1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 2 Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words. 3 Then I went down to the potter’s house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. 4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. 5 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.
1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: 2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. 3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: 4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man. 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Jemima James Irving was born at home on December 31, 1929 in Stanmore Hill, Saint Elizabeth, Jamaica, WI, to Era Williams and Stanley James. She was affectionately known as “Daisy”. She was the second of the three siblings; two preceded her in death. She departed this life on this side on May 17, 2023 at 4:14 a.m. at the age of 93, with her daughter holding her hands while talking and humming her favorite song, “Amazing Grace” as she slept away to Glory.
She accepted Christ at an early age. She moved to Kingston after the passing of her mother to start a life for herself. She was the mother of three children: Leonie, Norman and Collin. One thing that was in her every day life is the greatness of God.
In 1966, she migrated to the United States to join her sister, Eunice Williams in search of a better life for her and her children and made Cincinnati, Ohio her home. In 1969, she married George Irving. George Irving passed away in 1986.
Jemima Irving was a genuinely kindhearted woman with the heart of a missionary. Her work for the Lord exceeded the walls of the church and crossed denominational lines. During the 10 years she was a member of Southern Baptist Church, she was a part of a prayer band that went from house to house praying in the homes of congregants. She also held prayer services in her own home. Many people were saved and gave their lives to the Lord in these Spirit-filled prayer meetings.
In addition, she fed the hungry, took in strangers. As a dedicated woman of prayer, Mother Irving’s hunger and thirst for God grew and it guided her path where she was led to other ministries for spiritual growth and development. After years under an Apostolic ministry, she was ordained under Pastor Robert Knight of Christ Memorial AOH and became a licensed Evangelist. She gained a greater foundation in her calling. A greater thirst led her to join the Tree of Life Church where she is currently a member. Under that ministry she was further inspired and under girded in the Word of God.
Evangelist Irving was a progressive woman in both natural and spiritual things. She did not allow herself to become complacent, always seeking for more.
On September 27, 2008, at the age of 80, she married Benjamin Grant in a lavish wedding, hosted by the Reynolds family.
She was a world traveler and knew no strangers. She was altogether regal and always said she was a “child of the king”, so she got to be a princess naturally.
She was employed at Good Samaritan Hospital and various homes as a domestic. She finally retired from Mercer and Abby Reynolds after 30 plus years of service, where she was regarded and treated as family.
Visitation will be held on Saturday, June 10, 2023 from 10:00 AM until 11:00 AM at the Tree of Life Church, 6477 Cooper Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45242. The Funeral Service will immediately follow at 11:00 AM.
20 Therefore thus saith the Lord God unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle. 21 Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad; 22 Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle. 23 And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. 24 And I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the Lord have spoken it. 25 And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods. 26 And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing. 27 And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the Lord, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them. 28 And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make them afraid. 29 And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more. 30 Thus shall they know that I the Lord their God am with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord God. 31 And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord God.
