The Former General Overseer of the Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria, Revd Dr. Wilson Adebogun BADEJO has died at the age of 74. This was contained in an official statement from the headquarters of the church located in yaba, Lagos state Nigeria which was signed by the National Secretary of the church. Late Rev BADEJO served as the general Overseer of the church between 1999 and 2009. He's a highly revered man of God who, during his lifetime was regarded as one of the greatest leader of the church of God in the country.

A SPIRITUAL COLOSSUS JOINS THE SAINTS TRIUMPHANT

"We are confident I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." 2 Corinthians 5:8 KJV
The Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria announces with a deep sense of loss but in total submission to the will of Almighty God, the transition to eternal glory of our dearly beloved father in the Lord, former General Overseer and faithful steward of the Most-High God, Rev. Dr. Wilson Adebogun Badejo, aged 74years.
Rev. Dr. Badejo went to be with the Lord in the early hours of Saturday August 7, 2021. He was a great achiever, an accomplished servant of God, a role model, a bridge builder, a quintessential ecclesiastical frontline leader, a gifted orator, a trail blazer, mentor, teacher per excellence, an apostle and respected family man.

Dr. Badejo served the Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria in several ministerial capacities, crowning his stewardship at the apex as the General Overseer of the Church from 1999 to 2009. He was a man of many parts who was able to unlock socio-cultural gateways, and in the process successfully endeared several friends and loved ones from all works of life across the divide.

As a Church, we are greatly saddened by this heart-rending loss but quick to encourage everyone to take solace in the fact that our father in the Lord lived a fulfilling, God-fearing and impactful life while on this side of eternity, leaving behind an indelible mark in the heart of everyone who came his way.
At this trying time, we call for prayers for the family of our departed father and for the Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria, while also soliciting needed respect for the privacy of the W.A. Badejo family as they draw strength from above to sail through this season.

Esteemed regards,
Rev. Yomi Oyinloye National Secretary.

T.K.O for another Daddy G.O.

I wonder why they're dying younger than their seniors who are not even as holy as them yet gearing up for the next Presidential election in 2023.

What's wrong with Nigeria. Everyone is just dying. Lord have mercy o

May his soul rest in peace

Many more will still die between now and 2023. God is doing some work in his house and in Nigeria in general. Many people sha will not understand

How can he be said to have joined the saints when all those dead in Christ, are sleeping in their graves awaiting the return of Jesus Christ, who will then judge each man's work to then separate saints from sinners in the end - Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46?

Three Nigerian pastors dead in less than a year . May God have mercy

Ok.

Rest on

Edited: After listening to the testimonies from fellow Nairalanders about Rev. Badejo, I began to question myself about my opinions of him. I did a little research and found out that Rev Badejo was not the G.O in charge during the events I witnessed. I sincerely and humbly apologize to his family, friends and fellow Christians. There is no excuse for my carelessness. And I will like to express my appreciation to the Nairalanders below who challenged my opinion and forced me to do a re-think and realize my error. Thank you for holding my feet to the fire. Iron sharpens Iron. And without your pushback I may not have arrived at the truth. May the Gentle Soul of the dearly departed Rev. Badejo rest in peace. May the family he left behind find unlimited favor before humans and God. And may those of us who are left behind be found worthy when our time comes.

Do you know his heart, what contain there in (in KJ words)I, or what rules he was subjected to?Judge not bro. Jesus knows the heart of all men and the motive behind their actions. He knows what are done in secrets , nothing at all is hidden from Him. Only Jesus shall judge all flesh

U are regurgitating what you were told. DOs are very powerful in Foursquare. If the DO was really impactful, his members will rally around his family..

Are you the judge? If not keep your mouth safe

Olayemitemitope:
You should mind your statement towards the Man of God, either is man of devil nothing concern you, you are not the one to judge him, are you God? Are you the one that called him? Why are you judging him? While Bible said that we should not judge, so that we will not be judged.Daddy Badejo, May Your Gentle Soul Rest in Perfect Peace

Rest in peace Pastor, May God comfort the bereaved family!

there isn't controversy in Christianity and The Bible only human misinterprets.

Sleep on our Daddy in The Lord.

What figure of speech would that be?

Rip GO.. Saw this Man few months ago he was looking so healthy
Not knowing that death is lurking somewhere.
Death na turn by turn

YungMillionaire:
I know this man. He was not a good man. He treated his district overseers very poorly. One of the district overseers died and his family was never catered for under this useless g.o. No RIP to him. May he rot in hell where he belongs.

very harsh of you
Let GOD be the judge.

My condolences to the family. Epicurus once said;
"Why should I be afraid of death for when it exist, I am not and when I exist, it is not. So why should I be afraid of that which exist when I am not?"

The religious will remind you of the afterlife, which in addition I will agree with Epicurus that "we shouldn't be afraid of death" and with the boy scout slogan.... 'Be prepared'
Bear that in mind.
