Most of us know him, Joshua Adah, he was one of the stars of  Mo'Abudu's Naija Diamonds season 2 in 2012 and also a Missionary in Taraba State. Last week, 23rd January, 2015 the 36year old father of two was killed by Fulani herdsmen on his way back to his mission Station in Bantaje in Jalingo.

Joshua Adah dedicated his life to serving God and Humanity in Taraba state. After his service year in 2002, he remained in Taraba providing both clothing, shelter and food for the disadvantaged communities. Adah built a school which offers free education and takes about 400 pupils in Taraba state. He left a wife and two beautiful girls behind.

These are pictures of some of Joshua's good work in the communities where he served.





Joshua was indeed a hero. A hero to the people of Taraba and Nigeria. May His soul Rest In Peace.

Below is a Tribute from his Friend
A history of Joshua Adah's repentance and choice to work as a rural pastor by his brother Otto Paul Adah
HE DIED FOR A CAUSE, MANY OF US ARE PRACTICALLY SO ASHAMED TO LIVE FOR...
He became the champion of heaven the moment he answered the call of the chosen few...He walked the path of the early apostles to exit like many of them...His life was a sacrifice, his death a divine deal...

It was a wrong move for the Devil, the day the Barbaric fulani herds men slaughtered Joshua Adah in a bid to silence the messenger, but unfortunately for them the message lives on, and Joshua will continue to encourage, challenge and win more souls even in death.

Joshua Okpanachi Adah hails from a little village called Ofugo, Kogi State. He grew up in a comfortable, warm hearted home. He had virtually all that he needed, all the love, attention, he could get. But he misconstrued the true value of life growing up. In his words I quote,
"my thought life became very perverted at some point because of my immediate soco-economic milieu, the influence of narcotics and peer pressure was so strong that I waxed strong in negativity...it was during one of my evil schemes that I got a dramatic encounter with a man I had always heard about ( Jesus Christ) ....on the 26th of November, 2ooo on a Bed owned by one of my various girl friends, this time a Muslim...He walked in, and simply walked in, thank you Jesus "

From the start Joshua has always been a bone of contention; so much that Hell madly wants him and Heaven will not likewise ignore.
Having gone through the experiences of both sides of life, Joshua suddenly eschews worldliness and beckons on every youth to indulge the life of Christ. Joshua wrote,
"it is neither too timely or too late for God to salvage anyone and renew the person....if God could call me at the age of 25, He can also use a far much younger person too"
For more than a decade Joshua and Family (wife and children) worked as missionaries among the Koma people in jalingo of Tarawa state, in a village called murkuni...Though he had sparing idea about village life, Joshua was domesticated to Murkuni rural life...where he extended a charity hand of medication, clothing, food, education, opening schools and establishing an embassy of God's kingdom through his missions "the way makers"...paving a way for the heathen to see the light in the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. He stood out a General who never forgot the Christed Soldier's creed of standing for the truth and divine light of his conscience, Joshua ones stated,
"An absolute commitment calls for the extreme and only the committed hearts answer this call..."

On the this day, Jan 29th 2015 Joshua Okpanachi Adah's body is laid to rest on his mission field as he has always affirmed, "it's the life we'v chosen...it's what we've signed up for...as missionaries when we die in the field, they burry us in the field..."

Joshua Adah died for the gospel ...yes! But his death is not a challenge that we must all face the martyrs dearth...His death challenges us to at least boldly live for it...unashamedly stand for it...because some others are dying for it every day!

Good morning Sir! Now you can open your eyes for the first time to see life in it's full frame...you are SIR, YES
HOME my brother!SIR!!!!!!
