The President of Christ Apostolic Church, Nigeria and Overseas, Pastor Samuel O. Oladele has described the late planter of CAC Oke-Agbara, Prophet Michael Ojo Olowere as an epitome of humility and commitment to the things of God.
It's no longer news that Prophet Olowere slept in the Lord on Wednesday evening at age 100 in Ibadan, Oyo State.
In a video shared on his official Facebook page (@pastorsooladele), the CAC President said Prophet Olowere laboured till he breathed his last, praying that God will continue to raise his likes in Christ Apostolic Church and in the body of Christ generally.
Read his exact words: "on behalf of the leadership of CAC Nigeria and Overseas, I want to commiserate with Mama Olowere and all the biological children of Baba Olowere, on the departure of our father into glory. We commiserate with CAC Oke-Agbara Ashi in Ibadan, CAC Oke-Imole and the entire Districts' Coordinating Council.
"We commiserate with all the spiritual children of Baba Olowere. We thank God for his life. It is said that it is not how long, but how well. Baba Olowere lived long and he also lived well, to the glory of God. He was an epitome of humility and total commitment to the things of God. He laboured till he breathed his last breath.
"We pray that God will continue to raise his likes in Christ Apostolic Church and in the body of Christ generally. We are going to miss him and his ministration. It's with gratitude to God that we are admonishing his family to please keep the faith and keep looking unto the Lord Jesus Christ. It's well with the family and all of us that are associated with Baba one way or the other."
