The Late Dr Myles Munroe: From A Poor F Student To Becoming A Celebrated Preacher

His home was in the poorest village at a small island where “people were so poor that they even didn’t know that they were poor.”

“Our mother spread a mat on the floor for us to sleep. Roaches and rats ran over our bodies as we slept,” he said during the interview.

Rising from an F student to own a jet Dr Munroe who was born in the Bahamas was the sixth born in a family of 11 living in a wooden house with four big rocks holding up the house above the ground, according to the standard.

Born in 1954, Dr Myles has degrees in fine arts, education and Theology from Oral Roberts university (1978), a Master’s degree in administration from the University of Tulsa (1980), and has been awarded a number of honorary doctoral degrees.

He also served as an Assistant professor of the Graduate School of Theology at Oral Roberts University.

According to a biography in his website, the 60-year-old has published more than 100 spiritual and inspirational works and is a government and business consultant to Fortune 500 businesses.

A total of 49 of his books were best sellers. His books Understanding the Purpose and Power of Woman, Understanding the Purpose and Power of Men and The Most Important Person on Earth are some of his popular titles among book readers in Kenya.

He was in Kenya on his Tour of Africa where he was visiting 9 countries to speak about leadership and change. While in Kenya, Dr Munroe pointed out that Kenya’s education system needed adjustment.

Until he met his death in a tragic plane crash in the Bahamas the American televangelist was the founder of the Bahamas Faith Ministries and also a writer, preacher, thinker, leader, publisher and motivational speaker.

In an interesting twist of fate the celebrated preacher had predicted his own death on the popular Jeff Koinange Live Show.

“I want to challenge every Kenyan to go to the cemetery and disappoint the graveyard. Die like the Apostle Paul who said I have finished my course, I have kept the faith and I have been poured out like a drink offering. There is nothing left. I am ready to die. That’s how I wanna die because there is nothing else for me left to die,” he told the show’s host.

“When you die, die like I am planning to die. Empty. It’s finished,” He added in the show. Myles died alongside nine other people including his wife and daughter in the Bahamas.

Following his untimely death, various leaders and individuals from around the world have eulogised him using his quotes and preachings.
