Bishop Francis Wale Oke of the Christ Life Bible Church, a.k.a. Sword of the Spirit Ministry and Mr Boboye Oyeyemi, Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), on Sunday, joined the array of eminent Nigerians that have visited the Ikenne, Ogun State home of the Awolowos in respect of the death of Chief Hannah Idowu Dideolu Awolowo.

Bishop Wale Oke said that everyone who is desirous of going to Heaven must live a godly life as Mama Awolowo did. In spite of power, riches or fame, without Christ, Bishop Wale Oke submitted, heaven is impossible. The cleric, who described his visit as congratulatory rather than condolence because Mama lived a full, richly Christian life, expressed confidence that Mama Awolowo had not died, but only moved to a better place than this world – “the Land of Glory.”

He said, “When I learnt of Mama’s demise, I was convinced that Mama had gone to glory, because believers don’t die, they take their exit to the Land of Glory.” The man of God, who expressed his belief that Mama was already resting in the bosom of the Lord, relived a 1991 experience that underlined Mama’s deep, unflinching love for Christ.

According to him, Mama exhibited her distinguished Christian life in the manner she deliberately and purposefully renewed her commitment to Christ during a five-day all-Remo crusade organised by his church. He shared how, on a particular night during the crusade, while he was preaching salvation, Mama, in her own handwriting, committed her life, again, to Christ and then forwarded the “decision slip,” in which Mama expressly stated that she wanted to go to Heaven, to him.

“Mama lived a full life. Mama lived a glorious life. Mama fulfilled her destiny and has left a permanent mark on the sands of time. So, I congratulate the family on the glorious home-going of Mama, because not only did Mama live a godly life, she gave her life to Christ, received Christ as her Lord and Saviour and was filled with the Holy Spirit.

“At least, I knew that during a crusade that we did in 1991, and she had lived a consistent godly and Christian life ever since. “Mama is in Heaven because if anybody believes in Christ, he will not see death, he will go to Heaven; he has passed from death to life,” he said. He admonished Nigerians to follow the example of Mama HID Awolowo and dedicate their lives to God.

“Let’s shun every crime, every corruption and every evil and let’s live a godly and glorious life like Mama did, and it shall be well with us,” Bishop Wale Oke added.

Sorry but why is a pentecostal pastor asking people to emulate someone in order to make Heaven? Christianity is all about the heart. Only God knows who is sincere in their Christianity. Perhaps because Awolowo was involved in politics... Is he saying you should follow politicians in order to reach Heaven?

Ok...

LOL
