That’s how I’m feeling about the life of a great friend, Sir Lucky Omoluwa. God wanted his angel back precisely one year ago today. For me, he was just the perfect example of someone who lived life in partnership with God. His conversations were in Heaven with God Himself, let me tell you. He accomplished some extraordinary feats as a top Nigerian businessman. Still, his legacy of LOVE, LOYALTY, AND CLOSENESS TO GOD is what I want to carry on with me. These verses sum up his life:
“Don’t lose your grip on Love and Loyalty. Tie them around your neck; carve their initials on your heart. Earn a reputation for living well in God’s eyes and the eyes of the people. Trust GOD from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for GOD’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track.” – Proverbs 3:3-6 MSG
One of the last conversations I had with him was about my sons having an open invitation to his home. I had left Nigeria to be with my daughters in the US. I was only visiting Nigeria when I had this very brief conversation with him. Here is this fierce and successful businessman taking time to talk to me and let me know my little sons were welcomed over to his home anytime. And he said it with such genuine love that I will never forget it.
And that love and loyalty are where I believe Papa God wants us all. Seeing Lucky have friendships that lasted over 30 years inspired me greatly. All the LOVE lessons God has been teaching me, he wants us applying them to all our significant relationships – going overboard in love, kindness, and loyalty, LUCKY OMOLUWA STYLE. These values are repaid by God Himself!!! His love and favor will follow us wherever we go. Wink! Wink!
We’re not the human race, we’re the human family! Let’s bring back LOVE, LOYALTY, and CLOSENESS TO GOD!!! Heehaw!!! REST IN PEACE, OUR GREAT FRIEND!!!
