BISHOP MARGARET BOLANLE ODELEKE is one Woman of God that has seen it all in life; from her humble background when she got consecrated as an Evangelist in Year 1974 down to this present day in Year 2024, this beautifully designed Woman of God is nothing but a bundle of experience.
BISHOP BOLA ODELEKE is 1st African Female Bishop and she was married to late GENERAL LASUN ODELEKE of blessed memory. Their Union produced 7 Wonderful and gifted children namely Abiye Olubunmi, Segun, Kayode, Funlola, Joshua, Eniola and Damilola.
The founder of Power Pentecostal Church (PPC) Okota, Lagos (South West Nigeria) hails from Ibadan, Oyo State (South Western Nigeria). She had her primary and secondary education at Ilesa, her mother’s hometown. She became a full Christian in Year 1970 and began her Evangelism in November 1974. This coming Monday, June 17, BISHOP BOLA ODELEKE will be 74 as her ministry will be celebrating her altar life @ 50.
Life on the altar @ 50 came with many whirlwind experiences, from shocking discovery of her calling in the 70s to the ferocious resistance by some elders to her gender manifesting on the altar of a conservative Christ Apostolic Church; down to her consecration as a mobile Evangelist to the sudden death of a child and later in life, of a darling husband who was not only a top brass of the Nigerian Military Government under the rule of General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB).
Her late husband Gen. Lasun Odeleke was a member of the elitist Provisional Ruling Council (PRC) before he died in a car accident during her visit to London for a crusade in 1990.
This Beautifully Charming Woman of God also witnessed several media scandals as a result of two attempts on marriage after her husband’s demise which left her with a sour reality but she was never defeated in morale as she hung on to JESUS her master and never left the pulpit.
She hung unto the altar and preached the gospel of Jesus Christ as if that was her last super. Despite the low moments of life, Bishop Bola Odeleke didn’t deny CHRIST!
Even a mild stroke that hit her when she clocked 70 didn’t deter her call to serve as she shrugged it off and continued to do the bidding of her Father in heaven as the stroke disappeared.
Penultimate Wednesday 5th of June (11 Days to her 50th Anniversary on the altar) the Bishop opened the door of her Okota Lagos office to the team of Asabe Afrika TV as she narrate the story of her experience in the vineyard at 74 and life on the altar in 50 years (1974 to 2024).
You will find her story very interesting.
