  • Tears, triumph as ‘Daddy of million babies’ is laid to rest

    Tears, triumph as ‘Daddy of million babies’ is laid to rest

    It was a day drenched in tributes, memories, and quiet celebration of a life, many described as a divine gift to humanity, at the headquarters of Laughter Foundation International Ministry in Lagos, where friends, pastors, church leaders, and well-wishers gathered to honour the late Pastor Moses Gbenga Oso, fondly called God’s General and Daddy of a Million Babies.

    Pastor Oso, whose ministry became a refuge of hope for countless families believing God for children, passed away on November 4.

    His funeral service, which was held in his honour, yesterday, elicited a flurry of emotions as  influential Christian leaders and admirers spoke about how he touched their lives either directly or through his widely respected intercessory ministry.

    Among those in attendance were Pastor Folu Adeboye’s representative, Rev. Mrs. Bimpe Adelaja; the Provost of the Redeemed Bible School, Pastor Rotimi Alaba; the General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), Dr. Daniel Olukoya, represented by Pastor Kehinde Abiodun; and several leaders of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), including Kosofe Coordinator, Apostle Joshua Olaoye.

    Also present were children’s ministers from several churches, teachers from schools across Nigeria, the Harvesters International Outreach Church family, Deacon Funmi Komolafe, and countless members whose testimonies formed the backbone of Pastor Oso’s legacy.

    A service marked by worship and reflection

    The atmosphere thickened with emotion as the MFM Guitar Choir rendered a soul-lifting performance, followed by Evangelist Bisade Philip’s solemn song ‘Tell My Father I Will Be There,’   left the congregation in reflective silence as many wiped away their tears.

    At the event, Pastor Abiodun, delivered a moving message that doubled as a tribute and a wake-up call.

    He prayed for Pastor Oso’s family, the ministry he left behind, and the thousands who considered him a spiritual father.

    “We are proud of him,” he said. “May the Lord fill every vacuum he has left behind. To his children, the heights your father wished to take you to—God Himself will carry you there.”

    He encouraged the church not to fear the future, declaring that the Laughter Foundation International Ministry would not die, but continue to flourish.

    A message on the fragility of life

    Abiodun’s sermon soon shifted from tribute to deep spiritual reflection. Preaching passionately, he reminded the congregation of the inevitability of death, rapture, and the second coming of Christ—three certainties, he said, every believer must prepare for.

    “Death is a passage to eternity,” he said. “If you live rightly while you breathe, you will end up with your Maker. But if you do not live rightly, death may catch you unprepared.”

    He urged attendees to live intentionally, settle unresolved matters daily, examine their spiritual lives regularly, and avoid procrastinating repentance or reconciliation.

    “It is not everyone who falls sick before they die,” he added. “Some die in their sleep, on the road, even while eating. So live every day as if tomorrow may not come.”

    His words struck a chord as many sat in quiet meditation—some nodding, others staring into space as if replaying the sermon within themselves.

    Legacy etched in the lives he touched

    Pastor Moses Oso’s ministry, widely known for praying into existence babies for women seeking the fruit of the womb, earned him the affectionate title ‘Daddy of a Million Babies.’

    Many in attendance recounted stories of impossible situations turned around after encountering his ministry.

    “He lived a full life,” Pastor Abiodun said. “A life poured out in service. A life that did not die in vain.”

    In her tribute, the wife of the late Pastor Oso, Mrs. Dorcas Ikeola Oso, spoke through tears as she remembered her husband’s unwavering devotion to God and humanity.

    “You stopped so suddenly, with your task unfinished,” she said. “I always noticed the urgency with which you poured your entire life into the service of God. Your dedication to people was deeply sacrificial. I never disturbed you—I supported you in every way I could, at home, financially, and in ministry. God knows best.”

    She described him as a man whose love remained constant and deeply felt.

    “Keep resting in the bosom of your Maker,” she continued. “Your love remains fresh in my heart. I love you… but God loves you most. I know you are now in a better place. Until we meet again in the heavenly land—where we will know each other and part no more. Rest on, sweetheart.”

    His firstborn son, Paul Oso, reflected on the weight of his father’s impact—one that will continue to live in the hearts he touched.

    “I feel the weight of a full life—yours—and the piece of it that lives in all of us,” he said. “You were a giver. You gave, and then you gave some more. Sometimes loudly, sometimes quietly, but always with intention. You carried your family the best way you knew how—protecting, providing, and showing your love in ways that were uniquely yours.”

    Deacon Segun Dipe also paid glowing tribute to Pastor Oso’s enduring legacy, recalling his commitment to service and generosity.

    “Since 2019, every Sunday, every member of the church has been fed,” he noted. “He had even paid for the feeding for the Sunday after he passed on. His commitment to putting smiles on people’s faces is legendary; we will keep his good works alive.”

    At about 1:30pm, the coffin was wheeled out, and family members tearfully bade their final farewell, it became clear that while Pastor Oso is gone, his legacy—etched deeply in testimonies, families, and transformed destinies—will continue to echo for generations.

    The sun dipped slowly as the service ended, but in the hearts of many, the light of Pastor Oso’s impact only glowed brighter.

    Baba Aladura awakens legacy of Moses Orimolade on stage

    The story of St. Moses Orimolade Tunolase, the revered founder of the Cherubim & Seraphim Church, came alive in Lagos on November 8, as “Baba Aladura: Moses Orimolade Odyssey” premiered at Terra Kulture to an enthusiastic audience.

    The stage play-musical retraces Orimolade’s remarkable spiritual journey, leadership influence, and lasting legacy within Nigeria’s religious landscape. Directed by Makinde Adeniran, the production blended energetic performances, traditional music, and immersive storytelling to capture key moments from Orimolade’s life.

    Executive producer and convener, Samuel Ogunyooye, said the project was inspired by the need to document and celebrate the origins of the C&S Church in a way no other denomination has attempted.

    “No religious body in Nigeria has really come out to drive the origin of their church like this. That is why we are the first. We began with a documentary titled Anathema, and instead of going straight to film, we chose live theatre. This is how seriously we take Baba Aladura,” he said.

    Actor Toyin Osinaike, who served as the production’s narrator, noted that the story holds relevance beyond entertainment.

    “As an actor, I realised Moses Orimolade did far more than many people know. This is not just about celebrating him; it is also about correcting the societal anomalies we see today,” he said.

    With its fusion of history, culture, and spiritual reflection, the premiere resonated deeply with the audience. Many left the theatre inspired by the enduring legacy of St. Moses Orimolade and the cultural richness of the C&S Church.

    Gospel music icon,  Evangelist Ojo Ade, praised Prophet Olaomo’s steadfastness and simplicity, describing him as “a holy and faithful man of God.

    “He is someone God is working with. He lives a good life and does not add to the word of God. He gives his best and follows God’s direction,” he said.

    “My advice to younger pastors is to stay in the love of God and avoid the rush of this generation. Stay faithful to the undiluted word of God.”

    The General Overseer of Christ Grace and Glory Assembly, Pastor Joseph Afolayan, also spoke glowingly of Prophet Olaomo, emphasizing his humility and rare ability to relate with both the high and the low.

  • Ashimolowo, Aboyeji charge young ministers on biblical depth, sound doctrine

    Ashimolowo, Aboyeji charge young ministers on biblical depth, sound doctrine

    At the Convocation Ceremony of Life Theological Seminary, Ikorodu, Lagos,  renowned cleric and founder of Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC), Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo, delivered a stirring charge to young Christians and emerging pastors, stressing the urgent need for deep biblical knowledge in an age dominated by social media.

    He made this known at the  2025 Convocation ceremony of Life Theological Seminary, Ikorodu, Lagos, which took place at the Seminary’s premises, where the best graduating students were awarded not only certificates, but also given cash awards.

    Categories of graduating students include those who obtained certificates, diplomas, Bachelor of Theology, Master of Theology in various fields, including Doctor of Ministry, as well as Doctor of Philosophy.

    Reflecting on his first encounter with the seminary 49 years ago, Ashimolowo described Life Theological Seminary as a ‘balanced institution,’ then and now, applauding its consistency and growth over the decades. “Life Theological Seminary was balanced when I came 49 years ago. It is still balanced,” he said.

    He warned that the ease of preaching and online popularity should not be mistaken for pastoral competence.

    “Don’t just assume that because you can preach and do shabbalabala that you can pastor a church,” he cautioned. “There are very deep questions members will ask you. And if you don’t know how to rightly divide the word of truth, you can create problems.”

    According to him, social media has become “a space containing the good, the bad, and the ugly,” making it even more important for ministers to be grounded in sound doctrine.

    He expressed concern that many young preachers rely heavily on borrowed sermons and trends without a solid theological foundation.

    “Some of the pastors we are celebrating on social media have only garnered messages from others but cannot defend them,” he said.

    “Ask some of them serious questions about the Trinity, and they will struggle. They become afraid when confronted by Muslims because they cannot explain basic doctrines.”

    Ashimolowo, who clocked 70 this year, encouraged young ministers—regardless of their academic background—to pursue formal theological education.

    “You have your degree in astrophysics, chemistry, and God has called you. Fantastic. But after you gather the crowd, you need to feed the people of God,” he said. “If all you are doing is going online and gathering sermons, you will end up eating in all the spiritual bookers. You need to know the food to feed your people.”

    Ashimolowo further stressed that spiritual leadership requires more than charisma. “I can’t carry a knife and begin to do physical surgery. Spiritual surgery is tougher. Get education,” he urged.

    In his words, the General Overseer, Foursquare Gospel Church Nigeria, Rev. Sam Aboyeji, has given kudos to Life Theological Seminary for its steadfastness, towering tall and strong in advancing the course of theological education in Nigeria.

    Aboyeji gave kudos to the management of the Seminary and said he looked forward to better performances after celebrating its 70th Anniversary. 

    “In the near future, I believe that the new leadership of Life with the coming in of Rev. Emmanuel Adejoro as New Provost will be able to align with modern techniques” he said.

    He applauded the outgoing Provost of the institution, Prof. Cletus Orgu, for his outstanding, enviable and productive leadership in the last twenty years.

    He further remarked that his two decades at the helm of affairs of the Seminary had produced visible, tangible and undeniable results in infrastructure, staff and personnel development, students’ outstanding achievements, diaspora recognition and affiliation, among others, adding that there was no doubt that he has served diligently and meritoriously
