Adieu sir. And rest in peace.
May baba soul continue to rest in peace.A remarkable man, a devoted father, and a guiding light in the lives of his children. Your legacy of love, wisdom, and kindness will forever inspire us. Rest in peace.
Daddy, though I know you briefly but I can tell from the way you acted on the sick bed that you are appreciative and hardworking. God will comfort all the family and keep all you left behind safe.
I often forget that you are ny father-in-law because you never behave like one. Every time we talked, you would always ask about everyone around me, showing genuine care and interest. It’s so unfortunate that you had to leave the stage this early. You never seemed like someone who would go so soon. Daddy P.A. like we fondly called you, words cannot fully express how deeply you will be missed. He comes out like a flower and withers, he flees like a shadow and continues not Job 14:2
Goodnight, Daddy.
I have never met you sir,but have heard good things about you especially about how God- fearing, loving and caring you are from your babby Babs.
Sun re ooo baba wa

TRIBUTE TO A BELOVED FATHER, MENTOR, AND SERVANT OF GOD
With deep sorrow, yet with hearts full of gratitude to God, we pay tribute to a truly remarkable man who lived a life of purpose, faith, and selfless service. Though he departed this world at the age of 65, his life was rich in impact, meaning, and love—an impact that will continue to echo through generations.
He was more than a family friend; he was family in every sense of the word. From our childhood years through adulthood and even to his last moments, he remained a constant pillar of support, guidance, and prayer in our lives. He walked with us through different seasons—times of joy, uncertainty, growth, and challenge—always pointing us back to God and to the values that truly matter.
One of the greatest gifts he gave our family was his unwavering spiritual covering. He made it a habit to come to our home to pray for us and for our parents. Those prayers were not rushed or casual; they were heartfelt, faith-filled, and spoken with deep conviction. He believed strongly in the power of prayer and lived it out daily. Our home was blessed because he carried the presence of God wherever he went.
His role in my life reached a profound moment when he lovingly guided my husband and me through our marriage counseling. With wisdom, patience, and godly insight, he helped lay a strong foundation for our union. He spoke with honesty, compassion, and deep understanding, reminding us that marriage is not just a commitment to one another, but a covenant before God. Today, the strength and peace in our marriage stand as living evidence of his counsel and prayers.
He was a man who genuinely loved God. His faith was not just in words but in action. He lived what he believed. His diligence, integrity, and consistency were evident in everything he did. He was disciplined yet gentle, firm yet kind, principled yet compassionate. He served God quietly but faithfully, never seeking recognition, only seeking to please God and uplift others.
To know him was to encounter wisdom wrapped in humility. To speak with him was to receive guidance seasoned with love. To walk with him was to be inspired to live better, love deeper, and trust God more. He was a mentor to many, a counselor to those in need, a spiritual father to families beyond his own, and a dependable friend to all who crossed his path.
Though his physical presence is no longer with us, his legacy remains alive. His teachings, prayers, values, and sacrifices continue to bear fruit in our lives. The seeds he sowed through faith, counsel, and love will keep growing, reminding us that a life lived for God never truly ends.
We take comfort in knowing that he has gone to rest in the bosom of the Lord he loved so dearly. Heaven has gained a faithful servant, even as we mourn a priceless loss here on earth. We will miss his visits, his prayers, his wise counsel, and his reassuring presence. Yet we rejoice, knowing that his life was well spent.
Thank you for being a blessing to our family. Thank you for walking with us, praying for us, and believing in us. Thank you for loving God and teaching us—by your life—how to do the same.
You may be gone, but your impact lives on.
Your legacy remains.
Your prayers still speak.
Your love endures.
Rest in perfect peace, dear father and mentor.
Your memory will forever be cherished.
From Charity Ayosola(Nee Falayi)
I grew up knowing Daddy as my parents’ prayer partner, a very close family friend and confidant. I truly can’t count the number of times he was instrumental in our lives and to our family as a whole. He was always there for us.
I remember how you would come around to pray. You were a very good man and an intercessor to the core. Thank you for always checking on my parents and for your constant and consistent prayers
They truly worked for us, sir.
There is so much to write because you were really there for us in many ways. Your good works will forever linger in our hearts.
It’s so painful writing this because it has hit us all so hard, but we take solace in the fact that you knew Christ and you are in a better place.
Rest in peace, sir. 🕊️
Hmmm, I can’t still believe that you have left us in this sinful word. Daddy,I will forever remember your word of advice and encouragement. P.A we love you but God loves you most, may your kind soul rest in perfect peace till we meet and part no more
My father, my Mentor, I never expect your demise in a time like this. You groomed me, supported me, encouraged me, taught me greater things, infact, I learned a lots from Dad
During our annual conventions, you took me to the power house to pray and intercede. We went together for village programmes. You contributed immensely to my growth in various areas of my life.
My amiable and indefatigable Dad, I missed you, i missed our companionship. You’ll forever be remembered, you’ll forever be in our heart ❤️.
Well! Earth loss, but heaven gain.
Good night, Dad!!!

Tribute to Pastor Ade Babalola.
I celebrated a life devoted and dedicated to God ,his service and Humanity.You are not just a pastor by title but a shepherd in character,a mentor in wisdom and a father in faith to many.
His humility is inspiring,his compassion is genuine,his burden is to see every lives transformed from the bondage of Satan ,no wondered you are a prayer warrior,an intercessors and yoke breaker.
We honour him today not only for work he has done but for who he was-a vessels of grace,a beacon of glory and a blessing to his generation .
You have fought a good fight of faith and laid hand on eternal life.
1 Timothy 6:12
Good night good solider of the Cross.
Adie pastor Ade Babalola.
Pastor Ade was strong in body spirit and soul. He was an epitome of love. He always showed concern about the challenges of others.
I found it difficult to come to terms with his passing but eventually found that the master chose to call him home knowing his work is done. Who can question the Almighty?
We will miss his compassion, commitment and gentle disposition.
Soldier of Calvary, rest on till we will meet and never part.
Title: To My Spiritual Father
”They say some people come into your life for a season, but Pastor Ade Babalola came into mine and changed my entire landscape. As my father in the Lord, he provided more than just guidance—he provided a home for my soul to grow.
I remember his quiet wisdom and late-night prayers. He had a way of correcting with love and encouraging with power. Hearing of your demise makes my heart heavy because I feel I still had so much to learn from him, but I am eternally grateful for the time we had. He was a man who truly walked with God, and today, he is walking with Him in glory.” Rest well dad we will meet again in heaven beyond where we part no more

Tribute to Pastor S.A Babalola.
The news of your departure sounds unbelievable and was shocking but God knows best.
One of my favourite memories with Pastor Babs was ony wedding day. He showed up with that warm smile and kind heart, making the day even more special.
His hospitality was topnotch. He would always ensure I’m comfortable anytime I come visiting the family.
The most fantastic of all was his dedication to the things of God. It was a testament of the kind person he was, always there for others, sharing in their joy and supporting them through life’s moments.
Continue to rest in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ.
A Heartfelt Tribute to My Beloved Father-in-Law”

TRIBUTE TO PASTOR ADE BABALOLA
(OUR DEPARTED HERO)
Pastor Ade Babalola was truly a Hero of faith and a divine gift to our generation. He showed us the way into prayer indept and a richer spiritual life, leading us into a meaningful and transformative spiritual atmosphere. Through his personal and practical examples, I learned commitment, discipline, and resolute trust in God.
He stood firmly with my group during a time of serious challenge in first Assembly, His advice gave us stability in that difficult season. He also graciously recommended me to a great religious body in Nigeria in 2014, a life changing opportunity that shaped my spiritual journey in anticipation of the future.
You left me at a moment when the most crucial decision of my life, one we carefully discussed and prayed about in 2025 was about to be taken. Yet, even in your absence, your left words of advise, wisdom and encouragement will continue to guide me. The seeds you planted in my life remain alive even when you are know more.
To the family, the words from my heart are not enough to express my feelings, may God comfort your hearts and reward you for sharing such a devoted servant of God with the world. May He strengthen you and fill the space he left behind with His peace that surpasses understanding.
To the entire Gofamint church particularly Irenitemi Assembly, take courage and remain steadfast. The legacy of Pastor Ade Babalola lives on through the lives he touched and the faith he built in us. Let us honour his memory by continuing in prayer, unity, and unwavering devotion to God.
His impact will never be forgotten. May his soul rest in perfect peace.

Wow,
What an unexpected lost.
A GENERAL TO BE REMEMBER.
forever in our hearts.
TRIBUTE TO A GREAT MAN OF GOD
I received the news of your demise while painfully in the service of songs of one classmate who was also dear to me. It was really a combination of sorrow.
We were together labouring in God’s vineyard for decades, yet have never seen you quarrelling with anyone.
Your gentle smiles at every conversation settles every issue.
You served God wholeheartedly without asking for rewards and you were also contented in everything.
Space will not allow me to eulogize your virtues, but let me summerize by saying that you were gentle, respectful, loving, caring, faithful, hardworking, devoted and highly principled.
Why I was not broken by your departure is the assurance that we shall still meet again at the resurrection morning.
Rest on dear friend and fellow Pastor until we meet to part no more.
Pastor Stephen Olu Fapetu.
Daddy,
The news of your demise came as a shock. It is painful to us but we thank God for your life, you are now at rest from your toils on earth.
Memories of how you have impacted us through various means lingers on in our heart, as teenagers, you encouraged our drama ministrations by giving us the platform. You supported our programmes from time to time. You counseled on several occasion.
Thank you, Daddy for all the investment upon us, we are growing in the faith, we are holding the banner high.
In such a time as this, we take solace in the Lord, we rejoice in all of your labour, we bless God that you are resting from your toils. I pray for your immidiate family that the Lord will uphold and comfort them.
Adieu, Beloved Pastor Ade Babalola.
Till we meet at Jesus’ feet.

Pastor Babalola,I can’t forget all your attitude towards everyone you come across in life ,we meet in 2003 since then we worked together in His vine yard

May God condole the family, friends, church and the body of Christ
A great father with a heart of gold, you had a unique gift for making everyone feel loved, heard, and value. You were a very caring and compassionate individual, an evangelist who dedicated his life to spreading the love of God, a man who correct in love.
My heart is so heavy today, but I thank the Lord for everything. I take comfort in his promise, knowing fully that we will see each other again on the resurrection morning.
Ibe Omowunmi
Irenitemi Assembly
Though your demise is still amazing and disheartening, but no one can question God and glory to God for a life well spent in Christ. I entered Gofamint as a small child then, knowing you as my first pastor in Gofamint. Daddy, I learnt a lot from you that many people didn’t know then as a child then. The way you prayed earnestly shaking your head, your undiluted word of God and the rest. It gotten to a time I started praying as you prayed. Shaking my heads as a child then. Your stand for holiness helped me too then, as a child growing up.
Also, I can say it emphatically that up till now, I haven’t seen a pastor that do visit church members and pray with them as you did then . Your humility and accommodation is beyond description. A spiritual father full of love , rest on in the Lord daddy. We are all missing you.
Since I met with pastor Babalola Samuel’s family (my daddy) from 2015, Daddy was so good to me despite of my lifeless life then without no hope,no helpers in Ondo, daddy and mummy took me in as one of their family without knowing where I came from, they encouraged me and gave me more hope on my ministry, daddy never looked down on me despite he Knew everything about my life, he gave me money, food , prayed for me and my ministry, encouraged me about my ministry. Many of daddy’s prophecy came to pass in my life and my ministry and surely when God started his work in my single life, I got a job at FCMB bank, after some years, I met a lady who happened to be one of daddy’s church member, I told daddy about her, daddy called two of us and interviewed us without any bias, daddy told us that we should go and pray about it before going to courtship, after we were convinced by the holy spirit, daddy guided us through our courtship and we did our wedding where daddy pastored, today our marriage is blessed with Heavenly blessing children, a house and more. I will personally miss you daddy because you always guide me and mentor me in my ministry. You are a general in the work of God, a realistic man who we can never find with lies, a man of action, faith, boldness, eloquence and prayer. I don’t know that your journey will go so fast when I saw you last before they took you to Lagos hospital for treatment. I don’t know that you have finished your assignment on earth.
Sun re oo Bami,
My daddy as I always call you
You are a part of my life story and my family, I will always remember you, my daddy.
Continue to rest in peace daddy
From Pastor Adelokiki Segun Elijah

I Akinnubi oluwatoyin
With heavy hearts and deep gratitude, i remember my Godfather and mentor ,a true father and shepherd to many. He lived a life filled with faith, love, and compassion, and his gentle words, “It is well,” brought comfort to us in every season. He had a special love for children, always welcoming them with warmth and joy, and teaching them with patience and kindness.
As a devoted father and pastor in Orisumbare Church, he guided us with wisdom and prayer, always leading by example. His presence was a blessing, his counsel a gift, and his love unwavering.
Though we grieve his passing, we hold on to the beautiful legacy he left behind a legacy of faith and kindness that will live forever in our hearts. Rest peacefully, Baamii. It is well.
Man of God you are ready to listen to every body problems and you ready to use your time and energy to pray and fast, nobody can question Almighty God may God continue to be with your family and the church of God good night.
