Smiling from heaven: Prophet Lovy fulfils late brother Christian’s last wish


Prophet Lovy Longomba, a prominent Kenyan preacher based in the U.S. and leader of Revelation Church International, has embarked on a remarkable journey back to the music industry, fulfilling his late brother, Christian Longomba’s promise.

Christian tragically passed away in March 2021 after a prolonged battle with the after-effects of brain tumour removal surgery.

Christian formed one-half of the iconic Longomba duo that dominated Kenyan airwaves in the early 2000s.

Before his untimely demise, Christian expressed a heartfelt wish for his brother—to witness his return to their musical roots and create songs that reflected their shared divine talent.

Lovy recently shared with his congregation the inspiring story behind his return to music.

“On March 13, 2021, my brother Christian was transitioning, but before that moment, he consistently urged me to return to music. He insisted that this was a gift from God,” Lovy recalled.

With a renewed sense of purpose and a promise to honour his brother’s legacy, Lovy wasted no time in returning to the studio.

In an astonishing display of creativity and dedication, he produced ten songs in just four days—an achievement he attributes to the unwavering support of his wife and his unwavering faith in God.

The culmination of Lovy’s musical journey comes with the announcement of his upcoming single, ‘Children of Zion,’ marking his first release in several years.

“Without my promise to my brother and certainly without God’s approval, I wouldn’t have returned to music. Thank you, my Heavenly Father, for granting me the chance to be creative once more,” he expressed.

On his 3rd death anniversary, Prophet Lovy wrote:

“03/13/2021 was one of the most difficult days of my life but the Grace of God kept me. I miss you, Christian.”

He also shared a tribute video detailing Christian’s last days while in the hospital with laughter, energy, and zest for life, despite being in much pain.

“Even in pain, he still knew how to laugh, he would enjoy himself even to the last days,” Lovy wrote.
