26. So Papa has gone home. May his soul rest in perfect peace. Baba was a highly respected person even Muslims in the community in those days at Gbelekale had a great respect and regards for him. He was a disciplinarian, even we that are not his biological children feared and reference him. He was a peace maker among the landlords and even when the children were fighting he made peace for them. In Ministry, he was just an upright and fearless minister of God rightly expounding the word of God. I remember when he lost his first son Bro Folorunsho (if my memory serve me right), he did not allow the incident to affect his ministry and service to God. He was just a great man. I remember the church Divine Love Gospel Church was built with planks, it grew to the extent that people used to sit outside before a larger auditorium was built. He was just a great man of God. I am sure that crown of life reserved for faithful servant is already waiting for him because he served his maker with all his heart while on the earth here. Adieu Papa - Pst Femi BOLARINWA

Bunmi Akintola and Mrs D K Igbinsola - Bunmi Akintola
36. Pa S M Idowu, An Icon is gone, A rock is gone to eternity. We will miss you for a while, but not loose you. Gallant soldier of Christ, you are full of hope, hope in your Saviour who has redeemed your soul to have it eternally at the second advent, when the Lord comes to recompense you on all what you have done. Good night Baba. E sun re o. Pastor & Evangelist (Mrs.) Peter Fola Olapade. - Peter Folaranmi Olapade
37. Pa Samuel Modupe Idowu, my father, my father, and my father. He laid the foundation of faith in my life. Under his preachings, teachings and prayers I became born again. He taught me to read the Bible, to pray and to add the dimension of fasting. He taught me to wake up and pray in the night, not only in congregational vigil, but on regular personal vigil. He taught me to always dedicate the last day and first day of every year to fasting and prayer seeking the face of the LORD in my little way then. He taught me to have dreams and interpreted my dreams. Each time I took my dreams to him as teenager, he interpreted them and told me to keep the dreams. He made me realized I will be a minister of the gospel whatever I do in life. He told me to add education to my calling so it might have acceptance in my generation, always saying, the coming generation will need knowledge before you can minister to them. He took me to his library to see how he invested on books to meet up with the challenges of elites in the body of Christ. Baba, I knew I missed your companionship at a time I needed you most. I was separated from you by religious 'zealots'. The early Pentecostal sealeousness pushed me away from you untimely. You fought to retain me, but could not prevail on the decree of the 'Persians and the Medians". You nurtured me as a father to a son. You took me as your first son, and breeded me with your children. You never at anytime call me a church member, rather your first son. Thank God, you made my 'siblins' realized I am part of the home. You contributed greatly to my career, you prayer for me to excel. To the glory of God your prayers have Fulfillments in my life. Today what you said my destiny is for is what it's fulfilling - a fulfilled minister of the gospel. The bond of love and unity you preached to us in our morning devotions are working, my brothers and sister see me as their first born. They called me when our mummy slept that I should come and play my 'firstborn role' and still calling me now to be with them as the firstborn, to glory of God. I remembered you wispered it to my ears the last time I visited you that, Olukayode, (Baba're), don't forget that I love you as my son. Though you were not allowed to stay with me but your love is regularly in my heart. Daddy, you were a rear Love Personified, you lived true to your calling - Divine Love Gospel Church. I know you are sleeping, you will wake up at the Resurrection, you have joined the Victorious Church, you have fought and conquered, you have laid down your sword at the feet of Christ, sooner, I will sing the song of the Conquerors with you as I keep on the firing line. Adeue My Father. Rest on Pa Samuel Modupe Idowu. - ADEWUYI EZEKIEL OLUKAYODE
38. Words are not enough to describe Baba but one thing I know is he was my father, mentor, encourager, loving, giver and hospitable. Pa Idowu has contributed a lot to my spiritual achievements today. I will ever continue to remember him for the good old days especially "Youth Week'in 70s.. May the Lord continue to bless the family and the works he left behind. Adieu Pa ldowu. It is well! - Apostle Dare Ojo
39. The only time I met this man of God in my life was quite revolutionary and spiritually empowering. It was at GBM in Pretoria about 20 years ago. He was talking about structural integrity and I was never the same again. My desire had been to one day visit him in Nigeria but God's plans were not mine I will definitely see him one day when we will be together with Jesus - Advocate Rufus Malatji
40. Pa S M Idowu, was a father I never had, very caring, loving and a man of God indeed, will miss you daddy may your soul rest in peace IJN. - Olaosebikan Oluyinka
41. *TRIBUTE TO AN ICON OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD. LATE REV. DR. MODUPE SAMUEL IDOWU* . Beloved Father and God's General. Your transition unto glory was what I was so privileged to have witness through divine revelation by the holy spirit in my dream. Up till the moment that am writing this tribute, I lack words to describe the kind of radiance of God's glory that was surrounding you at that moment. Your face was so much radiating with God's glory without wrinkles. In my dream I saw how two men in pure white carried you and placed your body in a special cubicle fill with the glory of God just like Jesus transfiguration was explained in the bible. The cubicle was designed with Gold and white and you were robed in white suit from head to toe. I was so involved in your funeral in my dream and I remember how I was called to clean up the room where you would be laid in state. Up till now I kept on pondering on why I was assigned to take up the cleaning of the room where you would be laid in state. In my dream, I saw lots of people waiting for me to clean up the room for you to be laid in state for their viewing. I must say that this is one those visions/dreams that will always be in my memory and can never be forgotten. This tells me how much of an asset you are to God and his kingdom. Truly heaven gained not only a soul, but a general of God's army. Even though you have gone to be with the lord, your voice still echoes in our minds. The prayers, declarations and pronouncements you made upon my husband, myself and the ministry can never be forgotten. I remember when I related this to you over the phone you simply said " EMI KII SE OMODE MO. IGBAKUGBA TO OBA YA, MO TI SE TAN . AWON ALASO FUNFUN TI WA N WO MI " . ( " I AM NO LONGER BABY, I AM READY AT ANYTIME TO GO. ACTUALLY THE ANGEL HAVE BEEN VISITING ME.") Your response to the dream narrated to you and your readiness to go be with our heavenly father, your creator took a huge turn in our lives. Thanking you for being a true hero of faith and of God's kingdom while you were alive. Your legacy remains indelible in our minds and minds of those who has been able to have an encounter with you during life time. Adieu God's own general. From Apostle philip & Prophetess Tonia Ozobu. Founders: Vineyard of God Glory international Ministries ( VOGGIM) South Africa. - Prophetess Tonia Ozobu
42. The Star,a rock and an Apostle of our time has gone home to be with the Lord. What can I say at this point in time. A father, a mentor, the one we run to anytime we experience an unforeseen gridlock in ministry! This I cannot forget Papa, as you proffered solutions, counsels and encouragement at a time of despair and dejection. Your fatherly advice at early beginning of ministry as to what man really is proved altogether, prophetically true in later years as we moved on in ministerial work. Thank you Papa. This is unforgettable to all of us. Papa, as I personally know you from day one, you stood for Justice, honesty, integrity, holiness and fair play. Hey! If you know you can not defend a matter in the presence of the person concerned, don’t bring this before Papa. His righteousness , sincerity and truthfulness stood firmly. Papa you loved all,even your detractors knew this very well as you would not keep malice in your heart. You cared for all as an outstanding Shepherd of the sheep. You exuded love and this had been the motivating factor in all you did. For the little time you departed, we have missed you a great deal, your wealth of experience, wisdom, fatherly counsel and the likes. But we take solace in the fact that you have gone home to be with the Lord. Adieu Papa Samuel Modupe Idowu.Eternal rest and peace grant his gentle soul O Lord. Pastor ‘Doja Ojo. Christ Living Seed Assembly, Apete, Ibadan. - Ojo Oladoja.
43. In my 40 years of ministry, I have not seen a man of God that was totally blameless except Pa Rev. Idowu. He stood for truth and pure, undiluted theology all his life. He could have compromised for money, fame, women, or material things of this world; he didn’t. He lived a righteous life and his end was so. I will miss you, baba and the body of Christ will miss your unfathomable wisdom. Rest well, Pa Idowu - Adeyemi Olusanya

135. My Dear Father in-Law, I Bukola Idowu, nee Adepoju (your first daughter-inlaw) will forever appreciate the way you trained my husband Idowu Moses Sunday . You thought him how to hold his family together , how to fear and reference God and how to serve the Lord in spirit and in truth with integrity. I am a beneficiary of your relentless labours over my husband. I Really appreciate you for your prayers over my children ( your grandchildren). They are moving from glory to glory in all ramifications. HALLELUJAH..... Let me mimic you, beloved father in-law. Thank you for the music inspirations you passed to your dear Son , Moses Sunday Idowu ( my husband). It is now an indelible legacy my husband has passed to our children (your grandchildren). There was a particular experience I cannot overemphasized. Everytime I would deliver each of my three boys, I had to be prayed for by you, else,the baby would not come, no matter who might have prayed. All our children were born with and in prayers. Above all, your legacies will forever linger in my heart. Rest on and live on. Idowu Bukola nee Adepoju. - Idowu Bukola nee Adepoju
136. To my dearest grandfather Rev. Dr. Samuel Modupe Idowu. I cannot but thank you for all you have done directly or indirectly for our children, grandchildren and myself in particular. From raising a God fearing son in the person of Idowu Moses Sunday to nurturing to him into being a man/ of God he is today is extremely spectacular. Also , Grandpa , you were able to introduce the love of music to your children and the legacy is now transferred to us your grandchildren. Grandpa, this cannot be left untold. The Bible said, " By their fruits, you shall know them" . Yes, I cannot agree for once, because , the values, morals and above all, the fear/ love of GOD you have taught your children (your fruits) are still living and are echoing beyond you. Note that your grand children including me, ADEDAMOLA SAMUEL IDOWU are beneficiaries of these long and enduring investments. YOU ARE JUST A SMART INVESTOR and an enviable sower. THANK YOU FOREVER. You might probably not have realized how important your labours on your children have turned gold, but check the fathomless results on your children's children. I,as a grandchild promise to keep the flag flying by the grace of God until eternity. GRANDPA,I want to say a massive THANKS to you. Beloved Grandfather, I believe it is my duty to carry on the responsibility of making sure that my own children know the importance of a relationship with God and having their own personal relationship with God. It is the ultimate. Dearest grandfather, I would like to say a massive thank you , you have ran your race and without a doubt, you have finished as a champion. Enjoy your crown in the land of gold and joy. Rest in peace, you deserve it . Much love Samuel Adedamola Idowu - Idowu Samuel Adedamola
137. I'm just short for words, I don't even know where to start & what to say about my bossom father that people won't think that I am exaggerating. Baba ldowu, as we fondly called him, was a man of faith, he believed in God so much that he didn't take any steps without consulting God through prayer for his approval. He was always content with whatever God gave him, he sought the kingdom of God first, he didn't seek money & things of this world. He always told us that " IT IS A FEARFUL THING TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF GOD" He was a Caring father, growing up, if anyone of us fell ill, he would excuse his wife, he would stay by his/ her bedside praying & recite psalms till daybreak. He was a wise man, there was no one that came across him wouldn't be blessed from his wealth of wisdom. He was a wise & skillful disputes peace maker. He was a accommodating father,; his house was always full of different personalities & you could never leave his house hungry or empty handed. He was a man that appreciated kind gesture; kind gesture to him begets kinder gesture from him. He cherished education so much that he always encourages the people around him ( including his domestic staff) to send their children to school; at times he would pay their children's school fees anytime they sent them home for payment default. He taught me how to be prayerful & patient in life; he would say to me " ALWAYS LOOK UNTO JESUS IS THE FINISHER OF YOUR FAITH " ALSO CHRIST IN YOU IS THE HOPE GLORY " DON'T LOOK BACK. I can't say enough of this precious gift to me, my siblings & humanity; this gift called REV ( DR) SAMUEL MODUPE IDOWU. DADDY, I LOVE YOU, YOU WILL FOREVER BE MISSED. ADIEU - Idowu Seun
138. Daddy Idowu lived a fulfilled and exemplary life that is worthy of emulation. He lived his life both in the circular and spiritual world not only as a teacher of the word but a doer of of it as exemplified in the life of his maternal and spiritual children. His call to glory is definitely a gain to Heaven as confirmed in Psalm 116: 15 "precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints" Adieu Daddy. - Tope Adeniji

143. In 1990, I was going back to School in Ado Ekiti and I went to say bye to Baba Idowu at Ile Aperin, Ibadan. He was giving other people money including his own biological children as it was resumption season. Soone of them (name withheld) refused because he felt the money was small. So he asked him to bring the money and never gave him anything. Brother Folorunso of blessed memory quickly called me and said "Did you see what happened now?". He said "Once Baba gives you anything, prostrate and say thank you". So Baba called me and gave me #5, I prostrated and thanked him, then he said, "Omo to gbon ni Iwo" (You are a wise child) not knowing that I leveraged on Brooda Folorunso's wisdom. God bless Brooda Folorunso, amen. Baba Idowu was instrumental to my success in ministry. His son Evang Moses Idowu is my Mentor who invited me to the crusade where I gave my life to Christ Jesus at OAU, Ile-Ife, organised by Abundant Life Campus Fellowship. Baba Idowu as the spiritual father to Rev A.A. Afolayan who trained and ordained me into ministry. I refer to him as my spiritual grandfather๐. Just as Steve Job is alive till date because IPhone and apple products are in use till date. So also Baba Idowu is alive because someone like me and thousands of my type are alive carrying the Baton of Gods kingdom and it's Gospel around the world through Divinity for Humanity. To Live is Pain but To Sleep is Gain. Death is just a carrier of man to his final destination. Baba Divine Love, Your Posterity and Legacy lives on. Grace and Mercy Always amen.

145. The quality of a father can be seen in the goals, dreams and aspirations he sets not only for himself, but for his family." —v “Daddy are most ordinary men turned by love into heroes, adventurers, story-tellers, and singers of song.” – “‘Father’ is the noblest title a man can be given. It is more than a biological role. It signifies a patriarch, a leader, an exemplar, a confidant, a teacher, a hero, a friend.” in which you are.S.M “He was a father.He Eases the burdens of those he loves. Saves the ones he loves from painful last images that might endure for a lifetime.” Sleep on daddy.. we miss you for a lifetime Goodnight - DAIRO TAIWO

147. Pa Idowu was a great man of God. I was born into church and I got my vital Christian foundation in the institution he founded. He was there for us when we lost our parents particularly our mum when we were housed in Mission house immediately after the news. He was really a pillar. I can recall a day I went visiting and he was counseling about to Wed couple, he invited me to join and learn so was his openness in passing knowledge. - Tolulope Fasina
148. Dear Grandpa. I know you are no longer with us , but I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all that you have done for my family and I , direct and Indirectly. I have so much love and so much respect for you for all that you were able to teach and led us to do through our parents (Moses and Bukola Idowu.). You were able to show us how to love , how to respect one another , how to persevere through any difficulty, and most importantly how to serve God wholeheartedly. I really thank you for the prayers and blessings you poured over me in one of the unforgettable days in 2021. All these blessings and prayers shall be established and answered in my life in Jesus name. You are such a Wonderful Grandfather. Grandpa, you encouraged all your children to learn and play one musical instrument or the other, that legacy is now transferred to my brothers and I. Praise God, your legacy transcends your children to your grandchildren. The good news is that, my brothers and I are now instrumentalists. We are worshipping the Lord in spirit and in truth with our musical gifts. Grandpa, keep resting in the bosom of the Lord. Your legacy will never be extinguished.

150. John 6:36 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. This bible verse was one of your favorite verses in the bible and will resonate with me till the end of time. For some reasons, since your passing it has stayed with me permanently that not a single day will pass that it wont flash through my mind. You did not fail to always reiterate the need to long after things of the spirit other than the flesh or worldly things; the need to focus more on heavenly than the earthly!. So now I remember all the preaching and verses in the bible that you have used both at church and home and they have become flesh and live with me now; they are truly spirit and life as shown in John6:36. It is not a mistake that I am your son because I know there must be a reason why I came to this world through you and your tutelage. I pray all my experiences as a child and a growing adult under your training and discipline will take their roots in all your efforts to equip me ready for God's plans and purpose for my life and bring about a divine narrative of my essence and being. Amen. Adieu Daddy. Babatunde Idowu. - Babatunde Idowu

157. What a mighty God baba served! I read everything that everyone wrote and not a single one showed reproach. What more can I say of Pa Idowu, a man after God's heart. Baba Divine Love, as we called him; I had interactions with him several times when he visited our church, The Gospel Faith Mission, when Rev. George was alive. Pa George was very loyal to him and loved Pa Idowu. Everyone looked up to Pa Idowu as an uncompromising man of God, a man full of wisdom. There's no doubt in my mind that the angels are rejoicing and welcoming him to the kingdom. Sleep well, Pa Idowu, sleep well till we meet again. - Samson Akinrinade

165. I met Baba Idowu in the pastorium of Divine Love Gospel Church in 1979 on how to actualize a vision a vision that God gave me. He engaged me in Godly discussion for hours, after which I believe he assessed me and was satisfied with me. That day, he threw his weight on me, to back me up, giving me loads of fatherly and Godly advice. He demonstrated to me how to support a young man of God. Greatest of all is that each time that God shows him to me, he always appeared in sparkling white. Once, God showed him to me as a boxer. I was told he fights according to the rules. He fights clean and always won. I understood this to mean fighting in prayers. Baba was a self-developed, diligent and wise leader. He led efficiently many highly intelligent and highly educated people in many Christian organizations. My wife, my family and ministry were proud to be associated with him and his family. I enjoyed the privilege of intimate relationship with him and the wisdom he imparted to me will remain a treasure with me forever. I am delighted to know by revelation that he is in the bosom of our Lord. I pray that I and many many will persevere and be with him in glory, Amen. - Rev. Ademolaami A. Afolayan
166. Thank you grandpa for everything you have done for the idowu family. I want to thank you especially for always showing such love and care for me and for always praying for me.

We love you and we miss you. - Funso Idowu
167. Baba is man of the people and a revolted Christian - Otunba Gbenga Oladele
168. He comes,He sees,He conquer - Adediran Adewle @ Niyi Oladimeji
169. When Bishop Benson Idahosa described Rev. Idowu as a true man of God, it immediately caught everyone's attention because Bishop was not the type that spoke vain words. He was a true definition of a man of God without blemishes and stains. No one heard from any quarters of scandals that beset today's so called "men of God" about Rev. Idowu. May God raise his type in this generation. Amen. Salute sir! - Faith Odiase
170. (Niyi Oladimeji) I’m so sorry for the loss of your father. Please accept my heartfelt condolences My thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones right now and for forever. May the Almighty God forgive Baba. Amen ๐ - Olasupo Abdulahi Ademola

178. How can I forget the day you gave me the entire money in your possession when I cried to you for help that my children were expelled from school. That was in 1993 that you gave me 7 thousand naira when all I needed was just 5 thousand naira, but you asked me to feed my family with the rest. I was a poor teacher. Those children today are very successful, thanks to you my dear father in the Lord. You were larger than life, you were an epitome of service. You fought a good fight, you have won the race, Baba Idowu. Thank you for everything! - Adeolu Adelakun
179. REV. DR. S. M. IDOWU - THE PATRIARCH OF DIVINE LOVE GOSPEL CHURCH AND FATHER OF MANY NATIONS: Passion for souls drove him to Otukpo, Benue State in 1979 with a successful Crusade where I gave my life to Jesus Christ. I caught the Liquid Fire of the Holy Spirit in him. Like many others, by 1984-87, he brought me up in his house and trained me in Divine Love Bible College. He was good, kind, generous, truthful, tough and faithful. May God multiply your type in homes, churches and nations in the world. No more pains, keep resting in the Lord till we meet at the feet of Jesus Christ. - Pst. Dr.& Evang. Ejelowoicho, Vice President, DLGC INC.,

182. Daddy was the epitome of godliness, kindness and service - to God and humanity. Daddy, along with mommy (also of blessed memory), accepted me, a childhood friend of Bayo but essentially a stranger, with an open arm, opened their home and world to me unconditionally and treated me as one of their own. The world has lost a rare gem! Rest in eternal peace with the Lord dearly beloved Daddy! - Sina Siyanbola
183. Never met him but Tolu always had something nice to say about him so I know how much he meant to him - Hannah
184. He was a father to me, a man who walked in God's light and lived a purposeful life. I never looked forward to anything better than his prayers, a man of the spirit whose prophecies do come through. He was full of wisdom, one with a cheerful and welcoming heart. He has finally been called home to rest with the angels and I know the whole of heaven would rejoice that finally, a true son of God is home. Even though to us, its as if he should live 50 more years and stay with us, but God has longed for his son and called him home to rest. May light perpetual continue to shine over him. -Iyanuolwa Adisa - Jacob Iyanuoluwa Adisa
185. He's a loving grandpa. Simply the best. He will be greatly missed. Sleep on grandpa - Adisa oluwafemi esther

191. Baba lived a good life.RIP. - Barr Gbenga&Engr Mrs Kemi Omiwole
192. Daddy Rev Dr Samuel Modupe ldowu is an exceptional father. Finding the right words to accurately describe a wonderful father is extremely difficult. Lots of words jumped into my mind but l feel they aren’t adequate. Indeed Daddy was a great gift to me and this generation in particular. His gentle fragrance of love spreads across board ever since l met him. He readily fathered since my first contact with him and will always pray for me. I cherish his prayers of ‘Ore Ofe’ for me, wife and children so much. He was warm, accommodating, easy going, calm, considerate, highly intelligent, amiable etc. His house is always filled with many people that lived with him and never-ever complained or blinked his eyes. He enjoyed hosting such a huge number of people and spends so much on them with all joy. We recognize the fact that times and seasons are in God hands, so Daddy & Mummy Idowu plus my Greatest Friend Folorunso encountered God and enjoyed the Grace of God during their life times. Over the years Folorunso remains irreplaceable in the depth of my heart. Daddy served God fervently so, it’s has pleased the Lord to call him home to rest. So we can’t complain but we give thanks to God a life well lived. Rest In Peace Daddy. Toyin Olufadeji. - Toyin Olufadeji

196. Baba Idowu literally inducted me into the ministry. He laid his hand on me some 12 years ago after my ministry had struggled for over 20 years; it was the answer that I needed. I wish he would have had the time to visit my congregation in Lagos to pour blessings upon them. He was one of the very few most truthful and honest ministers of our generation.

202. The most important thing I’d like everyone to know is that he made the biggest impact in my life because without him, I wouldn’t be who I am today. He watched me grow and I watched him make great impact in other people’s lives as well. He’d rather starve than see anyone else suffer and that’s one of the a million things he’d planted in us, his seeds. He’s the MOST amazing man ever. I love him more than I could ever love anyone and I’m going to miss him forever! - Toluwalase Idowu
203. Papa, Though we never met, I see your reflection in the children you left behind. Particularly Bayo Idowu( my former Boss). A great personalty, intelligent, eloquent, tolerant and youthful to the last. The path you chose says it all, serving The Lord throughout your lifetime. An enviable path indeed. May you continue to rest in the bossom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ till we meet to part no more Sir. God bless, Kehinde Michael Lapite - Kehinde Michael Lapite

206. TRIBUTE TO A BELOVED FATHER Daddy was not only a father in-law to me, but he was also a father indeed! He stood for the truth, loved and accommodated everyone. He believed that everyone is precious to God and could be redeemed no matter what.... (If someone came in during the family devotion, Daddy would commence his sermon that was about to end all over again. I remember my NYSC days at Aperin, when Mummy Idowu (of blessed memory) would give me a sign to leave for work as soon as a visitor came in during the devotion). Daddy will be remembered for many things, he will be fondly remembered for how he concluded his prayers "SIGNED, SEALED, ESTABLISHED IN THE PRECIOUS NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST". Dear Daddy, your life spoke volumes, your legacy lives! Sleep on Beloved Father. -Oyinlola Idowu - Oyinlola Idowu
207. God's general, selfless leader, gently looking but a lion personified who fears no one, he inflicted in me the word of determination with the acronym that was boldly written and posted conspicuously on the wall that says WHEN THERE IS WILL THERE IS WAY. He always told me to read it until it eventually sank into my brain anytime I visited the mission house at weekends or during the holidays until it became a watchword. A disciplinarian who doesn't spear anyone, he reset your brain to factory settings with his rod accompanied with his slogan in Yoruba language (e bo) I.e rush him if you're attempting to escape his disciplined. Baba loves his family without discrimination good night baba I miss you. - Seyi Ojo

211. Pa Idowu and his dear wife spread Divine Love beyond the church and as kids, we are beneficiaries of such gesture. That is why we are still sticking with the Idowu family after almost fifty years of association. He held the church firmly and controlled his family. It is not easy to score high on both fronts. Pa Idowu was a father indeed and I am happy I came across him in my lifetime. Adieu to a great servant of God and His image. - Oladipupo Ogunsola
212. I grew up to know Daddy Idowu as our first Pastor and Teacher through my dear mother. Daddy Idowu was so passionate of the gospel of Christ. He is a Man of God.

His contribution and influence in Evangelism in Nigeria and worldwide cannot be under rated. It is so gladsome to note this God's general had many impressive attributes of Jesus Christ: - in humility - in love, kindness, above all Papa Idowu was emotional like Jesus who wept at the grave side of his friend, Lazarus. Papa Idowu will emotionally shed tears on any issue that touched his heart. - in prayers and supplication, Papa Idowu was a prayer warrior who believed in the efficacy of prayer and committed all challenges into God's hands. I would like to mention that Papa Idowu was a reputable dignified in-law of the Olaniyan family of Efon Alaye (his son Bayonle Idowu married our daughter Oyinlola Cynthia Idowu, nee Olaniyan. The memories of my last visit to him will continue to linger on in my heart. Papa Idowu came, did his best and sowed bountifully in God's vineyard and he is happily resting in His bosom. Rest on beloved Papa Idowu till we meet again on Resurrection day. - Chief Tunji Olaniyan M.O.N - Tunji Olaniyan
247. Papa Idowu accommodated us. The Idowu and Obisesan families were the nearest to our school, but the Idowu gracefully took us in. One of my friends would describe Pa Idowu as if it was yesterday, they last met. He had a lot to say when I told him that pa passed away. We both felt the difference between Obisesan and Idowu households. At the Idowu's there was a place we had to keep quiet and another where we had the latitude to laugh and shout. I am not blaming anybody. It was different ground rules and may God bless the soul of Pa Obisesan. The Idowu's house was a home to all of us. Oladipo Ogunsola - Oladipupo Ogunsola
248. Baba oninure, baba afenifere. He gifted me my very first agbada and I kept it for so many years. How can I forget this kind man? May the angels of the Lord celebrate you - Adeojo Omolade

My life changed because of him. - Deacon Adeoye - Deacon AdeoyePapa was a disciplinarian, kind and always ready to help. He's my model on know what you want and go for it. Don't lie and distance yourself from fear in that fear defeats success. He will sleep well at the blossom of the Lord God Almighty. Rest well Baba awa แปmแป boys of 80s. - AJALA OLAOLUWA ADELEKE
251. Indeed, we have lost a hero, a giant, father, and everything. I have not seen anybody stronger than you. Stronger than your faith in God. Stronger than your willingness to love, to unite and to propagate the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Stronger than your humbleness. Stronger than your love for your family and the church. Nobody is stronger than you. I have never seen a man who's been through so much and be willing to go through even more. I bless you. God bless you. God will be with you for the benefit of us all. You will be dearly missed. - Gbeminiyi Oladimeji

163. "Daddy -n -mission" as we fondly called him was a centripetal force among we -the children. He (and mummy) took us ALL -blood and neighbour sons and daughters, as his. Luckily, we grew up, at that "age -grade, when there was no religious bigotry. All the children belonged to the community (and by extension, all the parents in the community) where they grew.It was "communal parenting ". As a Muslim, I would enter into the church (Divine Love Gospel church; which of course is not up to a stone's throw to my Dad 's house) and the mission house, freely, anytime after having prostrated before Daddy. "Pele o, Rasheed ", Daddy would respond, smiling, to my greetings. "Tunde /Remi wa nile ", he would direct me to their room. As I am friend to Tunde, Remi and Wole, I had /have Brothers Sunday and Bayo, as my dear "area " brothers. Each time Brother Bayo gathered us into his room, to teach us "Philosophy ", Daddy's nods spurred us on. Daddy's "mission house " was /is for us ALL. His memories shall be indelible in our minds, as youth. A Disciplinarian per excellence, Daddy was a teacher of virtues. Struggles to make ends meet made someone like me missed him, even before his call to glory. Adieu, Dad! Continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord! Rasheed Ajao (Ile Aperin, Ibadan) - Rasheed Ajao

PA Idowu will be remembered for his love for God and the grace of God on his life as the founder of Divine Love Gospel Church worldwide. His life is a classic example of what God does in the life of his Soldiers. He was blessed with many years, wonderful children and grandchildren that I have been blessed to meet and relate with in my life time. Till we meet to part no more, may his soul continue to rest in perfect peace. Idowu Olayiwola - Idowu Olayiwola

26. So Papa has gone home. May his soul rest in perfect peace. Baba was a highly respected person even Muslims in the community in those days at Gbelekale had a great respect and regards for him. He was a disciplinarian, even we that are not his biological children feared and reference him. He was a peace maker among the landlords and even when the children were fighting he made peace for them. In Ministry, he was just an upright and fearless minister of God rightly expounding the word of God. I remember when he lost his first son Bro Folorunsho (if my memory serve me right), he did not allow the incident to affect his ministry and service to God. He was just a great man. I remember the church Divine Love Gospel Church was built with planks, it grew to the extent that people used to sit outside before a larger auditorium was built. He was just a great man of God. I am sure that crown of life reserved for faithful servant is already waiting for him because he served his maker with all his heart while on the earth here. Adieu Papa - Pst Femi BOLARINWA

36. Pa S M Idowu, An Icon is gone, A rock is gone to eternity. We will miss you for a while, but not loose you. Gallant soldier of Christ, you are full of hope, hope in your Saviour who has redeemed your soul to have it eternally at the second advent, when the Lord comes to recompense you on all what you have done. Good night Baba. E sun re o. Pastor & Evangelist (Mrs.) Peter Fola Olapade. - Peter Folaranmi Olapade
37. Pa Samuel Modupe Idowu, my father, my father, and my father. He laid the foundation of faith in my life. Under his preachings, teachings and prayers I became born again. He taught me to read the Bible, to pray and to add the dimension of fasting. He taught me to wake up and pray in the night, not only in congregational vigil, but on regular personal vigil. He taught me to always dedicate the last day and first day of every year to fasting and prayer seeking the face of the LORD in my little way then. He taught me to have dreams and interpreted my dreams. Each time I took my dreams to him as teenager, he interpreted them and told me to keep the dreams. He made me realized I will be a minister of the gospel whatever I do in life. He told me to add education to my calling so it might have acceptance in my generation, always saying, the coming generation will need knowledge before you can minister to them. He took me to his library to see how he invested on books to meet up with the challenges of elites in the body of Christ. Baba, I knew I missed your companionship at a time I needed you most. I was separated from you by religious 'zealots'. The early Pentecostal sealeousness pushed me away from you untimely. You fought to retain me, but could not prevail on the decree of the 'Persians and the Medians". You nurtured me as a father to a son. You took me as your first son, and breeded me with your children. You never at anytime call me a church member, rather your first son. Thank God, you made my 'siblins' realized I am part of the home. You contributed greatly to my career, you prayer for me to excel. To the glory of God your prayers have Fulfillments in my life. Today what you said my destiny is for is what it's fulfilling - a fulfilled minister of the gospel. The bond of love and unity you preached to us in our morning devotions are working, my brothers and sister see me as their first born. They called me when our mummy slept that I should come and play my 'firstborn role' and still calling me now to be with them as the firstborn, to glory of God. I remembered you wispered it to my ears the last time I visited you that, Olukayode, (Baba're), don't forget that I love you as my son. Though you were not allowed to stay with me but your love is regularly in my heart. Daddy, you were a rear Love Personified, you lived true to your calling - Divine Love Gospel Church. I know you are sleeping, you will wake up at the Resurrection, you have joined the Victorious Church, you have fought and conquered, you have laid down your sword at the feet of Christ, sooner, I will sing the song of the Conquerors with you as I keep on the firing line. Adeue My Father. Rest on Pa Samuel Modupe Idowu. - ADEWUYI EZEKIEL OLUKAYODE
38. Words are not enough to describe Baba but one thing I know is he was my father, mentor, encourager, loving, giver and hospitable. Pa Idowu has contributed a lot to my spiritual achievements today. I will ever continue to remember him for the good old days especially "Youth Week'in 70s.. May the Lord continue to bless the family and the works he left behind. Adieu Pa ldowu. It is well! - Apostle Dare Ojo
39. The only time I met this man of God in my life was quite revolutionary and spiritually empowering. It was at GBM in Pretoria about 20 years ago. He was talking about structural integrity and I was never the same again. My desire had been to one day visit him in Nigeria but God's plans were not mine I will definitely see him one day when we will be together with Jesus - Advocate Rufus Malatji
40. Pa S M Idowu, was a father I never had, very caring, loving and a man of God indeed, will miss you daddy may your soul rest in peace IJN. - Olaosebikan Oluyinka
41. *TRIBUTE TO AN ICON OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD. LATE REV. DR. MODUPE SAMUEL IDOWU* . Beloved Father and God's General. Your transition unto glory was what I was so privileged to have witness through divine revelation by the holy spirit in my dream. Up till the moment that am writing this tribute, I lack words to describe the kind of radiance of God's glory that was surrounding you at that moment. Your face was so much radiating with God's glory without wrinkles. In my dream I saw how two men in pure white carried you and placed your body in a special cubicle fill with the glory of God just like Jesus transfiguration was explained in the bible. The cubicle was designed with Gold and white and you were robed in white suit from head to toe. I was so involved in your funeral in my dream and I remember how I was called to clean up the room where you would be laid in state. Up till now I kept on pondering on why I was assigned to take up the cleaning of the room where you would be laid in state. In my dream, I saw lots of people waiting for me to clean up the room for you to be laid in state for their viewing. I must say that this is one those visions/dreams that will always be in my memory and can never be forgotten. This tells me how much of an asset you are to God and his kingdom. Truly heaven gained not only a soul, but a general of God's army. Even though you have gone to be with the lord, your voice still echoes in our minds. The prayers, declarations and pronouncements you made upon my husband, myself and the ministry can never be forgotten. I remember when I related this to you over the phone you simply said " EMI KII SE OMODE MO. IGBAKUGBA TO OBA YA, MO TI SE TAN . AWON ALASO FUNFUN TI WA N WO MI " . ( " I AM NO LONGER BABY, I AM READY AT ANYTIME TO GO. ACTUALLY THE ANGEL HAVE BEEN VISITING ME.") Your response to the dream narrated to you and your readiness to go be with our heavenly father, your creator took a huge turn in our lives. Thanking you for being a true hero of faith and of God's kingdom while you were alive. Your legacy remains indelible in our minds and minds of those who has been able to have an encounter with you during life time. Adieu God's own general. From Apostle philip & Prophetess Tonia Ozobu. Founders: Vineyard of God Glory international Ministries ( VOGGIM) South Africa. - Prophetess Tonia Ozobu
42. The Star,a rock and an Apostle of our time has gone home to be with the Lord. What can I say at this point in time. A father, a mentor, the one we run to anytime we experience an unforeseen gridlock in ministry! This I cannot forget Papa, as you proffered solutions, counsels and encouragement at a time of despair and dejection. Your fatherly advice at early beginning of ministry as to what man really is proved altogether, prophetically true in later years as we moved on in ministerial work. Thank you Papa. This is unforgettable to all of us. Papa, as I personally know you from day one, you stood for Justice, honesty, integrity, holiness and fair play. Hey! If you know you can not defend a matter in the presence of the person concerned, don’t bring this before Papa. His righteousness , sincerity and truthfulness stood firmly. Papa you loved all,even your detractors knew this very well as you would not keep malice in your heart. You cared for all as an outstanding Shepherd of the sheep. You exuded love and this had been the motivating factor in all you did. For the little time you departed, we have missed you a great deal, your wealth of experience, wisdom, fatherly counsel and the likes. But we take solace in the fact that you have gone home to be with the Lord. Adieu Papa Samuel Modupe Idowu.Eternal rest and peace grant his gentle soul O Lord. Pastor ‘Doja Ojo. Christ Living Seed Assembly, Apete, Ibadan. - Ojo Oladoja.
43. In my 40 years of ministry, I have not seen a man of God that was totally blameless except Pa Rev. Idowu. He stood for truth and pure, undiluted theology all his life. He could have compromised for money, fame, women, or material things of this world; he didn’t. He lived a righteous life and his end was so. I will miss you, baba and the body of Christ will miss your unfathomable wisdom. Rest well, Pa Idowu - Adeyemi Olusanya

135. My Dear Father in-Law, I Bukola Idowu, nee Adepoju (your first daughter-inlaw) will forever appreciate the way you trained my husband Idowu Moses Sunday . You thought him how to hold his family together , how to fear and reference God and how to serve the Lord in spirit and in truth with integrity. I am a beneficiary of your relentless labours over my husband. I Really appreciate you for your prayers over my children ( your grandchildren). They are moving from glory to glory in all ramifications. HALLELUJAH..... Let me mimic you, beloved father in-law. Thank you for the music inspirations you passed to your dear Son , Moses Sunday Idowu ( my husband). It is now an indelible legacy my husband has passed to our children (your grandchildren). There was a particular experience I cannot overemphasized. Everytime I would deliver each of my three boys, I had to be prayed for by you, else,the baby would not come, no matter who might have prayed. All our children were born with and in prayers. Above all, your legacies will forever linger in my heart. Rest on and live on. Idowu Bukola nee Adepoju. - Idowu Bukola nee Adepoju
136. To my dearest grandfather Rev. Dr. Samuel Modupe Idowu. I cannot but thank you for all you have done directly or indirectly for our children, grandchildren and myself in particular. From raising a God fearing son in the person of Idowu Moses Sunday to nurturing to him into being a man/ of God he is today is extremely spectacular. Also , Grandpa , you were able to introduce the love of music to your children and the legacy is now transferred to us your grandchildren. Grandpa, this cannot be left untold. The Bible said, " By their fruits, you shall know them" . Yes, I cannot agree for once, because , the values, morals and above all, the fear/ love of GOD you have taught your children (your fruits) are still living and are echoing beyond you. Note that your grand children including me, ADEDAMOLA SAMUEL IDOWU are beneficiaries of these long and enduring investments. YOU ARE JUST A SMART INVESTOR and an enviable sower. THANK YOU FOREVER. You might probably not have realized how important your labours on your children have turned gold, but check the fathomless results on your children's children. I,as a grandchild promise to keep the flag flying by the grace of God until eternity. GRANDPA,I want to say a massive THANKS to you. Beloved Grandfather, I believe it is my duty to carry on the responsibility of making sure that my own children know the importance of a relationship with God and having their own personal relationship with God. It is the ultimate. Dearest grandfather, I would like to say a massive thank you , you have ran your race and without a doubt, you have finished as a champion. Enjoy your crown in the land of gold and joy. Rest in peace, you deserve it . Much love Samuel Adedamola Idowu - Idowu Samuel Adedamola
137. I'm just short for words, I don't even know where to start & what to say about my bossom father that people won't think that I am exaggerating. Baba ldowu, as we fondly called him, was a man of faith, he believed in God so much that he didn't take any steps without consulting God through prayer for his approval. He was always content with whatever God gave him, he sought the kingdom of God first, he didn't seek money & things of this world. He always told us that " IT IS A FEARFUL THING TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF GOD" He was a Caring father, growing up, if anyone of us fell ill, he would excuse his wife, he would stay by his/ her bedside praying & recite psalms till daybreak. He was a wise man, there was no one that came across him wouldn't be blessed from his wealth of wisdom. He was a wise & skillful disputes peace maker. He was a accommodating father,; his house was always full of different personalities & you could never leave his house hungry or empty handed. He was a man that appreciated kind gesture; kind gesture to him begets kinder gesture from him. He cherished education so much that he always encourages the people around him ( including his domestic staff) to send their children to school; at times he would pay their children's school fees anytime they sent them home for payment default. He taught me how to be prayerful & patient in life; he would say to me " ALWAYS LOOK UNTO JESUS IS THE FINISHER OF YOUR FAITH " ALSO CHRIST IN YOU IS THE HOPE GLORY " DON'T LOOK BACK. I can't say enough of this precious gift to me, my siblings & humanity; this gift called REV ( DR) SAMUEL MODUPE IDOWU. DADDY, I LOVE YOU, YOU WILL FOREVER BE MISSED. ADIEU - Idowu Seun
138. Daddy Idowu lived a fulfilled and exemplary life that is worthy of emulation. He lived his life both in the circular and spiritual world not only as a teacher of the word but a doer of of it as exemplified in the life of his maternal and spiritual children. His call to glory is definitely a gain to Heaven as confirmed in Psalm 116: 15 "precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints" Adieu Daddy. - Tope Adeniji
139. Pa idowu was a good daddy and one in a million daddy, may his soul rest in perfect peace - Adeyinka Dairo
140. Papa Idowu was one in a million. He speaks and stand by the truth. He had genuine love for people He was truly a man of God Sleep on sir. - Adetoun Ilori

142. Baba left a good legacy - Dr Oladoja Awofisayo
143. In 1990, I was going back to School in Ado Ekiti and I went to say bye to Baba Idowu at Ile Aperin, Ibadan. He was giving other people money including his own biological children as it was resumption season. Soone of them (name withheld) refused because he felt the money was small. So he asked him to bring the money and never gave him anything. Brother Folorunso of blessed memory quickly called me and said "Did you see what happened now?". He said "Once Baba gives you anything, prostrate and say thank you". So Baba called me and gave me #5, I prostrated and thanked him, then he said, "Omo to gbon ni Iwo" (You are a wise child) not knowing that I leveraged on Brooda Folorunso's wisdom. God bless Brooda Folorunso, amen. Baba Idowu was instrumental to my success in ministry. His son Evang Moses Idowu is my Mentor who invited me to the crusade where I gave my life to Christ Jesus at OAU, Ile-Ife, organised by Abundant Life Campus Fellowship. Baba Idowu as the spiritual father to Rev A.A. Afolayan who trained and ordained me into ministry. I refer to him as my spiritual grandfather๐. Just as Steve Job is alive till date because IPhone and apple products are in use till date. So also Baba Idowu is alive because someone like me and thousands of my type are alive carrying the Baton of Gods kingdom and it's Gospel around the world through Divinity for Humanity. To Live is Pain but To Sleep is Gain. Death is just a carrier of man to his final destination. Baba Divine Love, Your Posterity and Legacy lives on. Grace and Mercy Always amen.

The quality of a father can be seen in the goals, dreams and aspirations he sets not only for himself, but for his family." —v “Daddy are most ordinary men turned by love into heroes, adventurers, story-tellers, and singers of song.” – “‘Father’ is the noblest title a man can be given. It is more than a biological role. It signifies a patriarch, a leader, an exemplar, a confidant, a teacher, a hero, a friend.” in which you are.S.M “He was a father.He Eases the burdens of those he loves. Saves the ones he loves from painful last images that might endure for a lifetime.” Sleep on daddy.. we miss you for a lifetime Goodnight - DAIRO TAIWO
146. Papa idowu ,A Great Man of God will always be remembered for his good work in bringing many souls to the kingdom of God. A pillar of faith. Rest in peace. - KEHINDE DAIRO OLAYIWOLA
147. Pa Idowu was a great man of God. I was born into church and I got my vital Christian foundation in the institution he founded. He was there for us when we lost our parents particularly our mum when we were housed in Mission house immediately after the news. He was really a pillar. I can recall a day I went visiting and he was counseling about to Wed couple, he invited me to join and learn so was his openness in passing knowledge. - Tolulope Fasina
148. Dear Grandpa. I know you are no longer with us , but I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all that you have done for my family and I , direct and Indirectly. I have so much love and so much respect for you for all that you were able to teach and led us to do through our parents (Moses and Bukola Idowu.). You were able to show us how to love , how to respect one another , how to persevere through any difficulty, and most importantly how to serve God wholeheartedly. I really thank you for the prayers and blessings you poured over me in one of the unforgettable days in 2021. All these blessings and prayers shall be established and answered in my life in Jesus name. You are such a Wonderful Grandfather. Grandpa, you encouraged all your children to learn and play one musical instrument or the other, that legacy is now transferred to my brothers and I. Praise God, your legacy transcends your children to your grandchildren. The good news is that, my brothers and I are now instrumentalists. We are worshipping the Lord in spirit and in truth with our musical gifts. Grandpa, keep resting in the bosom of the Lord. Your legacy will never be extinguished.

150. John 6:36 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. This bible verse was one of your favorite verses in the bible and will resonate with me till the end of time. For some reasons, since your passing it has stayed with me permanently that not a single day will pass that it wont flash through my mind. You did not fail to always reiterate the need to long after things of the spirit other than the flesh or worldly things; the need to focus more on heavenly than the earthly!. So now I remember all the preaching and verses in the bible that you have used both at church and home and they have become flesh and live with me now; they are truly spirit and life as shown in John6:36. It is not a mistake that I am your son because I know there must be a reason why I came to this world through you and your tutelage. I pray all my experiences as a child and a growing adult under your training and discipline will take their roots in all your efforts to equip me ready for God's plans and purpose for my life and bring about a divine narrative of my essence and being. Amen. Adieu Daddy. Babatunde Idowu. - Babatunde Idowu
151. I did not have the privilege of meeting Baba personally in his lifetime however I can say that I met him through his son Pastor Moses Idowu. Omo eni, ni aworan eni.

157. What a mighty God baba served! I read everything that everyone wrote and not a single one showed reproach. What more can I say of Pa Idowu, a man after God's heart. Baba Divine Love, as we called him; I had interactions with him several times when he visited our church, The Gospel Faith Mission, when Rev. George was alive. Pa George was very loyal to him and loved Pa Idowu. Everyone looked up to Pa Idowu as an uncompromising man of God, a man full of wisdom. There's no doubt in my mind that the angels are rejoicing and welcoming him to the kingdom. Sleep well, Pa Idowu, sleep well till we meet again. - Samson Akinrinade

164. Papa Idowu left an indelible print in the service of God to man. May God rest his soul. - Mrs Dupe Ogunsola
165. I met Baba Idowu in the pastorium of Divine Love Gospel Church in 1979 on how to actualize a vision a vision that God gave me. He engaged me in Godly discussion for hours, after which I believe he assessed me and was satisfied with me. That day, he threw his weight on me, to back me up, giving me loads of fatherly and Godly advice. He demonstrated to me how to support a young man of God. Greatest of all is that each time that God shows him to me, he always appeared in sparkling white. Once, God showed him to me as a boxer. I was told he fights according to the rules. He fights clean and always won. I understood this to mean fighting in prayers. Baba was a self-developed, diligent and wise leader. He led efficiently many highly intelligent and highly educated people in many Christian organizations. My wife, my family and ministry were proud to be associated with him and his family. I enjoyed the privilege of intimate relationship with him and the wisdom he imparted to me will remain a treasure with me forever. I am delighted to know by revelation that he is in the bosom of our Lord. I pray that I and many many will persevere and be with him in glory, Amen. - Rev. Ademolaami A. Afolayan
166. Thank you grandpa for everything you have done for the idowu family. I want to thank you especially for always showing such love and care for me and for always praying for me.

We love you and we miss you. - Funso Idowu
167. Baba is man of the people and a revolted Christian - Otunba Gbenga Oladele
168. He comes,He sees,He conquer - Adediran Adewle @ Niyi Oladimeji
169. When Bishop Benson Idahosa described Rev. Idowu as a true man of God, it immediately caught everyone's attention because Bishop was not the type that spoke vain words. He was a true definition of a man of God without blemishes and stains. No one heard from any quarters of scandals that beset today's so called "men of God" about Rev. Idowu. May God raise his type in this generation. Amen. Salute sir! - Faith Odiase
170. (Niyi Oladimeji) I’m so sorry for the loss of your father. Please accept my heartfelt condolences My thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones right now and for forever. May the Almighty God forgive Baba. Amen ๐ - Olasupo Abdulahi Ademola

177. May Papa soul rest in peace - Folake Ogunleye
178. How can I forget the day you gave me the entire money in your possession when I cried to you for help that my children were expelled from school. That was in 1993 that you gave me 7 thousand naira when all I needed was just 5 thousand naira, but you asked me to feed my family with the rest. I was a poor teacher. Those children today are very successful, thanks to you my dear father in the Lord. You were larger than life, you were an epitome of service. You fought a good fight, you have won the race, Baba Idowu. Thank you for everything! - Adeolu Adelakun
179. REV. DR. S. M. IDOWU - THE PATRIARCH OF DIVINE LOVE GOSPEL CHURCH AND FATHER OF MANY NATIONS: Passion for souls drove him to Otukpo, Benue State in 1979 with a successful Crusade where I gave my life to Jesus Christ. I caught the Liquid Fire of the Holy Spirit in him. Like many others, by 1984-87, he brought me up in his house and trained me in Divine Love Bible College. He was good, kind, generous, truthful, tough and faithful. May God multiply your type in homes, churches and nations in the world. No more pains, keep resting in the Lord till we meet at the feet of Jesus Christ. - Pst. Dr.& Evang. Ejelowoicho, Vice President, DLGC INC.,

181. Great father and mentor. - Temitope Atunbi
182. Daddy was the epitome of godliness, kindness and service - to God and humanity. Daddy, along with mommy (also of blessed memory), accepted me, a childhood friend of Bayo but essentially a stranger, with an open arm, opened their home and world to me unconditionally and treated me as one of their own. The world has lost a rare gem! Rest in eternal peace with the Lord dearly beloved Daddy! - Sina Siyanbola
183. Never met him but Tolu always had something nice to say about him so I know how much he meant to him - Hannah
184. He was a father to me, a man who walked in God's light and lived a purposeful life. I never looked forward to anything better than his prayers, a man of the spirit whose prophecies do come through. He was full of wisdom, one with a cheerful and welcoming heart. He has finally been called home to rest with the angels and I know the whole of heaven would rejoice that finally, a true son of God is home. Even though to us, its as if he should live 50 more years and stay with us, but God has longed for his son and called him home to rest. May light perpetual continue to shine over him. -Iyanuolwa Adisa - Jacob Iyanuoluwa Adisa
185. He's a loving grandpa. Simply the best. He will be greatly missed. Sleep on grandpa - Adisa oluwafemi esther

188. I grew up in Divine Love Gospel Church that was founded by Dr Idowu and heard sound teachings and sermons from him on a regular basis.

191. Baba lived a good life.RIP. - Barr Gbenga&Engr Mrs Kemi Omiwole
192. Daddy Rev Dr Samuel Modupe ldowu is an exceptional father. Finding the right words to accurately describe a wonderful father is extremely difficult. Lots of words jumped into my mind but l feel they aren’t adequate. Indeed Daddy was a great gift to me and this generation in particular. His gentle fragrance of love spreads across board ever since l met him. He readily fathered since my first contact with him and will always pray for me. I cherish his prayers of ‘Ore Ofe’ for me, wife and children so much. He was warm, accommodating, easy going, calm, considerate, highly intelligent, amiable etc. His house is always filled with many people that lived with him and never-ever complained or blinked his eyes. He enjoyed hosting such a huge number of people and spends so much on them with all joy. We recognize the fact that times and seasons are in God hands, so Daddy & Mummy Idowu plus my Greatest Friend Folorunso encountered God and enjoyed the Grace of God during their life times. Over the years Folorunso remains irreplaceable in the depth of my heart. Daddy served God fervently so, it’s has pleased the Lord to call him home to rest. So we can’t complain but we give thanks to God a life well lived. Rest In Peace Daddy. Toyin Olufadeji. - Toyin Olufadeji

195. May his soul rest in peace. - Patricia Ajayi
196. Baba Idowu literally inducted me into the ministry. He laid his hand on me some 12 years ago after my ministry had struggled for over 20 years; it was the answer that I needed. I wish he would have had the time to visit my congregation in Lagos to pour blessings upon them. He was one of the very few most truthful and honest ministers of our generation. He is sorely missed. - Pastor Adeolu Oyeleke

201. Pa Idowu was a great man - Osasuyi Idowu Oluwaseun
202. The most important thing I’d like everyone to know is that he made the biggest impact in my life because without him, I wouldn’t be who I am today. He watched me grow and I watched him make great impact in other people’s lives as well. He’d rather starve than see anyone else suffer and that’s one of the a million things he’d planted in us, his seeds. He’s the MOST amazing man ever. I love him more than I could ever love anyone and I’m going to miss him forever! - Toluwalase Idowu
203. Papa, Though we never met, I see your reflection in the children you left behind. Particularly Bayo Idowu( my former Boss). A great personalty, intelligent, eloquent, tolerant and youthful to the last. The path you chose says it all, serving The Lord throughout your lifetime. An enviable path indeed. May you continue to rest in the bossom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ till we meet to part no more Sir. God bless, Kehinde Michael Lapite - Kehinde Michael Lapite

205. Knew him all my life. A man of God with outstanding character and Integrity. He was a father to everyone he came across. I cannot but remember the heart to heart talks we heard when I was growing up. Those talks impacted my life greatly. Baba, rest in God’s bosom. - Olatunde Adepoju
206. TRIBUTE TO A BELOVED FATHER Daddy was not only a father in-law to me, but he was also a father indeed! He stood for the truth, loved and accommodated everyone. He believed that everyone is precious to God and could be redeemed no matter what.... (If someone came in during the family devotion, Daddy would commence his sermon that was about to end all over again. I remember my NYSC days at Aperin, when Mummy Idowu (of blessed memory) would give me a sign to leave for work as soon as a visitor came in during the devotion). Daddy will be remembered for many things, he will be fondly remembered for how he concluded his prayers "SIGNED, SEALED, ESTABLISHED IN THE PRECIOUS NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST". Dear Daddy, your life spoke volumes, your legacy lives! Sleep on Beloved Father. -Oyinlola Idowu - Oyinlola Idowu
207. God's general, selfless leader, gently looking but a lion personified who fears no one, he inflicted in me the word of determination with the acronym that was boldly written and posted conspicuously on the wall that says WHEN THERE IS WILL THERE IS WAY. He always told me to read it until it eventually sank into my brain anytime I visited the mission house at weekends or during the holidays until it became a watchword. A disciplinarian who doesn't spear anyone, he reset your brain to factory settings with his rod accompanied with his slogan in Yoruba language (e bo) I.e rush him if you're attempting to escape his disciplined. Baba loves his family without discrimination good night baba I miss you. - Seyi Ojo
208. A father in Christ dt loved all,who in his life tym didn't discriminate other religions having being all in Christianity,a man of peace dt loved people around him& d community where he started Gospel - Akeem Alamu Ajao

211. Pa Idowu and his dear wife spread Divine Love beyond the church and as kids, we are beneficiaries of such gesture. That is why we are still sticking with the Idowu family after almost fifty years of association. He held the church firmly and controlled his family. It is not easy to score high on both fronts. Pa Idowu was a father indeed and I am happy I came across him in my lifetime. Adieu to a great servant of God and His image. - Oladipupo Ogunsola
212. I grew up to know Daddy Idowu as our first Pastor and Teacher through my dear mother. Daddy Idowu was so passionate of the gospel of Christ. He is a Man of God. Growing up in Divine Love Gospel Church was divine and listening to Baba on the pulpit was wholesome. May Baba's soul continue to rest in perfect peace. The seed down then has germinated into a fruitful tree and you will forever be remembered. I celebrate you Daddy. - Olukayode ADEBIMPE

The real you transcends what you have preached and taught. I am a product of your patience, long suffering and hope. You raised me to enter into priesthood. "PRAYER IS THE KEY" is your watchword. That was/is who you were/are. You preached righteousness, you lived wisdom. You were the arch- enemy of wickedness ,sin and the devil. It is an understatement to say....REST IN PEACE...... PEACE is the portion of those who diligently served God and carried their crosses to crown. Your last message/ sermon preached personally to me in your bed room 4 years ago was titled.. ." He is no longer here...he is risen " Mt 28:6. You are no longer here in this world of sin....YOU ARE ALIVE TO CHRIST CONGRATULATIONS REV DR. SAMUEL MODUPE IDOWU.....YOU HAVE MADE YOUR ETERNITY WITH THE TRINITY. I will forever miss you my dear Dad. - Moses

246. Tribute to one of God's Generals - Rev. Dr Samuel Modupe Idowu Rev. Dr Samuel Modupe Idowu who was the founder and first president of Divine Love Gospel Church International lived a life of service to God. His contribution and influence in Evangelism in Nigeria and worldwide cannot be under rated. It is so gladsome to note this God's general had many impressive attributes of Jesus Christ: - in humility - in love, kindness, above all Papa Idowu was emotional like Jesus who wept at the grave side of his friend, Lazarus. Papa Idowu will emotionally shed tears on any issue that touched his heart. - in prayers and supplication, Papa Idowu was a prayer warrior who believed in the efficacy of prayer and committed all challenges into God's hands. I would like to mention that Papa Idowu was a reputable dignified in-law of the Olaniyan family of Efon Alaye (his son Bayonle Idowu married our daughter Oyinlola Cynthia Idowu, nee Olaniyan. The memories of my last visit to him will continue to linger on in my heart. Papa Idowu came, did his best and sowed bountifully in God's vineyard and he is happily resting in His bosom. Rest on beloved Papa Idowu till we meet again on Resurrection day. - Chief Tunji Olaniyan M.O.N - Tunji Olaniyan
247. Papa Idowu accommodated us. The Idowu and Obisesan families were the nearest to our school, but the Idowu gracefully took us in. One of my friends would describe Pa Idowu as if it was yesterday, they last met. He had a lot to say when I told him that pa passed away. We both felt the difference between Obisesan and Idowu households. At the Idowu's there was a place we had to keep quiet and another where we had the latitude to laugh and shout. I am not blaming anybody. It was different ground rules and may God bless the soul of Pa Obisesan. The Idowu's house was a home to all of us. Oladipo Ogunsola - Oladipupo Ogunsola

251. Indeed, we have lost a hero, a giant, father, and everything. I have not seen anybody stronger than you. Stronger than your faith in God. Stronger than your willingness to love, to unite and to propagate the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Stronger than your humbleness. Stronger than your love for your family and the church. Nobody is stronger than you. I have never seen a man who's been through so much and be willing to go through even more. I bless you. God bless you. God will be with you for the benefit of us all. You will be dearly missed. - Gbeminiyi Oladimeji

163. "Daddy -n -mission" as we fondly called him was a centripetal force among we -the children. He (and mummy) took us ALL -blood and neighbour sons and daughters, as his. Luckily, we grew up, at that "age -grade, when there was no religious bigotry. All the children belonged to the community (and by extension, all the parents in the community) where they grew.It was "communal parenting ". As a Muslim, I would enter into the church (Divine Love Gospel church; which of course is not up to a stone's throw to my Dad 's house) and the mission house, freely, anytime after having prostrated before Daddy. "Pele o, Rasheed ", Daddy would respond, smiling, to my greetings. "Tunde /Remi wa nile ", he would direct me to their room. As I am friend to Tunde, Remi and Wole, I had /have Brothers Sunday and Bayo, as my dear "area " brothers. Each time Brother Bayo gathered us into his room, to teach us "Philosophy ", Daddy's nods spurred us on. Daddy's "mission house " was /is for us ALL. His memories shall be indelible in our minds, as youth. A Disciplinarian per excellence, Daddy was a teacher of virtues. Struggles to make ends meet made someone like me missed him, even before his call to glory. Adieu, Dad! Continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord! Rasheed Ajao (Ile Aperin, Ibadan) - Rasheed Ajao
