TRIBUTE TO AN INCREDIBLE DADDY

To pen down a tribute to You DADDY is the most perilous thing I have ever got to do all my life, words can hardly suffice. Silently and soberly I have wondered why? Why do you have to go and why now?

The futility is eye watering, Daddy without hesitation you could give up anything for people, you care for all, there are many things that you will be remembered for. You were an embodiment of peace, love care, tolerance and humility. A hard working man of faith, a man of truth, a man of value, a man of integrity and wealth of knowledge.

With tears in my eyes, with pains in my heart and with sorrows in my life, it is indeed painful to tell the world that I have lost my second DADDY.

In John 11vs44, Jesus demonstrated his power of resurrection in the life of his friend Lazarus. Yes, you are still God today, tomorrow and forever you can do something in the life of our daddy, when Jesus got to Lazarus he specifically called His name and the dead man came forth, please God call our daddy to come forth. I am so pained I wish I could do anything to make you live some more.

This is really heart breaking but all I can say is rest well in the bosom of the lord DADDY.

Tribute from the family of Late Bishop Owen Azubuike

You were a different thing to people but to me mama Owen you are GOD sent to the world. before when I was seeing you afar, I didn't know who you are, till your arrival at Emmanuel church Umule you are a different man and does your own things different every time you are smiling. As a church we are in great pains because we have lost a good man the way you expose the world of God brings hope to the hopeless so who are we to question God we are his vain yard he takes who so ever he want your death does not take God by surprise but the only thing that pains me much is the relationship that exist between you and your wife but i no that the Almighty that promise us in (Isaiah 54vs5) for thy maker is thy husband the lord of host is his name he also promise he is the father to the fatherless ) he also promise your children he would father them. We will miss you dearly but heaven is gaining, our hope is that we will see you on that beautiful resurrection morning, keep resting in the bosom of the Lord.

TRIBUTE TO VEN. OBINNA IBEZIM (Ph.D)

Fading away like the stars of the morning Losing their light in the glorious sun Thus would we pass from the earth and its toiling Only remembered by what we have done

You will be remembered by the joy and peace you brought into families

You will be remembered by the love you shed abroad. 

You will be remembered for your soft spokeness. 

You will be remembered by your practicality of marriage.

You will be remembered by your good neighbourliness.

You will be remembered by the smiles you put on people’s faces.

You will be remembered by your words of encouragement.

You will be remembered by the souls you quietly led to Christ.

You are not dead: you are resting from life’s turmoil.

May the mercy of God grant you eternal rest.

Tribute to a great Daddy

Daddy, I received the news of your death with shock. The 14th day of April, 2023 should not rejoice with other days of this year because it brought nothing good for us. Dad, you were kind, caring, friendly and accommodating. How can I forget the 25th day of May, 2014 the day I took my first Bible lesson, after service you blessed me, prayed for me and told my parents I would be great and that I would be a priest of which I accepted with faith. My consolation is in "Psalms 116:15" "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints". It is a privilege to know you and the honor is mine. In the words of Awonoor- Williams "Death has made war upon our house. The things so great that I cannot weep. My right arm is broken. The firewood of this life is for only those who can take heart". Rest in the Bossom of the Lord till we meet to part no more.

Sleep well daddy,

Good night my teacher

People's Venerable

Late Venerable Obinna Ibezim. He was the People's Venerable. Ezeoke people, should know that Death awaits everyone. They should endure. The Aba Diocesan Bishop, the Lord shall strengthen him. Obinna, was a good English teacher and he and all that knew him must miss the system by which he impacted wisdom and knowledge to those who came to him. Obinna was a gentle Christian Priest. Thank God, preferment never got into his head. 

A gentle Christian Priest is indeed gone to be with his Christ, who he loved and served till Death. The wife and kids must not forget that. God is indeed the Father and Husband of Father less.

When peace like a river attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll, whatever my Lots, thou hast taught me to say it is well with my soul. For the enemy came to steal, to kill, and to destroy, but you came that we may have life and have it more abundantly...Too hard to say goodbye daddy...Rest in peace and Rise in glory... 

From DIVINE.
