It is so heartbreaking and sad to know that you are gone. Such a great loss. You were so kind, cheerful and friendly every time that I met you. I remember when I was younger and saw you in a convention, you looked at me and said, "You are so pink!" because I was dressed head to toe in pink. After that, you would always call me, "Miss Pink". I really miss you. I feel your loss so much and can't stop thinking about you.
Till we meet again.
Love, Billie.

Tribute to a gallant soilder Rev E. O. Akinyemi Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints (Psalm 116:15). Precious Reverend Elijah Akinyemi. Thirty-two years ago, I came to know you and your beloved wife, Sister Martha, of blessed memory, at a Christian retreat. Over that time, I knew you to be a gallant soldier of the cross, unwavering in your conviction, unapologetic about what you believed, and steadfast in your faith despite life's trials. Your devotion to God was palpable in every facet of your existence—you dedicated your time, your resources, and your very soul. I am certain that your labor in the Lord was not in vain.
Your love for the Lord was profound. We will never forget the swift decision you made to leave a lucrative job to serve Him more fully, a testament to your devotion. You never neglected the gathering of the brethren.
What once seemed like a distant reality has now become painfully clear—you are no longer with us. Truly, heaven's gain is earth's loss.
Thankfully Christ assured us saying, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die...... John 11:25 - 26 "You have fought the good fight, you have finished the race, you have kept the faith" (2 Timothy 4:7). Now, enter into His rest.
The scripture reminds us, "If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord" (Romans 14:8). We find solace in the hope that you have answered the call of your Maker and have been joyously reunited with your cherished wife, Sister Martha, in His divine presence.
Rest now in peace, dear shepherd, in the eternal embrace of the Lord, where there is no more sorrow or pain. Your legacy will continue to live in our hearts until we meet again. Indeed, "A life well lived is a death well accepted." For the life you lived among us, this is a death well accepted.
With deep gratitude and undying respect.

God's faithful servant, Dad as I always call you, it's still shocking to hear you are no more on this side with us, yet your imprint and supernatural life lives on.
You were a man of love and genuine burden for the sheep. I will never forget your impact in my life as a young believer. Your love towards me was so very real and unforgettable.
It was in your ministry I first saw the true manifestation of God's reality. The power of God moving in your services without hindrance.
Through out my stay with you, Anyone that steps into your services must testify that You've met the God of the Bible. Not just quotes but manifested reality of the Living God with evidences.
I thank God for your life and ministry which helped to show me how to Get God in manifestation. I am one of those who your labours helped on this journey back to Eternity.
Rest on God's humble servant, rest on Sir. It won't be long we will re-unite again. I love you and will forever do.
Rev. Henry Joseph

Dear Rev E. O Olu-Akinyemi I want to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible support and generosity you showed me and my family during my son's wedding? Your selfless contribution to helping us with accommodations was a massive weight off our shoulders, and we are forever grateful. But your kindness and generosity go far beyond just this one act. Your presence in people's life has been a constant source of inspiration, comfort, and joy. Your willingness to lend a helping hand, offer a listening ear, and provide a comforting word has made a profound impact on me and those around you. You are more than just a friend; you are a precious brother, a shining example of humanity at its best. Your generosity is not limited to grand gestures; it's the small, everyday acts of kindness that make a real difference in people's lives. Thank you for being you – an extraordinary individual with a heart of gold. Till we meet to part no more, continue to rest in the bossom of your maker. SHALOM.
AMOS OJO.

A Heartfelt Tribute to Pastor Elijah Akinyemi With gratitude to God for a life gloriously spent in God’s vineyard, I pay tribute to a true servant of God, Pastor Elijah Akinyemi, who departed this troubled world on Friday, November 24, 2024. His passing is a profound loss, but his legacy of faith, humility, and unwavering devotion to God will never fade. Pastor Elijah was more than just “another preacher”; he was a father figure, a mentor, and a man whose life reflected Christ in every way. A seasoned preacher of the Word, his messages were filled with divine wisdom, touching lives and transforming hearts. He did not just speak about faith—he lived it with rare godly qualities that inspired all godly hearts. His humility was remarkable. He never sought recognition, yet his impact was undeniable. He carried a heart of compassion, always ready to lift others in prayer, offer wise counsel, and extend a helping hand. His words strengthened me in my weakest moments, and his love for God challenged me to walk closer with Christ. A super Eagle has taken his flight. I didn’t know him for too long but the short time I knew him felt like I had known him all my life. We bonded quite well. He made me his friend though much older than I. Rest in Hope of resurrection great Eagle.
Pst. Thomas Sede (Abiding Faith Bible Church, Port Harcourt)

Who would have thought that Trinidad 2024 would be the last time I’d see you? Your departure is a reminder of the fleeting nature of time—we never know when our journey on this earth will end. But while we have the moment, let us cherish it and make the most of it.
You fought the good fight and finished your race; now, it is time to rest. The convention will never be the same without your warm smile and familiar greetings. Yet, we take comfort in knowing that this is not goodbye forever—until we meet again, rest peacefully in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Adieu, Pastor Elijah!

To the Akinyemi family On behalf of the Ottinah family, I sincerely express our heartfelt condolences to the Akinyemi family, near and far, for the passing away of our beloved brother, father, friend and pastor Rev. Elijah Oluranti Akinyemi.
How that The Lord has chosen this time to pluck this precious life, for His flower garden, to be displayed in His bouquet until…, was a shock to us all, but we are comforted in that timing of the LORD is perfect.
On the 13th of May 2018, Pastor Elijah Akinyemi visited LCA London with his dear wife sister Matha, and preached a message entitled “The Church Of The Living God”. I remember him saying, “I am a stakeholder in the kingdom of God”. The spiritual food that day was so rich that we were longing for more, alas, that was pastor Elijah’s last message to the Bride of LCA, London.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 KJV [13] But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. [14] For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him (The Lord Jesus Christ).
Psalm 116:15 KJV Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.
So, though our dear brother, father, friend and pastor has left us, he has now laid down this pest house.
2 Corinthians 5:8 KJV We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the LORD.
78 … And, then, when this robe of flesh is dropped, there is a natural body, theophany, a body not made with hands, neither born of a woman, that we go to.
Then that body returns back and picks up the glorified body....
65-0221E - Who Is This Melchisedec? Rev. William Marrion Branham See, just as the scripture says.
79 Second Corinthians 5:1, “If this earthly body be dissolved, this earthly tabernacle, we have another one.” See, we have bypassed that, to come straight from God, the attribute; to be flesh, to be tempted and tested by sin, like Adam did. But when testing of His Word is over, then we are taken up to this body that was prepared for us before the foundation of the world.
65-0221E - Who Is This Melchisedec? Rev. William Marrion Branham 1 Thessalonians 4:17-18 KJV [17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. [18] Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
May the LORD God Almighty rest His servant in perfect peace. In the Resurrection morning, we shall meet to part no more. We would not say fare thee well, but until… Shalom and sincere condolences.
William, Stella, Grace, Joel, Emmanuel & Charity.

A TRIBUTE TO A WARM HEARTED MAN It came as a shock to hear of your sudden death. My wife, mum and I, visited you at the male ward, Shell I. A Clinic, Phc where you were hospitallized. You were full of life. In your usual way, you welcomed us warmly, prayed for us and shared memories of good times and events. I never knew that was the last time i will set my eyes on you, hear your words of wisdom and feel those infectious smiles. Oh death, what a sting. Who am I to question the almighty God, the author and finisher of our faith.
Though your soujourn on earth was short lived but, the most remarkable thing about you is that you impacted lives positively. You had a call to serve the Lord and win souls for Christ and you did that with a passion.
You were principled, foccused and dedicated in all you did and that could be refñected or seen on the 4 loving children you and your late loving wife raised. They display good and examplary lives like disciples of Christ.
Death is a price we all as humans have to pay. Death is inevitable. The most important thing is the legacy one is going to leave behind after his or her demise. Life is like a market place where we come yo shop and afterwards , leave for our homes. All we do and acquire here is vanity upon vanity. The most important thing is saving our soul for eternity.
The community where you lived will miss you so much. You were a pillar that could not be shaken. Your voice was impactful and you were ready to sacrifice not onñy your resources but also time to make sure things were done properly and unattended issues were sorted out timely.
Rest on in the bossom of our Lord. We love you but God loves you most. Sleep on till we meet to part no more, AMEN.

It's was such a brief relationship but very impactful. We met in the business field, only to discover that both of us share same interest too in God's work.
U were such a transparent servant of God, u were a man of integrity, which was why we became friends. The list could go on n on! But go well, I trust that u are now resting from all ur works, till we meet to part no more! Good night My friend.

It was a great honour to meet and fellowship with Rev E. O Olu-Akinyemi. He was not only a shepherd to his congregation but also a living testimony of what it means to walk in faith, humility, and love. Your life and sermons were a testimony of God’s goodness.
The prophet said in the message "Why Are We Not A Denomination" “O Death, where is your sting? Grave, where is your victory?” You may bury me one of these days from here. I don’t know. But, brother, I’ll not be dead. I’ll tell you that. No, sir. Oh! We shall rise! Hallelujah! We shall rise! On that resurrection morning, when death’s bars are broken, We shall rise! Hallelujah! We shall rise!
We will miss you. May your soul Rest In Peace.
