Chavez in very delicate condition
CARACAS, Venezuela — President Hugo Chavez is breathing with greater difficulty as a new and severe respiratory infection has taken hold, Venezuela’s government said, describing the cancer-stricken president’s condition as “very delicate.”
A brief statement read on national television by Communications Minister Ernesto Villegas late Monday carried the sobering news about the charismatic 58-year-old socialist leader’s deteriorating health.
Villegas said Chavez is suffering from “a new, severe infection.” The state news agency identified it as respiratory.
Chavez, 58, has been undergoing “chemotherapy of strong impact,” Villegas added without providing further details.
Chavez has neither been seen nor heard from, except for “proof-of-life” photos released in mid-February, since submitting to a fourth round of surgery in Cuba on Dec. 11 for an unspecified cancer in the pelvic area. It was first diagnosed in June 2011.
The government says he returned home on Feb. 18 and has been confined to Caracas’ military hospital since.
Villegas said Chavez was “standing by Christ and life conscious of the difficulties he faces.”

Am encouraged by his trust and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and my prayer for him is that may he be strengthened as he goes through this pain and GOD himself gives him joy as he awaits upon him. May his people stand with him in prayer. I will remember to pray for him and his people during this trying period. Remember Zambians we went through it before and please never wish to go through it again by wishing HEMCS death we may not handle it this time around.

Good bye General. The General is now dying. He has run his race and fought his battle. At least he has shown us what it means to fight even with a deadly disease like cancer. It’s just that the inevitable can never be escaped. The General is about to give up the ghost. The Inevitable is about to happen though we may wish him quick recovery.

GOD HOLDS OUR LIVES IN HIS HAND. YOU ARE NOT THE ONE TO DETERMINE WHEN SATA WILL DIE BUT GOD. YOU CAN KICK THE BUCKET FIRST BEFORE THOSE YOU ARE WISHING DEATH. IN 2011 THERE WERE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO THOUGHT SATA WOULD DIE SOON BUT UNFORTUNATELY ENOUGTH THEY ARE DEAD. MIND YOUR WORDS BEFORE GOD PROVES YOU WRONG. YOU ARE GOING TO LOOK FOOLISH TO SEE SATA STILL GOING STRONGLY EVEN AFTER 2016.

The gospel according to TB Joshua says ours will be in this condition sometime around august , october for cheating the youth on his way to high office.
As you know as youths we have been patient but patience is not elastic so is his health.
We are now looking for another saviour.

I almost said perish with your TB Joshua. But that would have been too strong, unkind and unbrotherly. Instead I will say be careful with Tb Joshua. I would love him to concentrate on preaching the gospel that people may be saved. And then also no matter how wicked MCS is and how that he has not fulfilled this and that promise, we have no right to wish him dead. When and how one dies remains GOD’s secret. You may actually die earlier than MCS. We are but human and limited in every way. So let us not stand in the place of GOD.
