GOD TOLD ME I WAS BORN FOR THIS
-Pastor Ghandi Olaoye

The new Soun of Ogbomoso, Oba Afolabi Ghandi Olaoye, has cleared the air concerning his ascension to the stool of his forefathers, claiming that he accepted the role because God told him to do so.

Speaking to members of his Church in a video posted on Facebook, the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Jesus House, Washington DC pastor said he did not accept his new role because he had nothing else to do.

Hinting that he had planned to retire from the pastoral ministry after 30 years of service, Olaoye said his plan was to travel the world after his retirement.

He, however, said he was born into a royal family and entitled to the throne of Ogbomoso.

Olaoye, who apologised to his members for “any embarrassment” they might have “felt by what has been happening on social media,” saying he was “genuinely sorry,” explained that he had served at Jesus House for 26 years and the Church had become his family.

Olaoye said, “While I was in Nigeria in December, the king of our town died. I’m really close to the family because, like I said, I’m from a royal family.

“After the Oyewumis, the Ajagungbades…my family is next. Everybody from Ogbomoso who is familiar with the tradition knows that. And I, of course, knew about that.

“But I was not interested in it at all, because I believed that I had gone on a completely different part.”

Olaoye said his father also never told him that he could become the Soun of Ogbomoso if he wanted to be, so he never had any intention of becoming the king of the ancient town.

He said people close to him and knew his family was the next to ascend the throne began to call him and to ask him to consider taking up the throne.

Olaoye said he called his spiritual father, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor E.A. Adeboye, to intimate him of the situation. He said when he told Adeboye that he was not interested, the G.O. asked him not to say that but to fast and pray about it.

He said he did not take the advice seriously as he did not pray about it.

He, however, said that he heard God tell him on January 2, 2022, that becoming the Soun of Ogbomoso was his destiny.

“The next thing I heard, clearly, ‘You were born for this; this is the reason for your birth.’

“That’s what I heard. Of course, that’s not what I was expecting. But, let me tell you this, when I hear, I am 10/10” he said.

liar

God told me to ask you to shut up!

Na followers I blame for church that somebody will use one hand to carry juju the other for Bible

Is a free world my man, do what soothe s you.
Retiring from church is a normal stuff or do you sign any agreement with anybody..
People codemning the man what is his crime, he said it is god that direct him to be soun of ogbomosa, yes according to the bible god work in misterious ways and we can't question him..
The bible god kill and sacrifice his own son to pay for our sins instead of killing devil the one causing the menace. So don't be quick to condemn Ghandi olaoye why? Because god work in mysterious ways and we can't question him.. Ghandi olaoye may be right if you read your bible from the old testament to the new testament...

Nonsense....
