TRIBUTE TO PASTOR AKIN OLUMODEJI, HOUSE ON THE ROCK

Pastor Akin Olumodeji was one of the pastors
at House on the Rock, Abuja. Pastor
Akin as he’s called now was the brain behind the popular Gospel show “The
Experience” which has hosted many local and foreign Gospel artistes. Unfortunately,
he was also a casualty of the ill-fated Dana flight that crashed on Sunday June 3, 2012 in Lagos.

Even days after, members of House on the Rock the Refuge, Abuja,
find it difficult to accept the fact that he is dead.

Many of the members are still distraught. Many recall some
of his sermons, one of which was: “Actor no Dey Die.” Yet, while some remember his
daring dress-sense, others recall his style of prayers, amongst other numerous
fond things about him.

Interestingly, the day before he died, he told his church…
‘It’s okay to cry, but not to stay crying’

Pastor Akin was popularly referred to, as “ Pastor Colour,”
because of his love for colours, which is not conventional with men. Yet, he
always turned out outstanding in it. Despite his dandy side, he was spiritually
deep. He was Reverend Goodheart Obi Ekwueme’s (the Senior Pastor House on The
Rock the Refuge, Abuja)
armour-bearer and also handled some key departments in church. So, he was
always in your face.
A die-hard Chelsea fan, Pastor
Akin, as his admirers loved to call him, was exceptional in every way. To some,
he was a Pastor with the swag, which a million dollars can never buy. To some
he was a teacher, unearthing heavenly servant leadership. To Pastor Goodheart,
he was a faithful son; his unfailing love to serve was never in doubt. 
His life was more than a message. There was no pretense about his service. He
motivated those that worked closely with him, and never failed to compliment
when the job was done.
Pastor Akin was also a devoted husband and father. He is survived by his wife,
Toyin, his daughter, Hilary and his son, Goodheart. And may GOD comfort the
wife and children he left behind. 

Adieu!!!!!
