PASTOR DIMKPA SOLOMON ALLISON
TRIBUTE OF A SPIRITUAL FATHER, MENTOR, FRIEND, TEACHER, GIVER, LOVER OF GOD AND DEFENDER OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH, PAPA STEPHEN OLUWOLE AKINOLA.
2 KINGS 2:12 “AND ELISHA SAW IT, AND HE CRIED, MY FATHER, MY FATHER, THE CHARIOT OF ISRAEL, AND THE HORSEMEN THEREOF. AND HE SAW HIM NO MORE: AND HE TOOK HOLD OF HIS OWN CLOTHES, AND RENT THEM IN TWO PIECES.”
PAPA STEPHEN OLUWOLE AKINOLA, THE DISCIPLE WHOM JESUS CHRIST LOVES, WAS INDEED AND IN TRUTH, MY SPIRITUAL FATHER. I HEARD THE WORD FROM HIS MOUTH THAT BROUGHT THE SALVATION OF MY SOUL, SOMETIME IN 1993 WHEN THE HEADQUARTERS OF REDEMPTION MINISTRIES, WAS AT AFAM STREET, D-LINE, PORTHARCOURT, NIGERIA. THE GRACE OF GOD HAS SUSTAINED ME ALL THE WHILE. TODAY, I’M A PASTOR IN ONE OF THE BRANCH CHURCH.
AS MUCH AS THE SPIRITUAL CONTROLS THE PHYSICAL, I’M GLAD TO SAY THAT GOD USED HIM TO CHAT THE COURSE OF MY LIFE. I’M WHAT I’M TODAY AND WHAT I WILL EVER BE, THROUGH THIS VESSEL.
THOUGH I MAY NOT SEE HIM, HEAR THOSE REVIVING MESSAGES AND COME UNDER THE UNCTION IN WHICH HE FUNCTIONED, I’M CONSOLED THAT HIS LEGACIES LIVES ON. THE STORY OF MY SALVATION CAN NEVER BE SAID WITHOUT HIS NAME, PAPA STEPHEN OLUWOLE AKINOLA, BEING MENTION.
I BELIEVE WITH ALL MY HEART THAT THOUGH ABSENT IN THE PHYSICAL BODY, HE IS WITH THE JESUS CHRIST, WHOM HE PASSIONATELY AND RELENTLESSLY LABOURED FOR. I LOVE HE WOULD HAVE STAYED LONGER BUT GOD LOVES HIM MORE THAN I DO AND HAVE GREATER PURPOSE FOR HIM.
GOODNIGHT, THE FIELD MARSHALL IN THE VINEYARD OF JESUS CHRIST.
PASTOR DIMKPA SOLOMON ALLISON,
REDEMPTION MINISTRIES, OMOKU 2.
