Dear Pastor T,
I have gone through several emotions in the last few days since your passing into glory; hurt, anger, sadness and a host of others. It still hurts but I take comfort in God’s word, that’s what you will expect us to do. You have taught us the undiluted word of God. You have been a blessing to me and my entire family. My children in their young age have benefitted from your ministry and love you dearly. My daughter at the age of five heard you preach on ‘Anointing of Ease’ the sermon was so relevant and simple that a few days later she laid hands on her younger brother declaring the anointing of ease from his discomfort, just because she heard you preach it in church. Pastor T, you impacted a generation
I am quoting an excerpt from the vision you shared with us at one of the last workers meeting you attended;
“The church I see is an Apostolic Governing Centre – a church that accepts spiritual responsibility for its community, society and nation. It’s a church that settles social and political issues in prayer; and is not afraid to speak out boldly against social ills and injustices. The church I see is one of tremendous influence, whose leaders are regularly consulted by government on issues of policy before major decisions are made.
The church I see is a church of excellence, radiating the beauty and glory of God in the physical as well as the spiritual. It’s a church whose facilities are resplendent and breath-taking – reflecting the beauty of the very heaven she represents.
The church I see is a church on the cutting edge, taking full advantage of technology and blazing new trails for the secular world to tread in. It’s a church that utilises every possible means to proclaim the saving message of the gospel to the ends of the earth.”
Pastor Tayo, this is the church God has built through you, and we will keep the work going, we are going forward, no going back, no looking back and no turning back.
Like my dear friend said about you ‘we had an angel in our midst and we didn’t even know it’
Goodnight Pastor T, you will forever be in our hearts.
