To my Grand Uncle, yes, though the plan was never to live forever, but to have legacies that will live forever, however, no one that ever knew or had a personal encounter with you either from afar or closely won’t have wanted you to live on earth forever if possible but that would not have been a great reward for your service to the Kingdom. If tears could bring you back you would have gotten oceans, if testimonies, you would have gotten millions of words, if lives you have touched, directly or indirectly, hundreds of thousands. For the very few moments, I had the opportunity of getting close, so many things were learnt and was still in the process when the Heavenly call came in. Yes, you needed to go home, but was a great shock to everyone, not even on the birthday of one of your fathers in the Lord. One of the most painful things apart from the fact that no one will ever fill that slot again, yes, no close replica, is that you didn’t wait to receive our appreciation on earth. We are very much confident that the rewards over there are far much more than we can ever give and no matter how much we want you here with us, God wants you there with Him. You are a True and Sure Soldier for Christ, I am humbly proud to be related to you. May God help us all that, what we have learnt from you and your heart desires for us all will be fulfilled.
Rest on my Grand Uncle and Pastor, Rev’d Steve Oluwole Akinola.
