Titilayo Tolulope Awopetu
“Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:37-39

My beautiful sister in love (Christiana Adeyemi) passed away recently and sister Tolu was amazing and breath of fresh air . She put all her energy into the preparations and offer counselling as well. I was looking forward to keep in touch and have a relationship with her . Sleep well Pastor Tolu. ( ‘Bunmi Adeyemi)

Pastor Tolu’s life was a reflection of her deep relationship with God. She was a vessel of His love, always ready with an encouraging word, a listening ear, and a prayer that carried the power of heaven.
Her kindness knew no boundaries. Whether it was visiting the sick, comforting the brokenhearted, or lifting the weary, Pastor Tolu embodied what it meant to serve. She gave herself fully to her calling, with a passion that inspired everyone around her to draw closer to God and to live lives of purpose.
She was a woman of vision and strength, always pushing forward, always believing, always trusting God, even in the face of challenges. Her laughter, her prayers, her unwavering belief in the potential of others — these are the memories we hold close to our hearts.
Though our hearts are heavy, we rejoice in the knowledge that Pastor Tolu has entered her eternal rest, where she now stands in the presence of the Lord she loved so deeply. Her legacy lives on in the countless lives she touched, the faith she inspired, and the seeds of hope she planted.
Pastor Tolu, you have run your race with grace and finished your course with faithfulness. We are grateful for the gift of your life, and though you are no longer with us, your light will continue to shine in our hearts.
Rest well in the arms of the Savior. You will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

Purpose made our path to cross when we met online years ago.
We became sisters' in christ, friend, and counselor to each other. From then, we clicked as though we have known each other for years.
Your passion for people to get it right in their choice of marriage and create a blissful family was what drives you.
My very vibrant, kind and loving sister, always showing up for people, you are always helping people out in one thing or the other.
Is it your calls or messages to check up on me when you do not hear from me that I should talk about?
I hope you understand when I let you know how much your checking in on me meant.
Your love for your family is so great! You always say the Holy Spirit told you to take care of your husband.
It is still very shocking and difficult to believe you are gone. As painful as it may be we are comforted by the word of God in 1 Thess 14:13 & 17 that those who are sleeping in the Lord will be raised with Jesus first on the last day.
We love you but God loves you more. Who can question Him?
Sleep well and rest in peace sister mi.

To my aunty Tolu
How do you write a tribute for someone you thought was going to live forever ?
I can’t believe you are gone,
You weren’t just a church member, you became family, You were my aunty, my confidant, my advisor, my boss because you always called me your PA
You were always looking for my trouble and you were supposed to look for my trouble for a very long time
You were always my cheerleader, my dance partner, my second mummy
I am grateful that we shared 14 years together, I wish we could have shared more
I will always remember you with love and as the beautiful bold and vibrant woman you always were. And whenever I wear platform heels I will always think of you.
Rest well

Thank you Pastor Mrs for all your words of advice and encouragement. You were the first person I spoke to when I was looking for a church in Chelmsford and you were so welcoming to me. Thank you, I am grateful. Your kindness and grace is a blessing to all who had the privilege of meeting and knowing you. I pray that you rest in eternal peace and that God will comfort your family ❤️

I celebrate the life of a remarkable woman, Mrs. Tolu Awopetu, whose legacy will forever live in our hearts. She was not only a devoted mother but also a pillar of strength and love to everyone around her.
The church was her sanctuary, a space where she poured out her love and kindness, embracing all with open arms. Her selfless dedication to the youth left an indelible mark, as she guided, nurtured, and inspired them to reach their full potential.
She leaved a well documented life. “Come and take my picture” Mo fe post “ she’ll say. Not knowing that this are the things we would reference back to.
Her pleasant surprise visit and how she would find her way to the kitchen and cook and nice pot of jollof rice, call me and ask what movie she can watch.
She was so keen on making sure you join a department in church and would push you in other to fulfill your purpose. She was a gaol getter and she made me realise you do not have to be perfect before you start something. Just do it
Mrs. Awopetu’s unwavering faith, compassion, and commitment to the well-being of others reflect the light she brought into the lives of so many. Her absence is deeply felt, but her memory will remain a source of inspiration and comfort.
Rest well, beautiful Pastor Mrs , in the eternal peace of the Lord.

My baby like i will call you, It's hard to accept that you are no more. You have consistently been my motivation. It's an honour to have known you this far, You’ve always had the heart to encourage and offer guidance and help when it was required.
Time can never blur the memories I have of you. You have touched and impacted our lives from multiple perspectives, and it's difficult not to remember that you are no longer with us. You taught us the true meaning of love and compassion through your actions and words. Your legacy will continue to guide us, reminding us to be kind and loving just as you were. My pastor Mrs was somebody so unique and can never be forgotten. I will miss making your cup of tea, my dancing partner I miss you so much!
I pray to God to bring peace and solace to your family at this time. Rest in peace my love

Pastor Mrs,
You truly were the best!!
You embraced me as if I were your own daughter, showering me with love and care.
Your unwavering support and investment in my growth have meant the world to me.
You taught me how to aim for whatever I wanted, you showed me how to love God dearly, you taught me to appreciate the beauty of life in so many ways.
Looking back, I really wish I had taken you up on that spa date offer 😊
I will miss you sooooo much Pst Mrs 🤍🤍🤍

Dear Pastor Mrs,
Words truly fail us at a moment like this. You were so much more than a teacher, you were a mother, a mentor, a counsellor, and a source of inspiration.
Your passion for the teenagers was unmatched, and it radiated through every lesson, every smile, and every heartfelt word you shared with us.
You didn’t just teach us, you made learning God’s Word an experience we looked forward to. We will always cherish the laughter you brought to us, the countless lessons on Joseph's story, and the wisdom you poured into us about goal-setting (we still smile when we think of it).
Thank you for the time you invested in us, the prayers you prayed over us, the truth you declared over us and the encouragement you gave us, calling us champions.
You made a difference in every teenager’s life by making us feel seen, loved, and valued. Your dedication to shaping us into better versions of ourselves is a legacy that will live on.
On behalf of RCCG POJ Teens Church, we want to say we will miss you greatly. Your impact is eternal, and your memory will forever inspire us to walk the path you so beautifully exemplified.

In loving memory of a sister, and daughter of Zion. Your departure came as a very rude shock and we are still trying to come to terms with it. Sometimes I still imagine you moving around and seeing that everything is in the right place and I wish this was just a dream. Your light shines on in our hearts and your love for God and his work remains our greatest treasure. May your legacy of kindness endure and may your memory live on. We love you!

Pst Mrs as we fondly call her was indeed a great woman of God and a rare gift to this generation.i met her during my uni days at ARU in 2013 and she became a friend and support system to me as a student. She would always go out of her way to pick me up from my house every Sunday on her way to church just to make sure I am in church early
for workers meeting. Even when I got married and joined my husband's church,she never failed to check on me and my family,always calling and texting to make sure we are fine. Even when I had my kids ,she made sure she visited us. Hearing this news was a huge shock to me and my family and we are so sad about this but who are we to question God.I know the angels are rejoicing that a rare gem has been called home to be with the Lord. We love and Miss you Mama.you will never be forgotten. Forever in my heart.Rest in peace until we meet again.
May God continue to comfort our beloved Pastor Awopetu and the kids and the rest of your family whom you have left behind and may his arms be wrapped tightly around them to keep them safe and comforted 🙏🏽💕

Our very dear sister, mother and close friend , Pastor Tolulope Awopetu left us suddenly and unannounced. Her death was one in a million, very shocking, heavy, deep and painful. God took her home to serve with the angels. We are however consoled that she lived a purposeful, humanitarian and Christian life. She lived a life like d candle in d wind. She endeared herself into the hearts of so many. We as a family appreciate and cherish her love, care to us and more importantly her prayers always. She left good legacies and footprints which give us the confidence that she came, saw and conquered. We commit her immediate family, relations, friends that she left behind into the hands of God for safe keep and good health in Jesus Mighty Name. She will be sorely missed. Good night our beloved sister, mother and dear friend till we meet to part no more. The Ayoola family will forever remember our dear Iya Ileri, a woman of many parts. Dearest, please rest in the bossom of your Creator.

Titi,it came as a rude shock to understand that you're gone.My heart broke and it's been humbling for me since then.
We first met in August 2022 at Chelmsford at the gathering of the Aloba descendants in the UK intended to unite us all and we bonded really well.We interacted as if we'd know each other for a long time.We were all excited to know our roots and you were proactive with the draft of the family tree on a large piece of paper to depict our connections from the generations of Pa D.B Aloba and beyond. You explained that your grandfather was late Pa Fawibe Aloba and your grandmother was Née Aloba.
It's sad you're gone now but I take consolation in the fact that you had completed your script and finished your race,and you are resting in the bossom of your maker,the one who loves you more than we all do.Not how long but how well.

It’s still a great shock in our hearts as a family ,Though she is no longer with us in this world, her spirit lingers in the lives she touched. Every lesson she shared, every kindness she extended, every dream she inspired will carry forward. She leaves behind not just memories but a legacy of love, strength, and an enduring example of a life well-lived.
Today, we mourn her loss, but we also celebrate her life—a life that mattered, a life that blessed us all. May we honor her by living with the same grace, courage, and kindness she so freely gave to us.
Rest well, dear pastor Mrs . You are gone from our sight but never from our hearts.

It is with a heavy heart that I write this tribute, as we bid farewell to an extraordinary woman of God. Pastor Mrs. Tolu Awopetu, your departure has left a void in our lives that words cannot fill.
I will never forget the day you visited us when our daughter was born. Upon arrival, you noticed that our older daughter wasn’t feeling well and was reluctant to take her medication. With such grace, you held her, played with her, and gently persuaded her to take her medicine. You even went the extra mile, taking her to the bathroom and bathing her, showing a motherly care that went far beyond the expected.
You were kind, caring, and truly God-fearing. It was in your nature to serve, to love, and to uplift. Often, I would jokingly tell my wife, "Pastor Mrs. needs to delegate o!" because you were always everywhere, tirelessly ensuring everything was in order. Your commitment and dedication were unwavering, and your presence brought warmth and peace to all who knew you.
You have left indelible marks on our hearts and lives as a family. Your memory will continue to inspire us, reminding us of the beauty of a life lived in service to God and others.
Rest well in the arms of the Lord, dear Pastor Mrs. Tolu Awopetu. You will be dearly missed, but your legacy of love and faith will live on.
Sleep on...

Dear mummy
It's been so difficult for me to accept and come to terms with your passing. If we'd known how short your time with us was, we would've loved you harder, hugged you tighter, smiled and laughed with you more. We would've gladdingly allowed you bump into our group and individual photos and taken myriads of selfies with you.
Dearest mummy, our hearts aches so much, however, we are comforted with the knowledge that you've gone to be with the Lord whom death and sickness has no power over.
Thank you. For living an amazingly exemplary life. Thank you. For your prayers and love to my family. Thank you. For being my great support when I needed it the most. Thank you. For being a joy and light to us. Your memory lives on.
Adieu great woman of God!

My dear Tolu, my Coz, as we fondly call ourselves. I'm so short of words. Its so unbelievable that you have left us. The last time I saw you in April, you looked so full of life. I guess God likes to keep His beloved close. Looking back, now get why the urgency, why you were so intentional with connecting with people. Our meeting 14 years ago as Pastor's wives almost felt like we knew eachother before time. Thank you for being a blessing to this generation, for walking the walk, for your passion, especially for the young ones, and for making your mark. You will forever be remembered. Rest on my friend, my Coz.
Love.

"O death, where is thy sting?..."
Pastor Mrs, this loss is huge! This certainly wasn't the plan but my hope is that you have found rest in the bosom of the Father, whom you loved till the very end. Indeed, you loved, laughed and lived. My prayers are with Pastor, your amazing children and everyone you called family (a whole lot of people, based on your life of impact). May the God of all comfort wipe these tears from our eyes in a way only He can, Amen.

When a person has laboured during the day in office, he/she would go home after work to go and rest.
Our Employer in this Vineyard is Jesus Christ. He alone knows our Closing Time at work.
My Closing Time at work is different from your Closing Time at work.
But only Jesus Christ, our Employer knows when to tell us: IT IS CLOSING TIME. - Mike Bamiloye.
Sister Tolu, it's difficult to accept that you have gone to rest with the Master, to us it's too early but to the Master, you have done well and it's closing time.
Thank you for all you have done, good night.

My dear Pastor Mrs. I have still not come to terms with the fact that you are really gone forever! It breaks my heart 💔 that I had to write this today. Heavens Rejoice, but my heart bleeds. Thank you for all the great times we have had together. My whole family loves you so much! You will be sadly missed! Sunday selfie 🤳 will never be the same again. Rest in perfect peace our selfie Queen.

Thank you, Titi, for your love, your wisdom, your good spirit, and your unwavering support. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. Your memory will live on in our hearts and in the lives of all those you touched. Rest in peace, dear Titi.

Titilayo! Rest in peace our dear friend and sister. Earth’s loss... Heaven’s Gain. ✝️😢🕊

I never actually got the chance to meet mummy, but was really hoping I would!
Mummy delivered a talk via insta live for PSF (Pastors seeds family) earlier this year and I was drawn to her from there. I followed her on Instagram and liked all the posts she shared, particularly on relationships.
I became more and more drawn to her and hoped that I’d have a chance to meet her.
She posted something maybe a day or two before she passed, which I liked and so it was such a shock horror to hear not many hours after that she had passed.
May her blessed soul rest in peace xxx

Hmmmm Pastor Tolu! Words still fail me, and I am still very much in denial of your passing. To me, it’s sudden and I guess that makes it even much more difficult for me to accept.
As a matured single attending POJ, you made me feel sooo much at home and at ease. You were so so pleasant, so friendly and so easy to get along with. Even after I relocated, the friendship continued very well. Each time we talked, we flowed very freely.
I am still extremely sad at your passing, and I wish someone will just call me to say it’s just all a huge mix up, and all is well.
My heart aches for the family you left behind, including the POJ church family, as I know you have left a huge gap behind. I pray to God to comfort all.
I pray to God in his infinite mercies, that your soul rest in perfect peace, because you deserve it.
Rest in peace sis, until we meet to part no more.

It’s been the hardest thing to lose you Pastor Mrs.
Your words of wisdom.
Your laughter that brightens my heart anytime I see you
We could talk hours on phone advising, correcting, laughing and calling my name repeatedly..
You are a free hearted person.. Have seen pastor Mrs but you are different and unique..
You are a virtuous woman and I will never forget all the lessons and wisdom had learnt from you “mummy” as I love to call you..
Every memories of you, makes me remember how you helped me when I walked into RCCG POJ disturbed and worried about my life, things was really tough for me then. you came through for me.. You become like that back bone I never had. You patiently walk me through those challenges and ensures I pull through. You kept encouraging me to have faith in God even when your sick..
Your demise is really a tough one for me to accept..
But I know God knows best

I'm still in shock and don't know what to write. Sleep well dear friend in the bossom of the Lord. I have been trying to connect with you calling friends that know you but I didn't get any reply from them only to hear of your passing into glory. It's well with the family you left behind.
November 12, 2024
Wow! Wow!! Wow!!! I am still in shock and yet to recover from the news of your death.
I don't know what to say or write.
While you were living, I really appreciated you because you were always there for me as my one and only Big sister that you were.
Thank you for teaching me how to be strong and how to be serious but that seriousness is not in me lol.
Thank you for standing by my side when I lost my husband and getting another coach for me during that period was very helpful.
I wish wishes could come true; in second, I would wish that you stay back till our mother leaves this Earth.
Anyway, who are we to question God.
I pray that GOD in his infinite mercy will allow Mercy to open the gate of Heaven for you to have an everlasting rest.
Your memory will forever live in my heart Big sister.

It's well, rest well dear Titilayo, it's so saddening to hear this news of your demise the Unquestionable God has taken an angel , in as much I looked forward to seeing or hearing from you since our secondary school days, when I visited you and the family in Festac, rest well dear Titilayo.
November 12, 2024
Titilayo my dear friend.......I only just heard about your passing!!! Though we've not spoken for years, but there was this urge to contact you few months ago after chatting with our fellow Commandos. It is a shocking news and a painful one indeed, but I thank God for the impactful life you lived. I can see a part of your beautiful Legacy all over the social media. You will surely be missed, but the consolation for me is that You have FINISHED WELL and so you are RESTING WELL. I pray for strength like no other for your entire family at this time.
This is Nike (Nee Owolabi) saying goodbye to you till we meet to part no more.

I got this rude shock of your death this afternoon and am yet to take it as a reality. I remember our last meeting in 1999 after the completion of our secondary education in 1991. We talked at length on that day not knowing it would be our last meeting on earth Titilayo. My prayer is for our good God to console the entire Awopetu and Agbelusis' family. Sleep well my dear Titilayo.
November 12, 2024
I am still in shock at the news of your passing. You were truly one of the most selfless and loving souls I have ever known. Your kindness, compassion, and unwavering faith were an inspiration to everyone who had the privilege of knowing you.
I deeply miss your warmth and gentle spirit, but I find comfort in knowing you are now at peace, resting in God’s bosom. Your life was a blessing, and your memory will forever remain in my heart.

Pastor Mrs Awopetu, a force to be reckoned with, a powerhouse, an engaging orator and a relentless enthusiast. Driven, determined and dedicated to the work of God. Unwavering with fulfilling her calling and committed to transforming lives on the way. Words won't be enough but it must be said, it must be written that you were an exemplary of running your race and running it well. Thank you for constant love and care.
When I first met you,you were full of warmth. Every interaction had me laughing, especially when discussing my relationship status. You had a mandate to help the body build strong marriages, to reflect Christ and the church and that you did so beautifully. You're an inspiration and you left your mark. I'm grateful for your example.

I thank God for the incredible gift of your life, Pastor Mrs Tolu Awopetu. You were so much more than a spiritual guide to me—you were a big sister, a mentor, and a steadfast source of strength. Your wisdom, your love, and your encouragement shaped my life in ways I will forever treasure. Through your example, you taught me not only how to walk in faith, but also how to embrace life with grace, resilience, and compassion.
Your impact on my life, and the lives of so many others, is immeasurable. You poured into us selflessly, always pointing us toward God’s love, His Word, and His purpose. As I reflect on all the ways you touched my life and the lives of countless others, I take comfort knowing that the angels in heaven are rejoicing for the beautiful legacy you’ve left behind.
I am forever grateful for your constant light, your prayers, and your guidance. The lessons you taught me will live on in my heart, and I pray that I can carry them forward in the same beautiful way you did.
Thank you for loving me like a sister, for being there through every season, and for showing me the love of God in ways words cannot fully express. I thank God for the opportunity to tell you how much I loved and appreciated you, just days before you passed. I am thankful for that final conversation, where we shared memories, laughter, and love.
Rest well, Pastor Mrs Tolu Awopetu . You are deeply loved, and your memory will forever live in our hearts. ❤️

Pastor Tolu Awopetu a woman whose life was a testament to God's love, grace, and faithfulness. Her passing has left a deep void in our hearts, but we celebrate the immeasurable impact she had on all of us and the legacy she leaves behind.
As a mother, she nurtured not just her biological children but also the many spiritual children she raised with care and tenderness. She was a constant source of strength for her family, a model of grace and patience. Her devotion to her loved ones, her faith in God, and her unwavering commitment to her ministry were the pillars upon which she built her life and legacy.
Pastor Tolu's impact will continue to be felt for generations to come. The lessons she taught, the prayers she prayed, and the love she shared will never be forgotten. Her legacy is one of faithfulness, love, and service, and it is one that will inspire us to continue her work and live with the same devotion to Christ and to others.
May your soul rest in perfect peace, and may God continue to strengthen your family .

It took me an entire week to grapple with the heart-wrenching reality that our Maker had called one of His most dedicated soldiers home. I found myself awaiting phone calls that would shatter this painful truth, but it became clear that the One who loved you more deeply had gently taken you away.
Rather than dwell in sadness, I’ve chosen to celebrate the vibrant life you led. Pastor Tolu Awopetu touched so many lives while she was here; her love was boundless, her service unwavering, and her generous spirit brought genuine joy to everyone around her.
I fondly remember her thoughtful efforts to connect young wives. Also seeking to create bonds of friendship for those of us navigating the early days of marriage. She introduced me to one of my dearest sister-friends, and I will forever be grateful for that beautiful gift of companionship.
Though we love you dearly, we take comfort in knowing that the Ancient of Days loves you even more. Pastor Titilayo Tolulope Awopetu, may you find eternal rest in the warm embrace of your Creator. We will miss your presence, but we know that Jesus cares for you infinitely more. As you rest in His arms, may your spirit soar in peace.
Pastor Titilayo Tolulope Awopetu Ma sun lo ololufe ko si ma simi, Fori le aye olugbala re, a fe o sugbon Jesu fe o ju, sun re laya olugbala wa. O di owuro sani, Pastor Tolu, A tun fere ri ra na bi ti ipinya ati ituka ko si. O di owuro o.
Goodnight, dear Pastor Tolu.

Is a bitter pill for me to swallow when I saw your pics on Instagram tagged forever in our heart. You will greatly be missed my dearest sister Tolu( as we fondly called you). You are a rare gem that can not be forgotten. Your love for children, teenagers, youths/young adults and everyone around you is great. We believe you are in a better place. Is good night and not good bye.😭😭😭🙏😭😭😭

Our very own Pastor Mrs…
It feels so surreal penning a tribute to you.
Where does one start from?
Shocked is an understatement.
I am truly heart broken.
You lived life with so much passion and purpose. With so much commitment and tunnel vision. Like you knew you were on borrowed time.
For some of us, our tribute is laced with some guilt - of whether we truly valued and appreciated you enough whilst you were still here?
You were a rare gem. A mother to so many of us.
I cannot tell the story of my university journey and experience without you (and Pastor) in it. You were a huge part of it - through your person, through Talk2me International, through Glory Campus Fellowship (GCF), through RCCG POJ, amongst others.
All testaments of who you are and your heart for us youths; your heart for people in general.
You showed up for people even with your busy schedules. I don’t know how you did it, but you did. What a woman.
My heart breaks for Pastor and the children. You were the core, the glue.
Praying Gods comfort and strength over them all.
The last time we spoke this year, you teased me about how you were ready to “buy my asoebi”. (That has always been your resolve for your girls - that we marry right).
I wish we had more time..
It’s really upsetting for some of us to realise that you wouldn’t witness that day amongst other milestones.
You were the life of the party. Your energy, temperament, personality, vibe was second to none. Oh how I will miss it.
My confidence, our confidence, is that you are resting in God’s bosom and we will see you again. Though this hurts, we do not mourn like those without hope:
“For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.”
I Thessalonians 4:14 NKJV
Thank you for a life well lived and a legacy that will stand the test of time.
Rest on Pastor Mrs ♥️

Hmmmmm, my heart breaks as I write. You’re a true mother to me. You’ve been there for me every step of the way. You’re a mother and my friend. You thought me about how to be intentional with life. You thought me about purpose, prayer, love, parenting, business, fashion, self love, the Holyspirit, wisdom, planning, organisation, service for God, Discipline, integrity and most especially God. Thank you for the connections you gave me.
Your passion and energy is like no other.
Thank you for the impacts you’ve made in my life. Thank you for been present in my life, thanks for the calls, the visits, the text messages, the outings you always say Dami let me take you out. I will forever miss you.
You’re indeed 1 in a billion. Never met anyone like you. You cannot be forgotten. Your departure breaks my heart. I love you forever

It was a rude shock to me when I saw Pastor Tolu’s obituary posted on her IG. I was so confused that I had to call someone to confirm what I just saw and with the hope that it would not be true!
I met Pastor Tolu through a friend (Dr. Yemi) when she recommended her as a guest speaker for our online program. Pastor Tolu was all and so much more of what my friend spoke of.
We quickly bonded as if we had known each other for ages. She became one of my confidant, I could literally share anything with her and she also introduced me to her loving husband who has been a tremendous blessing to me.
It is really painful that I did not get to meet you in person but I take solace in knowing that we shall meet at the feet of the cross. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.
Death is not the end, Jesus is!

I came to the UK as a minor studying engineering in January. I have no biological family here, so it really looked like I was going to be on my own for a long time.
By the mystery of God’s plan I found myself in POJ on a random Sunday in February, and when I put my hand up as the first-timer in church, they led me into her office. She came in the middle of my introduction and the way she took my hand made it feel like she’d known me for years. She adopted me immediately into her family without caring who I was or where I came from. If this is not love, then I don’t know what else is.
Thank you Pastor Mrs for truly embodying what Christ meant when He told us, “Love.” I love you and I look forward to meeting you again where we have no more separation. Rest in glory.

Pastor Mrs, an amazing woman, mentor and guardian. She lit up any room she entered. I thank God Almighty for knowing her and allowing her cross my path. I believe she was God's gift to me at the time I met her. She was driven by her love for her family, people and her purpose, willing to share her knowledge.
Thank you for being there and reaching out when you needed to.
I will miss you, Pastor Mrs and I believe you are dancing with the angels above. Till we meet again.

Pastor Tolu was so vibrant and energetic that I have always wondered where she got her energy from, she is always smiling and I always look forward to see her dance. It was a shock to us when we heard the news and we were so devastated. There were so many questions i kept asking myself but I know God knows best.
We would deeply, deeply, deeply miss you Ma’am and this void in our hearts can never be filled as there is no one that can ever be you.
I know the heaven gained an angel but it was too soon 😢.
Myself and my husband pray for strength for the entire family and the church as a whole to go through this phase and may her soul rest in perfect peace.
Pastor Tolu would forever remain our hearts 🤍🤍.

I know the heaven gained an angel but it was too soon 😢.
Myself and my husband pray for strength for the entire family and the church as a whole to go through this phase and may her soul rest in perfect peace.
Pastor Tolu would forever remain our hearts 🤍🤍.

Our mother in Christ, my family and I were left in dismay to hear of your demise. Your support to mankind and service to God were second to none. You were so heavenly-minded, energetic and would not stop supporting everyone. We miss your kind words and prayer. Heaven has gained a Saint!

Today, my heart is heavy, my spirit quieted in grief as I reflect upon the loss of our dear Pastor Mrs., a woman who was a true vessel of grace and a beacon of God's love in our lives. Her passing has left a void that words struggle to fill. It is hard to imagine the church without her gentle smile, her reassuring voice, and the warmth she radiated so effortlessly.
Pastor Mrs. was more than a spiritual leader; she was a friend, a mentor, a mother, and an unwavering source of comfort to so many of us. Her faith was not just something she preached; it was the very essence of who she was. In every prayer she lifted, in every hand she held, and in every heart she encouraged, she left a piece of herself, a testament to the love she held for God and for each of us.
She taught us resilience and faith, not through grand sermons alone, but through the way she lived. Through the trials she faced, she showed us what it meant to lean on God, to trust even when the road seemed uncertain. Her life was a song of praise, and in that melody, we found hope, solace, and a deeper understanding of God’s grace.
Today, as we mourn, we also celebrate the life she lived and the legacy she leaves behind. We will honor her memory by carrying forward her teachings, by extending her kindness to others, and by walking in faith as she so courageously did. Though she may no longer be with us in body, her spirit remains in the lives she touched and the love she so freely gave.
Let us hold close the precious memories of Pastor Mrs., and may we find peace in knowing that she rests now in the arms of the Lord she so deeply loved. Her work on earth is complete, and heaven has gained a soul as pure as the morning light.
Pastor Mrs., thank you for being a true reflection of God’s love and for pouring out your life for His people. Your life has been a testimony, and your memory will continue to inspire us to live with the same faith and dedication you demonstrated every day. You have finished your race with honor, and though we are left to carry on without you, we do so with the strength you instilled in us. We love you, we miss you, and we will hold your legacy close in our hearts
Rest in peace, beloved Pastor. You will be missed, but your light will continue to shine in our hearts forever.

It is with a deeply saddened heart that I write this tribute for our beloved Sister Tolu. The shock of her passing still reverberates in my soul, as it was only on the very day of her departure that I sent her a voice note, unaware of the sorrowful news that awaited. Sister Tolu’s loss has left a void that is hard to express; she was truly a loving soul whose warmth and kindness enveloped everyone around her.
In a year that has already tested my strength with the loss of my father, this news feels almost unbearable. But in the midst of this pain, I remember Sister Tolu’s gentle spirit, her unwavering faith, and her quiet strength. She embodied the love and grace she shared so generously, always reaching out with a comforting word, a prayer, and a smile that lifted hearts. She was more than just the pastor's wife; she was a sister, a friend, a light to us all.
As we grieve, may we also remember the beauty she brought into our lives and hold on to the lessons she taught us through her own example of selfless love and compassion. We are comforted by the assurance that she is now at peace, resting in the arms of the Lord she loved so much.
Rest well, dear Sister Tolu. We will miss you profoundly, but your memory will live on in our hearts and in the love you left behind.

I never planned to be part of a Nigerian church, Sis Tolu's warm reception melted my heart the first day I stepped into POJ. She always called me to ask how I am settling. She treats everyone in the church like a friend, always checking up despite her tight schedules. Within a short time she made me come out of my shell. She is always everywhere, these women, these teenagers, these children must fulfil their purpose , that's Pst Mrs for you. She has left a legacy of love in the church and this legacy will live on. Though it's hard to part with your kind of personality but we are consoled heaven has gained a soul. We shall live on your legacy and POJ will ever be that love filled church in Jesus name.

Hunmmmmmm!!! It’s still very hard for me to believe you’re gone PST MRS. I’m still in shock. I can’t stop thinking or asking why?? Your voice keeps playing in my head. You were so full of life. I never go bored of you. It saddens my heart I have to type this 😭😭😭😭. I will never forget your impact. I love ❤️ you Pst Mrs as we always call you. You live on in our hearts. Till we meet again 😭

“I still can’t believe this… This is unbelievable! We met her at Lidl the other day, and she drove us home without even knowing us before. She was so friendly, nice, and helpful. I wonder why the good ones leave so early. May God give the family the strength to bear this sudden and huge loss.”
November 6, 2024
"Lawrence, I'm in a hurry. I'm rushing for a program. Please pack my stuff, I am on my way." Your smiles alone bring comfort, joy, and happiness in my life as well as many. You always encourage me, give me advice. You're fondly remembered, and may your soul rest in perfect peace. Amen 🙏 🙏 🙏

Pastor Mrs, as I fondly call, the short time we spend together can never be forgotten in an hurry, you made me stay in POJ, the Saturday night I decided to look for another Redeem church around you called at about few minutes to 11pm and there and then I knew I need to worship in POJ.
You guided me while I'm trying to settle my children in school and we are able to relate as if we've known for years, infact you once said it Sis Oyin as you fondly call me it's as if we've known for ages.
My daughter said I will miss my friend, my husband still could not believe you're gone.
We promise to keep your legacies of follow up on new members. May God give us strength.

You shined so bright that you captured everyone's smiles with your active yet intentional personality. Truly, you had so much love to share with everyone that encountered you. Continue to rest in the Lord because you won.

I am still in shock and finding it difficult to believe you have left us. What a world filled with uncertainties! Who are we to blame God? I have asked God some questions that appear rhetorical. I have had to ask God for forgiveness. But this came to me as a rude shock. I will not forget our last conversation in October, you were full of life and very jovial as usual. What baffles me about you is the love you showed me despite leaving the parish. You understood with me and encouraged me to continue to be steadfast and be in the workforce in my new parish. You would call to confirm which department I am serving in the parish. You ensured you celebrated my birthday even when I was no more a church member. I tried to resist but you refused and insisted you have to take me out to celebrate my birthday saying you have already promised me. I feel so pained and traumatised and I keep reminiscing. You relate with me as though we were siblings, you advise me as though you were my mother, you confide in me as though we were friends. Your humility is second to none. You check up on people even when it is not convenient. You are so concerned about everyone. What a rare gem you were! My constant prayer is with your husband and the kids in particular, may God give them the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss. My consolation is in the fact that you are in heaven enjoying with your maker. It is now left for the rest of us to make our ways right with God so that when death comes, we make it to heaven. Continue to rest on daughter of zion. I love you!

Pastor Mrs., during the brief time I had the privilege of knowing you, you became a mother to me. You helped me step out of my shell and mentored me in becoming a better Christian, wife, and mother. You made the difficult transition I dreaded-changing churches after marriage and building new relationships-so much easier, to the point that I now proudly call POJ my home. I am deeply grateful for everything you have done for my husband and me. Though I am still in disbelief and struggle to accept this loss, I take comfort in knowing that you are truly with the Lord.
Rest well, my beloved Pastor Mrs. I love you. ❤️❤️❤️

Pastor Mrs as we called you!!!!! My days.. I don’t even know where to start and this will never feel real but I know God knows best and only he knows why he called you home.
You were simply an amazing woman. The way you cared for others, especially the youths is something I am grateful to have witnessed.
Thank you for all you did for us whilst we were at university and even after that. Thank you for being there for us and always putting a smile on our faces.
I can’t believe I will no longer see that beautiful smile of yours, however it gives me peace to know that you are with the one who you dedicated your whole life to.
Keep dancing for the Lord.
I pray for comfort for your beautiful family and friends . I pray that the almighty father will fill any void they may be feeling.
Sleep well Pastor Mrs. ❤️

The reality of no longer seeing you is implausible! I still don’t believe this! I am speechless but God knows best!
I remembered your warm welcome when I first stepped into POJ, you made it seem like we’ve met before. Your warmth, your compliments always uplift people’s spirit and makes people feel good. I don’t even know what to write anymore….😔😔 just sad.
Continue to rest in the Lord ma’am.

Pastor Tolu, I only met you once in person during one of the single events my friend Yemi invited me to and then virtually when we had the Young Couples Talk and Mentoring when I got married. I was not a part of your church but your warmth and bubbly personality was clear for all to see and it was evident you had a heart for young people and relationships. I can only imagjne the impact you would have made on the lives of the people who knew you regularly. You will be sorely missed, thank you for sharing your wisdom and your tireless effort towards the lives of those you came into contact with. I pray the God of peace will comfort your family, loved ones and the community you have left behind and one day we will all meet in glory.
