Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, a General Par Excellence 

News filtered in a few days ago concerning the demise and home-going of a general in all respect, Pastor Taiwo Odukoya 

The body of Christ, especially in Nigeria, got a rude shock and it dawned on us that this wonderful amiable man of God has transitioned into glory.

His first wife, Pastor Bimbo Odukoya shook the entire landscape of Christianity in Nigeria with her novel message to Singles and Married before she passed away at the age of 45. It was as though she had lived a hundred years in terms of her impact on the body of Christ.

A deep appreciation even emanates when you discover that her ministry which shook the whole world when there was no social media, began with her obedience to her husband, Pastor Taiwo Odukoya.

He told her to speak to the singles and that was it! This is an excellent lesson for young wives to learn from! Rev Victor Adeyemi, who met Pastor Taiwo after the demise of his wife, attested that Pastor Taiwo kept saying she was a submissive woman!

Fast forward, years after, Pastor Taiwo remarried, but sadly enough, his second wife also transitioned into glory. 

He gallantly went through these earth-shaking griefs and continued in his assignment. He judged God faithful.

Now, he’s reunited with the loved ones he has lost, and he’s undoubtedly dancing and rejoicing, in that place where we would know as we are known! 

Perhaps, you have a lot of questions in your heart, as I do too.

We are the ones that see such as loss, on the other side, death is conquered, it’s homegoing, and I can imagine mighty angels heralding and ushering this great man of God into eternity where there is no sadness, sorrow, or any form of grief.

Everybody has something great to say about this man. He certainly lived and fulfilled his ministry. I had an encounter with him when he came to minister at Premier Hotel, Ibadan, in 2008, hosted by Rev Niyi Eboda.

I was pastorin at Triumphant Assembly under Rev Femi Oduwole, and we needed some finances to move into a new auditorium. I simply emptied what was in the church account at the time (N10,000) and wrote him a check when I saw the grace of God in his life.

It was a Wednesday. By the weekend of that week, we had in excess of a Million Naira, (from the same members) and we were able to move! 

The grace of God on him was undeniable! 

Several years later, Pastor Bimbo Odukoya’s Facebook page would be a platform that launched Kisses and Huggs Club into social media prominence!

Their impact cuts across! We will miss him, but he is happier where he is now! 

We pray for his children, God will keep them and uphold them in Jesus’ name! 

Let their lives challenge you to fulfill destiny and God’s purpose for your life!

Good morning!
