I have struggled to put together a tribute as nothing prepared me for a time like this. You represented so many things to us and above all a dear father-figure. I will miss the endearing way you called me daughter. I will miss your ever smiling face. Thank God you came, you saw and you conquered. We are victorious forever in Jesus. Take your rest Daddy, eternal peace is yours.

TRIBUTE TO MY FATHER, MY PASTOR, MY IN LAW AND GOD'S GENERAL Beyond words and descriptions to say that a man that played a role of four cardinal duties just left like that. It's understatement to say that such vacuum left behind is irreplaceable. However, I take solemn consolation in the word of God that says that we should not be sorrowful like them that don't have hope because surely we which are alive and remain shall not hinder them that asleep, for the trump of God shall sound and we all shall be caught up together in the clouds, to meet the Lord in air and so shall we (all) ever and ever be with the Lord. Brother Andrew Joseph.

My father my father the Chariot of Israel and the Horsemen thereof - Dad as i profoundly call you: you have been a father to me in all aspect of my life. Am a Token of your Examplary life of Christ.

God bless your Precious Soul. Your Son. .. SAMUEL

TRIBUTE TO PASTOR AKINYEMI It is with heavy hearts, but also with a deep sense of gratitude for the life he lived. Pastor. Akinyemi was not just a preacher of the Word, but a shepherd of souls, a guide through life's trials, and a beacon of love and hope to all who knew him. In his years of service, Pastor Akinyemi touched countless lives with his unwavering faith, his gentle spirit, and his commitment to spreading the Gospel.

A Tribute to my dear Dad. My Father was a man who had smiles to brighten your days, who always made you feel good with his warm words of praise. And what's more he knew what to do to make wishes come true. He was my Father. My Father was someone who always had good stories to tell, but just as importantly he knew how to be a good listener as well. He was patient and kind and the very best friend you could ever hope to find. He was no ordinary man. And I'm proud to tell the world that he was my Father. Rest In Peace

Pastor Elijah Akinyemi was a beacon of light and inspiration to all who knew him. Beyond the pulpit, he was a mentor, a counsellor, a father and a friend. He had an extraordinary ability to connect with people, and to offer guidance rooted in word of God (The Bible) and The Sermon book. His encouraging words were a source of comfort and hope to so many. I take solace in knowing that Pastor has completed his earthly journey and now rests in the eternal embrace of Elohim. While I grieve the loss, I rejoice in the promise of the resurrection and the hope of reuniting with him in glory. As he fondly sang, “What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see. ” Thank you, Pastor, for the countless lives you touched and the seeds of faith you planted. Your work here is done, but your light will continue to shine in all of us who were blessed to know you. Rest on Gallant Soldier of Christ!

In loving memory of my dear pastor and friend. His unwavering faith and compassion touched my heart, guiding me through both joyous and challenging times. He shared the message of hope and love with a warmth that inspired me to grow in my faith. Though he may no longer be with us, his legacy of kindness and devotion will forever live on in our hearts. I am grateful for the time we shared and the lessons he imparted, knowing that he now rests in the embrace of our Lord. Last we spoke was when he sent me this picture, alerting me he saw my in-law at a wedding in Nigeria. How lovely he was. May he rest in eternal peace and comfort.
