BIOGRAPHY OF BROTHER SIMEON

OMHENMHEN INEGBEDION

Brother Simeon Omhenmhen Inegbedion was born to the family of Inegbedion of Idi-moli, Ugbegun on February 24th, 1936. He later migrated to Ugbegun-Ebudin due to the death of his father—Pa Ebhoje Inegbedion, a place where he finally settled down. While in Ebudin, late Brother Simeon Omhenmhen Inegbedion came in contact with the knowledge of truth when he received the good news from late Brother Benjamin Odin of Igbanke, Orhiomwon L.G.A. of Edo State . Among the things that touched his heart was the name of God, “Jehovah” which he found in his old dictionary, ‘Harold Dictionary’ which reads in part “’self existing’ to the name in which God was known to the Hebrews” and the meaning of the name was in line with what Brother Odin preached to him earlier in that day. Having found the truth, he got baptized on the 19th September, 1954 at the Circuit Assembly in Ora, Edo State. The entire children grew up to meet him as an elder. He got married in the year 1960 to Sister Esther Thaddeus Inonse of Akhiome-Emu in Esan South East L.G.A in Edo State. We will surely miss you till the resurrection hope, but we will always remember you for the good name you have made with our God JEHOVAH.

-Ecclesiastes 7:1.

He is survived by one wife, ten children, thirteen grand children, one Son-in-Law and three Daughters-in-Law namely:

Song 15

Life Without End—At Last!

(John 3:16)

1. Can you see, with your mind’s eye,

Peoples dwelling together?

Sorrow has passed. Peace at last!

Life without tears and pain.

(Chorus)

2. Man and beast, living in peace,

Cause no harm to each other.

Food will be there. All will share

In what our God provides.

(Chorus)

3. In those days old will grow young,

Flesh revived as in childhood.

Troubles are gone, from now on

No need to weep or fear.

(Chorus)

4. Paradise all will enjoy

As they sing of God’s glory.

Yes, ev’ry day we will say

To God our Maker, “Thanks!”

(CHORUS)

Sing out with joy of heart.

You too can have a part.

Live for the day when you’ll say:

‘Life without end—at last!’

Song 222

Keep Your Eyes on the Prize!

(24:18)

1. When eyes of blind ones see again

And ears of deaf ones hear again,

When deserts blossom as the rose

And from parched ground fresh water flows,

When lame ones leap just like the hart,

When loved ones never have to part

—Such blessed times you’ll realize

If you keep your eyes on the prize.

2. When tongues of mute ones speak again,

When old ones will be young again,

When earth will yield her rich increase

And all good things will never cease,

When songs of children fill the air,

When joy and peace are ev’rywhere,

Then, too, you’ll see the dead arise

If you keep your eyes on the prize.

3. When wolves and lambs will feed as one,

When bears and calves bask in the sun,

A mere young boy will lead them all,

And they will heed his childish call.

When tears belong to yesterday,

When fears and pain have passed away,

You’ll see how God these things supplies

If you keep your eyes on the prize.
