Melinda Sapp passes…Wife of Marvin Sapp
As being reported by Praise Houston:
It’s with our deepest sympathy that we inform you that Pastor Marvin Sapp’s wife MaLinda Sapp has passed on today after battling colon cancer.
It was confirmed on the Lonnie Williams show today. An official press release has not been issued yet but more details will be coming on the Yolanda Adams Morning show tomorrow morning!
Earlier this year, Marvin Sapp was testifying of how his wife, MaLinda, was given a clean bill of health by doctors after being diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Cancer in 2009. But then, those health concerns resurfaced and Marvin Sapp requested intense, around-the-clock prayer.
Sad day, she will truly be missed.

Man of GOD, my heart goes out to you and your family. Sister Melinda is gone home to be with the LORD. May your burden be very light and your yoke ever so easy.From this day forth may the annointing of the MOST HIGH be upon you in such a way that you will call those things that be not as though they were. Even when you minister in song let their be healing of all manner of sickness and diseases in your songs, that GOD may be glorified. AMEN. SO BE IT.
2 Corinthians 5
1For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
3If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
4For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.

Heaven was in need of another angel and requested the presence of Lady Sapp and because of her humbleness, she so graciously submitted to the call! Now, as we prepare to adjust to the circumstance as it has been hard but destined to be, let us not be weary for you see now we know that heavens’ garden must be complete, because it has a wonderful, beautiful sweet angel that can never be beat!

I just lost my sister at the age of 43 to colon cancer a couple months ago. It is still so very fresh because she too was give a clean bill of health in 2009.We are praying for the Pastor Marvin and his family. One thing that puts our hearts at ease is know that our loved ones had a relationship with Christ. Therefore we are NOT saying goodbye….we are saying goodnight. WE WILL SEE YOU IN GLORY!

GOD HAS AWAY OF PREPARING US, EVEN WHEN WE ARE SOMETIMES UNAWARE OF IT. BEING THE SONG, NEVER COULD HAVE MADE IT? LISTEN TO THE WORDS, IT SOUNDS TWO FOLD. YOUR WIFE ENCOURAGED YOU TO RECORD THAT SONG INSPITE OF YOUR DOUBTS, SHE KNEW THAT HER END WAS NEAR, AND I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT SHE LEFT THAT SONG AS A MEMORIAL FOR YOU TO REMEMBER HER BY, THIS WAS AWAY OF LETTING YOU KNOW THAT EVEN THOUGH I WON’T BE AROUND PHYSICALLY ANYMORE . YOU CAN HOLD ON WITH THIS SONG, THE LORD WILL SEE YOU THROUGH. IT HURTS SO BAD TO LOOSE YOUR OTHER HALF, YOU WERE ONE, BUT SHE LEFT YOU GIFTS, AND EVERY TIME YOU LOOK AT THEM YOU WILL SEE A PART OF HER IN THEM. ESPECIALLY YOUR LITTLE GIRL. I AM PRAYING FOR YOU AND THE CHILDREN, THIER IS A HEALING PROCESS THAT CAN ONLY TAKE PLACE IN TIME. ALTHOUGHT WE SEE THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY, ONE DAY FACE TO FACE. GOD HAS SOMETHING GOOD TO COME OUT OF THIS., BE STRONG FOR YOUR CHILDREN. LEAN ON THE LORD MORE THAN EVER BEFORE FOR YOUR HELP, HE HASN;T LEFT YOU, IT;S ONLY A TEST. YOUR FAITH WILL HAVE TO PROVE ITSELF. BUT WE BELIEVE IN YOU. MELINDA LEFT HERE LOVING YOU AND THE CHILDREN, AND HER FAITH IN YOU AS A HUSBAND, AND AS A FATHER LIVES ON. GOD BLESS YOU.
