Tribute To The Remarkable Life of Pastor Isaac Toluwase EKUNDAYO Mogaji: Short but meaningful
In a world where greatness is usually measured by human impact, influence, and greatness, Tolu stood out as an extraordinary person whose life was a testament to the power of selflessness, dedication, service, and greatness.
Dear Tolu, Your departure is a colossal loss to our family (THE MOGAJI DYNASTY), Christ Apostolic Church, and everyone who had the privilege of meeting you while you were on this terrestrial shore. However, your memory will linger in time as undoubtedly a man of substance and virtues, with a pure heart filled with love for God and mankind. You were simply remarkable and unforgettable.
From an early age, you displayed a remarkable sense of responsibility and a deep desire to make a difference among your peers, and you shone like a million stars. You had a very clear sense of direction and unwavering determination to be an astute leader. Through the grace of God, you acquired the keys required to unlock the doors of great opportunities and influence. Your impact in every community where you were remains indelible.
My relationship with you began in the late 60s at Christ Apostolic Church Agbokojo Ibadan, Nigeria where I was a member of the Choir and a children's teacher while you were in the children's church. This was long before I met and got married to your eldest sister, Christie. You later served as a choir member under my leadership as Music Director for decades, you were the pioneer Choirmaster for CAC Anosike Region (Europe) and also the Choirmaster for the Anosike Pastors Choir till your demise.
No doubt, you inspired a generation of music ministers who are now making positive impacts across the globe. Your unwavering commitment to quality and standard is unparalleled. You were a philanthropist who was always ready to spend and be spent for any cause in which you believed, especially in the house of the Lord. Your unwavering dedication to serving humanity through your pet project, the Narrow-gate ministry is a clear testament to this, from providing financial assistance to families and others, to supporting educational initiatives, you made a significant impact on the lives of many.
You were a pacesetter of high repute, a profound musician, a truthful finance manager, a noble achiever, a dependable family man, and a true minister of God. You were a man of high integrity, humble but bold, diligent, reasonable, pragmatic, and ready to serve in any capacity as long as it glorified the Lord. Tolu, I am glad that you served the Lord to the very end and died at your post. Your life will remain an inspiration to many.
It was quite difficult for me to write this tribute but I had to do it anyway not only because of the value you added to people and the family, but also because I know that it will encourage many. We honor God for your highly remarkable life full of grace, compassion, resilience, and service. I wipe my tears, lift my chin, hold my shoulders high, and take comfort in the fulfilled life you lived.
Sleep on, my darling Tolu, my dear brother beyond an in-law.
