The Senior Pastor of Fountain of Life Church, Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, has expressed gratitude to God for the legacies left behind by his late wife, Bimbo, on the tenth-year anniversary of her death.
Recall that the beloved preacher popularly called Pastor Bimbo by her spiritual children and followers of her ministry lost her life in the ill-fated Sosoliso plane crash of December 10, 2005, alongisde 102 others.
Taking to Instagram, Pastor Taiwo wrote:
“It is exactly ten years since the grim incident that led to the passing of my late wife, ‘Bimbo Odukoya. Yet, as I look through the years, I am awash with feelings of gratitude. God, in His character, has been faithful. I am particularly grateful for the life that ‘Bimbo lived and the legacies she left behind.
It is incredible that ten years after her passing, her teachings continue to impact families, and the initiatives she drove while with us, are still here, touching the nations. Indeed, only God could have chosen an eager teenage girl and built her into a woman of international repute, to His glory alone. Only God could have given such a unique assignment and given the grace to run with it. And only God could have determined when the curtains were drawn. If there is therefore any lesson we must consciously strive to remember, it is that there is a divine calling and assignment on every life God created. As we celebrate ‘Bimbo today, let us stop to ask ourselves: ‘am I truly in the place of my assignment? am I living the life God intended?’ This should drive your life’s philosophy as it did hers. The world will celebrate your influence in Jesus name.”
Pastor Taiwo is presently married to South African, Rosemary Simangele Zulu, a lady he married five years after the demise of Pastor Bimbo.
