To say I am just getting to know of your murder will be a big fat lie. Why the world has not heard from me until now is because my fingers have been so heavy to put down my thoughts on the evil that an innocent looking young man did to you.

First of all, I wish to thank you for the discipline that saw you through school. Also, you were an industrious fellow. Although I never knew you in person until death made you famous; reports note that you went in search of a job but unfortunately met death.

Am sorry for what a fellow youth did to you. In fact his action made me dumb for a while after reading of your death. On this day of your funeral my fingers became light and so I write to youths to share an important message on your behalf.

Dear youths, it is true that life is difficult for many of us economically . Thus, alot of us go about looking for “who will cut soap for us.” However, not every soap is good for the skin. Unfortunately, many youths now bathe with the soap of wickedness.

Imagine Akpan and his good looks. I wonder how it feels for him killing people and selling their body parts to some politicians, prophets and prophetesses as he confessed. Can you now see, that the worst terrorists live among us as friends, neighbours, and leaders.

I am very sure Akpan is not the only one involved in the blood business. Several youths today are living large upon human blood. Let the death of Iniobong be a message of repentance to such ones.

Please be careful. We live in the most perilous times in our society. Do not go to where you do not know. Watch your back as you go out and come back home. Be mindful of whom you give your trust because the desire to be rich without genuine efforts has turned many into devils.

There are many prophets in our society today. But I tell you without mincing words, 90% of them are false. While some are mere trick stars, the rest are ritualists. Please mindful of the Churches you attend and those you call your prophets or prophetesses.

You can now see why it is bad to rig elections and sell your civic rights over a thousand naira to bring a ritualist to power. How could men and women who should be rich in political ideologies for the development of the nation be customers to a business man who sells human parts?

At this point, I lack further words to say. May the soul of Hiny Iniobong Umoren and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.

Can justice allow the world to know the customers of Akpan???

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God has enjoined members and mourners not to weep for his deceased son, Dare.

He said this in his short exhortation during the farewell service for Dare on Tuesday.

In the video which was shared on his verified Instagram page, Pastor Adeboye described his son’s death as a seed that will bring “special harvest.”

He said, “Cry if you wish to but not for Pastor Dee because he’s resting in glory.”

He went on to ask for prayers while expressing his gratitude for the support his family has received so far.

Adeboye said, “Pray for me. Keep on praying for us, pray for my wife, keep on praying for the widow, for the children but more than anything else, keep on praying for yourself, so that you too will finish well and finish strong.”

PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE”S SPEECH….

“Whatever we have is given to us by God, be it WEALTH,WIFE,HUSBAND,CHILDREN etc and if it got taken away by God, all we can do is give God glory for actually given us the privilege to enjoy those wealth or kids temporary and is not for us to complain, blame and question God. God took away EZEKIEL wife and asked him not to mourn over her (EZEKIEL24 VS 16).

What we see as sorrows might be joy in the sight of God, I mean His ways and thoughts are not the same with ours we shouldn’t forget that both good and bad happens at God’s command
(LAMENTATIONS 3 vs 38)
FINALLY in all things let’s learn to say thank You Father and IT IS WELL..God bless all of you in Jesus Name.”

I do not mourn him at all.
I weep because he left me.
He slept, he did not die

Let the Redeemed of the Lord shout a wonderful Hallelujah. That Hallelujah is standing on one leg, I want you to jump up, rise on your feet and shout Hallelujah.

Pastor Dare, my husband was a wonderful person. He was amazing in every sense of the way.

I do not mourn him at all, I weep because he left me.
He slept, he did not die and I know, I am sure, because on the Resurrection morning, he will rise again and we will see him in glory.
I am sure because he was saved.
I am sure because he believed in Christ.
His salvation was sure, it was certain.

He said, “if I die today, I know I am fulfilled. I’ve done what the Lord has asked me to do.”
He was not afraid of death. He was not afraid.
It is not a matter of how short, it is not a matter of time, but how well and He lived well.

He lived a good life, He lived to the glory of God. He lived, he served God. His life was dedicated to Christ and that is why I am sure that he is in Heaven.
I am sure that he made it.

I want to say brethren today, if you are not sure of your salvation, if you are not sure if you sleep tonight you might not wake up tomorrow.

You are not sure of where you will be in eternity.
You have not given your life to Christ at all.
If you are here today, you heard and perhaps you just came to see: Yes, It’s true, he is sleeping in the Lord.
But are you sure of yourself?
Are you sure of where you will be?
Are you sure of eternity?
You haven’t given your life to Christ or perhaps you did and took it back from Him, I want you to raise your right hand this evening.
If you are not sure of your salvation, you are not sure you are going to sleep in the Lord, you are not sure of where you are going to end up!

You are afraid to die because you are not living a holy life, if you are afraid to die because you are not saved, because the devil is still in control of your life, I want you to raise your right hand up this evening. Wherever you are, just raise your right hand up.
Raise it up and let the Lord save you today.

Don’t be ashamed, don’t be shy. You are not going to die. I want you to be saved just like my husband was saved. I want you to make it. I want you to be sure of yourself.

I want you to live your life fully for Jesus.
I want you to rededicate your life to Him if you were once saved.
I want you to tell Him, “Lord Jesus, I come before you today, save me. I want to surrender my life back to you. Help me because I cannot do this on my own. That if you come before tomorrow morning, I will reign with You in Your Kingdom.” In Jesus name we have prayed.

Thank you everyone that has come to honour God in his life. Thank you for coming and I pray that the Almighty God will reward us all in Jesus name. Praise the Lord.
