Daddy Kumuyi clocks 83
I remember when I was very young,
I asked my dad, who is that man on the TV?
He replied, "a great man of God",
I didn't understand "who is a great man of God",
I was confused, how can you tell that someone is a great man of God,
One day, I listened and I was enthralled by this man on the TV,
He spoke with so much fervor,
And it was like he could see my soul,
And speak to my spirit,
Then I understood, "this is indeed a great man of God",
From that very day, I started dreaming and aspiring to be a great woman of God,
And to become a mighty vessel in the hand of the Almighty,
Just like he is,
He became a mentor and a guardian,
I strived to be the best replica of him as I could be,
Because his life portrayed Christ,
And isn't that what we should all strive to be?
He taught me so much that even in years to come,
I would forever reference,
I looked at him and i was puzzled,
How could this great servant of God be so humble and meek,
It helped me to realize the importance of humility in the life of a Christian,
I also admired his resolve and integrity even after many years,
He maintain a strong standing relationship with God,
There's so much to emulate about this man,
And I can only hope to remain as humble as he is,
As meek as he is,
And to possess as much integrity as he does,
I remember watching and hearing about him,
But it was nothing close to experiencing him fully,
Bathing in his aura and presence,
I remember feeling utterly blessed,
Amd there was no doubt in my mind,
That this man is a great man of God,
He became not just a mentor but a father to me,
He embodied what it means to be a Christian,
And I'm forever grateful to him,
For making impact in the lives of everyone one of us all,
In deeper life church and the entire universe,
And that this generation was given such an opportunity,
To experience such greatness,
Even my children and my children children,
will benefit from the great work he is doing here on earth,
Thank you
