Paul's Church family to glean from the most this most profound teacher and preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ bishop PA Brooks yes I want you to know he was a pure delight and joy to hear my pastor unravel the mysteries of the Word of God and then preach and deliver a fresh one work freshman Rhema word they left you mesmerized I realized that there will never be another Bishop PA Brooks he may be imitated but he could never be duplicated all of us here at new st. Paul are extremely proud of our pastor and rightfully so after all he was the jurisdictional prophet of Northeast Michigan he served nine per second of terms of the journal board and while on the general board he has served as general secretary I also served as second assistant residing bishop and then served as a first assistant presiding bishop of this grand old Church of God in Christ even though we were proud of all these accomplishments what we are most proud of was the fact that he was our pastor Amy and there's our passive his character was impeccable he held true to all the virtuous that God declared in his word that passive should be spirit-filled honest consumed with integrity and having a good rapport and reputation God gave us a pass a truly after his own heart our pastor Bishop Iain Brooks was not only a phenomenal gospel preacher and teacher as it has already been said but he was a prolific praiser if one was to trace his genealogy I would not be surprised if they found out that he was a direct descendant of the tribe of Judah the every time that I hear these phrases every day is a day of Thanksgiving and sighin is calling me to a higher place of praise I got go to God the spirit of my pastor begins to resonate all down in my spirit one of the most powerful virtues of my pastor that he was truly a man of faith he didn't just speak about faith he lived by faith he's faced and dealt with many challenges in particular health challenges but he never complained or use them as an excuse for not being able to praise teach and preach or worship God to the fullest he will tell you very radically that many are the afflictions of the righteous but my god delivers them out of them all my pastor identified with the Apostle Paul what he said I found myself in a quagmire for to live is Christ and to die is gain I know if I keep living I will keep preaching and teaching that Christ is the answer and if I died there is a crown of righteousness later for me this is a win-win situation for me but if I had my druthers oh praise the Lord I would much rather be in the presence of the Lord but to be absent from this all body is to be present with the Lord and the posture Paul goes on to say in second Timothy is for six to seven for I know I'm now ready to be offered and the time of my departure is at hand he said I have fought a good fight I have finished my course I have kept the faith and now I'm ready often when I go go to the family god bless you be of good cheer for the Lord wheel I said the Lord will see you through hallelujah [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] I want to give honor to my presiding bishop bishop J Bishop Charles Edward Blake lady Mae Blake mother Lewis our interim president Bishop Cedric Daniels Bishop J true sheared and certainly to my supervisor mother Norma Barea my father was a man who had many roles and responsibilities and wore many hats he was a psalmist a worshipper musician and astute businessman a husband and a father he was a leader as well as a servant and the list goes on however I have chosen three of his many hats to share with you today my pastor my father and my friend he was my pastor when I was born during the holy convocation in which Bishop Ciel Anderson senior was the prelate while my father was preaching a service an early message in that convocation Bishop Anderson whispered to the other bishops he must be really happy because he just had a new born baby girl as the first born I never had to join the church I never had to go through new member classes as the Shepherd of my soul he and my mother taught and guided me with instruction direction and stern correction he was my mentor he exemplified total concern for my personal march of faith he taught and lived a life holiness through his conversations his persona and his lifestyle the way he interacted with my mother I never heard him holler at my mother I never heard him holler and scream at us he placed me in the choir at an early age to encourage me to play the organ and assisted me in my spiritual growth as pastor he was strongly committed to and believed in the ordinances practices and principles of the Church of God and Christ which meant growing up with no parties no worldly music in the house no wearing pants which meant growing up no prom that I went to I couldn't be a cheerleader but we went to church all the time and in his words he said it was holiness without which no man would see the Lord as a father traditionally the father is to be the provider for the family my dad excelled in wearing this hat he insisted that my mother stay home to focus on being his wife an extraordinary mother of my brother and I although working two jobs carrying on the church he deemed family time is very important eating together insisting that we eat all of our vegetables before getting any rice pudding or banana pudding he gave us father/son time taking my brother to the White House and overseas daddy-daughter days and taking my mother on dates to Howard Johnsons it was my father who encouraged me to pursue my education at Oral Roberts University and Rhema Bible Training Center of which my broke both my brother and I attended as daddy when my father put on his daddy had he was a different person than the bishop or civic leader that many of you know I have you have been I want to say to my dad everything besides my relationship with God you gave me so much attention so much care so much concern advice love direction instruction funny moments together I remember when you taught me how to ride a bike and you held onto the back of it and told me to pedal as fast as I could and I did faster and faster and faster confident that you were on the back of the bike and then I looked back and you had let me go and I was riding on my own I remember when you taught me to color inside the lines by outlining the picture first and then coloring lightly on the inside I remember you started a hobby of collecting stamps and you said this would be our hobby together I remember when I was about four or five and for the first time I heard secular music when he was changing the channel in the car as we were driving and I started patting my foot and turning my head to it kind of moving and my dad looked at me with disdain so I stopped immediately I remember when my mom was in the hospital after giving birth to my brother and you cooked the egg for me for breakfast and I was waiting in the bathroom for you to come in and wash me up like my mom always did you came in the bathroom you were shocked that I hadn't got dressed and you refused to dress me and you told me just put my clothes on and let's go I remember being in the car with you when we pulled up to the state temple when Bishop CJ Johnson was the bishop and at that time state mother Hopkins was the state supervisor and I believe it was mother Hopkins that was coming out and we rolled up my dad rode down the window to speak to her and he said hey mother and I said daddy that's not your mother and he scolded me he told me to sit down I remember when you called that man to come get the car my mother was in the car and I knew it wasn't my daddy and so I stared at him real mean the whole time he the car my mother tried to get me to sit down but I wouldn't because I knew he wasn't my daddy I remember at the church on grabber in Kentucky I was sitting sorta in the back talking with the young people during the service and you came out of the pulpit out of your office and opened up the door and beckoned for me to come there and when I did you close the door and slap me in the face and told me to stop talking and push me back out of the office I was so embarrassed but I learned the lesson now as an adult you've become my best friend as my friend he wore this hat with great tenacity offering me wise counsel and sound advice I could talk to him about almost anything he listened patiently unless I disagree with him and then he corrected me and redirected my thoughts and ideas he warned me of danger at any time as an adult someone asked me to come speak at their church I would go to him for his opinion and approval and if he got cited and I knew that that meant no so I responded that's okay dad and he'd say all right her friends work together in our home and our church in the community in the National I looked out for my dad he looked out for me we looked out for my mother I'm so grateful and honored to be the daughter of this icon the spiritual general of this error of Bishop PA Brooks talked to me about his conversations that he had with Bishop Jo Patterson's senior with Bishop FD Washington and I always sat down with them and had lunch and dinner whoever and however I am today I owe it all to God allowing me to have been parented by my mother and my father the honor of my life has been to sit at the feet of my father and to serve my father with every bit of life strength that I had within me as I could clue today on February the 9th 2010 the Lord moved upon me and blessed me to give my damn my kidney on April the 9th 2020 my dad gave me and my brother his humble caring sensitive compassionate understanding heart a heart for souls a heart for the downtrodden a heart for the disenfranchised a heart for the impoverished a heart for the disadvantaged the castaways a heart for the sheep the Millennials the children a heart to continue with as much as I gave to him in life I want to say today although I am saddened I am hurt I felt pain that where I've never felt pain before in all the lives of the 40 years that I've been in ministry I've comforted the grieved but I've never felt the pain that I have felt since April the 9th 2020 half of my life half of my heart is gone I will never ever be the same without my daddy if you don't understand my tears if you don't understand my sorrow then you don't understand what it means to be a daddy's girl the day I have a heart to continue with as much as I gave to him in life the legacy of Bishop Phillip Aquila the Eagle Brooks will never die as long as I live as long as I breathe as long as my brother lives and my family we will carry the torch the love of my life bishop PA Brooks Eddie I love you and I look forward to seeing you real soon in heaven Saints pray for me somebody said praise the Lord somebody say praise the Lord again giving honor to bishop daniels and also our presiding bishop bishop Charles Edward Blake all of the bishops that are on the platform thank you all for coming and sharing with us as we see how our day at off our day at first before I say anything I want to acknowledge my mother madam Doris Brooks the angel of the house they were team they were a team from beginning to end they were a team and you see this stained glass window here behind me Bishop had that put in and if you look it is inscribed with my mother and his name on it Bishop loved this church and he loved the people of God he loved ministry he loved the community and we shared dad with you all many times we went without but it was okay because he raised us to do ministry with him and to care about the people of God and so we stand here today to pay honor to my father great man of God great leader a great example can I get a witness in here bishop rooks was a wonderful example if it where you would go people would honor him because of the example that he set before you and you may make some mistakes and find yourself off the trail but you always had that right before you as an example to get you back on track a man and so in closing I want to say that we are sorry sorrowful and we mourn the loss of our father we don't want to let him go God knows best there's no more pain there's no more suffering but what he taught me was that we are living to live again we are living this life to live again and if you know the Lord we're gonna see him again so we don't mourn like the world this is a celebration we are celebrating the life and legacy of a man of God that loved the Lord and served the Lord with gladness with every breath in his body so we are as his family and as the church family we are sorrowful that we're not going to see him again on this side but what he taught me and I'm just I just believed the word I'm gonna see my daddy again can I get a witness in here are you ready to see bishop again we gotta see him again in glory so I just want to sing this little song I'm gonna take my seat one glad morning when this life is over [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] by

space and that problem is you run out of time and so we're we're faced with that challenge on today and I have the in embryos TAS placing unmeasured greatness into a measure place so you pray for your

Paul Church of God in Christ 45 years ago the late Presiding Bishop Daniel Patterson brought him before the General Assembly but to be consecrated as the prelate of the mother jurisdiction of Bishop Northeast diocese and then 36 years ago the General Assembly selected this prelate as an apostolic member of the general Board of twelve and eleven years ago our current Presiding Bishop Charles Blake requested his election by the General Assembly as the first assistant presiding bishop of the greatest church in the world and he has umbly and boldly answered each call at each level and prayed a prayer at each assignment of Thanksgiving upon combing the records of our great church we discovered that no man in this state has served as long as a jurisdictional mission we discovered that no man living or dead has served so long on the noble General Board of our international ministry and we've also discovered that not only as he served so long but more importantly he has served so well we must offer our thanks giving on a personal note about 16 and a half years ago when I was consecrated as a jurisdictional Bishop Bishop Brooks joined the late Bishop GE Patterson in laying on of Episcopal hands later on Bishop Brooks dedicated our new church facility in Kansas City and he told me that at every single day of his ministry he worked as diligently as he did the first day of every assignment and we are witnesses that for every assignment and every promotion and every elevation it has been Laureus productive and distinguished a tribute to the one and only Bishop Piedras from Mandela in South Africa to the White House as will men's Detroit he's been there from Mayor Coleman in the Motor City to this sprawling anchor congregation new st.

Brooks has been a servant leader all his life young Lee served the general borders first ever chief as Italy Lynn as Secretary of the General Board after being elected as a member in 1984 becoming one of the longest serving general board members today I began my service on digital board in 1988 he was a friend and colleague from that time till our last gathering in Atlanta Georgia in February of this year there was never time and I showed up in the city he was not faithfully serving on his clothes and when he wasn't feeling well in his body he didn't complain never gave excuses he would simply say reporting for duty mr. president and he would be present and accounted for leading the people of God in worship and he worshiped God with a passion he was a worshipper his life was worship personified because he understood that worship is more than a Sunday morning engagement he understood that worship is a lifestyle and because he lived this concept he would direct and could direct an audience of 20,000 as well as an audience of 20 in worship we all recall with warm hearts those services that are holy convocations when the power of God would fall each time he led the people in worship he was serious about the work of God he desired for the church and the people of God to have the best and shadows the Saints to give themselves to the service of God he led by example mr. Brooks was a man that lived a holy life that life was pleasing in the sight of God he was a sage of wisdom to countless pastors and young bishops he assisted me in conducting the Bishop's Academy making sure that each class of Bishops understood their responsibilities to the church and to the people of God under their care but I was elected to serve as presiding bishop in 2007 one of our first responsibilities was to select the individual who would serve as my first assistant presiding bishop the one who would serve in my stead should I become unavailable to do so and without a second thought I selected Bishop Brooks to serve by my side he is proven to be a faithful supporter to my leadership and administration without wavering both in and out of my presence the eloquent manner of introduction each time it was my responsibility to offer remarks or to preach the National gatherings always left the audience mesmerized by his articulation masterful navigation through layman's language mr. Brooks was a family man and the love and care he displayed for his wife madam Darsh Brooks his children faith Wilson Phillip Brooks is to be commended and modeled as the template by which one who serves the flock of God should serve his family he loved cared for and provided for his family well we as the body of believers have suffered a great loss but heaven has received a well serving soldier he's rejoicing in the presence of God with no more pain no more suffering and continually singing God's praises please know that the Brooks family st. Paul Church the first jurisdiction of Northeast Michigan will continue to be in my heart and my prayers may God bless you and I love you all in the name of Jesus come on let's praise God for our leader Azadi Bishop Charles Edward plate we're celebrating a giant please Bishop Daniels allow me to tell two things about this great man and his impact life started pastor in a church and I was appointed to a church in Island Park Michigan and church had grown kind of rapidly and so I could not secure a loan to buy the church right down the street man said that we were a flukes and they would not give us alone I came and talked to Bishop Brooks told him what I was trying to do he said to me he said I'll back you up with my jurisdiction I believe in your ministry God made it so that I didn't have to use him to get the loan but he sat on the board and he told them I'd be all right and that's how I got my loan to get the church right down the street it's last time and he Bishop Brooks he had a sense of humor and so when I was up for Bishop he came and he took all of the ballots and never looked at me he never said anything to me there were other bishops there and so when they walked out on the platform to announce who was the new bishop I was looking at all of them to get a signal nobody looked at me and I saw the Lord I don't lost this election and later he told me I couldn't tell you anything because I had to check with the presiding bishop that's the kind of man he was he was a leadership man he was a great preacher many of us have tried to imitate him preaching but we've all failed he was a tremendous Church man and he will never be forgotten madam Brooks you have our sincere prayers and support elder Philip you have our prayers my sister of course sister faith I understand I just lost my mother and I'll tell people I'm a professional I know what to say at times like these but when it's you your profession goes out the window you've got to have a relationship with the Lord to make it through these difficult times and so you all have my sincere prayers our eulogists yields from Milwaukee Wisconsin he began preaching at a very early age he is a well learned man he is tremendously successful and a just a wise individual time and time again God has shown his approval upon his life he is indeed a living miracle he passes one of the great

think there's approximately 14 pastors that have had to appoint over the past few months and as churches and congregations and families are impacted by a situation circumstance that is currently going

Bishop Brooks Bishop Brooks has taken his special time and energy to transfer love knowledge and information and I want to say to her from those of us that have experienced she and elder Phillip those of us that have experienced the transition of your parent I want you to know that Isaiah 41 verse 10 is right the Lord says I will help you I will strengthen you I will uphold you with my right hand and God will do just that there's no time to hold your head down after a while lift up your head to the heel from which come into your help and then pick up the mantle and go forward in the name of the Lord I want to extend to now the Phillip Brooks the third my sincere appreciation and thanks I appreciate and thank the Lord for the conversations and the opportunities that we have had to share and I have a somewhat teased him I won't go into detail but on Memorial Day he sent me or thereabout he sent me a picture of where he was barbecuing and I just had to make sure that he understood very clearly he knows not what he's doing he is not a good barbecue I put 29 in green in my recipe and we went back and forth and I want to express to him he has shared with me the work that he has done here at the church and his involvement in engagement you are on an and privilege sir to have a name of distinction to have a name of honor and there's no one else that can carry that name Phillip a Brooks because your father placed that name and mom place that name on you may the Lord's blessing be with you to the Brooks family to the st. Paul new st. Paul Tabernacle Church of God in Christ Bishop would have me to say to you the greatest church anywhere new st. Paul Tabernacle to the historic firsts Northeast Michigan jurisdiction finest pastors and supervisors a mother Burrell we praise God for one of our Saints at 96 years strong we praise God for mother supervise the Boggan and all of our supervisors that are present to our supervisor general supervisor mother Barbara McClure Lewis and mother Rivers America and to each of you my brothers and sisters I greet you in the matchless and wonderful name of our Lord for those of you who are not familiar with me let me say that I'm not a long-winded preacher and of course if you take a nap I'll be gone by the time you wake up I understand that the police escorts are waiting and I will abbreviate the things that I wish to say but Bishop Brooks served it so wonderfully the Church of God in Christ he was elevated from and his humble beginnings in Chicago to here in Detroit and then every area of ministry he excelled and he demonstrated and displayed an enormous of capacity and ability to display ministering excellence there's a small group of individuals that can say that they served the church as general board members Bishop Brooks is honored to be among that group there's a larger group that can say they've served the church as jurisdictional bishops bishop brooks is distinguished to serve in that group there's an even smaller group on the general board that has served the secretariat of the church bishop brooks along with historic other individuals is honored to be among that group and even a narrower group of individuals that have served as second assistant and then an even smaller group as first assistant all of those are places and spaces that your pastor your father your bishop your leader has served with excellence so we are here today to say well done my good and faithful servant you've been faithful over a few things now God have made you ruler I want to say to you that they just remove us patches from my eyes I had eye surgery and they just removed them yesterday and then they gave me some extra drops so that my eyes were somewhat challenged and dilated and they gave me some undying medicine and because of that Bishop Shelby is going to aid me in reading just a portion of Scripture and if you will give me five kojic minutes I will share a word from the Lord and take my seat Bishop Bishop Shelby let us hear the word of the Lord that is recorded by Paul to the church at Philippi at chapter 2 verses 9 through 11 the word of the Lord [Music] is Lord to the glory of God the Father my brothers and my sisters if we can have a discussion just for a few fleeting moments I would like to suggest to you from the thought what's in a name what's in a name life is filled with swift transition not on earth unload tensed and build your hopes on things eternal and holder to God's unchanging hand I want to suggest to you that often that there are windows times and spaces were certain dedications and memorials have been distinguished and set aside by the utilization of a name there are places that we know and dates that we reflect because solely they've been attached to a name they're places that we may call the white house by name there are months that we refer to of our births and anniversaries and moments of special celebration by name January February all the way through December by name there are places where we live and we receive mail and other kinds of things because they have been designated by a name in fact when individuals make reference to you they make reference because some we're along your earthly pilgrimage you have been given a name I want to suggest to you that sometimes names can be complimentary and sometimes names can be critical they're balls that have been taught early in life that sticks and stones may break my bones but your names and words will never hurt me names can be used to symbolize and celebrate the accomplishments that you have made degrees come with names cars comes with name food comes with name everything that you can imagine is attached to a name the people have all understood that and so when they would receive a child and receive a gift they would name that person prophetically for what they believed that person to accomplish you know they Justin called everybody boo boo into to it and all of the rest of it a name had a significance and I want you to know that even from the beginning of beginnings Genesis chapter a hallelujah for the Bible says that after the fair child of Adam and Eve was born from that moment people began to call on the name your somebody knows the book the name of the Lord throughout the pages of the Holy Writ we find the utilization and usage of names names symbolize liberty and freedom names are symbolized bundage and even when there was a move of God when God did something special in a place they gave that place a nanny so that of us would remember this is the place where God move this is the place where God delivered and I just want to suggest to you in the last two-and-a-half minutes of my discourse I want to say to you that Bishop Brooks understood a name and even though his name Philip Aquila Brooks symbolizes horses Eagles and courage I want you to know that he preached a name above his name I want you to understand that through the pages of history please be seated it's rude to stand when somebody's talking I just need just a few more minutes well that we can clearly find in the scripture where a bishop understood that there was a name and down through the telescope of time there were names of individuals that made great contributions I want you to remember that there were names of secular people Plato in a Aristotle you reproduce and Socrates they all had a name and then there was over Diane's F anion Zachariah and Malachi oh they all had a name but over in the ghetto of Bethlehem of Judea the Bible says and she shall bring forth a son and thou shalt call his name Jesus for he shall save his people from their sin that name Jesus we call on that name Bishop called on that name the Angels called on that name and I just want you to know that the other day hallelujah Jesus called his name and he called him and said come on home well I want you to know that Jesus hallelujah will call your name and I don't want you to get discouraged hallelujah Jesus his name is Philip Aquila Brooks but when the roll is called and the names are given I want you to know if they get to Philip and they don't call that name Bishop Brooks will not be discouraged if they get to Aquila and they don't call that name Bishop will not be discouraged if they get to the name Brooks and his name is not tall he will not get discouraged he'll just wait till they get down to the esses and when they say Simon well done he's gonna get up [Music] [Applause] when he calls me I will listen elude high relie as the funeral directors are coming hallelujah come on say hallelujah [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music]
