The remains of Prophet Ajanaku the
former pastor of popular Nigeria gospel
singer (Tope Alabi) and founder of
Christ Revival Victory
Chapel International Lagos who on
August 22nd 2013, will be finally buried
on July 17th 2014.
Before now, her wife Joy Ajanaku and
some elders of the church had refused
to bury him because they were
convinced he will rise again. However,
after eleven solid months, they have
accepted that once a man is really dead,
he's really dead. And just as it is
destined that men die only once, and
after that comes Judgement.
Joy Ajanaku explained why she chose to
bury her husband on the said date.
Read below what she told City People;
How do you intend to move this
ministry forward?
It won’t be by my power or might but
by the grace of God of Elijah Ajanaku, I
will surely move forward. My husband
is in me and both of us are in God. He
made me to be close to God. Though I
was a Christian by birth but I was not
born-again, I didn’t know whom Jesus
Christ is until I came across him. He
showed and took me to God. He made
me love serving God and do the Will of
God. I believe he is not dead like I said.
I will continue to say that. Continue

No matter who you are if you call him a
late Prophet, I will correct you
immediately. No matter your position
on earth, I will correct you
immediately. What you call man of God
is not the body but spirit. God said
those that will worship me must do that
in the spirit. God has nothing to do with
the body. If spirit can walk without the
body and the body can not do anything,
my husband is alive.
Don’t you think his shoes are too big for
you?
I believe that since I am in my husband
and he is in me and both of us are in
God, everything is possible. Even after
his body slept, lots of miracles have
taken place. I used to say he is not
around bodily. If he is dead, no
miracles would have been taking place
and many calamities would have befell
us. The legacy that he left behind, God
in his mercy will let me sustain it. If he
is dead, his ministry would have been
shut down.
What will you miss about him?
A lot. In terms of spiritual aspect, I
believe I still enjoy his grace. I will miss
him a lot. Is it the way he calls me…
Nobody can use his tone, I find solace
in the fact that he is a man of God. I am
not mourning. There is no mourning in
the Kingdom of God. That is why we are
not crying.
How supportive are your husband’s
family?
I don’t have any grudges against them.
It took you 11 months to bury him, why
is it so?
Well, Ajanaku himself picked this day
July 17. It is part of what I discovered
in me. Its is part of his misery that
made me say that he has what other
men of God don’t have. 7 is a perfect
number. Everything about his life had
something in common with 7. I know it
is not a coincidence. It is divine
ordination from God Almighty. Like his
date of birth, his house address where
we were was number 17. All the tenants
in the house were 17. The land where
we have the house was given to him.
That was the only land that we have on
the street and why is it 17. The church
address is 17 too. That is how God has
been handling his life.
