Huuuuummmm! It's very difficult for me to put up this message for the passage of my dear Egbon

My dear Late Egbon;, you were one of God Sent to this world, your attendant presences was a great impact on the face of sand of the earth.

You came to this world, you walked upon the sand of time, you conquered the world, thank you for the little impact you played in my life. You were good, great and kind.

You shall forever be remembered and cherished. You will remain ๐Ÿ’ฏ loved in my heart.

May Your departed soul rest in perfect peace till the morning of resurrection. Good Night Egbon Mi.

TRIBUTE TO MY VERY DEAR FRIEND AND BROTHER, PASTOR ISAAC TOLUWASE EKUNDAYO MOGAJI ( ITEM)

As I write this tribute , I find myself grappling with a profound sense of loss that words can scarcely convey. It feels just like yesterday when we met in The Polytechnic Owo, Ondo state Nigeria back in 1980, two young souls embarking on a journey of discovery and friendship. Little did I know then that you would become such an integral part of my life, a brother in spirit and a steadfast companion through the ebbs and flows of life.

Your unwavering faith and commitment to your Christian values were a guiding light for all who knew you. You lived your life with grace, kindness, and a generousity of spirit that inspired those around you. You taught us the importance of love, compassion, and community, reminding us that we are all part of something greater than ourselves.

Your laughter, your wisdom, and your unwavering support will forever echo in my heart. I remember the countless deep conversations we shared, the dreams we dared to chase, and the challenges we bravely faced together. Your ability to uplift others, even in your own struggles, is a testament to your remarkable strength and character.

Now, as I reflect on the legacy you left behind, I am reminded of your soulmate and ever supporting wife, Foluke and your children, Mathew, Mark ,Luke and John. It is my fervent hope that they inherit your courage, your compassion, and your unwavering faith. You have raised them to be kind, strong, and loving, and I know they will carry your spirit with them as they navigate their own paths in this world.

While I am devastated by your passing on October 23, 2024, I take solace in the memories we created and the love we shared. You will forever hold a special place in my heart, and I promise to honour your memory by living a life that reflects the values you embodied.

Rest in peace, my very dear friend and brother. Though you may be gone from our sight, you will never be forgotten. Your spirit will continue to shine brightly in the lives of those you touched. I will carry your love with me always. Rest in love and peace Tolu, till we meet to part no more.

Your friend and brother

**Tribute to Our Irreplaceable Brother and Friend, Pastor Tolu Mogaji**

It is difficult to express the shock and confusion we have felt since hearing of the passing of our beloved brother and friend, Pastor Tolu Mogaji.
Pastor Tolu was a foundational member of our fellowship and stood alongside our Pastor, his elder brother, Femi Mogaji, playing key roles in church celebrations, workshops, and annual weekend retreats. The CAC โ€“ East of Luton assembly has been blessed countless times over the years by Pastor Toluโ€™s faithful ministry.

We want to highlight just a few of his many contributions to the life of our church. His tireless energy and considerable organizational skills were invaluable in ensuring the success of our annual weekend retreats. Pastor Tolu participated in various programs, leading lectures and workshops, skilfully communicating Biblical truths clearly and practically. His messages were always delivered with humility, a gentle smile, and love, which we will miss dearly.

Pastor Tolu was also a lover of spiritual songs and hymns. He took a keen interest in their performance, often critiquing the worthiness of the songs presented in worship unto the Lord.
It is still hard to accept that he will no longer be working with us in this blessed vineyard of our glorious Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
We extend our deepest sympathies, particularly to his immediate familyโ€”his lovely wife, Foluke, and their four wonderful sonsโ€”as well as to the extended Mogaji family, Narrow Gate Fellowship, and all those who feel the void left by Pastor Toluโ€™s passing. We pray that the God of unsearchable wisdom and comfort will uphold and strengthen them during this difficult time, empowering them to continue their journey of life for the glory of God and His eternal praise.

In our grief, we take comfort in remembering his work and friendship with us, which was marked by sincerity, kindness, and a warm smile.

Isaiah 57:1-2:[i] โ€œThe righteous perishes, and no man takes it to heart; merciful men are taken away, while no one considers that the righteous is taken from evil. He shall enter into peaceโ€ฆโ€

Rest in peace and farewell, our dear brother.

A TRIBUTE TO PASTOR ISAAC TOLU MOGAJIย 


Tolu Mogaji a friend of mine We grew up learning academically and spiritually right away from saint Jamesโ€™ CAC primary School and saint Jamesโ€™ Christ Apostolic Church Oke-isegun, Irowo, Akure, Ondo State Nigeria, I can boldly say, we are a product of CAC Oke-isegun, Akure.


In the primary school, we are together under the auspices of Pastor MD, Mogaji his father, Pastor Olowola and Pastor Joseph Oluwamakin to mention few,ย 


During this period, Tolu was a complete gentle boy, who never misbehaved nor make trouble at all, besides he was brilliant. Due to this, I prefer to build my tent closer to him among our peers without knowing that both of us will be a Pastor in future, He is a type of person that live a complete simple life that is worthy of emulation. His death is sudden, but glory be to God our maker who knows the best time for man to check out from this world. May God keep and make great the family you left behind.

My Dearest Uncle Tolu,
It was shocking to hear about your departure though painful but I take solace in the truth that you did not die but have slept and transitioned into glory and we will see again! What a joy this gives me. We may not have spoken in a long while but I am grateful that you were a role model to my siblings and I back home in Ibadan. You were loving, gentle and accommodating. I was once young, now I am old. I have never seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed beg for bread. The Lord whom you have served with the whole of your heart will be a shield around your wife , children and all of us continuing in the Masterโ€™s will.. You will be forever loved and remembered. Your Aburo, Oluwatimilehin Mogaji & Family.

Tribute to my dear Uncle, Pastor Tolu Mogaji.

Dearest Uncle, your passing is a rude shock and a big blow to us all, especially the Mogaji Dynasty as a whole. We take solace in Christ that you are resting with Christ, where there is no pain or hustle of life.
You were a soldier of Christ and a true Christian indeed. Always working for the Lord.
I pray the Lord will comfort your dear wife, Aunty Foluke, the boys and the entire extended family.
Keep resting sir till resurrection morning.

Your Niece,
MoyinOluwa 'Moomo' Bolarinwa

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 Lordโ€™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 Toluโ€™s gospelers โ€“ Mathew, Mark, Luke and John โ€“ 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.

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 youย lived.
Sleep on, my darling Tolu, my dear brother beyond an in-law.

TRIBUTE TO PASTOR TOLU MOGAJI

Pastor Tolu, you suddenly left the scene when your loved ones were still acting and playing their roles with you, in life and in the kingdom service of Christ our Redeemer.

I was your Pastor in C.A.C Mount of East, 83, Lagos Street, Ebute-Meta, Lagos State, as a Church member then, you were easy going, yet you knew how to express your thoughts/opinions on matters.

Some years after, you told me that you were relocating to the United Kingdom with your family. When I visited the United Kingdom, thereafter and called you to ask where you were worshipping, you told me that it was a Church near your abode. I told you that we had started Christ Apostolic Church Vineyard of Mercy in the UK, after Pastoring CAC Ebute-Meta for years, and you were so happy, and immediately came to join CAC Vineyard of Mercy, UK. Years passed and you moved to outside of London, where you started a branch of Christ Apostolic Church.

You were a man of principles and you were very respectful to both younger and older people.You were a family man and a very dedicated Christian. In your duties as a husband, Pastor, Choir leader/member, father, brother, friend and employee, to people at various stages in life, I saw in you; love, understanding, celebration, peacefulness and passion for good things.

I called you 'Baba Gospel' because you named your four sons, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

Your passage was a shock. I miss you, but I will surely see you again on the resurrection morning.

Bye for a while, my beloved Pastor Tee.

Pastor Anu Ojo,
Your Pastor and brother from Efon Alaaye (Little London, as we joked about it)

TRIBUTE TO A DEAR BROTHER, PASTOR ISAAC TOLUWASE EKUNDAYO MOGAJI (ITEM)

โ€œThe greatest tragedy in life is not death but a life without purposeโ€ Rick Warren.
Dear brother, your sudden departure was devastating, rude and shocking. The news of your death on 23/10/2024 hit me so hard and it was so difficult for me to process and come to terms with the reality that you are no longer with us in the Mogaji Dynasty.

On your sick bed, we were hoping and believing that a miracle would happen, and you would be discharged back home. I desire that you recover from sickness and continue with your meaningful and impactful contribution to the Church of God, your family, community and society. I never knew your Maker and Redeemer was calling you back home to take your deserved rest. The Lord did the best He preferred for you, as He controls all affairs.

Dear brother, you fought a good fight to the last day and I know you are in a better place. During my visit with your bro Olu on 20/10/2024, the last word I heard from you was Hallelujah, based on our custom after prayer, not knowing that you are preparing to shout Hallelujah with the heavenly host.

Despite your departure, I will hold on to your legacy of living for God and His word, selfless life, willingness to be a helping hand to whosoever comes across you, and your principle of standing for the truth and walking in the NARROW WAY.
Dear ITEM, though you are no longer with us on this side of the planet, I am grateful to God for your meaningful, purposeful and impactful life during your short time.

Rest on the bosom of your Saviour and Redeemer our beloved brother till we meet to sing Hallelujah in Heaven.
ADIEU ooooo, omo uyan derefe deyin, o ke si Mogaji roro loke Uloja. Omo ogo Uloja, omo alaran oloke ji lu, omo edu ile ahun, Efon kumoye. Ao pade lese Jesu nibiti ko ni si ipinya mo.

A Tribute to Pastor Isaac Tolu Mogaji
The news of your passing, Pastor Isaac Tolu Mogaji, struck our hearts with deep pain, but we take solace in the promises of God. As Christians, we do not mourn like those without hope, for we know that you are now resting in the presence of our Lord, where there is fullness of joy and eternal peace.

You were more than a pastor; you were a vessel of honour in God's hands, a leader who shepherded with love, wisdom, and an unwavering commitment to the gospel. Your life exemplified the teachings of Christโ€”humility, sacrifice, and compassion. Through your ministry, countless lives were transformed, hearts were mended, and faith was rekindled.

Though your earthly journey has ended, the legacy you leave behind is eternal. The seeds of faith you planted in the hearts of many will continue to bear fruit. Your sermons, prayers, and acts of kindness will resonate for generations.

We miss your voice, your counsel, and your infectious zeal for God. But even in our grief, we rejoice because you have fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith. Heaven has gained a true saint.

Rest well, dear Pastor Mogaji, in the arms of our Savior. We will continue to uphold the truths you preached and walk in the faith you so boldly proclaimed. Until we meet again in glory, you will forever remain in our hearts.
Victoria Oyegunle from London
Writing this tribute comes with mixed feelings and emotions. The news of your transition was a shock wave to me and the body of Christ. Pastor Tolu was the Anosike Region Ministerโ€™s choir master , in which I am a member. Your gentle but firm leadership during rehearsals, persuasive words even when we having challenges with special renditions or going over our scheduled finishing time, what about the Tom Tom sweet to put smile on our faces will be greatly missed. You are indeed a rare gem. May the Lord fill up the vacuum left in biological and spiritual families in Jesus name. Aden my Oga. Till we meet again Sleep on Pastor Tolu Mogaji.
Pastor J Salami from Dagenham
It is sadness and heavy heart that I heard about the departed of our beloved Pastor Tolu Mogaji. It is hard to believe. Pastor Tolu Mogaji was a dedicated and devoted man of God. He diligently served God and refused to compromised his faith. He sacrificed his time, resources and energy for propagating the gospel.He stood upon the pedestal of humility I know his crown will be awaiting him in heaven. My condolences go to his family. May the Lord fill the vacuum his departure creates in the family. Sleep on Pastor Tolu till we meet again at feet of Chist.
Abimbola Akanni from Romford
My lovely pastor,a nice man,gentle person, who make himself available for the work of God and his community, thy Lord will be with his family in Jesus name Amen.

Tribute to Pastor Tolu Mogaji

Today, we remember Pastor Tolu Mogaji with gratitude and heavy hearts. He was a faithful servant of Christ whose love, teachings, and service touched many lives. His dedication to Godโ€™s work leaves a lasting impact.

We thank God for his life and unwavering faith. He truly โ€œfought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faithโ€ (2 Timothy 4:7).
