Tribute to Pastor Mrs Abosede Sanyaolu
My dear Abosede, if I was told you will depart this earth before me, I will say it is not possible!
My prayer has always been that you will outlive me.
Your death has come to me as a rude shock, your mum and I were childhood friends, my best friend at that until she bid us a cruel farewell over 35 years now!
Ever since, I have taken yourself and your younger ones as mine and we were all very close.
You were such a caring and selfless being, you were a source of succour to me at a very difficult time in my life almost 45 years ago, I lost my job then, but you ensured I got another job that put food on our table and gave me financial stability, thank you so much for this extraordinary kind gesture, for if you had not risen for my help then, life would have been a disaster!
Thank you so much for allowing God to use you to bring smile to my face and that of my children as a result, I can never forget this and I will continue to cherish and appreciate you all my days on earth, which I have always done while you were here with us. You were one in a million!
May your children never lack destiny helpers in Jesus name, amen.
Since the demise of your mum, you became a mother to your siblings, ensured that their needs were met, you were so selfless and you sacrificially stabilised them all, they will sorely miss you.
You exemplified true Christian virtues, you faced many battles of life and you conquered, a true soldier of Christ indeed, you laboured so hard, but now when you are supposed to be enjoying all your hard work, death struck, life is indeed unfair.
Our loss is heaven’s gain, God knows beyond what we do not, we are comforted by the fact that you slept in Christ and you will rise again. Sleep on my beloved, till we meet to part no more.
I pray that the Lord keep your children in the faith, so they will continue the good work you were doing and meet with you on the resurrection day.
May God’s peace abide with them, with Bayo, your husband, your sisters and your church flock that you have left behind and may the Holy Spirit comfort and strengthen us all in Jesus’ name, amen.
