THE PROPHETS (Episode 6)

Modern Day False Prophets

My Daddy was an incredible man. He was a pillar for his family and made sure his children had the guidance needed. I am so grateful for my dad and miss him every day. I remember my dad and the great memories we shared, He insisted i must progress through school even when at a tender age i felt i could continue, He was there till i caught the fire of education and continuous learning which shaped my life.
He was in my camp during my service year to check up on me, even when i felt he shouldn't have bothered (believing i was already a grown man).
My dad gave me two major pieces of advice as an adult regarding family and personal conduct which have been my guiding principle in life next to the bible.
There was no negative situation I faced since childhood to adult stage that he was not available to help, counsel, and support me even when i wilfully pushed myself into some of those situations. My dad would shake the earth and move mountains just to be there for me and he did.
I remember him always and wished I had more years to express my profound love for him and celebrate his 70 years birthday which i promised him we would celebrate.
In love and faith, Daddy i remember and miss you every day.

Dad i never knew you would leave us so suddenly, you were a hardworking and intelligent man full of life. You tried your best in helping people, i am saddened that death took you away, but God said in all things we should give him thanks. Your death enlarged the emptiness in my heart, wished i had more time with you to understand the past, present, and future. Its quite unfortunate, we will miss you Dad.

Just like play, suddenly it dawns on me that you are gone, the memory of how it all happened is still so fresh in my mind. Dad your departure has just created a huge vacuum in the family, only God knows the reason he allowed it in time like this.
Dad goodbye till we meet in bosom of the Lord.

My beloved father, sometimes I wish for you to come back, but I don't want you to suffer again. You struggled to live, but death took you away from us. I am so happy you came to my house two weeks before death took you away from me. My husband and I hosted you and gave us your blessings that faithful day, little did we know that was the last day we would be seeing you.
You are my hero, a compassionate father that loved his children and a father that can even live for others, but God knows why you have to leave so soon.
I know you are with me, and I will always love and miss you with all my heart. Years may come and go, but your memory will never die in my heart beloved Daddy.
Until we meet again, rest on Daddy.

TRIBUTE TO MY BELOVED FATHER
It is sad and hard to belief that we won't see you again to share the jokes, happy and sad moment, you couldn't even wait to benefit from your fatherly labour. You were so jovial, generous, caring, responsive to the burden of those around you, everyone felt your impact.
You taught me that the beauty of life is not in the quality of the life, but in the quality of that life and that the happiness of life is based on how happy others can be because of you.
It is unfortunate that you never lived for me to be able to reciprocate your love to me, but i promise that to the best of my ability i will always make you to smile wherever you are.
I love you so much because you were the only father that i knew all my life till now and i will still love you till when we meet to part again at the bosom of God.
Daddy I love you so much, but God loves you more, fare well.
Adieu Daddy
Your beloved son

Every man's life ends the same way (Death), it is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguishes one man from another. A father is a male parent, a man who has begotten a child and his role in the family is a pivotal one. According to the biblical standard, a father is called upon to be a leader and protector for the fammily and to be an exammple of Christ's love towards his children. It is by priviledge that God brought me into this world through you. Death denied me the opportunity of seeing you face to face again, and even when it was clear that you depart this earth , I begged God to give you another opportunity just like he did to Hezekiah, so you'll have the opportunity to fulfil your parental obligation to me in nearest but here we are planning a funeral.
As Christians we cannot question God, we are only consoled that all things work together for good. You were a strong man and you have fought the battles of life with everything in you, but it is obious this was beyond you and God gave permission.
Goodnight Dad, till we meet again
