Pastor Kumuyi has intentionally shed a lot of weight over the years. This has contributed immensely to his good health and energy in old age!

Moral of the story
- Take care of the body God has given you. As u are working on your spiritual life also take time to eat right, exercise and do medical check ups.

- Obesity is a medical ailment. Big tummy is NOT a sign of ‘big man’, it is not healthy. It predisposes to health conditions like stroke,heart attack and sudden death!

1 Timothy 4:8(NIV)
8 For PHYSICAL TRAINING is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.

Happy 71st birthday to Bishop David Oyedepo! God bless your new age! More of divine health and grace IJN!

Things I humbly suggest u reflect upon as u clock 71

- Pls increase the salaries of full time junior pastors. Heard some are paid btw 45-55k($30-40)/month. This is too small to survive!

- Kindly implement the apostolic method of wealth distribution in such a way that you would encourage the very rich to donate generously for the welfare of the struggling and needy! You can open free kitchens in church and free boutiques(fully funded by the many billionaires in ur church)to provide free food and clothes for members. This is routinely done in many ‘white’ churches abroad.

- Finally,pls consider opening a free School of Nursing for indigent members! You could give loans to the students which they will easily repay when they start working. In 3 yrs, they become registered nurses and can easily travel abroad and make $50k-$100k/yr. They would pay off their loans and continue to support the church. Seventh Day Adventist Church has many nursing schools all over the country and it has really helped the church.

Gaise baba meets Pastor Adeboye and wife. It was more like an appreciation greeting to thank baba for endorsing his song(I have decided to follow Jesus) after so many criticisms from younger ministers of God!

Pastor Adeboye’s endorsement of the song in the camp where he publicly allowed the performance of the controversial song by the central choir of RCCG was celebrated by Gaise who saw it as a confirmation from God that his music which many felt was worldly is actually legit.

This is another case of the Old Vs the young Prophet! Pastor Kesiena criticized the song and now Pastor Adeboye is endorsing it! Who is right and who is wrong?

CAC- Joseph Ayo Babalola University. Same for Benson Idahosa University and Oral Roberts University.

Why overlook Akindayomi since 2005 when the school was founded?

If I were Pst Adeboye, I would have named the University after Akindayomi from the word go. It’s a no brainer for me. This can’t happen in most other churches. I feel it’s not fair to the founder and his family.

Gift Orban was a thorn in the flesh of the world class Juventus defence. He scored a goal and had many close goal attempts. He deservedly won man of the match.

His ability to take on defenders and shoot accurately from distance are qualities Osimhen, Tobi and Dessers don’t have! He is also very rugged. I would play him ahead of Moses Simon! He must be in the team.

Dear Pastor Chris, it is wrong to say that Jesus didn’t commit His mother’s care to Peter because he was poor! You suggested Peter was poor because he said, ‘ Silver and Gold I don’t have…’ .

You can preach ur prosperity gospel without ridiculing an Apostle that took over from Christ! A man that was crucified upside down for the gospel! Haba! This is not right.

Matthew 16:18
18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Pastor Adeboye drops a bombshell - “God told me my first born child will d!e if I leave RCCG to join another church. Our church was small then and I was already a University lecturer under the authority of my father-in -the Lord(Rev Akindayomi )who didn’t attend primary school. God said clearly, this is where u will stay.”

Important Questions to Ask
- Would God have t@ken the life/allowed the d€ath of an innocent child if Pst Adeboye had left for another Bible believing church like Deeper Life, Foursquare or Assemblies of God? Would a child suffer for the disobedience/sin of a parent in the New Testament era? Would Jesus allow that after He said little children should come to him(Mark 10:13-16)

- Is it possible it was Pastor Adeboye’s imaginations that was speaking to him especially since he was a young pastor then and wasn’t GO yet? Are there times we misconstrue our thoughts and ideas as God’s voice as men of God?

- Are there denominations in heaven? Is Jesus really bothered about it as long as they preach and practise the undiluted word of God?

Luke 9
49 “Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us.”
50 “Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”

Acts 17:11
11 Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was TRUE .

Pastor Adeboye and wife funded the construction of a multi-billion naira Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences building complex at the Redeemer’s University, Ede which now bears their names: Enoch Adeboye and Folu Adeboye

Departments housed in the building include:
• Nursing,Biochemistry,Physiology,Physiotherapy and Anatomy

Pastor Adeboye emphasized that Redeemer’s University is not merely competing locally, but is poised to rival global institutions like Oxford and Harvard

Late Rev Akindayomi’s daughter(Pastor Titi) speaks out. In a youtube video she said; ‘Some Pastors dont know my dad is the founder of the church. My father never gave my mum any position in the church. He took care of outsiders even more than his children. He promised to bequeath(will) Bibles to his kids and that was what he did . How many pastors can do that? His legacy must not die and that is why I started a foundation in his name.’

Food for thought
- Would Pastor Kumuyi, Bishop Oyedepo or any founding pastor desire to be treated like Rev Akindayomi?
- Would you really blame any founder who handed over to family or his positioning family to take over when u are not sure of how things would turn out when u are gone?
- Can RCCG and Pastor Adeboye do more?

Dear Pastor Adeboye, I believe it is time to rename the Redeemer’s University in Ede in the name of the founder of RCCG, Rev Josiah Akindayomi! This I believe is the ideal thing to do to immortalise the name of this selfless patriarch of the church!

CAC named their University, Joseph Ayo Babalola University after their founder. Same for Benson Idahosa University and the popular Oral Roberts University!

I understand Redeemer’s university was founded in 2005 and I believe it’s not too late to give this deserved honour to a man whom God used to give you the platform that has made you who u are today!

As you celebrate 50yrs as an ordained pastor in RCCG,I personally believe this is the right time to make this honourable decision. God bless RCCG!

This is the way it should be. John Kumuyi’s presence and disposition is a pointer to the leadership and marriage committee that the youths of the church need a change. You can be righteous and cool!

Deeper Life weddings getting more modern and better! This is a good development. Things like this would make young people happier in the church. Kudos to the marriage committee and the church leadership!

Pastor Kumuyi’s son(Minister John Kumuyi) in attendance and all smiles at the trending gorgeous Deeper Life wedding.

John appears to be quite close to the groom and his disposition suggests he is very happy with the way the weddng was organised.

You can be righteous and cool!

RCCG needs to do more for Rev Akindayomi! A lot of people outside the church don’t know him. Many people think Pastor Adeboye is the founder of RCCG. He deserves his flowers because it isn’t naturally easy overlooking your family and handing over your ministry to someone else.

My humble suggestions:
- I would suggest that RCCG should copy what CCC do for their founder, Late Rev Oshoffa. They ensure in all their programs,books and posters, his name is number 1,visibly prominent with his picture and acknowledged as the founder of the church.

-Similarly, all donations and projects from the church like dialysis centres and hospitals should have his name included. For example the ‘ Pastor Adeboye Dialysis centre in Ilesha could be named Rev Akindayomi/Pst Adeboye Dialysis centre.

-The redeemers’ university and schools can be named after him to immortalise his name. Also, his surviving kids can be given full ownership of at least one secondary school each.

I believe if these suggestions are prayerfully considered and possibly implemented,it would make the Akindayomi family happier. It would also send a positive signal to other general overseers who are having doubts and fears about handing over their ministries to non-family members. God bless RCCG!

Pastor Adeboye’s successor is not in the beer parlour or still unsaved! He must be a mature Christian leader who is proven and close to the leadership.

When Rev Akindayomi handed over to Pastor Adeboye, he was already his interpreter,an ordained pastor who showed uncommon dedication and commitment to the ministry. There was a time Pst Adeboye emptied his account and brought everything to church despite being a Maths lecturer.

Even though he was younger than many of the other potential successors, he showed more passion, desire and enthusiasm for the things of God. He was also selfless, completely sold out to God and also well educated. All these endeared him to Rev Akindayomi’s heart.

When the Apostles chose a replacement for Judas. They selected two devoted men who were with Christ and witnessed his resurrection. They then prayed to God and cast lots which eventually fell on Mathias( Acts 1:12-26)

I expect Pastor Adeboye to hand over to Pst Kalejaiye or one of his close generals. All the story of an unbeliever in the beer parlour was just a smart way to prevent infighting among senior pastors who were desirous of the throne! God bless RCCG!

‘Miracle money is false gospel. The prosperity gospel is not healthy for the country’ - Pastor(Prof)Yemi Osinbajo

Food for thought
- Since the prosperity gospel came into Nigeria since the early 80s, the economy of the country has not improved. The lives of the congregation hasnt also gotten better.

- The prosperity gospel has made the preachers richer and the people’s lives largely unchanged. The preachers have jets and mansions and allude it to God’s blessing when it’s actually the people making them rich.

- Prosperity gospel ministers NEVER hand over to people outside their family because they understand it’s big business. Fact check all of them in America and Africa and u would understand it’s not really about God!

- Prosperity gospel has made people more corrupt and less righteous because it’s all about making the money and testifying in church to oppress people irrespective of how the money is made.

- Bro Gbile Akanni, one of my spiritual mentors, alluded in one of his messages of how American prosperity preachers corrupted the Nigerian church in the early 80’s with their unchristian prosperity messages.

‘No argument with my wife in 17 yrs of marriage’- Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr.

Having arguments in marriage can actually be healthy!

Why Arguments Matter in Marriage
1. They Build Trust
-When couples argue respectfully, they show that it’s safe to express disagreement.Over time, this builds emotional security and openness

2. They show Hidden Issues
• Arguments often reveal concerns that have been hiding beneath the surface.Addressing these early prevents issues from growing• It is better to release tension than let it explode later.

3. They Promote Honesty
• In conflict, people often speak their raw truth. This can lead to better understanding and connection.

4. They Improve Communication Skills
• Learning to argue well—without yelling or shutting down—teaches conflict resolution.

5. They Strengthen the Bond
• Working through disagreements shows commitment• Couples who resolve conflict together often feel more united afterward.

6. They Establish Boundaries
• Arguments clarify what’s okay and what’s not.
• They help couples define personal limits and mutual expectations

“A little conflict can build trust, so approach disagreements with respect to grow closer”

• Proverbs 15:1 — “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.”
• Ephesians 4:26 — “Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry.”
• James 1:19 — “Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.”

Ademola Lookman is average with set pieces and corner kicks. Moses is terrible and these are sadly the best we have in the team! This is why we hardly score from corner kicks despite having a lot of big boys in the team who are very good with their heads! Kelechi Nwakali is a dead ball genius. It doesn’t matter if he is playing in a 3rd division league or the NPFL, he would help the team especially the strikers. He would place the ball on the heads and feet of the strikers. He would be our Pirlo. I would protect him with Onyeka and Onyedika! This man would make our strikers happy and help the team score more goals. He can also help us win games from long range shots like he did against Atletico Madrid years back!

Nigeria laboured to a 1-nil victory over Rwanda on Saturday thanks to Tolu’s second half strike.

Key takeaways:
1- Ademola Lookman is match rusty and was a shadow of himself. He should not have started. Uche or Fisayo Bashiru should have started ahead of him.
2- Nwabali needs psychological assessment and would have cost us a penalty and had himself sent off with his schoolboy misdemeanours.
3- Moses Simon is terrible at crosses. He couldn’t even take a corner kick. He deprived Osimhen/Tolu/Dessers of good crosses.
4- Onyeka must start against South Africa. He is the best destroyer in the midfield. He allows Ndidi to have the freedom to do his thing. He isn’t the greatest going forward but his break up play is impressive. He should sit in front of the back four like he did at the AFCON.
5- Bruno is decent as a defender but his crosses are abysmal. I would start Aina at left back because he is adept with his left foot. Osayi should start on the right. We need his ruggedness against the sleek South Africans. 6-Benjamin and Calvin Bassey were great. Benjamin should be more confident in sending long balls to the strikers. He is very good.
7- I wrote earlier that Ekong has lost pace and has become a target for opposing teams. I am happy Chelle had the balls to bench him.
8- Dessers just recovered from injury and is not up to scratch yet. He is however hungry and I would like to see him play like 20mims against SA.
9. Tolu Arokodare is the new Osimhen. At 6’6, he can bully any defender in the world. He might be the difference against the South Africans.

Rev Akindayomi and a very young Pastor Adeboye! It is difficult to see selfless men of God like this now! He handed over to Pastor Adeboye despite the fact he could have transferred power to his wife,children or in-laws! He also didn’t put his family in top positions in the church.

He allowed God to choose and not his emotions and human tendencies! His selfless decision birthed a global church which is one of the biggest in the world. God bless him.

Bishop Oyedepo’s Daughter’s Husband Celebrates 40th Birthday In Style!


Pastor Steve Ogah (Bishop Oyedepo’s daughter’s husband) celebrates 40th birthday. He is the Global National Youth Pastor of Living Faith Church(Winners Chapel)!

Food for thought
- Would Steve have been made Global National Youth Pastor if he wasn’t married to the Bishop’s daughter?
- Was he really the most qualified for the position?
- Why do many American and African Pastors like to place their kids/inlaws/families in top positions in their churches ?
- Jesus handed over to Peter and not His siblings! He said people who do the will of His father are His family.

Matthew 12:46-50
46 While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him.
49 Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers.
50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”

Archbishop Margaret Idahosa looking so beautiful and fresh at 82! She is looking so happy in the company of her grandsons, son and daughter-in-law .
Her late husband, Archbishop Benson Idahosa is sadly no where to be found. He passed on 27yrs ago at a relatively young age of 59!

Moral of the Story:
- Men of God and Christian husbands, pls take care of yourselves. Take care of your health and do regular medical check ups. Don’t over stress yourself in taking care of the family. Find time to rest, relax and rejuvenate your body!
- Archbishop Idahosa was a workaholic. He died prematurely likely from a cardiac arrest/stress. Something similar happened to late Apostle Ayo Babalola who died at 55yrs allegedly from exhaustion and stress after working non stop for 4 days and 4 nights.
- ‘Women go to hospitals while men are dragged there’ is a common saying which shows the poor health seeking behaviour of men compared to women. This is one of the reasons why there are more widows than widowers!

Elijah ran away from Jezebel despite all his anointing! Why was he so scared that he prayed God to take his life? What lessons can we learn as ministers and children of God?

Looking at 1 Kings 18–19
Elijah had just called down fire from heaven on Mount Carmel, proving God’s power over Baal and leading to the execution of 450 prophets of Baal. But instead of national repentance, Jezebel—furious over the loss of her prophets—sent a death threat to Elijah, vowing to kill him within 24 hours (1 Kings 19:2).

Why did Elijah run for his life?

• Fear of Jezebel’s vengeance: Despite his boldness, Elijah knew Jezebel had the power and ruthlessness to carry out her threat.
• Emotional burnout: After intense spiritual warfare and public confrontation, Elijah was physically and emotionally drained.
• Disillusionment: He expected revival in Israel after the miracle, but saw no change. This crushed his hope.
• Isolation: Elijah felt utterly alone in his mission, saying, “I alone am left, and they seek to take my life” (1 Kings 19:10).

He fled to the wilderness, sat under a broom tree, and asked God to take his life—an expression of deep despair. But God met him there with food, rest, and a gentle whisper, not rebuke.

Food for thought
- Men of God no matter how powerful go through periods of self doubt, fear,isolation and burn out. They need our prayers.
- Men of God often keep their challenges to themselves and this can lead to emotional and psychological distress.
- Men of God are humans and make mistakes. Constructive criticisms can help guide them in the right part! Elijah thought he was the only righteous prophet left until God corrected him there were 7000 others! Gentle criticisms are very valuable to a man of God.
