Bishop Wale Oke, President, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), has expressed shock over the death of Dr Wilson Badejo, describing it as a great loss to the Christian community.
Badejo, former General Overseer of the Foursquare Church, passed away on Saturday at the age of 74.
The PFN president in a condolence message in Ibadan on Sunday, said Badejo while alive dedicated his service to the Lord and 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.
“For everyone, death is a garb that will be worn by all at the appointed time.

“Though humanly speaking, one would not have wanted him to go now, however, God is the ultimate decider of ‘when’ for everybody,” the message read.
Oke warned that Badejo’s death should always serve as a lesson of reminder that nobody would live in the world forever.
Oke lamented that many in the society still behave as if they would never leave the earth.
While commiserating with the family, Foursquare Church and the Christian body in the country, the PFN president, prayed that God would grant everyone concerned the fortitude to bear Badejo’s transition to glory.
