Remembering Pastor Zachery Tims

 Remembering Pastor Zachery Tims
It was just nearly one year ago the late pastor Zachery Tims was found in a New York hotel. The news of his death shocked the church world and followers alike. Zachery Tims was a popular pastor in nearby Orlando, Florida but by the time this news hit nationwide, he became a household name.

Since it has been a year, followers and spectators are still in the dark about exactly what happened the day of his death. The toxicology and autopsy reports have not been released due to Tims' mother having them court ordered shut, for now. The family is moving forward and even the church has an unfavorable pastor in charge but they have moved on as well. But what about the true of his death?
 Will it ever be released to the public as most cases have been in the history of America?

We reported early this year:

Madeline Tims' attorney Ricardo E. Oquendo says the Appellate Court should grant the stay and it could be more than a year until a decision is made. Apparently, Oquendo has until October to file his appeal.

Madeline Tims attorney also curtly states: "If I win my stay, there will not be a decision on the Tims case until 2013," Oquendo said.

Zachery Tims Cause of Death To Be Appealed by Mother

We have the latest on Zachery Tims' cause of death. Apparently, the autopsy results will remain sealed even though a Manhattan Judge ruled it should be released to the public.

13News.com reported hours ago that an appeals court in New York has issued a temporary stay on Wednesday. This was after Zachery Tims' mother filed a notice she will be appealing the state Supreme Court ruling.

The courts have given Madeline Tims, mother of Zachery Tims, 30 days to file an appeal after she stated to the court in a four page letter that: "her son's cause of death would be "embarrassing to her, his children, and her grandchildren" and the congregation at New Destiny Christian Center in Apopka."

Are We In A Worst Nightmare After The Death of Zachery Tims, Witnessing His Church In Leadership Of Paula White?

Saints of God, are you reading this right now?  Because if you are, it is seems as though we are living in a worst nightmare after the death of Zachery Tims and we cannot wake up.  Is this real?  Have we just witnessed Paula White taking the position as pastor over Zachery Tims church, after he was allegedly discovered dead in New York?   Is this suppose to be God's people still in that church supporting this transition of leadership, after the death of their dead pastor?  What is God saying about all of this?  Do they even care how God feels about all of this?  That's what hurts so bad.


Yes, when people make decisions and do not even think about how the body of Christ is feeling and especially God, really causes a lot of pain and division.   Those who are supporting Paula White as their new pastor, are they even concern about how Pastor Riva Tims and those children feel?  Do they even care about watching how Paula White hugged her before the church, after her late ex-husband's death?  Are New Destiny Christian Center church members regarding how she feels while watching her entitled position snatched before the nation?  

Furthermore, a lot of souls who dedicated their lives to God through the late Dr. Zachery Tims are at stake.  These men, women and children whom got saved just by watching him on television just may get bitter and walk away from God, simply because of how Pastor Zachery Tims died and now it was like war for someone to take his position as pastor. Within the body of Christ, it is supposed to be so much better than this.  It also seems very strange that there is so much diversity, African Americans seem to be so weak at New Destiny Christian Center.  They are willing to allow their previous co-pastor Riva Tims and her children to endure more pain being left as a single black woman to raise all four kids alone while a famous celebrity pastor offends her, allegedly.  They seem to be on a plantation as eager souls willing to be slaves under a slave master in the 21st century.  Are the members whom are still attending New Destiny worshiping God or are they idolizing Paula White so much, they are forgetting God is in authority and he certainly has they last say what may occur much worst than their late pastor's death?  

For too long, African Americans have been willing to hurt each other for their own selfish reasons and it just seems like in this case, their dedication to Paula White involves personal resentment against Pastor Riva Tims for how she could no longer deal with anymore pain in her marriage and ceased New Destiny, a few years ago.   Furthermore, African Americans whom profess salvation do not need to idolize anyone whom they think is superior, because of their race, because God did not create any superior race.  Whether we want to discuss race in the body of Christ or not, race is in issue in this situation and it involves black people offending a single black woman left to raise her children alone without the emotional and financial support of their late father.  As you know, black women have suffered too long as single mothers without fathers to help them raise their children, so this is not just about Pastor Riva Tims entitlement as pastor.  God is still in charge of this universe and for those would rather see Pastor Riva Tims hurt and not support her, because they are used of degrading and disrespecting their own race will eventually suffer.   African Americans in the church whom are honoring man's wishes, instead of God's desires will have to reap a worst consequence, because God's House is not meant to be identified as a place of conflict over leadership positions.  Pastor Riva Tims founded New Destiny Christian Center with her late ex-husband and should be able to return as pastor with her children to witness her victory.

Happy New Year, dear readers.

New Destiny Church Members To Boycott And Withhold Tithes

As you can see, NDCC is not standing for this new pastor and her antics per Paula White. We don't blame them one bit and we believe they are doing the right thing by fighting this to get justice in this case.
Here's the latest from The Orlando Sentinel on the fight to get the right pastor in their church:

Members of New Destiny Christian Center say they plan to seek the removal of church leaders over the selection of Tampa-based preacher Paula White to lead the church following the death of Zachery Tims.
Church leaders did not respond to a request to meet with members to explain the selection of White. Organizers of the petition drive are now calling on members to boycott Sunday services and withhold their tithes and contributions.
Opposition leader Eugene Roberson said his group wants to remove the church board of directors.
“We are seeking legal action,” Roberson said Wednesday.

Let Us Pray for Zachery Tims Church Family of New Destiny Christian Center

Since we have found out about the death of Zachery Tims, it has indeed brought shock among the body of Christ.  He was so young, only 42 years old.  It something how when you are still living they call that age, old (an obvious silly trick of Satan).   Anyway, it is very hurting to know we have lost a dynamic man of God.   He was so well liked among everyone that knew him and even those who knew of him through media television, he was just an awesome man of God.   Regardless of the evidence discovered near Pastor Tims deceased body, we loved him and God loved him even more.  The most important thing for us as children of God to do now is, pray.   We need to pray for the church members of New Destiny Christian Center in Orlando, Florida.  


Most definitely, the church family of New Destiny Christian Center needs strength in this time of bereavement.   We feel they are scared and confused, regarding this traumatic past news of losing their pastor.   God wants the body of Christ to now pray like we have never prayed before, because God is doing something and for a longtime, he has been trying to get the attention of those who are not completely yielding to His throne.   


The future of New Destiny Christian Center is at stake.   There has been a discussion of the possibility Riva Tims, the ex-wife of the late Zachary Tims to take the leadership position of the church.   We do not know yet, we have just been following the latest news from MyFoxOrlando.com.  Whatever the case maybe or whomever takes on the leadership role at New Destiny Christian Center, we must keep praying that the church family remains strong, along with Riva Tims and their children.   God bless you.
