The C.A.C General Evangelist and
founder of World Soul Wining Evangelism (WOSEM), Prophet (Dr.) T.O Obadare was yesterday
buried in his hometown. Obadare died March 21st 2013 and was buried
at Ileki Ilesa-Ibadan express Road Ilesa Osun State Nigeria.
The WOSEM new site at Ileki couldn’t contain
people as people troop in from nook and cranny of Nigeria.
Pastor Paul Obadare (Son) narrates what
his father told him before breathing his last breath:
“I was privileged to have an interaction
with Papa before he died. I moved close to him and he told me so many things as
if he had known that he would die. One of the things he told me was that we should
ensure that we bring him back to Ilesa whenever he dies and his remains should
be buried inside his church in Ilesa, his home town.
“Papa told me that I should tell the
family that he insisted that his body be brought to Ilesa whenever he goes to
be with his Lord and saviour. He maintained that he would want to be buried in
Ilesa and that is why we have all agreed that he should be brought to Ilesa,
even though he spent better part of his life and ministry in Akure, Ondo state,
where we have headquarters of the church. Today papa was not just an indigene
of a particular place but an international man with reputable achievements
spread across various areas of human endeavours.”
“The late Apostle Obadare was a fervent
man of God, and there was no dull moment with him. Every time you
had with him was always very interesting and exciting. He will be greatly
missed by those who knew him, especially those of us who are his biological children
and several other spiritual children in various parts of the world.”
“He was a soul that
represented so many things to us as a family and even he represented so many
things to the body of Christ on earth. The Christian Association of Nigeria
(CAN) would miss papa, so also many individuals and organizations would miss
him.”
Among the important personality at
the burial ceremony are the CAN president, Pastors, Evangelists, Gospel
Singers, Osun State Governor and many others.
The Osun State Governor, Ogbeni Aregbesola
said, “Prophet Obadare was an epitome of wisdom in the evangelistic world and
his legacies will remain indelible on the sand of time. The lesson his
departure taught us is that any position you are, dedication and faithfulness
are necessary for success to be guaranteed.
“His life taught us that
whatever obstacle that comes one’s way should not debar but must strengthen
one’s resolve to be successful. What God endows us to do, we must do it with
our best ability.”
