June 30, (THEWILL) – Penultimate week the family of late Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, the founder and senior pastor of the Fountain of Life Church alongside members of his church, held the inaugural edition of a special annual lecture in commemoration of his 68th posthumous birthday. This was followed by a legacy dinner which culminated in a book launch. The book which is a collection of essays by the late cleric is titled, ‘Reclaiming The Nigerian Dream, A Collection of Essays’. The venue was Civic Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos and it was an opportunity to honour a man whose impact on faith, community, and family remains deeply felt by those who knew him.
He was a man of good things: a leader, pillar, teacher and importantly, a reference for strength. Odukoya was a cleric who demonstrated toughness against the tests of life. He remained steadfast and full of praise amidst a storm of grief that would have sent some men spiralling. He was also a philanthropist who impacted lives through the Fountain of Life Church, which he founded with his first wife. Odukoya attained fame in his own right with his refined brand of preaching the gospel. His messages were based on leadership development and building successful relationships and enterprises, which fetched him a wide range following worldwide. He was an accomplished author with over 100 books and praying manuals. Titles like Unleash Your God-given Potential, Created for Blessings, Limitless, Home Affairs, The Proof, Get All You Want, The Portrait of a Champion, 120 Days of Victory, 121 Days of Blessings, 125 Days of Favour etc. Odukoya died in the United States on 7 August 2023 at the age of 67. Following Odukoya’s death, his two eldest children Jimmy Odukoya and Tolu Ijogun became the Senior Pastor and the Associate Senior Pastor of the Fountain of Life Church respectively.
