He noted that his dedication enhanced the spread of the gospel to nations of the world.

Oke, who is also the presiding Bishop of the Sword of the Spirit Ministries, Ibadan, said that Badejo lived a worthy life and would remain a challenge to the living.

“Rev. Wilson Badejo was a strong-willed man who pursued righteousness till he breathed his last.

“For everyone, death is a garb that will be worn by all at the appointed time.

“Though humanly speaking, one wouldn’t have wanted him to go now, however, God is the ultimate decider of ‘when’ for everybody,” he noted.

He said that death should always serve as a lesson of reminder that nobody would live in the world forever.

Oke lamented that many in society still behave as if they would never leave the earth.

“In the case of Rev. Badejo, our joy and solace are that having fought a good fight of faith, he has gone to rest with our Lord Jesus Christ.
