Deacon Julius Olufemi Oke, a former Senior Deputy Registrar and Head of the WAEC International Office, Lagos, was laid to rest in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State.
According to reports, Oke passed away on November 20 of this year.
Last year, Oke left WAEC.
On Thursday, the deceased’s remains were dedicated to Mother Earth in Ibadan.
In front of friends, family, and coworkers, he was laid to rest in tears.
The dead, according to Pastor Kehinde Ajibola, the leading pastor of Christ Life Church International, Covenant Cathedral, Ibadan, was a helpful person.
During his lecture titled “The next minute after death,” Ajibola reassured the deceased’s immediate family and friends that they should not be afraid.
He claimed that because of his good deeds on earth and his own contact with the Lord as a born-again Christian, the deceased had gone to rest with God.
According to Ajibola, who based his sermon on Second Corinthians 5–10, the deceased was a guy who, during his life, was close to both his family and the church.
However, he revealed that his departure will be felt because he left a void at home and in the church that might not be immediately filled.
“We are always confident that he who believes in Christ shall never die, and that faith is the oxygen of God’s life,” he declared. “The word of God has given us sufficient information that whoever dies in Christ is alive.”
In her tribute, Mrs. Oluwatoyin Oke, the deceased’s wife, characterized her husband as a devoted and kind father to his kids and the entire family.
“My baby boy, I am glad you made a huge impact on your generation and your legacy is eternal,” she remarked. You and your Creator are undoubtedly in the limelight.
“Femi, your love was my refuge; it was a unique gift of the highest kind. I will always be grateful to God for granting me the honor of being your wife, even though there aren’t enough words to express the profound influence you had on me as a priceless husband.
