Pastor E.A. Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God spoke at the Funeral / Commendation Service of Rev. Dr. Obiora Ezekiel, Founding Pastor of Christian Pentecostal Mission International.
According to Church Gist, he revealed that he was ordained a Pastor in 1975 and this is the third time since 1975 that he will be preaching at a funeral. “I think that should summarize my feeling, my respect for our brother who has gone to rest,” he said. He said that he met him a little more than 40 years ago when he had just become the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God and he was living in a room in Mushin. He said that he had never met him before but he came to Mushin, located his one-room apartment, and visited Him.
“I don’t need to tell you what then was my reaction but we became very, very close,” he continued. He said that he knew Brother Ezekiel who became known as the Bulldozer. Many don’t know the meaning of that name, but he was a terror to demons, he bulldozed them. He said that he knew a man who was like the great masquerade, a man he would describe to you as a very generous man. He was generous to a fault. “Throughout his lifetime maybe I preached three times in his Church but I can’t remember how many times I had visited him one on one at home,” he said.
