Pastor Elijah Akin, your unwavering dedication to sharing God's word has been a guiding light in our lives. You have not only preached the Gospel with passion, but also embodied its teachings through your compassion, unwavering support, and genuine love for our community.
We are deeply grateful for your leadership and the positive impact you've made on each of us, shaping us into stronger believers. Thank you for being a true shepherd and mentor, and for always being there for us when we needed it most.

Tribute to a Gallant Soldier.
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints . Bro Elijah Oluranti Akinyemi fought day and night in season and out of season for the course of the kingdom of God. He proved to me that truly, a faithful and gallant soldier always dies at his duty post.
Sir we will meet and part no more in that city where God is the builder and maker.
Sleep on SHALOM...

Short of the word to use but God gives and he takes for a reason best known to Him.
Thank you for giving to the Lord, Rev. Elijah Akinyemi

TRIBUTE TO OUR BELOVED REVEREND ELIJAH AKINYEMI. Truly, there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven (Ecclesiastes 3:1). You were such an epitome of a true shepherd.. Thanks for all the care and love that you demonstrated here on earth. You were really intentional about the welfare of your sheep. Thanks for giving to the Lord. Thanks for all the love shown to my mum during her last days on earth. May God remember all your labours and grant you eternal rest in glory. I will miss your Ha-ll-e-lu-yah oooo. Rest on till we meet again.

You Saw It Coming!
My dear alàgbà nínú Olúwa, I received the news of your passing exactly 5 days after our last meeting with sadness. Vivid recollection of your protest to your medical team to allow me lay hands on you and pray cut deeply emotionally, yes I prayed from the distance we shared that day, I have been praying before then and prayed even more fervently after that day. God answered my prayers and those of others. In God's Great Wisdom, He knew what answer is best and certainly we didn't lose for all things work together for good to them that love the Lord and who are the called and we certainly are.
Few weeks before your passage, I called to check on you and after exchanging pleasantries, you requested for a switch to a video call so we can see and talk face to face. You said it was important for this to be done as there may not be another opportunity. Then you took a gallant step of reconciliation on a matter of strain and insisted I pray for you, I gladly did and you testified how relieved you felt. I saw this as Victory for God. Our conversation lasted for close to 40 minutes and some of your utterances made me conclude that you were having a valedictory session with me. I was not proven wrong, this is why I said: You Saw It Coming.
I will miss your fellowship, on phone and physically both at home and abroad. I will miss your ever-constant kind words of encouragement and appreciation for my ministry, and I will miss your friendship.
My prayers and support shall always be with your family and your immediate constituency, the Church of God in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Adieu Baba!
