May the soul of Bishop Idahosa continue to rest in peace!


The man that started prosperity preachings and self imposed bishop title.
you are right..but is not in our own power to judge the dead.

P.s. Be careful to praise the dead because you don't know where the man is

He is as well a business man, is he not the bishop that made a will that one's he dies, his wife will be made bishop. After his wife, his first son, second son?
This decision made so many of his church top pastors to form their own churches.
They are all criminals, only interested in ur tithe n offerings. Oledepo n Adeboye learnt scamming from him.
Stop spreading lies! He never had any will to that effect. I was a member of CGM (Church of God Mission) when Papa died and it was stipulated that the council of Bishops were to nominate a successor and we all knew that this position should go to Bishop OJO of Lagos Headquarters but some visiting ministers declared that God has Chosen Idahosas wife and that was how she was given the responsibility of moving the ministry and the work forward.

If a ministry is judged by expansion and growth then I would say that this was a wrong move and probably an error from those ministers since we immediately witnessed a decline in CGM but who am I to say it was an error when God may have had different plans indeed.

So stop spreading lies.

greatgod2012:
And who told you he wasn't a businessman toohuh

No be him started all these prosperity preachings thenhuh

No be him say his wife should succeed him if he dies, after his wife, his first son and bla bla bla....

If he wasn't a businessman, why didn't he allow the spirit of God to ordain the next GO.

Abegi!
He never said so! Where did these lies spring from? I am a living witness to what really transpired.

Plus he was never a businessman. He preached the Power of God and not Prosperity. Hr was all about demonstrating the power of God.

For all those who said he gave a will that his wife and children should succeed him and that he was a prosperity preacher (which by the way are all lies) pls read this. Note I already said that his successor was to be Bishop Ojo of Lagos headquarters as I was an insider back then..

So pls read this link to understand who he was better....

I do not have it anymore. I read it almost 10yrs ago but the impact of that book has never left me. You may be able to find it via a simple google search or you can visit any of the bigger church of God mission branches and ask for it from their book shop. I am sure they will have it

That is debate for another day and time. God is no respecter of persons and will use whoever, however! The question you should be asking is if she was in Gods will at that time and if she truly was chosen by God to lead CGM and not a gender based question.

if God could use raven to feed his own, if God could speak through donkey and if God could raise stones to praise him, why can't he use a woman in any capacity? "male and female created he them" before God, gender doesn't count.

God do not recognise a woman ministry. Read your bible very well. And if it does happen? I tell you, its gonna be temporal and not permanent (in some situations and not in a case like this)

God just can not use a woman to lead his flock. Impossible. Never. Such role is meant for man

The ministry belongs to God and not to the individual. God recognises whoever is in His will regardless of gender. The reason why we do not hear much about women is because they are still subject to the headship of a man but it is different when the woman decides to remain single and unmarried in order to propagate th gospel then her head is God alone.

Scripture is clear...God is no respecter of persons and will use whoever he pleases regardless of their gender.

God has handed ministries over to women in the past from start till they died...people like Kathryn Khulman or even Amy Mcpherson and we rank them among Gods Generals.

Let the spirit of God open your eyes and stop with all this gender bias when it comes to the things of God.

I'm an Atheist, but I grew up listening to this man's preaching. Brings back vivid memories from way back in Benin City, a very much respected preacher he was. However, he was the main instigator of the prosperity gospel, leeching from gullible folks by way of tithes and offering. Poor folk are living on a pittance whilst the so-called men of God buy private jets and big cars with their tithes and offerings.

R.I.P to him.

Those false prophets will be rotten away in eternal dunghill and dungeon now, but the most horrible thing is that so many are also following the path of everlasting destruction which they followed saying they are prosperity ministers. Many people will not learn by example, having eyes but do not see and mind but do not understand.
