Ebenezer Obey Reveals What Doctors Told Him About His Son 

 

Renowned music icon, Evang. Ebenezer Obey-Fabiyi has revealed how doctors called to inform him that his son Olayinka had less than six months to live shortly before he died.

He probably died of alcoholism related disease, which his father said he had tried to help him to drop the bad habit to no avail.

He expressed sadness over the death of his son, saying that he tried all he could, as a father, to help fight against his weakness, but to no avail.

“l went back to the Holy Spirit to teach me what to do and the result of my communication with the Holy Spirit is the launching of this ministry.

“I have received several condolence messages from all and sundry. l appreciate and thank you all for your love and concern,” he said.

 

 

 

 

 

This is contained in a statement signed by the General Manager of his music group, Mr Tunji Odunmbaku, which was made available to newsmen on Tuesday in Ibadan.

Obey-Fabiyi had launched the ministry as part of his efforts to join forces in the fight against alcoholism and drug addiction among younger generation in Nigeria and in Diaspora.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He said that the newly launched ministry was aside his popular Decross Gospel Mission and Ebenezer Obey Evangelistic Ministry.

He said the new ministry was launched in UK to turn pains of his son’s death into a solution ministry for parents and families of youths passing through the same experience.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The renowned musician said that the effort was to “massively enlighten and educate youths on the danger of alcoholism as well as drug addiction”.

He said that FADAM would also become an avenue to assist parents as well as families of alcoholic and drug-addicted youths.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

According to him, it will allow them to overcome the challenges and make their children better citizens of society.

Obey-Fabiyi, then thanked his late son’s friends for their efforts and supports, appreciating Shina, his eldest son, for coordinating all his younger ones for extra and special care for Yinka till the end.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He also thanked the pastors, elders and the entire Decross Family for everything.

“Once again, I appreciate all condolences, but let us rather turn further condolences to prayer support of this new ministry to help those who are in pain of alcoholism and drug addiction.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Job 22:21 says ‘Acquaint now thyself with God, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.’ Get out of Alcoholism, Get out of Drugs. Jesus Loves you,” the musician said.

Obey-Fabiyi assured fans and music lovers that the incident, though sad, would not in any way affect all his pending performance engagements.
