PASTOR Taiwo Odukoya, the co-founder of Fountain of Life Church loved and cherished his late wife, Bimbo whose life was devoted to building homes through her television programme, Singles and Married. Bimbo was among the 107 passengers, that perished in the ill- |

fated Sosoliso aircraft that crashed at the Port Harcourt International Airport on December 10, 2005.
Still trying to come to terms with the death of his wife, Odukoya in a press interview expressed regrets that he did not show his late wife more love than he did before her death.
Although she was never short of affection from her husband, her widower believes he had the capacity to have shown her more love.
"If I had known what the 10th of December 2005 had in stock for me, I would have brought out all my aces. I am one man that was really satisfied in marriage while my wife was fulfilled in life. I said to my wife on several occasions that I wish I could show her more love. This word always comes as a surprise to her. But in honesty, I know I have the capacity for more, which I did not invariably do. I have the capacity for more that I know in Jesus name, moaned Odukoya.
Odukoya, recently gave in to the popular demand to bring out from the cooler 'Discovery for Women,' one of the many unreleased works of his late wife.
He said though, Bimbo might be dead, her spirit was very much around, adding that she was irreplaceable. According to him," Pastor Bimbo lived well. She did all that she could. During her interment, someone said she lived, she loved and she served. She had a lot in common with Mary of Bethany. She is gone and can never be replaced. But one thing I know is that she had already reproduced and her spirit is very much around."

He speaks further:
GOD'S PLAN
Sounding philosophical, Odukoya confessed that "while talking to myself, I discovered that God is a master planner. My wife crossed all the Is and dotted all the T's, yet God still has his plans. When you pray to God for direction, though He Will guide you but He still has his plans. He will only show you what He wants you to see or ought to know.
Sometimes, I want to ask God the question why He gave us the ministry, the mission and the marriage, and everything was built around it but all of a sudden my wife was removed from it. What do I do?
And in answer to that question, He says that I am unique. I am not like any other man or woman on earth. That I am Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, the one He gave the grace to marry Bimbo Rosemary Williams that later became Odukoya. If only I can appreciate my uniqueness, then the future has just began. But I continue to ask myself if I can really find another human being that will be like my wife.”
Some great men could have died and long gone but for the mummy that will never stop praying and grandmother that will never stop fasting and praying. |

The Supernatural Woman
"I am one person that believes that the role of a woman is subtle but seriously important. If God did not relegate the role of a woman, any man that tries to do so is a loser. The leading democracy in the world, which is America, has never had a woman president. That means something is wrong. That is to tell you that the understanding of the woman is still a problem for the man.
The woman is supernatural being that can see what the man can never see. Do not get a woman praying because something will happen that will change the course of event. The founder of the Foursquare Gospel Church, Ami Sample McPherson is such a woman. She shook the world with her ministry. '
Some great men could have died and long gone but for the mummy that will never stop praying and grandmother that will never stop fasting and praying. Prayer brought about the little boy, Samuel in the Bible, and it was not the prayer of daddy but that of mummy. She told God that if only she can be given a child she in turn would give the spiritual destiny of the child to Him.

"My wife was simply a rare lover. She loved Jesus so much that I refused to be jealous. She could travel four times in a week and yet her marriage never suffered. She was simply good. She could touch Houston, touch Abuja and London and land before Sunday. She was so passionate that on the eve of her departure, I spoke with her on the phone and from the tone of her voice, I discovered that she was tired but yet she kept going."
