UK-based Nigerian pastor Matthew Ashimolowo has appointed his first son Tobi Ashimolowo as resident pastor two of Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC) in London, Igbere TV reports.

Tobi will be assisting his mother Yemisi Ashimolowo who has been the resident pastor at the church for a long time.

A video posted on Facebook by Church Gist on Sunday showed Ashimolowo making the announcement to the excitement of the congregation.

Ashimolowo, who went through weight loss procedure last year, joked that his family may be retiring him soon.

It was not immediately clear when the appointment was made. However we learnt it was recent.

Tobi is one of Ashimolowo’s two sons. He founded the Vault, a high-end store for men’s wear and accessories.

According to him, he got a pastoral call in 2016, two years after he got married to Toyin Omotayo, a lawyer.

“For years I ran away from ministry as I wanted to pursue other dreams I had, however I surrendered to God in 2016 when I heard the call.

“In that year I was ordained as a minister and I began full time ministry,” he said.

If he didn't, I would have been surprised.

In the Bible days, hardly would one see a religious/spiritual leader handing over leadership to a family member. It was only during the era of the kings, that leadership had to do with the king's bloodline, but see how disastrously it ended.

Even king Solomon who was the son of David, a man after God's heart, provoked God to anger at the end, that God divided the kingdom into two, and would have taken it completely from that lineage, but for remembrance of His servant David.

It hardly succeeds because they are not chosen by God, but often forced to become what they're not inclined to be or don't have the attributes required for that.

I have seen several instances where family members, especially the wives and children, of church leaders have been forced to take over their position, even though they didn't have what it requires to do so, but the result reflected that it was the choice of men, not that of God.

If Moses had handed over to his family member instead of God's chosen one, Joshua, Israel would have never reached the promised land.

If Elijah had handed over to his family member instead of God's chosen one, Elisha, the office of the prophet in Israel would have suffered a significant decline.

If Jesus had handed over to His own family members and not those God chose for Him, His disciples, the Gospel of the Kingdom wouldn't have reached us today.

I believe that this example was what worked for the Redeemed Christian Church of God. It was the choice of God appointed to take over from the founder rather than the choice of men and not just family member.

It's not impossible that the family member of a church leader could be chosen by God to take over from him, but that hardly happens.

This is one area the church must needs get it right if it really wants to reach its full potentials, as the church who leaders were chosen by God did, otherwise it would keep chasing shadows, and never be able to do so.

The position of Leadership is the most important in the church. It supersedes any family interest or reputation, hence it's paramount that it's those who are chosen by God that are appointed to lead.

God bless.

Na wa o, unless you are a member of the congregation or you have direct relationship with the attendees hence to warrant such time to write this lot...


If you are a Nigerian , spending more time and energy to get the country working would even make people not go be concerned about what's happening in that space .....


It may shock you to know how many persons are aware of this news in the UK ....
