Why Primate Ayodele Is Overdue For OFR Award

By Prince Ayo Adegboye

Let me begin my essay with this unique quote by Mahatma Ghandhi, which says the best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. 

A quote which has long been lost in modern-day African Christianity.

The biggest sin in the world is not being able to love someone but acquiring the commonwealth of others to satisfy your selfish interest which many of our elites today are guilty of, including our religious leaders. 

Primate Ayodele is indeed a man after God's heart and a beckon of hope in Christendom in Africa during this dark period of our time. 

Primate Ayodele is not only called by God as many do come to deceive the public, but a man who consistently walks in God's direction fearfully and trembling as to give account of all his deeds on the last day. 

As a media guru with almost thirty years of experience, with seventeen years devoted to religion, Primate Ayodele is one of the few I have seen who can be called a true servant of God in this present generation.  

How do you recognise a true servant of God? A genuine servant of God has genuine concern for others with radiating love regarding less of their religion, tribe etc. 

A true servant of God is always devoted to the true gospel of Christ, which is following Jesus. Can we truly say that our men of God operate in this realm today?

Primate Ayodele whom I have monitored closely for fifteen years, is an example of a genuine servant of God with genuine concern for others regardless of their faith. 

Primate Ayodele is a man who radiates Christ-like love and is constantly devoted to the true gospel, which is following Jesus through his selfless acts.

Primate Ayodele undoubtedly is the only servant of God alive in Nigeria today with his status who serves others with his resources without being biased. 

Over the years, I watched Primate Ayodele empower thousands of less privileged in different faiths with Cars, Motorbikes, Low-cost Housing units, Food items, Working tools and recently the construction of an ultra-modern Health Centre for the usage of the commoners, a highly commendable feat for others to emulate. 

Primate Ayodele has also constantly been a genuine voice in the prophetic field for the last thirty years when others constantly fumble.  

I know many preachers who started like Primate Ayodele but today have missed their tracks. Many preachers who were well patronised by the high and mighty before and during Primate Ayodele have no single connectivity to their route, areas where Primate Ayodele has constantly excelled. Many preachers today keep acquiring wealth with deceit, hoodwinking forgetting that everyone will account for his deeds on the last day.

Primate Ayodele indeed is a true yardstick for genuine servants of God, and he must be encouraged by all and sundry. 

The Government of the day must also imbibe this Christ-like attitude in solving the mirage of problems bedevilling the country. 

Primate Ayodele is indeed overdue for a National Award to further encourage him and serve as a pointer to others. 

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu must do the needful by encouraging this genuine servant of God now that he is still alive.
