The Presiding Bishop, Living Faith Church Worldwide, David Oyedepo has eulogized the qualities of late Betty Lasher whom he described as his spiritual mother that led him to Christ 53 years ago.
Betty Lasher, 92, died a few days ago. She led Oyedepo to become born again at the age of 15 years.
Oyedepo eulogised Lasher’s qualities, saying she was God’s agent that brought him out of darkness into light.
“My mother in the Lord went home two nights ago, Betty Lasher. I sobbed. I rose and wrote a poem, 53 years ago she changed my life. I spoke to her last month. You said you are too fast, I am not hearing you too well.

“Up till now, you better come and engage your heart. I said, “You have left an army behind who are following Jesus dedicatedly as you did”. A number of them are great ministers of the gospel, a number of them professors, big time businessmen who are still following Jesus with all their heart”.
“Engage your heart in all you do. She got hold of me at 15 and I have still not forgotten. All these halfway following, halfway disappearing is not life. I have been given the grace to stick to wherever God leads me with all my heart. We shall all finish well. No one will miss his place in heaven.
“If I don’t know anything, I know sweet mommy is in her mansion. I know she has a crown right now because if I wasn’t saved, I won’t be in ministry. Whatever people got saved here will also be credited to her account. That is what happens to people you are leading to Christ,” he said.
