A deeply emotional video showing the late businessman Wicknell Chivayo and his wife, Lucy Muteke, participating in an altar call has resurfaced following their sudden deaths in a helicopter crash, offering a profound spiritual epilogue to their lives.
The moving spiritual encounter took place on Saturday, September 26, 2026—just four days before the couple and three others tragically lost their lives when their helicopter went down in Marondera.
Joining The Worshippers
The couple were among congregants who immediately responded after Apostle Selman invited people who wanted to receive Jesus Christ to come forward to the front of the auditorium.
In the resurfaced footage from the service, Chivayo and Lucy can be seen standing shoulder-to-shoulder among the worshippers as the preacher led them through a series of declarations of faith. At one poignant moment, both Chivayo and Lucy raised their hands in total surrender while participating in the prayer.
The video clearly shows Chivayo and his wife visibly engaged and taking an active part in the prayer, completely oblivious to the tragedy that would strike just 96 hours later.
Reflecting on Apostle Selman
Shortly after the service concluded, Chivayo took to his Instagram account to share his thoughts about the profound encounter with the Nigerian preacher. He noted that they had attended the House of Treasures Church Conference, which was held under the leadership of Apostle Felix Okoh.
“What a great honour and privilege for my wife and I to meet the highly respected Apostle Joshua Selman... I was truly blessed by Apostle Selman’s profound teachings, wisdom and revelation of the Word of God.”
Chivayo expressed that the teachings had left him spiritually refreshed. In a moment of deep introspection, he reflected on the absolute necessity of continuing to seek divine wisdom, regardless of one's earthly achievements.
‘I Need PRAYERS From Every Corner’
In what now reads as an eerily prescient final request to his followers, Chivayo linked his renewed faith to his grand ambitions, admitting that human effort alone falls devastatingly short.
“As I continue pursuing my vision... I understand very well that money, intelligence and hard work alone are never enough,” he stated candidly.
Concluding his long post, Chivayo expressed deep gratitude to the House of Treasures Ministries community. He described his meeting with Selman not as a mere coincidence, but as a heavenly orchestration.
“Some meetings are appointments; others are DIVINE APPOINTMENTS. This was certainly one of them. TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY.”
The Theology of the Eleventh Hour Grace
Pastorally, this viral video completely shifts the narrative surrounding Chivayo’s death. While public debate previously centered on his ostentatious wealth and sudden tragedy, this footage introduces a profound biblical reality: The grace of the eleventh hour.
In Matthew 20:1-16, Jesus tells the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard. Some workers labored all day, while others were hired in the eleventh hour, just before sunset. Yet, the master of the vineyard paid them all the exact same wage. God’s grace is not a corporate salary earned by a lifetime of perfect behavior; it is a sovereign gift granted to anyone who answers the call before the day ends.
For a man whose life was defined by earthly riches to publicly declare that "money is never enough" and bow his head to receive Jesus Christ just 96 hours before taking his final breath is nothing short of a divine rescue mission by the Holy Spirit.
Summary: Peace Before The Storm
The resurfaced video and accompanying Instagram post have sent shockwaves through social media, offering a deeply moving final chapter to the lives of Wicknell Chivayo and his wife Lucy. Knowing that they perished just four days after raising their hands in a prayer of salvation adds a profound, spiritual weight to the tragedy.
His final public reflections—admitting that earthly riches fall short and calling his time at the altar a "divine appointment"—will serve as a powerful, lasting testimony of faith. It is a striking reminder to all marketplace leaders: Make your eternal reservations before your earthly time runs out.
