TRIBUTE TO AN ANGEL IN HUMAN FORM – DADDY STEPHEN AKINOLA:

Hmmmmmmm! Daddy, how do I begin to write this tribute? It wasn’t long ago we joined in celebrating your birthday and it was such an awesome time in God’s Presence. What words can aptly describe what you meant to me and my daughters? Sometimes I wonder how God created you with such a heart that is so full of love, a heart that reaches out to others in spite of your own challenges, a sacrificial heart, how and where do I start from? I will forever remain grateful to God for bringing me to you in 2003. It marked a great turning point in my life. You are humility personified. Thank you for always giving me a listening ear inspite of your busy schedule. Sometimes, when there are conflicts in the home, you intervened and brought such divine wisdom that brought peace and restoration in the home. Thank you daddy. You taught me forgiveness from a different perspective. I cannot forget what you taught me about ” not only praying for those who despitefully use us, but also PRAISING  God for those who hurt us.” It was a very difficult thing to do, but you kept encouraging me to practice that. I wish I could share with you more testimonies I have just by obeying your advice.
