— Photos from the celebartion of Pastor Taiwo Odukoya at 60
Friends, family and followers came to celebrate Pastor Taiwo Odukoya at 60 last week. It was a celebration of life and that of an exemplary leader.
The celebration that was attended by personalities including International worship leader Don Moen, Pastor Mike Okonkwo, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and many more saw an outpouring of eulogy for the man of God and endorsements for his legacy.
Bishop Mike Okonkwo said;
“Many are quick to flaunt their successes and exploits but my take is this – “Do not tell me how successful you are alone, tell me about how many scars you have had as a Christian soldier. The question l ask is – What will you do when your miracle is stolen? Will you stand steadfast as a true soldier of the cross or will you give up and back out?”
Pastor Taiwo Odukoya’s first child and daughter, Pastor Mrs. Toluwani Ijogun –Nee Odukoya said;
“When I consider the way my daddy loves God, I ask myself – Can I really love God like this? We have watched him 360 degrees and he is the same at home and outside. He is the same on and off stage. He is an enigma, a true servant of the most High God.”
His oldest son, Pastor Jimi Odukoya emphasised that just as “Every parent prays for a child that will surpass him in success and achievements, every child also prays for a parent he/she can be proud of as his dad or mum.”
Tobi Odukoya;
“Like a soldier, he was wounded but like a good soldier, he bounced back stronger and better. It has been sixty years of obedience, integrity, tenacity and victory.”
Chairman of the First Bank of Nigeria Plc, Mrs. Ibukun Awosika, who is also a pastor at Fountain of Life Church said;
“Under his leadership, we have been taught how to stand in righteousness, stand against every evil device, still going by the scriptures even as we claim our rights. He is a believer in every soul. He can love the unlovable in the world. He has got the heart of gold. He is a leader, builder and nurturer. He has turned many from zero to their zenith of testimony… All I know about integrity that is being celebrated all over the world today I learnt through Pastor Taiwo. As his children and protégés, we shine on his behalf everywhere we go because of the impact you have made in our lives,”
