All Tributes & Words of Honor

"Pastor Theo, You gave your life to serve the Lord, and because of your obedience, many of us came to know the Lord more deeply. You are a true example of someone who gave up everything to live wholeheartedly for Christ. Thank you for every sacrifice you made so that we could learn the Word and experience the power of the Holy Spirit. I still remember the first time I heard you preach about the grace of God. I was in university, and that message moved me to tears. Since then, the truth that God's grace is sufficient has stayed with me. It has carried me through many seasons, and I continue to hold onto that promise. Thank you for being a father, a leader, and a mentor. Your life has impacted so many, and we will continue to testify of what God has done through you. Shine on, Superstar. Thank you, Pastor Tee. Sister Dee"

"A Tribute to My Pastor, Mentor, and Father in Faith In Loving Memory of Pastor Theophillus Owase There are some people whose impact on our lives cannot be adequately measured by words. They come into our lives as teachers, mentors, leaders, and guides, but with time, they become much more than that they become part of the story of who we are. For me, Pastor Theophillus Owase was one of those rare people. It is difficult to find the right words to describe what his life and leadership have meant to me. Even in this moment of grief, I find myself more grateful than sorrowful for the privilege of having known him, worked with him, and learned from him. Pastor, your leadership was not simply about giving instructions; it was about shaping people. Your continuous guidance, correction, mentorship, and encouragement have contributed greatly to the person I am becoming today. There were moments when your corrections were difficult to receive, but with the passage of time, I have come to understand that they were never rooted in criticism. They were rooted in love, growth, and your desire to see me become better. You taught me that excellence is not accidental. You taught me to pay attention to the little things, to remain focused, to be responsible, and to approach every assignment with purpose. Through your leadership, I learned that what we do matters, and that our lives should be lived intentionally. But beyond being my pastor and leader, you were someone who genuinely cared about me. Your love towards me as a staff member and as a member of the church was one of the things that touched me most deeply. It was a love that was not dependent on perfection. It was patient, corrective, encouraging, and unconditional. You believed in people, and I was privileged to experience that belief personally. Your life also deepened my relationship with God. Through your teachings, your example, your discipline, and the way you carried the responsibility of leadership, you helped me understand that serving God is more than words. It is a life of character, sacrifice, discipline, obedience, and impact. You taught me to think beyond myself. You taught me to live a life of impact, focus, and purpose. You reminded me, directly and indirectly, that the measure of a life is not merely in how long it is lived, but in what is accomplished through it and in the lives that are changed along the way. Today, as I look back, I realize that many of the lessons you taught me will continue to speak long after your voice has become silent. Your corrections will continue to guide me. Your counsel will continue to influence my decisions. Your example will continue to challenge me to become better. And the love you showed me will remain a precious part of my story. You may no longer be here physically to correct me, guide me, or ask me to do better, but the seeds you planted in me are still alive. And I pray that my life will become evidence that your investment in me was not in vain. Pastor, thank you. Thank you for leading me. Thank you for correcting me. Thank you for mentoring me. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for teaching me to serve with purpose. Thank you for helping me grow in my relationship with God. Thank you for showing me that leadership is not merely a position, but a responsibility to build others. Your departure in July has left a space that cannot easily be filled. Yet, I take comfort in knowing that a life that touched so many people can never truly be forgotten. I will carry your lessons with me. I will carry your corrections with me. I will carry your love with me. And, most importantly, I will carry the values you instilled in me into every place life takes me. I pray that the life I live from this point forward will honour the investment you made in me. You were my pastor, my leader, my mentor, and a father in faith. And for the privilege of knowing you, I will forever be grateful. Rest well, Highly esteemed Pastor Theophillus Owase. Your voice may have fallen silent, but your lessons will continue to speak through the lives you touched. Your legacy lives on."

"A TRIBUTE TO MY DEARLY BELOVED BROTHER AND FRIEND Pastor Theophilus Owase My dearly beloved brother and friend, It is difficult to write a tribute for you at a time like this. Words seem inadequate to express the depth of what you meant to me and to so many whose lives you touched. Yet, the life of impact, love, compassion, and selflessness you demonstrated will never be forgotten—not even in centuries to come. I remember vividly how you stood by me in 2023, when I was preparing to get married. You stepped into the gap when family and friends could not, and you became a tremendous source of strength and encouragement to me. You constantly called to check on me, guiding me through every stage and ensuring that everything was put in place for the success of the wedding. Your financial support was also a major blessing to me. You gave not merely from what you had, but from a heart filled with genuine love and concern. On the day of my wedding, I can still remember how you travelled down to join us in church, despite the demands of your schedule and all the odds that could have prevented you from coming. You came simply to demonstrate that “liquid love” that flowed so freely from you to everyone around you. That is the kind of man Pastor Theophilus Owase was. Loving. Compassionate. Selfless. Ever-supportive. A true brother and friend. Your life preached a sermon that words could never fully capture. You showed us that love is not merely something we say—it is something we demonstrate through our presence, sacrifices, generosity, and willingness to stand with others when they need us most. Pastor Theo, I am deeply grateful that God allowed our paths to cross. I am grateful for your friendship, your brotherhood, your counsel, your support, and every expression of love you showed me. Though my heart is heavy, I choose to remember you with gratitude for a life that made a difference. I LOVE YOU, SIR. Your impact lives on in the hearts of the many people you touched. Rest in the Lord, dear brother and friend. SEE YOU AGAIN AT THE RESURRECTION DAY. Until then, your memory remains a blessing."

"All I can say is thank you Sir. I wasn't close to Pastor but his message helped me love triumphantly in my darkest days in Uni. When I became a PCF leader, Pastor called me asking me my target for Sunday service as a new pcf leader and I told him 25. He said " you must be joking" and quickly I said " 100 Sir", and the next thing he said was " that's good" I became with 50 first timer that sund day minus the 10 members in the pcf. Pastor Sir, thank you for showing me what it means by the just shall live by faith. I watched how you love people, even those that were closed to you. I was touch and I love my member, even church members as my family, because the truly are!!!"

"this sooooo painful but in all things we give thanks. Thank you for exceptional life of service. good night esteemed Pastor"

"Today, I write with a heart filled with deep sorrow, yet I am grateful to God for the privilege of knowing and sharing life with you while in Kogi state university Zone A.. It was through you I became a pastor and was anointed sir . You were not just a pastor to me but a mentor, a source of encouragement, and a true blessing to my life pastor sir . Your words, your kindness, your faith, and your passion for the things of God touched so many lives, including mine. It is difficult to believe that you have gone to be with the Lord. Your departure has left a void that words cannot fully describe. There are memories of your laughter, your counsel, your prayers, and the moments we shared that I will forever carry in my heart. You taught us by your words, but even more by your life. You demonstrated what it means to serve God wholeheartedly, love people sincerely, and remain faithful to the calling of God. Sleep on dear pastor Theo, you fought a good fight , you kept the faith , you finished race.."forever in my heart"

"Thank you for the lives you have touched, impacted and changed! Many who crossed paths with you have unending stories of you influence and benevolence in their lives! Your life here, in this plane of life called EARTH was indeed impactful! Keep RESTING PERFECTLY IN THE BLOSSOM OF LORD , TILL WE ALL MEET AGAIN. Dear ESTEEMED PASTOR THEO!"

"I’m honestly short of words, Pastor Sir. While on Campus at BLW Ogwashi-Uku, you believed so much in me. You would always say, “Sis Sandra, you can do it. God has given you the grace; you have all that you require to make it happen.” Those words gave me strength and confidence. Your teachings, guidance, and love made my work as a pastor on Campus possible. I will never forget our early morning prayers and how, after meetings, you would ask, “Where is Sis Sandra?” 🥹 Those little moments meant so much to me. Thank you, Sir, for believing in me, loving me, and loving BLW Ogwashi-Uku. It was a privilege to serve, work, and grow under your leadership. We will truly miss you, Pastor Sir. Thank you for being a blessing and for leaving such a beautiful impact on our lives. ❤️"

"Tribute to a Consummate man. My first encounter with the highly Esteemed Pastor Theo was in 2018 as we prepared for “A Night to remember redefined with Pastor Chike” in Calabar, I had been sent to go mount a billboard banner on the most prominent billboard at the then CRUTECH Calabar gate and the school management declined, when I came back to give the report Pastor Theo picked up a stone and said “I will break your head now, why will you bring back an evil report, my friend go back and mount that billboard!!” As I ran away strange courage covered me and I walked straight to the VC’s office and got it done, that day I saw stubborn faith in person for the first time, no one shares God's Word with power like Pastor Theo, he was so fond of me and would always counsel me to live and do the word irrespective of circumstances, we weren’t so close but his life of Faith, discipline, authority and Word-based responses to every situation impacted me in no small way. I will always Love and celebrate you Sir, enjoy Heaven Sir, till we meet again in the sky."

"f there's any single thing I learned from the Man of God Pastor Theophilus Owase, it was this... LOVE. Being someone who had seen the wickedness and selfishness of man even in close quarters, God used him to change my life, not with results (results are by-products), but by...LOVE. He taught and SHOWED me to forgive, and to LOVE. will describe your CHIEF lesson to me in only these verses... MATTHEW 5:38-48"

"TRIBUTE TO MY BELOVED PST. THEO Pst. T, as we all fondly called you, you were truly a gallant soldier of our great Kingdom. You were passionate and busy with the Master’s business in reaching souls and building the saints! You had a calm and quiet demeanour, yet wild and loud in the Spirit! You were love personified. You were never too busy to care, and never too pressured to warrant you using harsh or demeaning words on anyone. Your impact goes beyond the memories we have of you. Your labour in the Kingdom, your love for souls, your commitment to building the saints, and the lives you touched will continue to speak for you. I love you, as always, Pst. T! Efe Daniel Irelen"

He taught and SHOWED me to forgive, and to LOVE. I will describe your CHIEF lesson to me in only these verses... MATTHEW 5:38-48 Dear sir, You loved, even unto your passing. YOU LOVED. So today, again, I forgive. From this moment, I forgive and love everyone, myself first, but preferring others. Let it be known unto all... no matter the past, history or experience, I now have NO RECORD OR OUGHT about any displeasure of the past or with anyone, for indeed... I AM BORN AGAIN, by the Grace of God. Amen."

"🕊Farewell to a Father and MY FATHER. A Raiser of Giants,a man of radical faith and focus. I watched you live the Scripture, I saw you win daily and change Lives. My life is a testimony of your impactful life. You Pastored,mentored and fathered me. I prospered in you your hand indeed. I came to you as nothing much. Nobody really believed in me but you believed in me. You loved me, you chastised me,you pruned me. From a "nothing much" Bro Heritage, you began to train me with an iron hand; You made me a fellowship coordinator, and began to believe in me and trained me much more, you made me a Pastorial nominee and I became a Pastor and then you made me a Group Pastor and today I am a Zonal Secretary. Indeed I prospered by the Prophesying of Pastor Theophilus Owase like in Ezra 6vs 14. I Celebrate Your impactful life, We Your Children are your Legacy and we carry on your vision, passion and work. Pastor Sir,I think of you everyday. i miss you, i love you. Keep Resting and enjoying your labour, till we meet in the morning after the rapture.🕊🕊"

"My Dearest and Esteemed Pastor I count it a profound privilege and a blessing to have encountered you in the final year of my journey at Ambrose Alli University. What I thought was merely an opportunity to meet a great man became, in retrospect, a divine encounter—one that left an indelible mark on my life. You spoke words of greatness into my life, words that were not merely encouraging at the time but prophetic declarations that I have continued to see unfold before my very eyes. One statement that has remained deeply engraved in my heart is when you told me that I am a global player. Today, I look at my journey and I can boldly testify that those words have become part of my experience. Your words gave me a picture of what God was making me, even at a time when I could not fully see it myself. You were a vessel through whom I encountered God's Word in its purity. You did not merely preach the Word; you lived it, carried it, and made it tangible to those privileged to come around you. Being in your presence was refreshing. There was a grace, a depth, and a fatherly love that made one feel both challenged to grow and strengthened to become all that God had ordained. You were more than a pastor to me—you were a father. And though my heart is heavy because you are no longer with us physically, I find comfort in the truth of Scripture: “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”Your departure may have taken you from our physical sight, but it cannot erase the impact of your life, your ministry, your words, and the legacy you have left in the hearts of those you touched. You still live on—in the lives you transformed, in the destinies you helped awaken, in the words you spoke, and in the countless people who encountered Christ through you. You will forever remain my beloved father, my pastor, and one of the precious vessels God used to speak greatness into my life. I carry your words with me, and I carry them with deep reverence. I love you so much, Sir And today, I make this promise—not merely to you, but to the God whom you served with all your heart: every single word you spoke over my life will find its full expression. I will become all that God has ordained me to become. I will go where those words said I would go. I will become the global player you saw long before I fully understood what it meant. Your voice may be silent to my ears, but the words you deposited in my spirit will continue to speak through my life. Rest in the Lord, my beloved father and pastor. I love you dearly, Pastor."
