Your death is heartbreaking but we take solace in God

Dear Pst. Elijah,

How can I forget how God used you to teach me how to break spiritual walls?
How can I forget the encouragement you gave when the enemy struck me in a terrible accident?

How can I forget how you will always call early morning to pray for me on that sick bed until I recovered fully from that accident?

How can I forget how humble you were to park and wait patiently at the railway for me to walk up there so that you will give me a ride to DLine church and save my transport?

I was so excited to know you relocated to UK and I wished to see you again.
Words will fail me but your early departure wasn't fair enough.

Rest on Soldier.
We miss you here.

There are no words to describe the hurt and pain your death has caused to so many who knew you. It is heart wrenching to say the least..From Afss till date, you have always been that quiet and calm person who loved the Lord so deeply. I remember our last chat which was a very long time ago was when you said you wished a friend of ours would get to know Jesus and I should try to preach Christ to this friend. Never knew you would leave so soon. God indeed knows best. I pray that He console and keeps your family in Him. Rest well brother !!!

Pastor Elijah, my brother, my friend. It's really heavy to accept that you have gone to be with the Lord but our loss is heavens gain. As you sing sweetly with the angels and continue playing musical instruments there, may the Lord God continue to protect and preserve the ones you left behind. He will be the Father to your children and a defender to your wife. That is our consolation. Rest in peace till the last day when we will meet to part no more

Greetings everyone, my heart is full of Pain unspeakable, that you are no more here with Us, oh I Cry painfully deep down inside of me. PST Elijah is more of a Brother than a pastor to me. I can never forget all your words of Encouragement of Strength towards me, Can there be a word without a Direction the answer is No. PST Elijah, you where indeed the Mouth peace of Grace to this Generation, and to everyone that Encanterd you - Oh Life is Full of pictures of Realityes that we can Never Explain. Mrs Cynthia Elijah, the Lord is your strength, and your Peace in the Mist of Every pain and Storm, He will Surely make all Grace Available for you - Remain Graced!!!

Words have failed me this time. I am broken, shattered. Where do I start from?
We chatted on November 17, you said 'pray for me, I'll be fine '
November 19, you said I'm fine.
How come this sad news?
I even made a vow that when you recover, I'll testify.
Lord, you know why you didn't answer this prayer and I'm not questioning you.
  Another family unifier gone after Uncle Usen.
This pain is deep, our hearts our bleeding.
  Elijah,my dear cousin,you were one of a kind, sent to us from God, humble, highly talented,kind, God -lover to the core..
 SIMPLY IRREPLACEABLE.
 I will miss you,we will miss you sorely.
Keep resting,dear cousin.

Keep resting in the Lord God Almighty Pastor Elijah. I never saw this coming. Our loss here on earth, but Heavens gain. You are now a Saint, continue to pray for us all.

Rest in peace, Saint Elijah Attah.

This one deep........ Pee, hmmm..... When you arrived UK, we had a long talk and you said to me "madam the madam as you fondly called me, we have come oooo". So where are you now??????? This one hit me hard........ You taught me sacrifice, service, prayer and faith. I watched you live a sacrificial life, you were so humble and gentle, a friend and a brother, a goto person anytime no matter the time. Who will stand in the gap for us? I didn't know that the journey of 2years to the UK will be me writing this...... Pee, you didn't even speak to me....... Keep resting Pee, I will forever miss you sir.

Elijah Attah, affectionately known as “Attah Blo” among childhood friends, was a well-known personality among his high school friends. Among his circle of friends at Air Force Secondary School Port Harcourt, Nigeria (AFSS), his name resonated with admiration and respect not just within his immediate circle of friends, but across his entire set and school. In a close-knit group consisting of Ayoro, Bayo, Edwin, and Usang, Elijah stood out not just as a close and trusted friend but as an academic standout.

His intellectual prowess was evident to all who knew him. Elijah was the embodiment of intelligence, marked by a remarkable ability to absorb information effortlessly and articulate his thoughts with clarity and conviction. Despite his academic excellence, he carried himself with remarkable humility, which endeared him to everyone around him.

His friends cherished a photograph capturing their bond, a testament to the camaraderie that once bound them together. Although the origin of the nickname 'Attah Blo' remains a hazy memory for his friends, it was a moniker that stuck, becoming an endearing part of his identity.

Beyond his academic pursuits, Elijah possessed a unique talent that set him apart – he was an adept drummer. Music classes allowed him to showcase his rhythmic abilities, as he and his friends drummed in unison. Their shared passion for music was well known in and out with the classroom; they would sing and drum on their class desks, creating melodies that resonated through the corridors. His impact on his friends and the community echoes through cherished memories of shared laughter, academic pursuits, and rhythmic melodies that filled their days at AFSS.
Elijah Attah's legacy was not just in his academic achievements or musical talents but ultimately in his love and pursuit of God, and the way he effortlessly balanced intellect, humility, camaraderie, and Christianity.
Ex JAC 97 (high school alumni) misses you dearly… but we are assured of your blissful eternity till we meet again.

Adeu my good friend(Mr Elijah Attach)

Our Loss,Heavens Gain…It is well

I knew you for a very short time sir. You were so filled with love for God. I also had the privilege of playing along with you in the church band. It’s sad that you had to leave so soon but my consolation is that you were in Christ. Adieu Sir.

You were a true definition of a Christian, and heaven has gained a great one.
May your soul rest in perfect peace. Amen!

It's hard to believe you are no more, but I thank God you lived for Him. A man of prayer and of Faith you were.
Words fail me really.

Keep resting Pee Elijah!

Words really cant express my shock at your demise. Thank you for all your labour of love for the kingdom during the time you spent with us.
As you journey forth in God's glorious light, may God strengthen your entire family.

Pst Elijah, words fail me.You will be dearly missed.
Keep Resting in God's bossom.

Anyone that has encountered Pastor Elijah will surely know he/she has encountered a Christian.You exuded every virtues of a true Christian.One pastor that will always greet you with a smile.I actually learnt how to pray through your teachings and watching you lead prayers.I cry as I write this but the fact that you are resting in the Lord gives joy. Rest on Pastor Elijah.

I remember the first day I walked into Dominion City Woji. I had planned to only visit but then this fireful man of God ministered and I just knew I had to come back. Pastor Elijah, when you handled the mic that day, I bet you didn't know a life was about to change forever. You not only helped start that journey, you were a notable part of the early trainings that kept me. I still remember vividly asking a question when you were teaching me in foundation school. I had wanted to change branch but you encouraged me to stay (Still waters) & I am glad I did. .
  As I write this with tears in my eyes, I hope an angel will whisper to you in heaven that there's a soul grateful for the gift of you and that even though we never had a close relationship, I respected you immensely from afar. I wish I could roll over and realise it is just a really bad dream but alas, you have indeed gone to be with Jesus. Rest on great soldier. You have my salute

Its was heart breaking to receive the sad news of the demise of my co in-law. I have alsways known him as a perfect gentleman who always smile. However, we take solace in the resurrection hope when God will call, the dead will answer. As we await the resurrection morning our supplication is for God to grant us the fortitude to bear his demise.

I’m still in shock and completely heartbroken  I can’t imagine that I will be writing a tribute on your demise at this time of the year. Pe , you left too soon. Your demise has created a great vacuum that only God will fill. You remained strong till the very end. God took you in his time and we can’t question HIS Sovereignty.
Your memory will remain ever fresh .
May your gentle soul rest peacefully in the bosom of the Lord .

Oh no!!! This is so heartbreaking. Can't believe I am writing this. Pastor Elijah!! Such a gentleman, preacher, teacher etc. This one hit me hard o! May your soul rest in peace and our Lord comfort your family you left behind.

Hnmmm.. Keep resting Sir...This is really heart breaking

Pee as I fondly called you. Words fail me to say good night..... You really left a deep cut in my heart. I don't know what to say but your impact on my Christian walk is speaking. May you continue to rest in the blossom of the Lord. You will be solely missed

Pst Elijah,My foundation class DC Woji was remarkable and impactful because of your teachings,This is one hard pill to swallow, May God Console my big Aunt Ella and the kids,your family and the church at large.Rest on God's Soldier.

Kai, my heart aches!!!!. This is one death that is too painful. Go well, Pastor. Your teachings on prayers are still fresh in our hearts. We will forever miss you.
