The remains of Senior Pastor of The Fountain of Life Church (TFOLC), Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, have been buried in Lagos.
Pastor Odukoya died about a month ago in the United States of America.
The remains of the preacher, whose church headquarters is in the Ilupeju area of Lagos, were buried on Saturday in a private ceremony attended by family members and close associates.
A funeral service was held earlier in the day at the headquarters of the church
In his sermon at the event, Bishop David Abioye extolled Pastor Taiwo’s legacies while commiserating with Fountaineers on the demise of the cleric.
He told the audience that life was about impact, asking them to maximise their time on earth.
According to him, every man must taste death, but that what mattered in the end were the legacies people left behind.
“We have to be sensitive to how we spend our life because all man shall die,” he said.
“The big question to all of us is, how are you living?”
Apart from Bishop Abioye, other dignitaries who graced Saturday’s funeral service included Dolapo Osinbajo, the wife of ex-Vice President Yemi Osinbajo; The Redeemed Evangelical Mission (TREM)’s Bishop Mike Okonkwo; the Senior Pastor of Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC), Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo; House on the Rock’s Pastor Paul Adefarasin, a delegation from the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), among others.
Born in Kaduna, North-West Nigeria, Pastor Taiwo is survived by five children, including Nollywood star Jimmy Odukoya.
