Jimmy Odukoya, sister installed as church leaders

Jimmy, a son to the late pastor of the Fountain of Life Church, Ilupeju, Lagos, was installed as the senior pastor of the church on Saturday, September 30, 2023. His sister, Tolu Odukoya-Ijogun, was also named the associate senior pastor.

Jimmy and Tolu’s parents, Taiwo and Bimbo, co-founded the church in 1992.

The installation ceremony, which was held at the headquarters of the church in Ilupeju, was attended by several eminent personalities in Christendom, including the presiding bishop of The Redeemed Evangelical Mission, Mike Okonkwo and his wife, Peace; the president of The Sword of the Spirit Ministries, Wale Oke; and the senior pastor of Foundation of Truth Assembly, Yomi Kasali.

While delivering a sermon at the service, Oke reminisced on how humble the late Taiwo was, and also applauded the church for giving him a befitting burial. He added, “God used Pastor Taiwo and Bimbo Odukoya to found this church, and God is our cornerstone. They spent their years to honour God, and God has done them well.”

The new leaders of the church were then formally installed by Okonkwo, who was described as the ‘grandfather’ of the church.

This was because he prayed for Taiwo when the church was founded, and had guided him all through the years.

He said, “I remember many years ago, big mummy (his wife) and I laid hands on your parents when this church started, and today, we are also laying hands on both of you. God does not use perfect instruments. He uses those who seem unqualified to the natural eye.”

In an emotional laden voice, Jimmy then offered prayers to God, saying, “As your son, I want to say ‘thank you’. You have seen the sum total of who I am, and have placed me in this position. It is only by your grace that you have put me here.


“Thank you for putting me in the family of Pastor Taiwo and Bimbo Odukoya, and for making me carry their name. They stood, and despite the adversity, they carried your flag till their dying breath. Beyond the title, you looked at me and called me worthy.”

Hmmm.

As a Disciple of Christ, I am an amateur on this brand of Pentecostalism where son and daughter replace their father and mother to take over the running of affairs, and the concept of Pentecostalism itself , I will patiently allow myself to be guided on this issue.

It's obvious that TREM may likely take same route when the Founder is advanced in age or goes to be with the Lord. Check my signature for free stuffs.

There is absolutely nothing wrong in having children replace their parents in Ministry.

What is wrong is if the children are not spiritually qualified to hold such position and you give it to them just based on physical relationship.

My prayer for the young man and his sister is that they submit wholeheartedly to GOD ALMIGHTY in truth and in spirit.

Ministry is beyond inheritance. Ministry is God's business. God does not need your height, your degree, your expertise or financial power to run his business.

Infact if the only qualification you have is that it is my father's church, you will be an experimental tool for the devil to waste.

If you want to truly see God work through you, you Must genuiely and personally yield yourself to Him.

Pentecostal Christianity , by default, is a private business enterprise usually run by a family.

Who should you be blaming if you really care? People like the op or people who have turned the church from what it was to a business centre?

But when they are raising money to build exotic church buildings, they would tell donors that those contributions are made to God. People should be under no illusions and accept that penticostal charismatic churches are personal family ventures.

What makes children of founders of churches to be "spiritually" qualified to hold such positions after the death of their parents?

I watched a little bit of the handing over to Jimmy and his sister Tolu on their YouTube channel yesterday.

A lot of them will do the same. Winners o, Embassy o, Their children are all pastors manning big churches in Europe and America.

By the time the owner passes away, It is transferred to the children or the wife and then it remains permanently in the Family.

I don't have anything against them using their children as successors afterall it is a family business. What I have against is them saying it is what the Holy spirit wants. No it is not as that is a blantant lie.

If tommorow I want to start going to church,You won't find me in any pentecostal church. I'll prefer to go to an Orthodox church

Today's brand of pentecostalism was created for financial prosperity preaching and was created as a family business and it shall remain so in Jesus name. grin grin

Ministry isn't butter and bread...

It involves much Bible studying, prayer and fasting, night vigils, strong faith, persecutions, agape love, selflessness, etc.

It is not something you inherit from your parents as you do property. You must be specifically called.
