March 12, 1955- August 29, 2005
Prophet Vinson Eugene Smith was born March 12, 1955
to Rev Albert and Aileen Smith. He is third of four
sons. Prophet was a nineteen seventy three
graduate of A L Brown High School, Kannapolis, NC.
He served as Vice president of AL Brown, played
football and basketball. He was raised in Fire
Baptize Holiness Church.
He was married to Janet Stanback Smith.
They have two children, Roshunda and Vinson Smith Jr. (VJ);
two grandchildren, Cinsere (CJ) and Anygha Allison.
In
1985 Prophet and Missy Jane join United Baptize
Church under the leadership of Rev. John E. Jones.
Prophet was ordained as a deacon. He was later
ordained to preach and teach the word of God.
Prophet and his family joined Blessed Assurance
Church under the leadership of Apostle David and Dr.
Linda Smith.
The
Lord used Prophet to help bring many souls to repent
and be saved.
He
was superintendent of the Sunday school department,
started the street ministry, noonday prayer,
Wednesday night prayer, Friday night bible study,
and Passover. Prophet felt like Sunday School was
the heart of the church. The building fund was one
very close to his heart also. And anything else his
hands could find to do.
Prophet was a great husband, and an excellent father,
the world’s best papa; best of all, a great servant
for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Prophet received his calling from Jeremiah 1:5
"Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and
before thou came forth out of the womb I sanctified
thee, and I ordained thee a Prophet unto the
nations."
He
was favored by the Almighty and he used his favor to
instruct others on how to be better servants; how to
live Holy; how to live right. All those who
were blessed to know this great man of God, I am
sure he poured something into their lives.
He admonished the people of God not to be a leaky
vessels, and to hold on to the horns of the alter.
Some of Prophet's
Favorite sayings are:
"Holiness is Right"
“God will make you make it”
“You by yourself can not, God by himself will not,
but you and God together!!!!!”
"Well Glory!!!!"
“I
feel what I feel”
"You
should know the truth and the truth will make you
MAD"
"Heaven won't be heaven until I get there"
Prophet, even
with his body being afflicted, all he wanted was to
make it to that pulpit so that he could teach and
preach the word. Prophet wanted to get us where
God wanted us to be. He wanted us all to have that
love relationship with the Lord,
and he was willing to suffer.
Prophet said God has called us to be a people for
His Name, a people for His Praise and a people for
His glory.
We
all miss and love Prophet
Blessing in Yeshua’s Name
Jesus Our Messiah
