Dr. Akingboju Gbayisomore Tribute

Akin was like my big brother, he was always there for me. He had the biggest smile, he was kind, loving, considerate, down to earth and humble. He was smart and confident, no pretenses, what you see is what you get and he will be sorely missed.

Akin died in Christ, he was faithful till the end which means that he is sleeping in the Lord and we will see him again. 1 Thess 4: 16-18 says For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.

Let us keep Carmen, Bisi, Femi and Moremi in our prayers, let's ask the Lord to comfort and strengthen them. Let's remember his mom and siblings in our prayers also. Let's be there for them, not just over the next couple of weeks, they need our support much longer than that.

Most of all, let's all look unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. To Him belong all the honor and glory. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

2 Tim 4: 8 says Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.

Akin has a crown of righteousness laid up for him. Right now, he is sleeping in perfect peace.
