FAREWELL TOLU MOGAJI
As humans, we naturally moan and groan the departure of Pastor Isaac Toluwase Mogaji to eternity with God for the relative shortness of his sojourn here on earth. However, longevity on earth may not be a true measure of divine success. For example, it seems Tolu had a fair deal in his life of over 60 years compared with that of Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola (55years); Matthew Henry (52 years) and our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ (33 years).
The eternal credit to Tolu is that it seems he had a divine glimpse into his purpose of life and the brevity of his sojourn here on earth. Evidently, Tolu was assiduous and titanic in his labour in the Lord’s vineyard. Besides, he was hospitable, disciplined, humble, accommodating and steadily Christ-focused. The life of Tolu therefore warns we the redeemed of the Lord that the length of time between our labour for Christ and our glorious crown in heaven may be short as shown in the lives of leaders of faith quoted above. Or what is the correlation between longevity of life of humans on earth and divine success?
Therefore, the life of Tolu is a warning to the redeemed to do the work of Christ while it is day for night may come anytime, preventing rendition of any procrastinated service to the Lord. Or make hay while the sun shines!
To Lady Evangelist Foluke Mogaji, the wife of Tolu, we commiserate with you for the sharp separation from your husband and companion and confidant for decades. Yet you have to continue to be good as you were to Tolu and Christ, no matter how repugnant or difficult to flesh and blood! Brace up for the new life and reality and challenges! To Tolu’s gospelers – Mathew, Mark, Luke and John – be manly, be tolerant and make the rest of the journey; heavy as it is, light for Foluke and the rest of Mogaji family. To Pastor Femi Mogaji and his siblings, let brotherly love continue. The peace of the Lord abide forever with you all.
