Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has returned to Cuba for a third round of radiation therapy to combat cancer after tearfully praying to God this week to let him live.
President Raul Castro warmly received Chavez on his arrival at Havana’s international airport before dawn on Sunday, the state newspaper Juventud Rebelde said.
The Venezuelan leader, who has twice undergone surgery in Cuba to remove cancerous tumors, flew to Havana after telling his cabinet he was leaving to “continue battling for life.”
A CALL TO ALL THOSE WHO FEEL THEY CAN CONTINUE ENJOYING THEIR SINFUL LIVES AND FORGETTING GOD.
WHEN THEY ARE FACED WITH THE HARSH REALITY OF LIFE AND DEATH THEY GET SCARED AND START CALLING ON GOD.
THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH!!!!
God is good but he is not our servant nor a magician. We cannot negotiate with him!!!
Death is part of the cycle of life. We get so cut-up in power that we forget to make the ultimate RESERVATION!!This is one walk we all have to take no matter how wealthy and powerful we are..Chavs; get ready to take that walk, c u soon!!
All who call on the Lord out of a pure heart He will not turn away. Mr. Chavez has the time now to acknowledge God, and I say, GREAT! better late than never. Some of us may never have that opportunity so let’s all take heed. We are all equal in sickness and death. I pray that God will indeed strengthen Mr Chavez and grant him the grace to go through this battle. May God also grant comfort to his family and other loved ones.
I’m praying for you mr chaves
I remember last year when the new broke that he had cancer and was dying. He deined that the story was true. I said, if is true, time will tell soon. I guess time is telling now.
Are Dominicans capable of compassion? How then can you be a christian nation if this quality is so severely lacking?
the blood of your ppl talking from the grave,( come it’s your turn)
lesson thought mr chavez,when you are on your platform speaking you see everyone below you as a flock of sheep and u are the sheperd but what you don’t realise is that their is a master for that sheperd,so next time look up to the sky and ask the Master to take control cuz without him you are nobody…….wish you well and time to turn your life around to him
wickedness must die
Death is a punishment for ALL
. We are all sinful but God in his mercy sent his son to die for our sins so that we dont burn in hell forever, Be careul what we say or wish for others. What must be said is that you hope that before he dies he accepts Jesus Christ as Lord of his life.
The Cancer is one of the crosses which God gave to him to carry, is he still asking for more? Chavez should ask God for the strength to carry it (the cross of cancer).
Secondly, Chavez’s ‘prayer’ seems more like a negotiation, Christ already wore His crown of thorns,carried His cross, was crucified, asked forgiveness for his executioners and stretched out his arms and died. There is no resurrection without Calvary! No Crown without Cross!! This is a lesson for all of us.
I pray God in His infinite wisdom to give us a cure for for this scourge called cancer!
He didn’t say the doctor was lieing on him, nuh?
I swear Dominicans act like the American Republican Party with such flamboyant responses in the name of god. Cancer can affect anyone not just Chavez. I’m not such why you guys on here almost seemingly saying “karma” to Chavez. Do you guys have all the story or you just go by propaganda. Smh. Who knows if what they are saying is right or wrong but don’t come onDNO to wish bad or tell someone off during their time of suffering. Christians are just the worst!
Republican tea party***
Chavez there is someone greater than u
.and now i see u know him, i hopr u repent, i am a sinner but i try my best to live a christian life, u on the other hand have oppressed people f many years, and now u asking god f more ye as ts, what do u want to do them this timr
I wish you well Mr. Chavez, won’t pray cancer on my worst enemy.
You were really one to battle with in the region, you made your mark, good or bad….however, no matter how powerful you are, you still do not have the power to save yourself…..a lesson for each and everyone of us. May we learn to love our neighbors as ourselves, to treat everyone with the fairness and respect they deserve. May we do all in our power to foster greater unity and peace in our communities, country and the world at large.
Most cancers are non curable, but the greatest Physician of all times has come….if you seek a breakthrough from your pain with sincerity and honesty….you never know…….you just never know…..
God loves all his children, and he bids all to come to him….I pray that you’ve answered his call….I can’t judge you, I’m in no position to…..may those that look up to you now learn to look pass you and straight into heaven, for God alone can save.
AMEN!
This man oppressed his people for years, neglected their pleas for help and now he wants an extension of life? To me, it seems like an extension for him will only prolong the misery of the Venezuelan people.
God have mercy on you.
There comes a time when we will all admit that there is one greater than ourselves. At the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is king of kings and Lord of Lords.God’s blessing to you Mr. Chavez
PERFECT comment in response to this article. Couldn’t have done a better job myself!
Alas… [wish you well]!!
Fidel Castro asked the Pope to pray for him after the distroyed the church in Cuba.
‘Tearfully praying to God’
the man is a communist!!!
let god judge the man .All you people always known people people fault.Amen
And u know that as a fact? Prove it!
By the if you compare socialism, communism and capitalism I bet you can find out which social construct has caused the most atrocities! But doing this would mean research something you wouldnt be interested in right?
Well finally he has come to realize who really is in charge. Let this be an example to all those who lead or control or an in authority that they can do what they want, where they want, to whom they want, with whom they want and when they want but when it comes to HOW LONG they want they have absolutely no control over that. It is my Father in Heaven who decides that.
Now you know God chavez, when you were oppressing your people who were crying out to this same god you never heeded their pleas and cries. What! you want more time to do more evil to them? Well only time will tell! May God have mercy on You!
What a load of nonsense. How then do you explain people in poor countries having shorter life expectancy than people in developed countries? Do you think god hates poor Africans and likes rich Americans? How about people who lived 200 years ago who would have been long dead by the time they turned 50? Do you think God did not like them as much as he likes us?
Some of you should think a little more than to attribute everything to god.
Skerrit main boy!
Oppressing his people? You do know that Chavez is a populist leader right? That his support base is the poor citizens who prior to his ascent to power ,had been marginalized while foreign US and other 1st world companies were allowed to exploit Venezuela’s natural resources??
Are you aware that the US supported a coup against him and it’s his people who came out in the streets to support him, and his army which refused to betray him, why he was able to survive it?
Are you aware that the US et al hate him because he nationalized many companies so that more revenue could be obtained for social programs like health and education for his countrymen??!!
You know that he is in the middle of an ELECTION battle??!! Contrary to his portrayal as a dictator?? When have u ever heard of a dictator in an election battle???
People like you who repeat US media propaganda against leaders they are unable to buy sicken me to no end…
Have you realized who’s in charge? Why don’t you put your name here in Dno so you too can be judged! Ooops. Nope you won’t do that hah?!
@splendour
to put it simple like my “professor neighbor”used to chant to her child when the child was doing too much;and to all who “High in Society”
You can do as much as you want;But you cannot do as long as you want;One day for all of us.
god’s blessings upon you mr. chavez as we all pray that your health be restored.
Now he admitting he is sick? All the time, they keep denying he had cancer.
Lying is too strong a word. Information is withheld sometimes in order not to cause panic in a country when it’s political leader may be battling a life threatening illness. Why are some Dominicans so cynical/crass and lacking in human kindness and empathy? Many seems to have hardened their hearts to human frailities. The man prayed and asked God to heal him, we should all rejoice for his salvation and pray with and for him. Jesus died for us all. Because he is a communist does not mean that he does not believe in God. Communist does not an agnostic make. Hold on a little while longer, some of us are going to be pleasantly surprised by the people we see in heaven.God bless you Mr. Chavez, may God’s will be done in your life. Amen.
what,s wrong with these men?it is god,s will god knows best and man cannot even reach half way to carry Jesus cross the man need to ask for forgiveness to all the people he have done wrong and go back to christ
stop looking at the world through america eye hypocrite
All the best with your recovery sir.
Chavez asked God to give him crowns of thorns and 100 crosses and he will carry them but he begged don’t take away his life. I personally believe he is playing on the sympathy of his people to win the next elections. However all I can say to Chavez is be careful what you pray for it might just be granted
May God grant u healing. my prayers r with u.
who cares i don’t give a dam
so he still “doesn’t have cancer” right? they thought they could lie his illness away but nope
