TRIBUTE BY THE PENTECOST INTERNATIONAL WORSHIP CENTRE (A Ministry of The Church of Pentecost), KOKOMLEMLE, ACCRA
To
Late Elder Samuel Bediako Waterberg
And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this down: Blessed are those who die in the Lord from now on. Yes says the spirit, they are blessed indeed, for they will rest from their hard work; for their good deeds will follow them!” (Rev. 14:13).
It is always disheartening and painful to part company with a loved one, especially when that person is endeared to your heart. That is the exact picture we are beholding this moment, as we mourn our beloved with heavy hearts.
We therefore, console ourselves with conviction that, our beloved late fellow in the Lord, brother, uncle, father and friend, has been called home from this flesh to His Maker.
It has pleased the Lord to call him to eternal glory to rest from his hard work on this earth at a prime age. Much as we would have wished that he lived until a good old age, we are gladdened that he has gone to be with the Lord as a gallant soldier of Christ; and we will see him again on the day of resurrection.
Having accepted the Lord Jesus as his personal Saviour, he was baptized on 21st February, 1992. He was an ordained Elder of the Church.
He joined PIWC Accra on 4th September, 2011, when he returned from the Netherlands, and has continued to be a dedicated member till his home call.
Besides being a Presbytery member, he was active, committed and selfless at the Centre. All can testify that, he served God wholeheartedly and faithfully until his demise. Being a banker with strong entrepreneurial abilities, he championed the set-up of the ARISE FUND (an Investment and loans scheme for the Centre) and managed it until his passing. He was punctual at Church services, Friday Prayer meetings and Bible Study discussions. His dancing skills at church was an attraction for others to dance to the glory of God.
He exhibited humility, warmth, affability and love to those who drew closer to him and from afar. He was a man full of energy. He was a business coach, mentor, an encourager, and generous.
Indeed, the late Elder was an achiever whose hard work, innovation and creativity in business creation and growth won him both national and International awards.
Leadership Roles served at PIWC
• District Presbytery Member
• Member of the Men’s Ministry
• Couple’s Fellowship Committee, Member
• Expatriate’s Ministry - Chairman
• Arise Fund Committee – Chairman
•
• Community Leader, (Dome, Taifa, Chantang and its environs)
Today, as his mortal remains lies before the congregation, families, friends, loved ones and sympathizers, we may conclude that he is no more, but his contributions, deeds and rich qualities during the life he lived on this earth are fresh in our memories.
The late Elder Samuel Bediako Waterberg will forever and really be missed by the Area, Pastorate, Presbytery and the entire congregation of the Pentecost International Worship Centre, Kokomlemle. However, we are gladdened in our hearts that, He who called him is faithful, and will keep him till we meet again.
Our heartfelt condolences go to the entire family, especially to the widow and the children, and be assured that God will surely take care of them.
ELDER, WILL BE MISSED AND FONDLY BE REMEMBERED BY ALL AS HE REST IN THE LORD.
WE FARE HIM WELL FELLOW SOLDIER OF THE CROSS
MAY HE SLEEP ON TILL WE MEET YONDER SHORE
