Reverend Niyi Kevin-Israel's passing to glory is still a 'dream' I wish to wake up from.
Our discussion just three days before he breathed his last is still fresh in my memory. Baba Israel as I fondly called him, emphasised the recordings he needed to do next day (Saturday) but I responded in the presence of Mama Israel that his recovery comes first.
Such was the ruggedity of Reverend Niyi Kevin-Israel, the gentle fire.
There was never a dull moment with daddy Israel. It was always a blessing to be around him.
He served God wholeheartedly and served humanity sacrificially. He was always ready to help whoever comes his way, many times to a fault.
For the sake of the kingdom, difficult terrains became his own comfort zones.
He made it easy for anyone to understand that 'losing' one's life to Jesus is actually the real gain, both in time and eternity.
Baba Israel was an encourager of all times. He's got the shoulders to nurture wounded soldiers back to life.
I never saw him discriminate nor look down on anyone.
He taught us more about Christ through his selfless life.
His exit is very painful especially now that we need more labourers like him to reach the remaining Unreached people for the Lord.
Olori and I are consoled by the fact that you're resting in the bosom of the Lord. Your sweet memory lives in our hearts.
There is a Resurrection morning, where we shall see again.
Adiue Baba Israel, sleep on pleasant soul.
