Rev. Niyi Adebayo Delivers Profound Message at Wake-Keep Service for Dr. Moses Korede Are-Calvary
At a solemn wake-keep service honoring the late Dr. Moses Korede Are-Calvary, Rev. Niyi Adebayo delivered a powerful and thought-provoking message, urging attendees to reflect on their lives and the legacy they will leave behind. The service was attended by family, friends, and well-wishers, all gathered to pay tribute to Dr. Moses’ impactful life and contributions.
A notable testimony shared during the event highlighted Dr. Moses’ dedication to spreading the gospel through recorded video messages. Rev. Niyi emphasized the importance of ensuring that these messages reach a wider audience than they did during his lifetime. He underscored the collective responsibility of continuing Dr. Moses’ legacy and preserving his influence for future generations.
Rev. Niyi pointed out that while some individuals live beyond a century without making a lasting impact, Dr. Moses lived a remarkable 59 years filled with purpose and influence. He reminded attendees of the unpredictability of life and the inevitability of death, stressing the importance of making every moment meaningful.
He outlined two fundamental principles for leading an impactful life:
- Renounce the works of darkness – Encouraging repentance from secret sins and a commitment to righteousness.
- Embrace Christ fully – Advocating for a Christ-centered life that leaves no space for ungodly influences.
Addressing the congregation, Rev. Niyi urged family and friends to reflect on their interactions with Dr. Moses and strive to uphold his values and work. He reinforced the necessity of spiritual preparedness, calling for an earnest commitment to righteousness.
Using a travel analogy, Rev. Niyi shared a personal experience at an airport. He recounted how he was eager to embark on a journey and had informed many about his trip. However, upon arrival at the airport, he was directed to a verification room where he discovered that his ticket was merely a reservation, unlike his friends who had confirmed bookings. Through this illustration, he highlighted the distinction between merely attending church (having a reservation ticket) and truly embracing Christ (holding a confirmed booking ticket). He cautioned that while some will attain eternal life, others will face eternal separation.
The wake-keep service was a poignant reminder of the brevity of life and the necessity of living with purpose. Rev. Niyi’s message left a lasting impact, urging all present to reflect on their spiritual journey, commit to righteousness, and ensure their readiness for eternity.
