Our General Has Gone Home

"Pastor Taiwo, everyday that passes since you have gone to be with your maker reminds me of such a genuine and passionate servant of God you were, how you lighted my path as a youth and continually glimpsed that beam of hope at the lowest seasons of my journey in life.
Thank you for everything.
Let the works of God you did never go down."

"It still feels surreal that you are no longer with us physically and it is always always so emotional for me whenever your name is mentioned or I see your picture. You were such an awesome, humble, calm human and a great worshipper of God. Your legacy lives on! The church is marching on by the grace of God but we miss you sorely!"

"Papa we miss you but your legacy lives on.Love from UK 🇬🇧"

"I’m glad to have learnt At your feet but was never able to attend any service under the sound of your voice. I’m glad to let you know I’m now a part of the family of the legacy you left.

Till we meet at the feet the almighty."

"I am fortunate to sit under your teaching while you were on this side of the divide.
Your life is a testament to the fact that God can be trusted through every season of our lives.
Thank you for those teachings and all.
We miss you but we will meet at the Resurrection morning"

"Pastor Taiwo a great man of God. I say I am child of God with so much confidence now, because of how he shouts it loud. I was blessed under him and God bless his children for leading on. Sleep on sir"

"Haa, pastor Taiwo mi owon, your kids are running the church perfectly well.Ki Olorun ma forun ke yin. Rest well General!!!💋"

"He was like a grandfather to me. I miss him so much. He has gone to where he belongs. He was kind and caring. I salute you sir."

"Great man of God 🙏"

"What a selfless, caring and all round good Father to me and mine!
What a great example!
What a rare human!
What an inspiration!
What a humble man!
What a man of Strong Faith!
What a man!!!

Thank you for helping and lifting people.
Thank you for your deep prayers over us.
Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Thank you for being a gift to the body of Christ.
I know you fought the good fight of Faith and like you always pray for us,
YOU INDEED FINISHED WELL!!!
I love you dad, Forever!❤"

"Goodbye, General! Please say hello to my darling friend Pastor Bimbo. Till we meet again! Thank you for the Thursday showers! Pick a Promise! The Peace in your voice! The Discovery for Men series!
Sun Re! Odigba!"

"God Bless you sir, your service for the Kingdom has impacted many even Me who just Saw your memorial servece and was touched by Your Love for God.. i pray Your family will continue as we all continue to seek God till he comes again"

"Good night sir, till we meet again.
I know you have received a great welcome by our dear pastor Bimbo (how we miss her).
We know you a definitely in a better place."

"I just came across this page I notice what great man God you are God bless your soul"

"His voice booms with so much authority and assurance of God’s love. A father from afar to me , I specially loved his heart to love with no discrimination and TFOLC was home for other Pentecostals like me. For every Sunday service & Thursday Shower , it was a true reflection of a man’s obedience to God and whose life even in death, speaks of consistency despite his struggles . Rest in the embrace of the one who takes the glory in your life now and always."

"What an impactful life for the Lord. We love you and we know that the legacy shall continue in Jesus name.Rest in the bosom of our Lord and Saviour."

"He is the father I look up to. Gentle, blessed, meek, and always smiling . I love you and miss you. Rest well pastor"

"I love you Pastor Taiwo. I can never forget you, sir. God be with you till we meet again"

"About the time Church3:16 started, during service at TFOLC, he was talking about some concerns that had been expressed with children being in ministry. I vividly remember Pastor Taiwo saying (paraphrased) "...allow them, let them function as pastors, leaders, and ministers and make their mistakes whilst we are here so we can guide and correct them."
Looking back, PastorT released his arrows early into ministry and by so doing raised a new generation of spiritual leaders. A great legacy. The testament of that is the strength and faith demonstrated by his biological children and grandchildren during the service of songs, funeral service, and Thanksgiving this past weekend. A great legacy. A GENERAL IN DEED.
May God continue to bless and keep Pastor Tolu, Pastor Jimmy, and Dr. Tobi (and their children and spouses), and especially strengthen, bless and keep Timileyin and Jomiloju and help them love and know the God of their Father and Mother. Amen
I also pray for Pastor Fred. I cannot imagine how devastating this must be for him.
May God bless the fountain of life church and everyone affiliated with the ministry. The church is marching on and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Amen"

"So much grace in one person. His ministry reminds one of the parable of the mustard seed that grows to become a great tree and birds. Pastor Taiwo embraced the oddest of us.
We are missing him already"

"A great pastor, a loving father has gone home to rest, am comforted you are now rest, thanks for being a leader, a ladder and a gift to us all.. rest on in the Bossom of the lord Papa T.. till resurrection morning"

"Thank you Jehovah for the gift and life of Pastor Taiwo Odukoya.
Thank you for your right hand on his life and family.
Thank you for the examples that he was.
And thank you for welcoming him home to your blossom.
I know he is worshipping right now.
Hallelujah!!!"

"Rest on...a man of unshakable faith!"

"Thank you Pastor Taiwo
Your life inspired and will continue to inspire us. You are home rejoicing with your maker. We rejoice even as we cry.
Live on General!"

"Thank you for giving all of yourself sir. I’m inspired by you especially in the ministry of selflessness and help.I don’t worship at the fountain of life but you were my dad too.You will be missed on this side but we know you are home on the other side with father. Our joy is that we’ll see you again in the morning.
We love and will miss you sir."

"Rest on the general... Heaven will celebrate you on and on!
We shall meet on the last day"

"My dearest father Pastor Taiwo in the Lord hummm where do I start from, its still like a bad dream, your smile, prophetic declarations, you were the one that truly introduced me to the true meaning of worship. thank you sir. I remember the encouraging words, you felt my pains I thank God for the generations here and the ones yet to come that you have and would still raise, you were a real servant leader. you taught us well. rest well my great General of the Lord."

"You made the word of God so simple to yield to, thank you sir for the impact. Keep resting with the Lord Sir."

"In 2017, Pastor gave a word in the last standalone fruitful vine service on a faithful Saturday morning. With clear distinctive signs to enable realize it was me. But this was just one of several encounters I had with God after he instructed me to attend the fountain of life church almost 20 years ago. Even though I never met him, I fixed my eyes on him for years and there was deliverance, growth, leadership, capacity and overall he modeled an unparalled love for God. I love you sir, and God bless and keep you in his bosom! He keeps in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on him!"

"Pst Taiwo I joined fountain of life in1995 after secondary school meeting with you brought a great turnaround in my life.The word of knowledge you gave me years back is still working for me till date.You still live in my heart"

"Good night God’s General… Pastor Taiwo ( Pastor T as we call you). Thank you for giving ALL to the Lord. Thank you for teaching me the true heart of worship and what it means to be a worshipper of Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I know your crown will be full of many stars ⭐️ Your love for Jesus and humanity is a legacy for the body of Christ Jesus. In all you were always ready to please the master. You taught and showed us that God first in all we do and seek. You taught us and showed us how to love our spouses, how to be a woman of God’s glory and beauty.., of a truth our God is good and He always does good and right. Thank you my Pastor, without doubt in my heart, I Know our Lord Jesus Christ is proud He chose and found you worthy of the call. We are proud you were chosen. You have won the race. Halleluyah!!! Welcome home good and faithful servant ❤️❤️❤️❤️"

"You are a true man of God and I am proud to be a son of yours. Rest in Power my father and Pastor, I will always hold you close to my heart.
Thank you Sir"

"Hmmmm indeed pastor Taiwo is truly a mentor, an humble ma, a worshipper, a sacrificial leader honestly I lack adjectives to qualify this great mentor. Rest on God General"

"Pastor Taiwo was a blessing to me in no small way. I first knew about him while watching Pst Bimbos teachings on marriage and relationship on ITV back in the days as that became one of my favorite programs as a young girl. When she passed and with the advert of social media I would occasional go on his page, stumble on his messages and be blessed. I was always amaze at how he was so humble and sincere and how he allowed his wives both Pst Bimbo and later Pst Nomith shine. I enjoyed the enjoy your life and all the dances that came with fountain of life with the presence of Pst Nomith and then when she went to be with the angels, I was much more amazed with Pst Taiwos strenth and unwavering faith in Jesus. I may never have been a member of Fountain of Life minsteries but through Instagram I was blessed by the person of our dear daddy and even though its tough to see fareway, I pray someday I can joyfully join my Jesus in Heaven singing and jubilating like papa did"

"Pastor Taiwo

My Father, My Father, My Father in Christ.

You taught me to Love and Live The Word of God. My Foundation in Christ is as a result of my encounter with not only the Church but You and Pastor Bim.

You have won the battle - yes you were marred, not esteemed and no beauty in your situations like your redeemer Christ Jesus.

But You are now sitteth with Christ Jesus.

We Love You. We surely miss you.

You impacted and will continue to impact many generations for Christ Jesus.

Arise Shine For Your Light Has Come."

"Pastor Taiwo, may you rest in perfect peace. Your life and your ministry have inspired generations and will live on forever. The lessons and teachings you bestowed upon us will lead to a better Nigeria and a better world. We thank God for your life, you will always remain in our hearts"

"Dearly Beloved Pastor Taiwo Odukoya you have joined the Saints Triumphant and you are rejoicing at the right hand of God the Father, you have received your crown..Rest on dear Pastor Taiwo.."

"Pastor Taiwo, my spiritual father thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve under your leadership. Through your mentorship, I was able to discover my career in life which has given me a global platform. Your memory is blessed sir. Thank you for giving to the Lord by answering the divine call of God upon your life. Thank you Jesus for this great gift to humanity."

"Hmmm. Finally I have mustered the courage to do this with your picture on it. This is one of the most difficult deaths after I lost my child, Dad (who died at 69) and now a Pastor whom my family and I have known for over 28 years and loved. My husband and I served with all that we had under him without holding back. Pastor was a generous leader in a very unique way.

As we journey down this lane of laying the body of Pastor to rest in the earth realm even, as he dwells in the light of God. I wonder how Pastors Tolu, Jimmy, Tolu and young Timilehin and Jomiloju are coping fa, but we know that the God of comfort has shown up as we pray for all of them from all over the world. Accept our deepest condolences. This is hard, but honour is given when it is due. To all the siblings of Pastor, home and abroad, I cannot imagine your grief and we mourn with you, members of Fountain of Life and the body of Christ in Nigeria and worldwide mourns.
However, one thing is sure, that out of your family (The Odukoyas), came a great leader, a General/Leader in the Body of Christ in his own right and his legacy will live on. That is the truth!

For many like me, I am in a daze still and just going through the motions with a mixed emotions. I have been praying for my soul as I pray for the immediate family especially to overcome this grief properly.

To Pastor Taiwo, to say the phrase "Until we meet again" is as valid today like never before. That is the confidence as you dwell amongst the headquarters of Angels and our Heavenly Father. You have made such an impact in my life and others, even when we wanted more and desired more discourse that will never happen again. Howbeit, the Sovereign Lord who has allowed this knowest best. We may question Him, but He is not obligated to answer us.

Therefore, we rest in the confidence that eternal life in Christ Jesus is a reality. Thank God you are among those saints in triumph on high. God be with your immediate and extended Family, the Fountain of Life Churches, the Body of Christ and the Nations. Adieu our dear Pastor Taiwo Odukoya. You will be missed forever as we enter a new season without you on this side of Earth. Indeed, until we meet again by the Grace of God sir. 💝❤🙏🏼🕎👑"

"Sleep on Pastor Taiwo Gratitude Odukoya! Thank you for yielding the call. I am privileged to have you as my pastor! I will love you for the rest of my life and l miss you greatly! Thank you for teaching the undiluted word of God. Thank you for letting us know we have the Holy Spirit always!"

"Though our hearts are heavy that you are gone, it’s also filled with thanksgiving for a life of impact and for having you as a leader as we submit to Gods will.
Many have come and gone but you stand TALL on all counts as a General in Gods army.
My family became a member of TFOLC in 1993 and we found our home. We joined not sure of what the future held but under your ministry we grew. We florished and were blessed in all areas spiritially, physically, mentally and financially.
You were sincere, forthright, always in the spirit, a worshipper, a beacon of light in your humble yet focused way. You looked up to God as the author and finisher of your faith and taught us to do the same.
You lead the Lords flock with integrity, you strengthened, prayed, cared and loved all sincerely and never gave up on anyone.
Being a part of this work with you has been a huge honor. We are so proud of the legacy you left behind and full of thanksgiving for a life of impact.

We pray for your biological Children and the Odukoya family. May God strengthen them and give them the fortitude to bear this loss.

The Church marches on.

Rest in perfect peace Pastor Daniel Taiwo Odukoya."

"Pastor T, as we fondly called you, influenced me while growing up. He gave me a reason to look at life differently. He instilled in me a heart of worship. I remembered many things, but the most notable ones were when I sowed my only car to the church – one of the pastors collected the keys from me and left with no ceremony because Pastor T was in a meeting. From nowhere, Pastor Taiwo came out of the meeting, held my right hand, spun me around, and smiled – that was the icing on the cake.
One watch-night service before we relocated, I came out to give an offering because of the journey ahead of me – Pastor T walked up to me, held my hand again, and made a pronouncement.
I have no idea what just happened, but my confidence is in God, and I take solace in the promise of Rev 21: 6.
I am privileged to cross your path in life, and you made a deposit shaping generations – for this, I thank you. You will be forever in our hearts and minds. Farewell, Pastor T.
To Jimi, Tolu, all the children, and grandchildren, accept our condolences."

"Pastor T as I fondly called him was an encourager and cared for people. FoL was a great experience for me starting off as a baby Christian and he and Pastor Bim gave me a great foundation. Rest in peace General Odukoya."

"Pastor Taiwo you have really been a blessing to me, you taught me deep worship, I always look forward to Thursday Showers. You will surely be missed but your legacy remains. Say hi to my Parents for me. God bless, keep and comfort everyone. Ka-bio-o-si Oluwa"

"A man full of love, dedicated and passionate for the Love of Christ. Everywhere he went he did good that attracted men to God. We will miss you Pastor, (the only person that supported us financially on our mission assignment to Pakistan), but we know that you are in a better place. 2 Cor.5:8
Tayo & Naomi Fagbenro"

"He was a good man
He was a man of faith
He was my mentor
He was my pastor
He was my teacher
Greater part of my formative years was under his tutelage
He led me by hand
He led me by heart
He was and remains loved and respected by me.
Rest in peace Pastor Taiwo!!!"

"A Father, Pastor, Mentor, Role Model like no other, it is a great privilege to serve under leadership, you have left a very big vaccum sir, until the resurrection morning, Good night Daddy"

"The smile, the charisma, the voice, the expressions, the fatherliness, all morphed into strong love for the Lord, for humanity, deeply guided by a strong immersion in the word. That’s how I can describe Pastor Taiwo. He was a great teacher, mentor, leader, and a great adviser and counsellor.
I greatly revere the counsel you gave to me when I sought your views on a particular matter whose outcome has affected my life positively and immensely, and I do revere those few occasions on which you rode in my car, and I was privileged to drive yourself and Pastor Aerogun on a few occasions incognito as a protocol member. Many fond memories of you, the last of which was the manner in which you received us when we visited you to mourn with you on the transition of Pastor Nomthi.
We are saying goodbye to a big part of our lives…all of us physical gathered and in the various media expressions. Pastor Taiwo affected everyone here today and I hope that we all get to live our lives in the manner in which you instructed, demonstrated, and taught us, so that we all gather again when life’s final trumpet sounds.
We can only rejoice in the sound knowledge of where you now abide, with your loved ones, in eternity to be separated no more. Thank you for sharing, caring, teaching, giving, and living an exemplary life. Indeed, you were one of God’s special gifts to the world.
Rest in Peace,
Funso Sobande"

"Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure.
After I lost my parents and I stopped believing in God, your teachings retraced my steps back to God.
Your prophecies came to life.
I pray your children, and
grandchildren, find peace, and comfort in your sweet memories!
You Live On ! Pastor Taiwo Odukoya!"

"Pastor Taiwo
It’s still like a dream
Can’t believe I won’t be seeing you dance in church but I believe you are in a better place

Thanks for being a part of my Christian faith
I pray the almighty strengthens your family
Till we meet to part no more"

"Even though I never met him physically,he made a remarkable impression in my heart.His messages and his heart of worship really got to me.In the midst of all his challenges he still stood strong and unshakeable.He will be sorely missed.I pray for comfort for his immediate family and The Fountain of Life church.May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace."

"My pastor and my father. You taught me how to be a real child of God! I am a product of your teachings and ministry. Till the morning when we meet again. I miss you and love you!"

"Pastor T,U touched me with your powerful messages, your humility,passion for GODS word and work is something i will hold on so dearly. You raised giants by the grace of God in you,Your powerful wife of blessed memory pastor Bimbo Odukoya groomed me with her powerful messages on marriage and here am i today ,without being raised by a mother am still standing well groomed by her powreful messgaes.We are crying we missed you but Heaven has truly gained.Rest in Gods Bossom Great Man Of God"

"Thank you Papa for those sermons and anointing services in the 2009/2010. I’m a life that your dedication to God blessed. Sun re o Baba dada!"

"It took me this long because I am yet to digest that Pastor Daniel Odukoya has gone home.
I have been a showerian since the time of Pastor Bimbo also attend other programmes (My second church). November 2022 I finally joined Fountain to actually sit under the tutelage of this great man of God and God called him home, heartbreaking for me but I thank God for what God used him to do in my life, I have testimonies I can’t recount here just listening to the messages of this great man. I was strengthened by his messages in my great time of need, he taught me to always trust in God no matter the circumstances.
Hmm! The body of Christ lost an uncommon man of God, a true teacher and doer of the word, a dependable shepherd.
Thank you Pastor Taiwo, he is more than a GENERAL. He lives on. By the help of the Holy Spirit I will continue in the legacy he left.
Good night!"

"You really touched our lives with your humility and servitude.May you continue to rest in peace,God’s general"

"We say he has "departed", but God says that he has "arrived".
Thank you Pastor Taiwo for giving to the Lord, I am a life that was saved."

"Unquantifiable impact. Gave so much, impacted countless, stayed true as a beacon of hope though hard pressed on all sides. You were unique in multi ways and built strong and confident people.Thank you for leading in true worship and reverence for the Lord. You are now fully in the presence of He who sits on the throne and of the Lamb singing for eternity. The Lord comfort your immediate and extended families, spiritual family and world at large. Your legacies will stand tall and strong. Enjoy the constant fragrance of His presence. Goodnight Sir."

"Thank you so much for giving to the Lord!!! I am a life that was changed/saved....I gave my life to our Lord Jesus Christ under your ministry 31 years ago at the dedication of the Fountain of Life Church, which was also the day, you and Pastor Bims were ordained as Pastors of the Fountain of Life Church. A true General of the kingdom indeed!!! You will be greatly missed.Rest on my dear spritual father, teacher and pastor🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Enter into the joy of your Master🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
Rest in perfect peace, my Papa, Pastor, Teacher, and Mentor!!! Alive forever in my heart!!! Unforgettable!!! 😇😇😇"

"Pastor T, you taught me how to worship God whole heartedly. To love God undeniably and To serve God with all my might despite all. Thank you for giving to the Lord. The body of Christ will miss you. Rest well sir"

"Rest well general! Please inform Pastor Bimbo that Nigerians still miss her till today! You both built a wonderful ministry that impacted many people even in her death!"

"It is very hard to believe that Pastor Taiwo is no more. His death came suddenly and painfully. Words could hardly describe the kinds of emotions the sad news brought to many of us.

Pastor was an epitome of humility, decency, godliness and the fear of God.

I will always appreciate God for Pastor Daniel Taiwo Odukoya. His unwavering faith in the face of severe challenges, the way he worshipped his Maker, his dedication to his Ministry and his love for the Congregation are exemplary.

May his soul continue to rest in the bossom of our Lord Jesus Christ where we shall meet to part no more."

"You led me to Christ in the year 2000 at The Fountain of Life Church Ilupeju. I was in my early 20s. Confused and frustrated, having no direction for the future, accepting that I am failure after many failed attempt to get admission to the university. Pastor, you changed my mind-set and changed my life for good with your many messages and teaching of encouragement, boldness, confidence, hard work, favour, limitless blessings etc. And especially how you led by examples. I can remember sometimes during some of the Sunday services in church you make me to confessed it and say it that "I am not a failure". You knew that there is someone in the service that has accepted that he is a failure. Thank you Sir. I am a product of your giving to the service of the Kingdom of God. I am forever grateful sir. Good night daddy. Your Legacy’s live on.It is Well."

"Pst Taiwo and the Fountain of Life Church began to support our mission field, Shuwa Arabs, since 1997, and has continued till date, even after Boko Haram crisis scattered us.
He donated a Beetle car to the field, FOLC invested into setting up of a clinic in the field, and sent brethren from the Missions Dept for field visits. Beside these, Pst Taiwo approved a partial scholarship for my son from SS1-SS3 when it was tough for us to pay his school fees. Today, that young man is an Ivy League university engineering graduate.
On 12th June 1999 when I had my traditional wedding in Isonyin, Ijebu Ode, brethren from the Missions Dept came to stand with me as my family.
Whenever I visited in his office or we spoke on phone, Pst Taiwo was ever a cheerful fellow, inspiring hope and courage.
His large heartedness impacted our teams and our work in many ways.
May his soul rest in his eternity with the Lord."

"I attended his meetings a few times and retired back home armed and equipped to make an impact."

"Thank you so much for giving to the Lord, I am a life that was saved."

"Pastor Taiwo, a God’s general indeed. We miss you greatly Sir but Father knows best . Your life, teachings and mentorship has made great impact on many lives . Thank you for giving to the Lord. I’m so glad you gave. Rest in peace with the Lord."

"Dad,
You showed me Christ, you were my life’s template, all I do is to copy and paste you in every area of my life. You saw me in 1996 and literally became the father I never knew from that time till you passed. you shaped me into the man I am today, dad your passing has left a huge void in my life, I am only trusting God to fill this void because I am sure no human being can fill this deep void.

I make a promise to you today that I will continue to make you proud, thank you so much dad, I will miss you terribly 😭😭😭"

"What a great leader u are sir, will miss u greatly"

"Papa,You lived a life of generosity, kind heartedness,dignity and love.You were a selfless giver,and though now gone from our sight, your loving spirit remains imprinted on my heart.I dont attend fountain of life but how you taught your church members how to live with kindness, really made me love you so much.
We love you so much........."

"You are a great worshiper of God,May the Lord comfort your family and grant you eternal rest"

"Thank you Pastor Taiwo for exemplifying faith and the Christian life.
You taught us by your words and more by your ways.
Rest in peace."

"Thank God for this General of faith. I had an encounter with identity and mindset reformation which i have never recovered from. “I can never be defeated and seated in high places”. The holy spirit ministered this through his servant during those years."

"I started attending Fountain in 2003 because of Pastor Bimbo’s teachings, however it was Pastor Taiwo’s teachings that somehow kept me there…

Everywhere I go I testify of how Pastor Taiwo humbles himself in the place of worship and that inspires me a lot.

I will miss his spontaneous worships during sermons and how he jumps excited by the presence of the Holy Spirit.

A son of God who has inspired generations to be children of God. A true blessing to our generation.

Rest well God’s general!"

"I’ve being immensely blessed by Pastor Taiwo for over 20 years, through his messages and worship. Many times his teachings through the help of the Holy Spirit have met my needs. In particular, I’ll never forget how I felt early this year as I received confirmation to serve in ministry in our local church. Then discovered my promise for year 2005 - Our year of the Holy Spirit, then discovered it’s the same this year! I’ll miss Pastor. May Almighty God uphold his family & the church."

"My beloved Pastor T
It’s been a great pleasure sitting under your ministration. I bless the lord that I found you sir. Your life and ministry inspire me and you’ll be forever be remembered.
Till we meet again at the Lord’s feet
Love ❤️ on you pastor T"

"I will surely put one or two down here because you are indeed a GREAT and a STRONG father ❤️, we love you but almighty God love you most.

I could remember when I lost mum(may God rest her soul🙏) and I was battling with panic attack and depression 😢 coming to your church was a huge relief for me because your preaching gives hope, Life, light, believe and strength 💪. I look forward to every sundays because of the Bibles verses (promise)we pick on our way out of the church, beautiful Christian songs (Psalm 91 and 2 Timothy 1:7) was the Bible verse you mentioned that faithful day and I started receiving daily healing.

God sees everything and knows everything rest on pastortaiwo 😢💔💔💔

#pastortawioliveson 💔"

"Pastor Taiwo! Thank you so much for all you did. You will never be forgotten ❤️"

"Life is truly fleeting and short! Great and glorious however are the memories of the righteous.

I cannot but be grateful for meeting Pastor Taiwo Odukoya who taught so passionately about the place of a man in the lives of his wife, children, family, and everyone else connected with him. He modelled this so truly and powerfully.

Through his teachings, I became evidently aware of the tremendous control I have as a man over my emotions and reactions to things that are unexpected and undesired. His godly wisdom was always evident in the kinds of Scriptural counsels he exposed everyone around him to.

Words fail one when emotions run high and deep. But the passing of this Giant of Faith will continually be an exemption to the saying that ‘I have nothing to say’.

Pastor was the definition of simplicity, genuineness, humility, and integrity. His life was and will continue to be defined by integrity. Integrity in and out of the Church.

Glory to GOD for a life well lived by the man who came to terms early about his purpose.
Glory to GOD for a quiet, yet impactful life devoid of fanfare and unwholesome attention.
Glory to GOD for an exceptional example of Christ and His teachings.
Glory to GOD for a man who praised His Maker without reservation or restriction.
Glory to GOD for the gift of Pastor Taiwo Daniel Odukoya who taught the Word, lived the Word, and left the World without untainted testimonies."

"My heart will worship the Most High God.

I will always remember your teachings and worship Pastor Taiwo. Thank you"

"Pastor Taiwo immensely impacted my life positively. I was at at a very terrible point in life and was suicidal when I joined TFOLC. God used Pastor Taiwo to minister specially to me during the anointing part of the service. He called me out, prayed for me and kept on declaring life to me. Since then, I was drawn to want to know God better and foster a closer relationship with the Holy Spirit. I owe my enjoying my relationship with Christ and the hunger to pleasing God to the incredible teachings of Pastor Taiwo.
God bless you where you are Sir, and bless all you have left behind.
We will keep holding the fort by God’s grace."

"✨️All in All, Praises will never cease from our lips....✨️

"Pastor Taiwo is man that is irreplaceable in the Christian Dom. He is the true definition of a Christian because all his life depends on God and nothing else. Sitting under His preaching for over 25 years, I will say have been blessed beyond my imagination. He makes serving God interesting to everyone that come in contact with him. I will personally miss your teaching and your worship. Glad you have deposited something in all members of TFOLC. We will continue to feel the 🔥 and bow in worship cos that is all taught us to do."

"I still cant believe you are gone Sir.
I am a back bencher in church but a disciple who knew and believed whole heartedly in his Shepherd.
Thank you for leading us right, thank you for telling us the dos and donts in our christian faith.
I always looked forward to your teachings.
Was it the day you spoke about recovering things that have been lost using David as an example and a miracle my family had waited for even before i was born happened or was it the day you spoke about when Jesus told those who wanted to stone the adulterer to cast the first stone as long as they werent without sin. On that day my heart was heavy in church as a mistake i made was about to hurt me (long story short, i was pardoned).
I am not sure how the after life works but i know somehow you would be able to see this, i just want you to know your life was a miracle and you touched so many souls (those you know and many more like me who you dont even know).
I pray that the lord continues to grant your family the fortitude to bear the loss.
I am eternally grateful to have crossed path with you Sir.
Till we meet again on the right side in heaven.
Good night our dear Pastor.
We will forever keep your memories in our hearts and continue to keep the lamp burning."

"Dear Lord
Thank you for this gift of yours to humanity. What a Man!!!
A general of christ in all sense.
A man of Intergrity!!
I am grateful and blessed to call him my pastor.
A man who stood for you even when the storms of life came his way.

"Pastor Touched my life in so many ways through is preaching. He’s based on pure word nothing added. When I joined fountain I was going through some spiritual battles which started immediately I got admitted to the university. My healing came one day when pastor was preaching and it has been permanent since them.
Thank you Pastor for everything and for answering the call.
We are pained but God knows best.

Rest in power."

"We all knew him as a great friend and a wonderful pastor, but one of the things that stood him out was his great love for souls! Sleep on Man of God."

"Pastor Daniel Taiwo Odukoya..words fail me.
A true sheperd who always looks out for his sheep and cares genuinely;he loved unconditionally,no one was more important than the other.He is a perfect example of how Christ loved the church.
Serving God truly and humanity with his heart was a norm for him. Worship was his lifestyle.
I watched in awe his life and faith during disruptions and difficulties.
He taught the Word..he lived the Word.. his life is light!!
Thank you Papa for the legacy of faith, worship and love for people I received from you.
Your legacy lives on and inspires legacy.
I miss you deeply. I know you are at peace now and in glory.
When the pages are open,i already imagine and see what will be said and written of you!!
Keep dancing with the angels till we meet again adieu.."

"We will surely miss you, rest well in the bosom of the son of David. We love you sir."

"Pastor Taiwo lives on! God does not make a mistake! He has never! He will never! We love you but God loves you more! He alone knows the end from the beginning! May His name for ever be praised in Jesus mighty name Amen! Hallujah God wins!"

"Pastor Taiwo was my first Pastor when I came back home!
My Spiritual Father sleep well............

How I came to know Pastor Taiwo.

Circa 1996, a dear friend @olukemiaw invited me to her church picnic for young people, although I did not attend the picnic. I would later attend the church on Sundays just to listen to sermons by Pastor Taiwo.

The church was The fountain of life Church Ilupeju , Lagos.

Pastor in those days, you would always start your sermons with worship, always with worship then you would sing …. Arise Shine for your light has come!
We would all sing and declare this verse of scripture through song! I learnt many verses through song under your tutelage.

After attending the Single amd Married ministry meeting on Monday evenings , Pastor Bimbo invited me to join her team on the Singles and Married Executives as we were called. It was an honour to serve this great woman of God, whom you released without reservation to serve the Lord.

Shortly after this I would become part of the volunteers at the “Vicarage” . You were free and open with us, it was an open door policy. We would listen to testimonies, and your teachings on faith!

I learnt a lot from both of you as spiritual parents: I learnt the practical application of the word, how to read the bible, how to use a concordance, how to use STRONGS. Your library encouraged me to start my own library!

I’m partial nearly 30years later to the NKJV Spirit filled life bible because of your teachings and influence.

You thought me the importance of the staying connected to Holy Ghost at all times and when the presence came down during the service, you would say “ I feel Him” and you would laugh and then the whole atmosphere would change, the Holy Spirit would take over.

When the Single amd Married team travelled out of town you would intercede for us , blessing us as we went across the country and across the globe and we would return with testimonies!

Your teachings on Faith and the Daniel principles remain with me almost 30 years later.

It was an honour to have met you and to have served you.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences Tolu, Jimi and Tobi, Timileyin and Jomiloju, the entire Odukoya Family, the staff at the Vicarage.
To the church @tfolc, it was indeed a blessing to have Pastor Taiwo as a Father.

Thank you for everything Pastor Taiwo Daniel Odukoya.
Thank you for Sir for showing us how to love Jesus.

Sleep well Pastor …… Sleep Well"

"It took me a while to accept that our father in the Lord had gone home. Pastor you were my teacher, father and spiritual father.
Words cannot explain how your messages prayers impacted my live. From nothing to some one in place of authority in a land I never dreamed of growing up.
Pastor you were a general of our time. I always looked forward to join the service especially the second service because of the time difference.
Rest in peace Pastor Taiwo Daniel Odukoya.
Pastor Tolu, Pastor Jimmy, Tobi, Timileyin and Jomiloju, God will continue to be with you all and will comfort you and all the rest of the family.
Pastor was a general and he has gone home to rest."

"I’m only write tribute now because it has taken me a while to come to terms with the news of your demise.

Your ministry has been a blessing to me. I attend fountain of life in Nigeria and even when I relocated to the UK, I usually attend first service online before going to my in person church.

Thank you for being a loving and caring father. You always encourage us to take charge and submit to the totality of the Holy Spirit.

Tolu, Jimi, Tobi, Timilehin and Jomiloju, You will never be left without helper. The Lord will comfort you and come through for you."

"Thank you for teaching me to stand on Gods word through every situation till I saw the fruit. Thank you for standing with me till I gave birth to my twins. You dedicated Joshua, Caleb and David . Thank you sir for all your love, words of wisdom and prayers. I love you so much Pastor Taiwo. I am truly a life that was saved ."

"We miss you Pastor T 😞.
You’re with the one who loves you the most.

Thank you for preaching the word of God with fire.
Rest in peace Sir."

"As you always said sir, all glory must be given back to God, I thank God for answering God call to be our pastor, father, mentor in all aspects of life with humility, integrity, and because of who you are sir we’re what we are today with all your teachings you deposit in our lives to be good ambassadors in our various communities ,as our pastors you don’t let us feel like we are nothing even if we are not rich like some people in church, you carry us along with many projects that encourage us to be something and successful in life from nothing to be relevant in life , I join Folc in 1995 up till date, I can’t ask for better church than Folc because from nothing to someone big in society today in honesty way you taught us to be diligent and humble and walk in integrity in all our ways , my life is a blessing and testimony in my family because I came from Muslim backgrounds, after your demise all my Muslim family worldwide testify that since they heard that some pastors died especially in Nigeria for the first time,no one point accusing finger at pastors Taiwo Daniel Odukoya, be it in social media or in person, but instead is how good our father in the Lord has touched so many lives in good and positive ways in national wide even to overseas no good testimony that this , so daddy it’s not goodbye but good night daddy we shall see again at the resurrection morning and you will forever be in our hearts and we will continue to fellowship in the church fountain of life till we finish well and fulfilled our mandate too.Thank you sir for giving to the Lord am one of people you saved."

"Dear Pastor,

Your passing still feels so surreal, quite unbelievable. It’s been very difficult for my simple mind to comprehend and much harder for my heart to accept.

Moving out of Nigeria means I have been away from Fountain for many years, yet I always considered TFOLC home, as that is where the foundation of my faith was built.

I learned many good habits in TFOLC, like praying into the new year - watch night service is how ‘you raised us’. It didn’t matter where we were, all the youths back in the day would always flood black to church to pray into the new year and pick a promise for the year.

Psalm 91 - I’ve struggled with that since Pastor Bims passing.

In my view, you were a ‘simple man’… regardless of all you had at your disposal, you never got distracted by the ‘riches of this world’; you were a man who loved God through and through.

You delighted in being a shepherd, and you indeed led like a good shepherd. You were a family man, a proud husband and father. As you raised your biological children, you raised us your church children as well (even those older than you in the Sarah & Abraham ministry).

Your legacy is profound - Single & Married (you were the wind beneath the sails), Discovery, Grace Springs etc.

You lived the life and set the example for us to love God no matter what. To trust him, no matter what.

Your death has indeed broken me, and all I can sincerely say is, “Lord I believe, but help my unbelief”.


Olabopo Phillips"

"A man of simplicity, great discipline and love for God Almighty.
It is hard to fathom that you have left this world behind and are now with your Maker.
You served the Lord with all you soul, all your might and all your strength!!
Your integrity as a servant of the Most High was never in question.
Rest on Pastor........ I shall miss you.❤❤🎉🎉"

"One thing I cannot forget about Pastor Taiwo is his joyful spirit especially his style of praise.
Again his philanthropic nature was at a high dimension.
He loved mankind.
Keep resting in perfect peace as your legacy is indelible!!!"

"Pastor Taiwo was an amazing man. I went to school with his youngest son and I can testify he was an amazing father, pastor and just a generally good person. Pastor we miss you. Have a nice time with God."

"Hmmm...
Pastor Taiwo Odukoya imparted my life in so many ways. God really used him to transform my life. Thank you my pastor, my mentor, my father for giving to the Lord. Your legacy lives on in me. I know you are no more with us physically but your works live on sir!"

"May Your Soul Rest With Thy Lord, Man Of God. Amen."

"Great man of God. You have answered your creators call.
May your beautiful soul RIPP"

"You were a man of God doing it the way you were instructed by God. You inspired a whole lot of people. Personally it was your faith throughout the trying times. The way you worship God dance before him. You inspire. We are blessed. Heaven has gained you."

"A leader, Pastor and a father figure. Thank you for giving to the Lord. I thank God for the privilege and the grace which you so freely gave as you received.
Forever in our hearts and truly grateful to God for the memories. A true shepherd from God."

"I am profoundly thankful for the privilege of crossing paths with Pastor Taiwo. The memory of my initial close encounter with him lingers vividly – in the corridors of the old auditorium. There, he patiently awaited my arrival and extended a courteous greeting, addressing me by my full name. I was truly taken aback by his unassuming nature, his humility, and his sincere embodiment of a man dedicated to the essence of God.

The journey of my connection with the Lord Jesus Christ has been profoundly facilitated by Pastor Taiwo. He illuminated the path towards establishing a robust rapport with the Triune God - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. His personal example mirrored a relationship based on camaraderie, affection, solicitude, and authentic care. Through him, comprehending the process of fostering such a connection became considerably accessible. I could readily confide my shortcomings to Pastor Taiwo and receive invaluable guidance and counsel in return.

Pastor Taiwo, you remain indelibly engraved in my memories - a cherished friend, a devoted father figure, and an enduringly affectionate shepherd.
Thank you for giving to the Lord!"

"TRIBUTE TO ONE OF GOD’S GENERALS - PASTOR TAIWO ODUKOYA

Pastor Taiwo Odukoya was a faithful and dedicated follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. He was a remarkable and inspirational leader. He loved and served God passionately, he also lived an exemplary Christian life, he had a kind, gentle and loving personality, he was compassionate and always puts the needs of others above his own.

We thank God for the life and legacy of Pastor Taiwo, what he stood for, what he was able to achieve for the Kingdom of God both in Nigeria and other Nations of the world, his ministry had a great impact upon lives, Churches and other Ministries. He lived a life completely sold out to the service of God and humanity.

Pastor Taiwo fulfilled his calling as a Pastor and Teacher with a burning passion to reach the world and see souls saved and many delivered and set free from the bondage of sin and wickedness. He was a man of integrity, totally committed to Christ and had a good relationship with fellow believers and other Churches and Ministries. His contributions to Christianity will not be forgotten but always remembered because he left an indelible mark on people’s lives.

Pastor Taiwo lived a life of faith and lived by example, he was able to accomplish a lot because of the impactful life he lived and also because of his strength of character and positive disposition over the years he was able to touch many lives. We have the consolation of the knowledge that he is resting in the bosom of his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ whom he loved and served well until his demise.

Psalm 116:15 “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His Saints “
Revelation 14:13 “…. Blessed are the dead which die in the LORD from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours, and their works do follow them”.

Pastor Taiwo fought the good fight of faith and ran a good race, he was a true worshipper regardless of the circumstance he worshipped God.
We believe the Church and his family will always be comforted and encouraged by the wonderful memories they have of him.

May his gentle soul rest in peace.

JESUS IS LORD.

"You came into this world, influenced it, and left an uncommon legacy. You lived what you preached and indeed you were an uncommon general.

Rest on till we meet to part no more"

"PAPA! Thank You!!! That is all my broken heart can express. I love you and will always remember you. You stood up for me, when I needed it the most ( I am sure you didn’t realize how much it meant to me) You were a father when I needed one. Thank you PAPA"

"Thank God for such an exemplary Father. Words fail. You indeed finished well. All praise to the God and Father of our Master, Jesus the Messiah! Father of all mercy! God of all healing counsel! He comes alongside us when we go through hard times, and before you know it, he brings us alongside someone else who is going through hard times so that we can be there for that person just as God was there for us. We have plenty of hard times that come from following the Messiah, but no more so than the good times of his healing comfort—we get a full measure of that, too.
Thank you for giving to the Lord. Words fail."

"PASTOR TAIWO DANIEL ODUKOYA, MY FATHER! MY FATHER!!

Today, we celebrate the life of a remarkable individual who embodied the essence of mentorship, leadership, humility, and honor. Few are they whose life leaves an indelible mark, and Pastor Taiwo Daniel Odukoya undoubtedly stands out as one. As we bid farewell to this extraordinary soul at the age of 67, we celebrate a life lived with purpose, grace, and a profound commitment to service.

Pastor Taiwo was more than our pastor; he was our mentor whose wisdom flowed like a river, quenching the thirst for knowledge and guidance for souls. Through his teachings, he nurtured spiritual growth, helping us find purpose and meaning in our lives. His leadership style was a beacon of light, showing us how to lead with compassion, empathy, and a steadfast commitment to serving others and the community.

Through every challenge he faced, Pastor Taiwo stood tall as a symbol of unwavering faith and resilience. His humility was real, and he lived the values he preached, leaving an imprint of integrity in our lives and community.

As we bid farewell to Pastor Taiwo, we do not mourn a loss, but we celebrate a life that ignited countless souls. His legacy of mentorship, leadership, humility, and honor will continue to flourish in our lives. Your light will forever guide us, and your memory will be a blessing that uplifts generations to come.

I thank God for the blessing of this generation in the man of Pastor Odukoya , a faithful servant of GOD who lived his life so purposefully, doing the will of our Heavenly FATHER and touching lives immensely. He showed through an exemplary life, what it means to lean and remain in the everlasting love of Christ. A firm vessel of worship who fought the good fight of faith, glorifying GOD with unwavering passion to his last days. My life has been deeply touched and I remain forever grateful to GOD for gifting us such a man.
May the LORD grant him eternal rest. Amen!"

"TRIBUTE TO PASTOR TAIWO ODUKOYA

When reality dawns, the thing you never imagined could happen becomes a topical issue. That is a good time to appreciate the omnipresence of the Almighty as the only all-knowing God. The news was shocking but it is real, after all, that Pastor Taiwo has transited. His good life was long enough.

Some people come into your life and become simply irresistible. Such was the story of Pastor Taiwo in my life. I came to Fountain of Life Church as a wedding guest in 1999. My wife (then my fiancée) invited me to her friend’s elder sister’s wedding. I had my local church at the time.

It only took Pastor Taiwo to give the message to the newly wedded couple and I surrendered to his spiritual mentorship without any prompt. After the message, I looked at my wife and she looked at me. The message was clear. We have found our local church.

It was never about him. It was all about Jesus. Pastor Taiwo did not build the church around himself. He never allowed anyone to elevate him beyond his God-given assignment. He did not share in God’s glory. He was quick to direct the gaze of his congregation to God and not himself.

Pastor Taiwo produced leaders from his followers, who can do more than what he could do to bring souls to the kingdom, rather than raise followers who are perpetually tied to the apron string of their leader. His good life was long enough.

He added integrity to ministry and he was a lover of Nigeria. He did not lower the pulpit to partisan politics but he encouraged his congregation to be politically active and positive change agents on the field of politics.

He was a father to all. He always led the church to pray for political leaders across party divide. He was unequivocal about the role of the church in nation building but he never undermined non-Christians. He would usually end with “Nigeria has a great future”.

He lived and let live. He empowered many less privileged through the various outreaches he championed in the church. He was a practical Christian who believed in the overall wellbeing of the flock he shepherded.

I am one of the few who were privileged to work with him directly as a protocol operative. Each time I got detailed on him and I sat in the car with him, I always marveled at his simplicity and humility, particularly his tendency to address people young enough to be his children even with respectful tone.

Pastor Taiwo’s 67 years will surely be deemed short by the many lives he impacted, who would have wanted more of him but God’s ways are not our ways. If life is about fulfilling purpose, he has passed the baton and the church of God is marching on.

Now that the owner of life has taken it back, it is a good time for me to say goodbye to a father and mentor. Pastor Taiwo left a great legacy in me. It is in that spirit that I will be dedicating my new book, Feathers of Hope, (to be released soon), to him. He was a carrier of hope. He personified hope and humility. His 67 good years was long enough.

Fare thee well, Pastor Daniel Taiwo Odukoya (1956 to 2023). Your good life was long enough.

"A perfect example of a Father, Husband and Leader; not just to your primary household but to everyone you came in contact with. You led, loved, served and empathized in the true sense of the word; carrying the burdens of those who were neither kin nor associates without guile nor gimmicks.

Your life showed Christ in practical terms both from afar and when near-at-hand. Bold, yet humble, your leadership was indeed for the good and benefit of others amongst whom I am a true benefactor.

Though gone from this construct of time and space, you are not forgotten. The love of God lived out through your stay in this world has left a path of eternal markings that will lead a multitude of souls back to our creator.

@pastortaiwo , you lived, you loved, you led, you served with a heart full of God. I thank you and thank God for your exemplary life.

I forever cherish your last words to me - "Its good to see you" and looking forward to hearing that once more when we shall meet again at the feet of Christ our master.

🕊️ Adieu Pastor Taiwo 🕊️"

"What more can one say then , God is God all by himself. Unquestionable and immortal that rules over mortality.
Pastor Taiwo has been a quiet mentor for many years for my family without one on one contact.

I pray comfort and peace for your entire family special the children and the entire fountain of life. We love you so so deeply.

And his smile always made me and my family happy.
God help his children.
Amen."

"I am a friend of the FOLC family. I have grown as a believer listening to Pastor Taiwo’s messages. I particularly was excited about his in-depth teaching on the Holy Spirit and looked forward to hearing his exposition on the ministry of the Holy Spirit while he taught on it. I love Thursday showers. I always feel at home each time I attend the service at FOLC.
I’ll miss hearing Pastor T. It was comforting to hear him speak issues of concern.
He represented a symbol of stability to the Church in Nigeria and body of Christ."

"You were a pillar through Christ who raised a praying, Holy Ghost filled individuals.
You taught us never to give up but to always seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit because he has been sent to comfort and guide us.

Thank you for being the Father who walked the talk.
Thank you for not compromising your Faith.
Thank you for giving yourself even when it was not convenient.
Thank you for being true.

I do not know if I would ever be privileged to meet anyone that could fill the mighty shoes you have left behind.

You were a beacon of Hope in every hopeless situation I have ever found myself. I remember encouraging a friend in 2021, using your journey in Faith as an example.

You are greatly missed Pastor
Rest on Pastor Taiwo
Till we meet at the feet of Jesus"

"Bros Tee,
As we fondly calk you for that close relationship.
April 1990 was our really very close contact and you made a lasting impression on me. Not as the church Administrator you were then but personal relationship.
That impression I cherish till date and you have not changed till you leave for greater beyond.
You will forever be on my mind.
Adiu brother."

"Your impact lives on building more generals for the Lord.
You are now with your Father.
Hallelujah"

"A true man of God and a Worshipper per excellence. We love you"

"Pastor Taiwo Odukoya is more than a pastor to me, he is my father. When I was homeless,He gave me a home,The Grace Springs Rehabilitation Home, Ikorodu,where I was fed, schooled and refined. When I was lonely, he gave me this big and beautiful family called the THE FOUNTAINEERS, TFOLC, where I felt completely at home. Pastor led me to Jesus Christ and made me understand that my Father is the creator of heaven and earth and I have his spirit on the inside of me.That same spirit ,that raises Jesus Christ from death.Lastly, Pastor handed me to the ministry of the Holy Spirit. He schooled me to be a soldier, an army of the spirit.
Thank you sir for all you have done. You will forever live on in our heart. My generations will hear of you, the man that made me."

"Pastor Taiwo was a great leader. A man who exemplified walking in faith with God. A General indeed! I am glad to have witnessed your impact in my life and the lives of many others. Thank you for the years of labour of love as a spiritual father. You will be greatly missed!"

"Pastor Taiwo had always been around. From birth, he was someone who had become a staple in my life and in the lives of my mother, my sisters and the rest of my family. Ever encouraging, he was always rooting for me and cheering me on.
To me, he epitomised the life of a true Christian, and he was always (and still remains) a role model for my walk with Christ. He was a true friend of God and made sure that we all understood how important it is to go through every aspect of life with the Holy Spirit. This, amongst others, is one of the lessons that will dwell with me for countless years to come. His warm, friendly, welcoming nature will surely be fondly remembered both within and outside the Fountain of Life Church.
A particular message he delivered which has stuck with me for some reason was one he preached some years ago. Its main theme was “Go Forward”, and I am sure that that is exactly what he would want the Church to do.
I extend my deepest condolences to his family, friends and colleagues, and I pray that God will give us all the strength to overcome. Amen."

"When I first saw the news , I was not only shocked but also sad. I honestly don’t have an answer why God allowed this to happen. Who are we to question God But one thing that is comforting is that he is at the right side of God. I want to say thank you Pastor Taiwo for impacting so many lives including mine. And for your tireless and consistent work for God. I pray that God comfort your children and loved ones that you left behind.May your soul continue to rest in peace!"

"Pastor Taiwo Odukoya was a man of integrity, a man who kept the faith in the heat of trial. He continued standing.

He was never involved in any form of scandal nor did he castigate other ministers.

He lived silently with purpose and focused on the assignment God gave him.....till the last day...

He never used his pulpit to fire arrows at other people, honestly, he was a great role model..."

"Thank you God’s own General… I am personally so blessed in your constants teaching and unconditional worship,
Thank you sir 🙏🏾😭
From:
Delaware USA 🇺🇸"

"Thank you Pastor T for showing us that life is full of tribulations but we count it all joy and always live a purposeful life. Thank you for that day during Thursday showers, you prophesied into my future when I was having negative doubts and all my fears disappeared. You made worship and fellowship with God so adorable.
Thank you for your life, living selflessly, completely sold out to Jesus, embracing the storms and living a life with heaven in mind.
Thank you for always pointing us to the HOLY SPIRIT, no wonder you made the year 2023 theme our year of the "HOLY SPIRIT" because indeed he is our comforter.
We are comforted knowing that you are in heaven with the angels singing Hallelujah."

"Pastor Taiwo you were such a wonderful man of God
A man that strictly followed God, a man with ardor for the things of God and the service to humanity.
In deed you were a gift to to humanity.
You demise is sudden with great shock though, and great pain to those you leave behind to bear.
But the God own general has gone home to be in the bossom of our Lord and Serviour Jesus Christ.
God love you more than any man on Earth, so continue to rest in His glory."

"Pastor Taiwo Daniel "Gratitude" Odukoya was a pastor, father, mentor, and a leader. He was always showing and pointing us to the cross everyday. He gave His best to his family, church, and the body of Christ as a whole. We salute you, even in your place in the kingdom of God. May we all finish well also like you did. Great General of God, sleep on..."

"My Dear Pastor Daniel Taiwo Odukoya.
Hmm what can I say but thank you for being a true Leader, general, father; an example of a true worshipper, prayer warrior and encourager. Your words of wisdom will never be forgotten. Sitting under your guidance has blessed my life immensely. I can never forget you Sir.
A man of unquestionable character who lived in full reverence and submission to the mandate of God our maker . Thank you for serving Sir. Rest on, my pastor."

"Heavenly FATHER, I am grateful for the grace to have had Pastor Taiwo as my pastor for a good number of years of life. I am grateful for the vision that you established through him. Every gathering at Fountain of Life was always a blessing to my life, even departmental meetings. Serving in the church was such a joy. What am I trying to say? Even if it was not Pastor Taiwo preaching or coordinating the meetings the presence of God was evident. This testifies of the grace that you bestowed upon Pastor Taiwo and this grace trickled down unto the church members simply through his heart for sheep he was sent to shepherd. (Psalm 133). I am grateful to God for the grace bestowed upon Pastor Taiwo to yield to your calling. Thank you Pastor for the blessing of your complete obedience to the call, you gave it all!
To the children and the entire family, thank for allowing and encouraging him to give all that he gave as a blessing to the body of Christ. The LORD is the strength of your life at this time and always in JESUS name."

"I just want to say i’m very grateful to have had Daddy Taiwo in my life for over 17 years of my whole life. He was there from the beginning, he named me Mary. I feel pure aching in my heart to understand that he’s gone. the last time i fully met him i was 14 years old. and i got to meet Pastor Nomthi before she went too. anytime i was speaking to them, the joy and happiness they both had were amazing. He ALWAYS smiled at me and had something to say to me. I’m in pain but I’m very happy he’s made it home above with the Lord. At first it was unbelievable but when i found pictures i was like oh my Lord. But all is well, He deserves to rest as he endured a lot of pain and suffering. I love you Daddy, i know your smiling at me always but i do promise to stay strong and continue to work for the Kingdom of God."

"In life, some things need to be said. Normally, I would say these things in my heart, trusting that God saw my intent but today is a day for testimony

Pastor Taiwo, Dad, I thank God for the gift of your life and ministry. Both yourself and Pastor Bimbo led me to Christ. You explained the gospel of Jesus and introduced the ministry of the Holy Spirit,like none other. For over 22 years (almost half my adult life), I learnt from Christ, under this ministry. The Word is alive, vibrant and relevant in the Fountain of Life Church.

I’m so grateful for the exemplary life you lived, a guide and a beacon of hope for this young man, navigating the bright lights of the city with all its allures. You were so circumspect, never craving the spotlight or attention. You showed that it was possible to live with as much success as possible and yet remain grounded, humble; recognizing that all good things come form above and that it was important to be excellent stewards of everything we have been given from above!

And so, Heavenly Father, I’m in awe as I worship You for the life and times of Pastor Taiwo Daniel Odukoya, your servant and my father in the Lord.

I testify that to the best of my knowledge, Pastor Taiwo served You and taught me to do the same.

I testify that he never inserted himself in between us (myself and You, my Heavenly Father). He always recognized You as the source of all things, both in my life and in the congregation of the saints.

I testify that he always gave You the glory and was almost always visibly disturbed when men tried to shower him with accolades, especially in Your Presence. He always gave You the glory.

I testify that through this ministry, I was able to recognize Your Presence and when You were speaking to me.

I testify that as You used him to raise & encourage leaders (men & women), I saw the manifestations of their rising in different spheres of influence as captains of industry, business and political leaders! The word You gave him (I and the children the Lord has given me, are for signs and wonders...) many years ago, came to pass before my very eyes!

You my King, could have chosen anybody to help mold me, into the man I am today because You are Sovereign! I am so glad you chose Pastor Taiwo Daniel Odukoya. I’m grateful for Your choice and I testify that it was the best choice. I couldn’t have chosen any better. He was such an encouragement and an example! I’m a better man, husband, father, professional & leader with the knowledge of You, that he so richly sowed in my life.

I testify he ran his race and did well by me. May he be blameless in Thy Sight concerning me, if I have fallen short of Your glory. May his memory be blessed and be a blessing to many. May You preserve his legacy and cause all that he left behind to flourish!

To You, Heavenly Father, be all the glory, honor and praise!

In Jesus’ name!

Rest Well, my Pastor, Mentor, Leader.......and Daddy!"

"What do I say? My heart has never been this broken. Pastor Taiwo you were an amazing Father. Never casting anyone away. Moving us into our destiny. I joined the Fountain of life church some 29years ago your Spirit of worship got me hooked. I love and appreciate you Pastor Taiwo. I promise to live right. This Father/daughter relationship must continue at the feet of our heavenly Father some day. Rest well sir. You did well. You finished well."

"Memories of the righteous,never fade off."

"True Hero, Father, Mentor and Spiritual father. Every word God spoke through you through my life came to o pass. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you Pastor. We will surely miss you."

"Your Legacy Lives on!
Pastor Taiwo Odukoya’s life deeply impacted countless individuals who had the singular privilege of being recipients of his great heart. He changed my life, family, and ministry!

Our first encounter with Pastor Taiwo was when we hosted him and Pastor Bimbo for dinner at our home in July 2005.We had a lot to talk about and fun memories with both of them. But later that year, we were saddened by the sudden departure of Pastor Bimbo.

Our connection with Pastor Taiwo continued as if Pastor Bimbo had told him: “Take care of these two for me.” While we mourn Pastor Taiwo, we celebrate his humbling leadership, unwavering commitment to God’s standard, towering integrity, reassuring and uncommon wisdom, perpetual guidance, and unfailing support. We were brought to Nigeria by Pastor Taiwo. Spending time with you Pastor, gleaning from your wisdom, learning at your feet and worshipping at Fountain was a remarkable experience.

On behalf of my family and our generation, we say thank you Pastor Taiwo for showing us what it means to be courageous in adversity and single mindedly pursuing a calling to something higher than yourself. Thank you for being a portrait of what a life fully dedicated to God looks like.

We miss you, Pastor. You will always be the best spiritual father to us. We cherish the memories we created with you Pastor; they will stay with us throughout the rest of our journey in ministry.

Dr. Steve & Rev. Carol Lydienne Mbua"

"In Memory of Pastor Taiwo Odukoya.

Words are enough to describe the gift that Pastor Taiwo Odukoya was to the CHURCH of Jesus in Nigeria and UK.
He was Loyal.
Loyal to the Heaven’s Call and Mission on Earth. Loyal to his family, Loyal to his Church Family. Loyal to the Written word of God, Loyal to his Friends.
I will remember a man of God from Nigeria that was a different BREED who I met in London.

Different.
A man of Integrity and Honour."

"I cannot imagine the great joy in heaven when you breasted the tape and received a rousing welcome as the Lord’s general.
My Pastor of pastors and a quintessential mentor, you are sorely missed. We are comforted by your legacy of integrity.
Adieu my ever smiling Pastor."

"Pastor Taiwo Odukoya is a teacher of the word, he love to see people smile, teacher of the word, a visioner of the Grace Spring Cooperative Society, of which I am a member.

"You are resting in the bosom of your maker. You lived a life of impact, your humility was legendary. Your memories will be cherished as you have left a positive mark in the lives of many.

Keep resting great soldier."

"Pastor was a man with a true heart of worship. A lover of his nation.
A man with a heart for service.
A man of prayer.
A true leader.
Most of all a father.
In adversity, he carried his cross with grace. He wore his badge with honor.
He showed us that no matter what life throws at us, our focus should remain on Jesus.
Although he is absent with us, our joy is that he is present with the Lord.
Hallelujah!!!"

"As at April this year you rang my son you had been calling to check up on his health we were to see in May but as a prophet I didn’t see this only God understand this I submit to his Glory and power !

"What else can I say? He was one of the "few good men". Until the resurrection day, sleep well."

"My pastor was an exemplary Christian. He taught me how to live, believe and speak the word and this has helped me through my journey in life. Through his life, I’ve learnt to keep believing, trusting and serving God at all times. I’m so thankful to God for making him a part of my life’s journey. He’d be deeply missed, he was a great blessing to mankind. Keep resting in the bosom of our Lord and Savior, Pastor Taiwo"

"I have worshipped in Fountain of Life Church and sat under the ministration of Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, his humility is exemplary, committed to raising others even above himself. He has lived a life of great resilience amidst his many trials. I believe his can be related to Job who remained steadfast and committed to God even in the midst of his troubles. It pleases God to take him home at this time, and I believe this for his much needed rest from the battle field. He has left a great legacy in family, church and leadership. On this side of life he will be remembered for the lives he touched and changed, on the other side of eternity I pray he sits at the right side of the Father.
Fare thee well Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, you have ran your race and your have kept the faith."

"While our hearts are heavy with grief at the loss of our beloved father in the lord, we must make sure to acknowledge the sheer number of people grieving with us.
In spite of the sadness, we must make sure to celebrate the profound impact that he had on thousands across the globe and even though we mourn the passing of his physical being, the legacy that he built and the spiritual journey that he started many of us on will endure forever."

"Thank you sir for a life of leadership and a life full dedication to the great commission.
Thank you Daddy"

"Dearest Pastor Taiwo, as you always said, GLORY BE TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST🙏

From your teachings I understood the bible better. I learnt the power in the word by picking promises. You were a super-great teacher of the word, such a breath of fresh air for me. I can’t forget one of your messages titled “The word the Prevailing Power!” So much to say, but till we meet again…Continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord🙏"

"How do I capture and summarise my thoughts to write a few words about a man I’ve known all my life? Hmmmn…

Left it this long perhaps because my heart didn’t want to accept the fact that you’re no longer with us.

All I just want to say is ‘THANK YOU sir’
Thank you for everything you did and all that you were 🙏

A man that lived by example, You preached the word and LIVED the word!!!
Never seen a man soooo humble. His humility and attention to details was second to none.
He had time for everyone and remembered even the tiniest detail (how he did it sooo perfectly and beautifully, I still don’t know)

Thank you for nurturing so excellently, for caring so deeply, for loving, for all your wise counsels, for praying and for ALWAYS being there 🙏

A worshipper true and true, he loved to worship, he loved to dance (oh how I’ll miss those dance steps), a gentle giant (deep baritone voice but so gentle and soft spoken whilst having conversations with you)

To say I’ll miss you is an understatement but I’m super thankful to God for the gift of you 🙏

I’ll hold the memories of you so close to my heart and I’m consoled that although you’re absent in the body, you’re present with the Lord.

Rest in power Uncle, till we meet to part no more. I love you and I will miss you sooooo much ❤️"

"Papa taiwo this how I called you , was always excited seeing you on the screen despite the tough moments . You loved God and pushed me tremendously too , God decided otherwise . Just know I love you as a pastor and a dad . Rest well 💜 , will make you proud ."

"Pastor Taiwo was a huge part of me and my family through his ground breaking preaching and attitude towards the things of God. Our lives changed for good when we got fountain of life church 6years ago.

It’s was always refreshing hearing pastor Taiwo speak, God always speaks through him to me every single time every time. There’s no time I hear him speak and my spirit won’t be lifted, I looked forward to seeing him back in church again cos I felt like I needed to hear him speak again for me to have that spiritual energy that I lacked for a while but God our great almigh had other plans. Still I am grateful for the life he led that has impacted and inspired me, grateful to have known him and be under his ministry. I am thankful to have been able to hear his words about the holy spirit which has helped me in my journey with Jesus. A general has gone home but he left us with a guide to defend ourselves THE HOLY SPIRIT. I love you and I will always miss you Pastor Taiwo, you left a great legacy."

"Good night Pastor T……….. You didn’t only teach the Word. You lead by example. I’ll always be a proud Fountaineer!!!"

"I joined Fountain of Life church online in 2018. I am grateful for the life of Pastor Taiwo. His messages were not only encouragement but rebuke in seasons I needed rebuke. I have been blessed by his ministry, family and inspired by his unwavering love for God. Rest in the arms of our Saviour. To the family, Apostle Paul says there is no death to the righteous; they sleep. May the Lord comfort you during this time. May the Lord strengthen you.

He was an encourager and a giver.
He was humility personified.
He was a child of God."

"A true father and friend, humble and kind, never too tired to listen or reach out to us your spiritual children. Always a pillar of support. Ah! Its so painful you had to leave.
It hits where it hurt the most and oh! It hurts so deeply.

I will keep the memory of you in my heart, every of your teachings and words will live on for generations.
Thank You for giving unto the Lord.

Good Night Sir.
Worship on God’s solider.
It’s see you later at the feet of Christ."

"Pastor Taiwo was showed us how to be a worshipper of God, ins spirit and truth. He was a father of fathers, pastor of pastors. His sermons, are always down to earth, simple and always on point!

From him I learnt over time, "Trust only in God, never put your trust in man, the best of man is man, look unto Jesus and not your pastor. You can do all things through Christ!" (paraphrased). He was a good father to many, a mentor, philanthropist, passionate motivator and selfless giver. An excellent example of a good leader and man of God!"

"Pastor Taiwo as we fondly call you. You have been a blessing to my family and you will forever be missed. A teacher, father, mentor and a great general of God.Your love for God and His people is unquestionably profound .We love you God loves you more You fought the good of faith and you finished strong"

Humble to the call,a good man. Thank for always admonishing us to please God,do exploits for Christ and assuring us that we will finish well just as he finished well .Adieu the General of our time."

"Good night, Pastor Taiwo. Thank you for fighting the good fight of faith and for running some aspects of your race for us to see and learn from. Congratulations on your step up to being fully at home with the Lord. We love you."

"He was a teacher of The Word. Always ready to impact knowledge of God. He will be missed. His death is a reminder to me that Death will happen, surely happen one day. May God continue to guide us his followers so when we meet again the joy will be perfect.
You are indeed a General of God! Rest on! Salute!"

"Praising and worshipping the Most High God at all times!!!!!

Rest well dear Pastor Tee: compassionate, humane, humble and Jesus Christ personified.

This is tough, very tough from the early days of Household of God till now at TFOLC.

Ore oofe sha 😇😇😇😇😇"

"Can words really express what you truly are? What you really meant to all of us?
You were special to me Pastor Taiwo.
A man with a beautiful and humble heart, a man full of life and energy.
A man who people genuinely cared for and admired.
You touched so many lives, you prayed for so many souls.
Even through all the pain, your ministry and your faith grew stronger, even when life came at you hard, the joy of the lord was always your strength.
A man I truly loved and respected.
There will never be any one like you sir, you were more than just a man, you were a force. A true force of God
May your legacy of Love and hope live on forever in our hearts, may it bear fruit and flourish.
I will forever love and appreciate you sir.
Now you rest in Eternal Joy and Glory. 🫶🏾"

"He was the man that loved God, until he allowed himself to be poured out."

"I’ve always admired him as my Pastor but after I gave my life to Christ, I decided to start listening in church. That was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. He was so anointed and blessed, full of wisdom. I will miss you Sir, thank you for everything. I’m happy you’re in a better place. See you in Heaven Sir."

"My darling pastor Taiwo
Is very hard to accept you’re gone, I’m not even sure I’ve fully accepted it yet.
I’ll choose to celebrate the fulfilled life you’ve had and think more about the beautiful memories of you rather than think that you’re gone. This doesn’t mean I’ll be able to hold my tears whenever I see your pictures or hear your voice, it just means I’ll find solace in the fact that you had a wonderful life and you’re with the One you worship.

My darling pastor Taiwo
A father to a lot of us, some of us don’t even have a personal relationship with him but we feel the fatherly love from him.
Such a selfless, loving, caring and happy person.
You served your God pastor Taiwo and I guess He wants you free of our sinful world.

I’m sure the world would feel your absence. I‘ll miss your energetic self, your unique voice and dancing steps, the way you radiate glory every time you speak about your maker, the way you loved and believed in our nation Nigeria and your selfless love for people.

Is too hard to say goodbye, I’m not even sure I want to say it. I guess I’ll rather just say thank you for the life you lived and for the love you shared around. How I wish I can get one last hug but I’ll close my eyes and imagine you’re still here.

Lord pls help us see the bigger picture in this because is a lot to handle and process. Help us find solace in You.

Signed
Temitope Adegbami"

"Every personal prophecy over my life that I will always remember has been from Pastor Taiwo. Everything he said to me has come to pass and is still coming to pass. My life has been heavily transformed since the day I met Pastor Taiwo Odukoya. Will always love you Sir. Thank you for giving yourself and being a huge blessing to me and everyone. To God be the glory. Hallelujah."

"Is really sad to learn you have joined the saints triumphant. Who are we to question our maker? Am not a full member of the church, but have always loved the way you spoke the Word and the songs you sang in between preaching any time I visit is ..............
Rest on Pastor Taiwo, a faithful soldier of Christ till we all meet at the resurrection morning."

"Pastor Daniel Taiwo Odukoya devoted the greater part of his life to serving God and humanity. He was born and raised by very devoted Baptist parents in Kaduna, hence his fluency in Hausa. He retired after 12 years of meritorious service to face the call of God on his life full time. He worshipped and served at TREM and Household of God before establishing The Fountain of Life Church with his wife of blessed memory Pastor Bimbo Odukoya. He served as the General Overseer for more than 30 years. His mission is raising men and women that are impacting the world. He loved his family and was always ready to assist them. We will miss his wise counsel, his moral and support to the family. Pastor Taiwo was known for his integrity, humility, and generosity. His quest for education led the Church to establish Education Project Team that provides financial and other support to the Ilupeju public schools and community. Another initiative by him is the Church taking street boys from Oshodi and other places to rehabilitate them and fund their education. Through him, the Church also supports Missionaries in Nigeria and some West African nations. He was known for decency and orderliness. Pastor Taiwo has left a legacy that will inspire people to serve God and humanity. My prayer is that his legacy will live forever. An icon and a generalissimo has gone to rest in the bosom of His Lord. ADIEU"

"A big gem has been taken away from us . May the good lord grant the departed eternal rest uphold all his family in Jesus Name . The church will go on and the gate off hell shall not prevail over his church ."

"Pastor Taiwo Odukoya was n is still my mentor. His ministration has lifted me up to a great height in life. May he continue to rest in the bossom of the Lord Jesus Christ now n forever more.

"Dear Pastor Taiwo, I am so thankful that God led me to you through the ministration of Pastor Bimbo in my campus fellowship. My first time in the Fountain of Life Church was early August over 2 decades ago. You and Pastor Bim were away on your annual R&R, a lady pastor preached and I was so blessed! I was like, if the pastor is not around and I was this blessed, what then will happen when they return. I came back every Sunday until Pastor and Pastor Bim returned. I was struck by your passion for the Lord, your simplicity, humility, Integrity.....
We love you sir and even though we know you are worshipping at the feet of our Lord, we miss you!
Our Lord is faithful, He will keep your children, grand children, your entire family, the TFOLC and the Church at large.
Indeed the Church is marching in and the gates of hell shall not prevail, in Jesus name 🙏"

"Thank you Pastor Taiwo for giving to the Lord. You ran your race with grace and diligently encouraged everyone to be purposeful and connected to God, our source of life and our exceeding great reward.

That i might run this race of life and not faint ,

The one who laboured for my lifting in life.
The one who spoke of my greatness when i could barely see it.
I never thought i would cry over you this year
But this tears , are tears of triumph

"God has called one of his faithful servants, Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, home! I know heaven is rejoicing even though we miss him on earth.

I am grateful to have been a member of The Fountain of Life Church, Lagos, Nigeria during my teenage years, and to have had Pastors Taiwo and Bimbo Odukoya as positive influences. Pastor Taiwo in particular, demonstrated that one can be an intellectual and a devout Christian by being an Engineer and a Pastor. He encouraged us to study God’s word individually, and to talk to God directly. There is no need for an intermediary; the throne of God is accessible to all.

Even years after I left Fountain and returned to visit, he was still pastoring! In parting, he gave me several books about leadership because he identified a calling to lead. One of these books was “Lead like Jesus” by Ken Blanchard and Phil Hodges which was transformational.

Pastor Taiwo, truly you will be missed. Rest in peace! To God be the glory!"

"Pastor Taiwo, it’s so hard for me to type this. I just want to thank you for everything. You’ve been a good good father in the lord to me since 2015 when I moved to Lagos from Ibadan. I will forever cherish all your teachings and the many miracles I have gotten from God through you. Thank you for building my faith Pastor Taiwo. Every time I changed jobs for better jobs in Nigeria was from a word I received from Pastor Taiwo’s message, when my PR was approved I got a confirmation when Pastor Taiwo was preaching, I and my wife are expecting our baby and we have a name already courtesy of Pastor Taiwo.
This is hard for me, but Pastor Taiwo I and my family love you and appreciate all you have done for God’s kingdom.

Rest in Peace and may almighty God grant all your children, family members and TFOLC the grace to bear this.

Hmm it is well."

"This is a great lost to me personally, because my daddy is really the one that change my life, he pick up from under the bridge some years back and change my life and give me reason to leave, I love you, but God love you most."

"Hearing the news of your passing brought immediate pain to my heart. It was shock and unbelief at how it could be. I met you only once but you were my silent role model and hearing you and seeing you worship always made me seek God even more. I will miss you Pastor Taiwo, words cannot really express it but I’ve learnt that there is something to learn in every experience and that is my prayer for each and everyone of us that you have left behind physically because I know you are still with us - with us in our hearts and spirit. I love you Pastor Taiwo and I know you’re in a better place. Rest On!"

"My mentor, my father, I so much love his preacher, Rest well father till we meet again, the lord we give us the strength to continue the work of GOD and faith"

"Hmmmm! Pastor Taiwo, a man of humility, a TRUE man of God, ardent worshipper, an encouraging and supportive father to his biological and spiritual children.

My first meeting with you was on the 11th of December 2005, after the death of my husband, Olaitan Ogundipe, who along with Pastor Bimbo, had passed to glory via the ill-fated Sosoliso plane crash.

You called to encourage me even while grieving too, you kept calling to find out how the children and I were doing and especially when you found out that I was pregnant, you made sure I was well taking care of - having medical attention and assigned people to be with us all through that period, that showed me that you are a TRUE man of God, even in pain you were still concerned about our welfare.

The encouraging words you said to me at those period and everytime you see me, are strength pills for me in moving on in life and you making sure that all the promises you made to the children and I are been fulfill.

I remember, how my children are always excited when I tell them, "Pastor said we should see him after service", it was like they were going to meet with a king, yes, you are a king for the Most High.

Thank you Sir for also setting up the Ruth and Boaz fellowship and giving me the privilege to serve there. This fellowship has brought a lot hope and strength to a lot of widows.

Thank you sir for your great impact on humanity especially my children and I.
Your life is always an inspiration, especially to my family.

Thank you for being you.

The joy is that you are singing and dancing before the One you love so much and taught us to love.

Looking back now, I have a clearer understanding that the year of the Holy Spirit was not coincidentally, it was well orchestrated because you are the man of the spirit.

Adieu, till we all meet on resurrection morning, e ba mi ki Olaitanmi."

"There is no amount of tribute, service of whatever songs, sermons of faithlessness and any other events of any capacity that can ever express or quantify or ever compliment the humanity of human being Taiwo Daniel Odukoya that I personally encountered meeting him face to face for the very first time during the moment of human being Bimbo Rosemary Odukoya demise back then 2005. Very humble as the greatest humanist aside the childhood accidental forced birth place beliefs he preaches as his calling. And death is not the greatest punishment, judgement or reward of human service, coming to human knowledge of self and compassion to fellow human person is the greatest reward, judgement and punishment if indeed there is any of such physical happenings as encounters outside this human space of Life existence as humanity. #HumanityIsEvilAndGood"

"My daddy and mentor in the Lord I am broken 💔💔💔 u left this beautiful world sir
You impacted a great value in my life you change my perspective you are a rare gem of unusual father I will miss you a lot sir fair well sir

"Unbelievable that a warrior has returned to his Maker. Pastor Taiwo….you came, you saw and you conquered. Hmmnnn!…You were blameless and your garment was as white as snow. You remained strong, steadfast and hopeful with a thankful heart of praise even in the face of adversity. A true example you were Sir. I don’t know if you will see all our tributes and heartaches over your death but i know you are with the one you lived for. You were all about JESUS… thank you Sir. I know TFOLC will march on till Jesus comes cos you always said it wasn’t your church but the church of our Lord Jesus Christ. Well done good and faithful servant. You kept the faith and finished well. We that are left should hold firm unto the faith and keep moving till we meet Jesus. Hallelujah. May Almighty strengthen your kids, family, loved ones, pastors and the body of Christ. Amen.

May the good Lord rest his soul in peace."

"Pastor Taiwo was Gods gift to our generation and to the Fountain of Life Church in particular.
I am a life that was affected by his teachings and ministry from the moment I walked into the Church in October 1995. Your influence touched the ends of the earth from Ilupeju.
You built lives and counted your riches in souls .
You have raised leaders , you have certainly equipped the saints for life and ministry.
Many of us have been blessed and able to define our own purpose in life through your obedience to the Lord. Thank you for giving selflessly to the Lord Sir .
I can only imagine how star studded your Crown is.
You lived , you continue to live. Yours is an enduring legacy.
I can’t even begin to document here how much you mean to me and my family.
Working with you up close was a huge privilege, the testimonies of intervention in lives are too numerous to count.
You didn’t even need to know people to offer assistance. Too many of us became adopted Children that enjoyed the benefits and blessings of sons.
Pst’s Tolu, Jimi, Tobi , Timilehin and Jomiloju , thank you for sharing Daddy with us. The Lord will always rejoice over you with singing.
We will continue to drink from the Fountain of life and draw strength from the Holy Spirit that you were intentional in telling us to rely on.

May your soul rest in peace. I miss you Dad!"

"Pastor Taiwo Odukoya: A Radiant Star of Faith

In the realm where stars once brightly gleamed, A solemn news, like a whispered dream,

Has reached our ears, a heart heavy and pained, For Pastor Taiwo Odukoya has now attained.

Precious, indeed, in the Lord’s own sight, The passing of His saints, a sacred rite, And in this moment, we gather here, To honor a man so noble and dear.

Oh, what a soul, with a heart so grand, A good man, with love at his command, His life, a testament to unwavering faith, A beacon of light, in times of dark wraith.

Hebrews spoke of faith’s steadfast decree, In hardship and trials, a resolute plea, And among those listed, our dear Pastor Taiwo, A testament to faith’s eternal flame.

We shall not dwell on the struggles he faced, But rather on the strength of his faith, embraced, For in the face of trials, his spirit prevailed, His unwavering trust in God, never veiled.

The memory of the righteous, eternally blessed, In our hearts, his faith and example rest, Grateful, we stand, for your life’s noble art, Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, forever in our hearts.

Now, in the realms of eternal joys untold, May you find solace, where celestial wonders unfold, Amidst the pleasures of our dear Christ’s embrace, Rest, Our Dear Pastor Taiwo, in His everlasting grace.

Your Son

Dr. Toye Sobande"

"The last time I saw Pastor Taiwo, I had just survived a storm. For some reason, I decided to volunteer in the choir at the London Thursday Showers (as this was my department back then in Nigeria). I never forgot the words of encouragement you gave me without me saying anything. The message you preached that day about Lazarus has never left me. Lastly you asked me a question “how is ministry?” I still didn’t know what you meant but as I forged ahead I understood that gifts of God upon my life must never be dormant. It is the reason I sing, it is the reason I’m fervent for the Lord. I say it again “your seed lives in me, my family and many other”.

The Lord will keep all the children (biological and spiritual) till we meet again🙏🏿.

Sun re, sun re, sun re. Sleep well my Papa till we meet again."

"Never met you! But I sure felt all the pains you ever went through. I pray you find rest now and enjoy seeing both wives of your lifetime. Have you seen your sister Kehinde also? Please dance as much as you can- and don’t forget to join the bass voices of heaven: they surely couldn’t wait too long for you to come sing with them. Say me well to my uncle Yemisi who passed 2 months ago and my friends Moji, Damola and Tobi ❤️❤️❤️"

"My first encounter with you was the watch night service sometimes in 2019 or 2020. That was the day I witnessed a turnaround in my life when you mentioned that we should pick a promise. Since then my lines have been falling to me in pleasant places.
You are a true worshipper, spirit filled and great man of God. You constantly teach me faith, worship, prayer and absolute reliance on the word of God.
Though you may have left us in flesh, but we know that you will forever live on in our hearts and minds as you have left an indelible mark in our lives.
Do rest in the perfect peace of God dear Pastor!"

"I was totally devastated to hear of the passing to glory of my father in the Lord, the inimitable Pastor Daniel Taiwo Odukoya. The pain was indescribable. Totally shattering.

However, with today’s ministration by his own father in the Lord, Bishop Mike Okonkwo; preceded by words of comfort whispered to my heart directly from the throne of grace; it seems I will get beyond the tears and arrive at a place of reveling in wonderful memories of Pastor Taiwo.

His support during a very difficult period of my life saw me emerging stronger. And that was who he was: an encourager, exceedingly kind, but also very firm and very fair.

How I wish that I got the chance to have one last one-on-one conversation with you. I would have told you how much you mean to my daughter and I. Alas, it wasn’t to be so.😢 But I guess you know now - in Heaven, our knowledge will be perfect.

Fare thee well, Man-of-God like none other… present with the Lord! Forever. And ever."

"I like him for his humility and his passion for Christ.
We will miss you, Sir.
The Holy Spirit will continue to be with your families and Church that you left behind. Amen"

"Thank you sir for being God’s general and for teaching us humility. We will continue God’s work here on earth. We know you have joined the cloud of witnesses cheering us on."

"Gone too soon but nevertheless,He is gone to rest and receive His reward!
His reward will be HUGE!!!
Well done good and faithful servant.

Our God is sovereign.
Give beauty for ashes Lord.
It is well!!!"

"In God we trust and find peace. Pastor Taiwo Odukoya still in shock but I know we can’t question the giver of life. May your soul rest in God’s glory."

"We love you and you will forever remain in our hearts. Rest well because you fought a good battle and conquered,for we will forever worship on your behalf"

"I am a Young Person, so i did. Not have any direct contacts with him. My relatives were members (officials) of the church so let him occasionally but this tribute is not based on their relations to him. But rather to the people I don’t know, I found out about the tragic news and saw a period of mourning from people I didn’t know as members of the church, and I believe that as humans when we pass on to the father, how people talk about us is very indicative of our person.

A very kind soul, steadfast in the word of God, although he had endured many challenges he still stood strong in the face of them all in his belief with God. And for that alone I can say that he would not only be sorely missed but his character not only as a pastor but as a person would be greatly felt. But I can rest easy knowing that he has moved on to meet God and may his soul rest in perfect peace."

"Our Pastor, Our Bishop, Our shepherd, our Father, our Mentor, our Prayer warrior, our Support, our Encourager, our disciplinarian….just a few of the many things you were to us. We will miss you Pastor Taiwo, we will miss your teachings, your dancing, your energy, your voice, your guidance… we will miss you Pastor T.
Pastor T you taught us to always praise n worship God, never losing hope even in the face of adversity or when it’s hard to do so. We saw you do it to the very end… you walked the WORD to the letter, we are all witnesses.
We are trying to do just what you would want us to do during this trying period though it’s hard …but we will be here worshiping all the days of our lives till we all meet at the feet of our Master Jesus to part no more.
I pray the Holy Spirit comfort and strength his children, every member of the Odukoya family and the fountain of life church in Jesus name. Amen.
It’s indeed our year of the Holy Spirit."

"I have been in fountain of life church for up to 14 years
And all my life I have been in fountain pastor Tiwo odukoya has always delivered me from all my tears and pain when they was nobody to meet I could walk up my pastor.
I was so devastated when I heard about all his lose but I know to myself that there is no amount of gold that anybody can use to purchase your presence and impact in the fountain of life church
Your children you left on earth are not orphanage because you have the whole church to watch over them because the house of God still stands and it will never crumble or be destroyed by the devil.
Your children will be your successor, the achievement of your goal as far they are alive your spirit is also alive
May your soul continue to rest in peace and may the almighty God continue to protect your family and may they rise and shine in Jesus name.Amen"

"My dearest pastor. Thank you for all you did . You were a blessing to many .. continue to rest in peace general.."

"Our dear Pastor Taiwo, you were a great blessing to my family and I, it’s painful but our hope is in God to comfort and strengthen us. Rest on in the bosom of the Lord… Adieu"

"This is hard for me to write.Words fail me Pastor T.Your simplicity and humility,your genuine love for humanity and Christianity.Your poise and grace in the face of adversity.
Still in shock.
This is a personal loss for me.
My heart is broken.
The role you played during my sister’s illness and death despite not knowing us one on one..just church memebers.

You have finished your race and yes you ran well.
Sleep on dearly beloved in your savior’s bosom."

"Pastor Taiwo Daniel Odukoya was a humble General of God. I came to Fountain on a Sunday in search of a church to join, that same Sunday i saw how humble Pastor Taiwo was and i decided to keep coming to Fountain because of his humility. I thank God that my perception of Pastor Taiwo was so correct and accurate. Pastor Taiwo was a true worshiper.
May his gentle soul rest in peace."

"Rest in perfect peace the incomparable general of God till we meet to part no more"

"Pastor Taiwo was not just our Pastor, he was a father, a friend, an encourager, and a man who led by example. His focus was always the Master and by following him closely, we have also learnt to focus on the Master.

He will be sorely missed. His was a life of impact and I am grateful to God our paths crossed."

"He was my father. After my dad abandoned our family, God blessed me with pastor Taiwo. Even though I never met him one-one except during anointing & church services , but he impacted God’s words and promises that stood with me and shaped my life. I will forever cherish his memory in my heart. I love you so much pastor Taiwo. ❤️"

"Dear Sir,
Only a few men has walked this earth realm with the kind of grace you carry. You wield a rare scepter of leadership and priesthood that was uniquely imputed into you by our Lord Christ Jesus.
I bless God who has called you back unto himself and pray He finds another worthy in our generation who your ancient mantle will rest on.
I love you Sir and will miss you sorely.
Bye for now Sir cos I’m sure I will someday walk the streets of gold with you.
Rest in Power my dear Pastor ."

"May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace 🙏..He was my mentor,something I attend church just to listen to me preach,even though I get tired closing from work on Sunday morning I still want to hear him preach…will miss him so much"

"When a man says he is a project in the hands of the Lord , HE IS ! I thank God for making me a partaker of the blessings from this “Great & Mysterious Project “ !!

Pastor TAIWO loved God so much and was never in a hurry to drop a prayer at anytime . I must say he truly loved God and it was evident the way he lived his life in simplicity, humility, thanksgiving and reference to God always.
Thank you Pastor for all your teachings, making us understand the fire of the Holyspirit can come to anyone willing to accept.
You were truly a Leader and I pray your Legacy lives on.

I know we are in a war front , and there is no retreat nor surrender, it’s just difficult to accept. Clearly you fought the good fight of faith, you finished well like you always said to us, we will too. Hmmm! The church is marching on and the gates of hell WILL not prevail.

We keep moving in the name of Jesus!

Thank you Pastor Taiwo!

I was speaking with a friend on how you were one Pastor who pushed your female pastors and leaders to shine brightly. You lived it and epitomised it.

It was in Fountain I saw so many female CEOs who were church leaders doing so well in their fields. Thank you for the joy you always had around you. You effused joy so abundantly and brought forth joy every season you were at. I remember after losing Pastor Bimbo your sermon in church how you made us dance and rejoice, how you reminded us that was it only in good times we praised God? We also praised him in bad times as well.

Thursday showers with you was a time of raw miracles and blessings, I remember praising my way into distinct miracles. Every service in fountain was so joy filled...

My single days were marked because you gave of yourself to the Lord.

Till we meet on the other side of eternity. Good night papa"

"Dear Pastor Taiwo, thank you for leaving such an indelible mark in the world. Thank you for your display of character through several trials of life. You are truly an epitome, an icon, of the grace of God in flesh.

I was an avid reader of your column “Insights for men.” I learned so much from those columns. One of your pieces left an indelible mark in me. It was about a man who graduated from school with a mediocre result, however, he applied himself to the word, meditating on it everyday, especially during his break time. When he was going to retire, he gave his testimony and at this time he had become a big shot. He built schools and gave so much to his community.

I look forward to doing the same in my lifetime and I want to thank you for shining the light. I also loved your construction of words and how you would use the Webster dictionary to explain them.

I learned so much from you from afar and I wish I had the opportunity to say thank you in person. Nevertheless, when we meet at the master’s feet, I’ll be sure to give you a big hug and say “thank you; I’m the soul that was saved because of you.”

Adieu, dear Pastor Taiwo, God’s general of our time."

When I was homeless with my family, I prayed and you were able to get this in the Spirit and you helped me and everyone in the dungeon of homeless. Now that our Master had called you home, I am confident that we will make God proud as you did, because you had duplicated yourself in us, I remain strong in faith, trusting God, remaining in His strength, walking in His purpose for my life more than ever before. Thank you Dad for given to the Lord. I love you Sir. My heart is still very heavy because there is vacuum in my heart because of your ascension to glory. I love you Sir. Please, hug Pastor Bimbo & Pastor Nomthi, my late Brother and LORDS JESUS for me. I love you Sir."

"Still can’t believe you are gone . Thanking God for your life which is a testament of pleasing God . Thank you for teaching and most importantly for living the example you preached ! May your soul find rest in Gods bossom. God keep your family and the church always in Jesus name amen ."

"Pastor Taiwo was my one and only Pastor and Father-in-the-Lord and the Fountain of Life Church has been my church for over 22 years.

Pastor Taiwo is a true man of God. He is a true worshiper and he practiced what he preached by standing firm in Christ and always demonstrating faith in God before the church and the entire world at large.

Despite his remarkable achievement in career and ministry he was very humble. There are just few humble successful pastors; he was one them if not the most humble amongst them.

I was a Muslim and The Fountain of Life Church has been my church since I gave my life to Christ. I am certainly going to miss this great man of God. I just wonder, who is going to be my father-in-the-Lord now? May his soul rest in peace and may his prayers over his biological children and spiritual children come to pass in Jesus mighty name. Amen."

"I loved Pastor Taiwo and Pastor Bimbo for years while I was residing in Abuja. Immediately I relocated in 2007, I joined the tfolc. Am blessed beyond measures knowing Pastor Taiwo. He was a mentor, a spiritual guide, a father and a faithful man. We were truelly blessed by God having Pastor with us."

"Pastor Taiwo Odukoya!! Adieu great servant of God. You came, lived & fulfilled purpose. You will forever be fondly remembered for your deep, passionate & genuine love for souls and the children. Now on the other side of eternity with the souls of the just men made perfect. Tons of Love."

"Live your life as if Christ is coming the next minute, plan as if Christ will not come for another 20 years. This part of a message he preached emphasized his practical kingdom consciousness and he lived it out, reflecting Christ to us all.
From GSVC to the orphanage home; outreaches to Oshodi and Ilupeju (immediate environs), scholarships and so much more, his ultimate goal was that Jesus Christ be glorified and he exemplified Christ with his love and care for people.
Pastor Taiwo, thank you for so many wonderful memories, you lived a life of impact and influence. Rest on in the bosom of our Lord."

"Words fail me....where do i start?
My first vivid memory of seeing pastor Taiwo was in 1981 when i noticed this dating couple frequently passing along our street at Olasonde Street, papa-Ajao and coverted their godly virtue.
Fast forward to 1983, i was in Unilag with Tunde Williams and was invited to a wednesday fellowship called faith clinic, this was where i saw pastor Taiwo again ministering along with Past. Tunde Jooda.
I gave my life to Christ on my first visit because of what i have seen in both couple earlier.
When i got married we desired to attend a church to raise our children in the godly way, a friend invited us to TFOLC where i reconnected again with past Taiwo and wife.
My family grew under the biblical teachings of our spiritual father. He nurtured my marriage through the Married Women Ministry, sitting under the ministry classes of pastor Taiwo and also the Womenleader mentoring fellowship has assisted me to navigate through my career, making me outstanding among my peers.
An incidence i could never forget was in 2019, i received his call while in a state of distress and confusion in Central Africa, it was Gods intervention to get me back on the path of my purpose.
Theres more to say about this great Gods General selfless in every way....while thanking God for this priceless gift, a vacuum no one can fill has been created in our family..
Thank you past Taiwo for giving yourself to the Lord....im a life that was saved and blessed by God through your ministry."

"This is really hard for me and I still cry…. My Pastor you will forever be missed. Adieu."

"Pastor Taiwo Odukoya was a father to many if there was anything I loved about pastor Taiwo it’ll be how much he loved God and late pastor nomthi . He was a man that never stopped smiling and singing even when he preaches he always had a song to sing . He taught me how to pray fervently and he also helped me develop the habit of getting closer to God. His death still feels like a dream to me but you’ll be greatly missed❤️ rest in perfect peace pastor Taiwo 🕊️🫡"

We love you pastor but God loves you more. It’s hard to say goodbye, thank you for who you were to millions of us ♥️♥️"

"THE MAN WHO BUILT WITH LIVING STONES
About eighteen years ago, when I found myself in the Fountain of Life Church, I was a spiritual refugee in search of food and shelter.
I had just been forced to leave a church where I had dedicated myself for many years because I had dared to privately challenge a lie which the church (or its leaders) had told in public and in the ensuing melee, my soul was savaged. I learnt the hard way that Christian brothers (and sisters) have the capacity to wound you deeply, and then look you in the eye and cut you again and even then, our Father will ask you to forgive them.
I forgave them, but the bond of fellowship had become broken because in the absence of truth and repentance, the congregation had become to me no more than a social gathering. And so, I left and became a wanderer, a disciple without an earthly master, going from church to church, seeking true fellowship and a refuge for my soul, but at the same time very wary of men.
As a result of my antecedence, when I came to the Fountain of Life Church, I remained very withdrawn and distrustful, but Pastor Taiwo had a way of reaching out to me in a manner that told me that he knew I was reclusive, but that he accepted me just the way that I was. He was willing to wait for me to heal but the only condition he gave everyone was that you must in your own way and at your own level, do the work of God with fervency, with love and with an open heart.
And I looked for the guile in him, but I found none. I searched for the pride to be found in men of influence but found only the mind of Christ. I kept a look out for the backstabs, the innuendo and the gang-ups, but found no such thing, only an abundance of love, of self-sacrifice and a man who preached nothing except Christ crucified and risen again.
I did not need to ask anyone where the tithes and the offerings went. I could see the money feeding the hungry right before my eyes, clothing the naked, comforting the distressed, giving shelter to the destitute, educating and giving a future to the castaways and those found under Oshodi Bridge and the most poverty-stricken ghettos of Lagos, bringing succour to the persecuted churches of the North and not forgetting those in the IDP camps, while also taking the gospel to the uttermost parts of the earth.
Having a deep understanding of the principles of citizenship of the Kingdom of Heaven, and yet preaching a simple uncomplicated gospel, he walked the earth with a palpable anointing of the Spirit of God, transmitting his wisdom to his flock even as he guarded us jealously, teaching and nurturing us precept by precept, line by line, here a little, there a little, with words, by a gentle touch, and by the example of his own life. In our time of rejoicing, he rejoiced with us, and in our time of sorrow, wept with us. He was never too busy to give love even to absolute strangers. Everybody had his phone number. He made disciples of us all, so that we too may go into the world and make disciples of all men.
Pastor Taiwo taught us that the House of God is not built with brick and mortar, and we are the epistles of Pastor Daniel Taiwo Odukoya, written in our hearts, known and read by all men, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart.
For the House that Pastor Taiwo built is a house of living stones; it is a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people, to show forth the praises of him who has called us out of darkness into his marvellous light.
And because the House that Pastor Taiwo built was built by the Spirit of the Living God, it shall endure forever, as it is written even as the Preacher said “I know that whatever God does, it shall be forever. Nothing shall be added to it, and nothing shall be taken from it.”
Amen.
By Valentine Emeka Utulu"

"Pastor Taiwo was a visionary leader, a strong man of faith who was passionate about God and service to God.

He believed so much in the efficacy of the word of God and the power embedded in it. He would advise us about having a closer and better relationship with God, and would constantly enjoin us to “Know God for Yourself.”

I will miss him so much, because I received the Holy spirit under his ministration. Heaven is rejoicing over him. Rest in peace, my dearest Pastor Taiwo."

"A lover of God, a great teacher of the word, an excellent worshipper. His memories will forever be cherished."

"Forever touched by the strength of God in you. After everything you went through you still praised God. You’ll forever remain in our hearts. Of all people, you deserve to dance with the heavenly hosts the most. I pray you’re enjoying your time with your loved ones up there and the almighty. Rest well sir."
