ARCHBISHOP DR. ONYEKACHUKWU JOSEPH NZEKWESI, THE GENERAL OVERSEER OF JESUS IS ALIVE CHURCH EZIOWELLE AND CEO OF PINELEAF ESTATE AND PROPERTIES ELEVATED TO THE OFFICE OF AN INTERNATIONAL ARCHBISHOP


By Apostle Ebube Kabiri OFC

It was a glorious and historic moment on Saturday, 31st January 2026, as Archbishop Dr. Onyeka­chukwu Joseph Nzekwesi was officially elevated to the esteemed Office of an International Archbishop by the Soteria Network of Bishops and Ministers Conclave (SINOB), Canada, in association with Jesus Is Alive Church, Eziowelle, Anambra State.

The solemn yet jubilant ceremony commenced promptly at 9:00 a.m. at Jesus Is Alive Church, Eziowelle, and witnessed an overwhelming turnout of worshippers and faithfuls from far and near. The church auditorium and its environs were filled with religious leaders, government officials, business leaders, ministers of the gospel, bishops, archbishops, friends, well-wishers, and sons and daughters of the land, all gathered to witness the elevation of a man divinely called and set apart for greater responsibility in the vineyard of God.

Indeed, the occasion was not merely the elevation of a man, but the affirmation of a divine calling, a calling long evident in his life, ministry, and unwavering commitment to God and humanity.

The consecration was officiated by Archbishop Dr. Brinsley Dickson, who flew all the way from Canada to serve as the Chief Consecrator, a gesture that underscored the international recognition and significance of the event. He was ably assisted by Archbishop Dr. Kene Don Ifepe and a distinguished host of Archbishops and Bishops, whose presence further added dignity and spiritual depth to the sacred ceremony.

As prayers were offered and hands laid upon the Archbishop, the atmosphere was filled with deep reverence, worship, and joy. The moment echoed the timeless words of Scripture:
“Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee…”
Jeremiah 1:5

Many attendees testified that their presence was not only in honor of the ceremony, but also in recognition of the character of the man being celebrated. Archbishop Dr. Nzekwesi is widely known as a man of humility, generosity, spiritual depth, and sincere devotion to God and humanity. As a popular saying goes, “When a man’s life preaches louder than his words, people will always gather to listen.”

The elevation also resonates deeply with the biblical call of Samuel, reminding believers that God often calls His servants quietly, persistently, and purposefully:
“And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me… Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.”
1 Samuel 3:8–10

Like Samuel, Archbishop Dr. Onyeka­chukwu Joseph Nzekwesi has consistently responded in obedience, answering God’s call through years of faithful service, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication to the work of the Kingdom.

During the ceremony, he was also formally presented with the following certificates:

1. Certificate of an International Archbishop
2. Certificate of License
3. Certification of the Charter of the Church

Following the consecration service, guests proceeded to Udoka Primary School, Okpalico Village, Eziowelle, Anambra State, where a grand reception was held in honor of the newly elevated International Archbishop. The reception was marked by warmth, excellent organization, and generous hospitality. Guests were well attended to, ate to their satisfaction, and returned joyfully to their respective destinations in peace and good health.

One of the most remarkable highlights of the celebration was the extraordinary generosity displayed by the Archbishop, even on his day of celebration. True to his nature, he extended kindness to the less privileged. A particularly touching moment occurred when a man on a wheelchair received a significant financial gift from the Archbishop. Deeply moved by the act, many others also contributed, and the man responded with heartfelt prayers and blessings for the Archbishop.

This noble act once again affirmed the truth of Scripture:
“He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will He pay him again.”
Proverbs 19:17

Archbishop Dr. Onyeka­chukwu Joseph Nzekwesi continues to exemplify the spirit of Christ, who declared:
“It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
Acts 20:35

As philosophers have observed, “The true measure of leadership is not how much power one gains, but how much good one gives.” The life and ministry of Archbishop Dr. Nzekwesi stand as a living testimony to this truth.

Without doubt, this elevation is not accidental, but the fulfillment of divine preparation. As Scripture declares:
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delighteth in his way.”
Psalm 37:23

Archbishop Dr. Onyeka­chukwu Joseph Nzekwesi is truly a man after God’s own heart, prepared by God long before his birth for such a time as this. His elevation to the office of an International Archbishop marks not an end, but the beginning of a new chapter of greater impact, wider influence, and deeper service to God and humanity.

May his light continue to shine across nations, and may his ministry bear fruit that will endure for generations.

Respectfully, that assertion is both inaccurate and unfair. It is important to know a person and encounter their work firsthand before making sweeping judgments. Scripture cautions us clearly: “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment” (John 7:24).

Archbishop Dr. Onyeka­chukwu Joseph Nzekwesi is not defined by the caricature you describe. His ministry is widely known for generosity, empowerment, and consistent giving to church members and the less privileged, often without publicity. This reflects the example of Christ, who said, “By their fruits ye shall know them” (Matthew 7:16). The fruits of his ministry are visible in lives transformed, people empowered, and the needy uplifted.

The Bible also teaches that true shepherds care for the flock, not exploit it: “Feed the flock of God which is among you… not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind” (1 Peter 5:2). Those who know his ministry can attest that he gives far more than he takes, embodying the scriptural truth that “it is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35).

Furthermore, Scripture warns against careless speech and maligning God’s servants without knowledge: “Speak not evil one of another, brethren” (James 4:11), and again, “Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm” (Psalm 105:15). These warnings are not threats, but calls to wisdom and restraint.

If God has truly called a man, no human ridicule can invalidate that calling. As the Scripture affirms, “For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance” (Romans 11:29). History has shown repeatedly that those whom God raises are often misunderstood by those who observe from a distance.

Constructive criticism is healthy, but blanket condemnation without understanding neither honors truth nor reflects the spirit of Christ. It is always wiser to seek knowledge, encounter, and discernment before drawing conclusions.

It was indeed a celebration of grace.
