I spoke with the Rev. Dr. Clement Amadi yesterday. He said that the people were still in a buzz about our visit. He thanked me again said to be sure to convey the depth of his thanks to our church. He is a great man of God. He is a humble man of God. We are the richer for having the privilege of knowing him. He never seems to forget the main thing – that’s right, he keeps the main thing the main thing! He is always looking for a way to see the Name of Jesus glorified. Even at the Chieftancy ceremony he told me I would be called on to say something at the reception following. What should I say? He said clearly “Just make sure you talk about Jesus!”
Clement has become a good friend to me. I never tire of talking to him. He has much wisdom and is attempting to give himself away to his people that they may hear the Good News. He is a very well respected man and leader. Truly he has had all the jobs and done all the stuff. But now he has reached a point in his life that he can do what he chooses and what he chooses is Jesus! I have told him repeatedly that I pray a long life for him as long as Jesus tarries. Please join me in that prayer. This man has much more to give in the Kingdom. And one other thing: he has a sense of humor. He knows how to laugh at himself and not take himself too seriously. I know that I must have entertained him often as I put my foot in my mouth. I think he is going to be on the fun side of heaven too.
