LETTER TO PASTOR ADEJARE ADEBOYE
LETTER TO PASTOR ADEJARE ADEBOYE

Adejare Enouch Adeboye
Permit me to call you by your name
From grace to grace is the chorus on my lips
In the mire of your living, your mind got framed
As if somebody taught you fame
Your desire to be lettered fell their deaf ears
Education was expensive, Ignorance is cheap
Don’t you get the gist?
Father reacted, mother rebuked
Quickly, you created a template to force them out of will
Your decision to go hunger strike was your driven force
In thin and thick you scale-through the elementary
‘’ENOUGH IS ENOUGH FOR ACADEMY’’
That was your father response
You have tasted the light
You cherish the light from the turnel
Having tasted from the cup of knowledge
No doubt you had seen beyond normal
And you have taste for being extraordinary
You broke the chain of illiteracy
Because you have seen the sun from afar
Shouldering the bright stars
Accompanied with rainbow of many colour
After many years, your vision came animate
The rainbow appeared
You stood like a man of influence
And in the class of destinies
Mathematics became your language
And mathematically the stars begins the journey
Yet you still have the smell of poverty
You relocated your way for better opportunity
While you were solving the equation
You were interrupted by the gospel truth
Calculating the lies of the herbalist
Death swept the son of the death away
You quickly calculated the risk of being a victim
Jesus was brought to you
At first, you felt reluctant
You were riding on the horse of success
You humbly dove your hat
Under the leadership of Baba Akindayomi
With your status as a LECTURER
You stoop to serve as interpreter to that God’s general, Prophet Akindayomi
The mantle of power passed on to you
The carcass leaves made some noise
Snake and scorpion tried their stings and bites
The sheep is sent into the wolves
No cutlass, gun, arrow but word
You sailed through the stormy sea
Today we all can see
I tried to check your shoulder
But I notice no shoulder pad for title
Phd, most Reverend, Evangelist, the most senior, Apostle,JP etc
All was swept away from the look of your Jacket
Simply Pastor E.A Adeboye
With your status, you need a lot of prefix
With all the spiritual gift,you need a lot of suffix
Yet you claim nothing to yourself
Some noise makers call you a teacher
Yes, you are
They say you are not a prophet
Yes, you are
Baba I am waiting for your response
But the testimonies of your congregant is your response
What a spiritual mathematician
Baba who is crying for 2bedroom flat
Just to accommodate Leke and siblings
Now live in a city
Let somebody shout Hallelujah
This is your slogan and it goes viral
We never knew God is our daddy
Until Pastor E.A Adeboye start calling God MY DADDY
Let somebody shout Hallelujah is a niche
And that is what we know of baba E.A Adeboye
This is my letter to one of the God's General, Pastor ENOCH ADEJARE ADEBOUE
