Pastor Ghandi Olaoye, the Lead Pastor at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Jesus House DC, Washington, USA has relinquished his position in view of his imminent emergence as the next Soun of Ogbomosho, a first-class traditional ruler in Oyo State.
“He confirmed it yesterday, and he has relinquished his position as the lead pastor”, a reliable source close to Pastor Olaoye, told The Podium Media on Friday afternoon, referring to Pastor Olaoye’s nomination and selection as the Soun-elect.
The former Soun of Ogbomosho, Oba Jimoh Oladunni Oyewunmi Ajagungbade III, joined his ancestors in 2021.
Fondly called “Pastor G”, Pastor Ghandi Olaoye is reputed for his leadership and relationship management skills. He was born and raised in Nigeria. He has a degree in English Language and a Master’s in Industrial and Labor Relations.
He was a successful entrepreneur before the call of God came upon his life to become a Pastor. He has been Pastoring since 1992.
He pastored three RCCG Churches in Nigeria and one in Bonn, Germany before moving to the United States.
Pastor Ghandi is passionate about helping others develop to their fullest potential. His experience traveling and speaking internationally has shaped his commitment to showcasing a ministry where people of all racial and ethnic groups worship God in a loving and caring atmosphere.
He is currently the coordinator in charge of the Convention and Special Projects for RCCG, North America.
He is happily married to Pastor Omo who also played a key role in running the affairs of the church. She is the founder and Pastor in charge of the Jesus Women Ministries, a ministry that addresses pertinent issues.
With additional reports by national insight
Yoruba tradition is completely lost with these new generation Obas.
How so, sir? And what do you mean by “new generation” obas?
Please, give an example of any lost Yoruba tradition, sir. E kaa le o.
You need not look too far. Not With the likes of Oluwo of iwo, and those other rascal obas in Lagos and in other areas of Oodualand, what other examples do you need
Why do you not look at the likes of successful younger Obas like the Orangun of Oke Ila , Oba Dokun Abolarin, before jumping to such conclusion?
You’re right. The implications of all these is that our culture and tradition is gradually being eroded, yet the west that brought bible to us preserve theirs, claiming ours is idol worship.
The Kingdoms of this world have become the kingdom of our God and His Christ.
Praytell how will this happen? Will it be before or after he has participated in traditional rites, bowed before and sworn allegiance to local gods, etc.? How do you mix light with darkness? Do you not know what holiness means. I fear for “Christians” these days who know nothing of holiness and consecration and think you can join Christ with belial “for the glory of God”. If you read this article and can’t see what’s wrong with this story, then what you have is not Christ/Christianity but a false religion with a form of godliness but totally powerless to save and transform. This is why Nigeria with all its churches and “christians” is in this ever-growing rot and cesspool of wickedness.
I’m still praying this is fake news…
PS you have taken Rev 11:15out of context. First this isn’t referring to this age but the new heavens and earth and (second) definitely not by such unholy means.
So no tradition during David time. Witch of Endor , Baal and Asaroth worshippers filled the land .yet succeeded. Pray for thems
OJ, I like your stand. For a man who is alleged to have had the call of God come upon his life to become a Pastor and has been pastoring since 1992, to reject the call when faced with the choice of shepherding God’s flock and becoming a traditional king, raises questions.
Many who profess to be Christians are just religionists. The choices we make shows on whose side we are. The quotation below might sound harsh and judgmental but it’s from the Lord.
Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.” (Luke 9:63)
Then you have not heard of Oba Isaac Akinyele, the former president of Christ Apostolic Church and at the same time the Olubadan of Ibadan. Go and read how he ruled both beliefs. When your ways are acceptable to God, he makes even your enemies your friends.
Praytell how will this happen? Will it be before or after he has participated in traditional rites, bowed before and sworn allegiance to local gods, etc.? How do you mix light with darkness? Do you not know what holiness means. I fear for “Christians” these days who know nothing of holiness and consecration and think you can join Christ with belial “for the glory of God”. If you read this article and can’t see what’s wrong with this story, then what you have is not Christ/Christianity but a false religion with a form of godliness but totally powerless to save and transform. This is why Nigeria with all its churches and “christians” is in this ever-growing rot and cesspool of wickedness.
I’m still praying this is fake news…
PS Pls don’t take Rev 11:15 of context. First this isn’t referring to this age but the new heavens and earth and (second) definitely not by such unholy means.
@Seyi Adesanya. I am a respecter of tradition but the kind of problems that Nigeria is facing presently,do you think that mere tradition can change it or we need to begin to put square pegs in leadership roles to fit into square holes caused by the misguided and misfit that are in leadership parading our society from village to local to State and Federal level. I’m afraid that the America and Western Countries that we all want to Jaapaa to are more enlightened than what you are saying right now. Thank you.
The Bible is not against a man of GOD becoming an Oba, after all David was a king and at the same time a Prophet of GOD.
Nothing is wrong, it depends on the individuals, what he intends to accomplish as an Oba, a Pastor or a Prophet, rulling his people with the fear of GOD and righteousness and Godly mindedness.
Forget about those Obas who misbehave and doing what they are not supposed to do.
We have some of them like that in those historical days too.
What do you mean by New generation Obas? Pastor Ghandi was my Pastor in Jesus Embassy, If you know him, uou will know that this is the kind of Person we need at every Leadership Position in this country…. I congratulate you, Our New Coming Soun “KABIYESI O”.
What a thought! What is Yoruba tradition? Something precious, valuable, of culture, of identity, of historical experience and significance PASSED DOWN…Culture and the experience of traditions change over time. The key question is what happens to the values that they preserve? Certain age long values and approved virtues of life that constitute the identity of a people and represent their shared ideology and philosophy of the world and its continuing dynamics of living phenomena are preserved as long as they bear relevance, and then as such transmitted. Everything is prone to change. Even identities change.
Traditional stools and monarchies in our African setting have evolved to become the repository of these cultural values, virtues and belief systems of a people by which they identify. These identities without doubt are prone to change. They may become more robust and entrenched and wherever they are found fickle and facetious, they are changed or jettisoned. As long as we have the repositories intact, the new occupiers of this custodial stools bear the moral responsibility to preserve and secure their generations and their legacy.
The story under reference, speaks of a clergyman preferring the conferment of royalty upon himself and above the call as a servant of God. Without respecting much his personality and right to privacy, we here are being judgmental and quick to conclude on him without having give him the benefit of the doubt and necessarily considering that thought that we might not have a full picture of this purported event, to which clarity can only come when the Soun himself is given a chance to respond to all the insinuations and suggestions made when that news broke.
Pastor Ghandi is entitled to an interview where his intentions are clearly and fully disclosed. He needs to.make it to a point of duty to stand up to this story to confirm it or otherwise and equally announce whether or not he is following Jehovah’s leading in this.matter at all.
Luke 9:62 Then Jesus declared, “No one who puts his hand to the plow …
But Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back [to the things left behind] is fit for the kingdom of God.
That is speaking about the FAITH in the saving grace…. He is becoming a king 👑, not renouncing his faith. Like King David, Pastor G will be a man after God’s heart.
I agree with you. I met Pastor Ghandi some years ago in the USA. He was and still he is a man of God. He is going to serve God by serving humanity. I am also a Pastor, I was called to serve my town as a Chief recently. I am playing both roles effectively.
Please explain how becoming a king relates to looking back from ploughing as Jesus Christ indicated? Have you discussed with him and he has told you that he is no longer in Christ?
He will even serve God better and to a larger gathering of people when he becomes the Soun of Ogbomosho. He and his wife will always be Christian’s and believers in the Palace at Ogbomosho. The RCCG Parish in the town are getting a Senior Clergy in their midst.
He would not be the first Christian Oba in Yoruba history. There were many before him, (Oba Olaaresa of Masifa ruled Masifa, Ejigbo LGA peacefully, though the Community is full of Traditionalists. He never compromised Faith)
There are Good Christian Obas now, and many will still come up.
Because you cannot serve 2 masters; you cannot mix light with darkness nor can you join Christ with belial “for the glory of God”. If you knew anything of the holiness of God, then you would have understood what the original commenter meant by quoting Luke 9:62. We’re a generation that likes to eat out cake and have it, yet from the OT to the NT, God always asks the same of us: choose you this day… That people think that God would achieve His purposes for His Kingdom through such unholy means says how little they know of Him and His ways.
Believe it or not, there are kings and traditional rulers who are still in faith and also standing firm for Jesus. If we (Christians) continue to run away from these responsiblities evil will continue in the land. I want to submit that we need people like Joseph, Daniel, Esther, Deborah, David etc in positions of leadership in time like this. There is nothing bad or evil in a man of God becoming a king.
Who says our tradition is evil????? The white people that brought us pagan Christianity and not even the real Christianity? Go to Victoria Gardens in London and you will find the temple they built for Aje, the spirit of wealth. The same way there are fake pastors and imams there may be fake and wicked Ifa priests. There are fakes everywhere. How is our tradition evil and why can’t we do both our tradition and serve God. Before David ran after the soldiers that took his family in the Battle st Ziglag, he enquirer of the Lord thru the Ephod. Do you know what the ephod is? Ifa oracle! Which Yorubas believe to be the voice of Olodumare (God). When the deciles wanted to know who they should add after losing a disciple to death, the Bible says they casted lot. What is lots? Opele. I think we all should really study and under our traditional beliefs. We can serve God via both. Before Christianity, trad beliefs was all out forefathers had and it worked for them. We claim to be Christians but attend church on Sunday “Sun day” to worship the Roman Gods when God clearly instructed us to worship him on the Sabbath, the 7th day of the week not Sunday, the first day of the week. Please let only God be the only judge of who is really worshiping Him.
Please don’t confuse tradition and culture with idol worship and traditional religion. Christianity is compatible with tradition and culture but not with idol worship and traditional religion or any other religion for that matter.
As a Pastor/Oba, will he say “no” to when the Ifa priests come to him to pay for/approve sacrifices to idols in the town? He doesn’t have to take part in those rituals to be complicite when he’ll be the CEO approving them.
This is the kind of people we are praying for to be in leadership position. I pray that God grant you Divine wisdom to pilot the affairs of Ogbomoso. God satisfying you with long live in Jesus Christ name.
David became king in Israel. The first president of cac‐ Christ Apostolic Church,Oba Akinyele became d first Olubadan in his time with d leading of God. What else do u want. D man can become king if God permit him.
Great is the Lord’s faithfulness , He alone is the king of Kings, King that appoint and anoint Kings for His majesty glory. I will him all the best and pray for GOD wisdom to rule over Ogbomosho to the glory of GOD. May his call lead him to everlasting life with Christ Jesus. Amen. Congratulations to the King elect, his wife and children and the entire Ogbomoso indigenes. 👏🏻
So Glad another God fearing man is ascending the throne. Surely his time and season will be refreshing to the homeland
Congratulations to Oba Pastor Ghandi Olaoye.
May he reign long on the throne.
May his reign bring peace and development to his domain in particular, and Nigeria, in general.
Eku a ke bi Eku, Eja a ke bi Eja, Omo eniyan a fohun bi Omo eniyan.
May Almighty God take control
Ghandi didn’t start now, he has been eating from both quarters. It’s not surprising then that it’s in the open. Remember, every secret work shall be made open
Didn’t start what? You’ve said nothing but only cast aspersions on the man. Be a man & speak up!
My brother, i tìrẹ o. Even uf you know him…..why are you interested in his downfall… May God uphold him!
“Touch not my anointing and do my prophet no harm”. Did you lead him to the 2 quarters you referred to???
Do not say what you never witnessed especially to a Man of God. You all just love to cast down MOG without a 2nd thought.
I don’t know Pastor Olaoye but he doesn’t have to be dragged in the mud because he accepted the kingship. Put your head in your cage & watch your mouth!!!
Haaaaaa, eating from both quarters you say? Can you swear with your life and everything you own on earth that you have ever seen him eating from both sides.
Eating from both quarters you say, can you swear with your life and everything you own on earth that you have ever seen him eating from both quarters.
I only smell jealousy here
Well, ko le ye yin. Ohun ti ko ye Omo eniyan po lo jantirere. God will give you more wisdom to rule your people successfully.
I wonder what exactly you are saying…..are there no kings in your Bible? or do you have a good reason why you think he should not become the king?
I don’t know about eating from both quarters – all I know is that you cannot eat your cake and have it; you cannot mix light with darkness. And truly surprised at the congratulatory comments here. Do we not know what holiness means. I fear for “Christians” these days who know nothing of holiness and consecration and think you can join Christ with belial “for the glory of God”. If you read this article and can’t see what’s wrong with this story, then what you have is not Christ/Christianity but a false religion with a form of godliness but totally powerless to save and transform. This is why Nigeria with all its churches and “christians” is in this ever-growing rot and cesspool of wickedness.
I’m hoping this is fake news and waiting for this pastor to dispel these rumours…
PS Pls let’s not take Rev 11:15 of context. First this isn’t referring to this age but the new heavens and earth and (second) even at that, God will never achieve his purposes by such unholy means.
Please keep quiet. It’s because of all this over righteousness that we gradually left the governance and the leadership of this country to people of other religions. Now that we are been marginalize, terrorized and killed we are shouting to God to deliver us when we did not even do what we needed to do in the first place. If fellow christians that had had the vision of politics were encouraged probably the country may not be this bad. It’s in the same church they keep preaching that it is not good to enter into politics or be a traditional ruler and it became a no go area. Every key position in this country are occupied by people of other religions. Few that venture to be different are always castigated. Please stop all these pessimism. We will live in this world before the next. Holding a traditional title does not amount to renouncing one’s faith. I wish the man divine grace from God to rule and win more souls for Christ.
Nigeria’s problem is not because there are no Christians in positions of authority – the real problem is they compromise their faith and join in the plunder around them. I’ve seen it first hand. If only 10% of Nigerian Christians take their Christian ethics to their places of work, I dare say Nigeria will be the best country in the world. The Pastor can rule Ogbomoso with the wisdom of Solomon but he will not be able to stop the rituals to other gods that go well against his Christian calling. And those rituals will be done in the Oba’s name.
Well said my sister, that’s the problem we christains have. I was at a shop to get provision one day in the same town this man will soon become king, it was close to election, you can imagine the shop owner who happens to be a woman telling me that good christains shouldn’t venture into politics. According to her, heaven was a christain final destination, so a christain has no biz with politics. It’s this kind of mindset that has made Muslims to dominate this country when the population is split almost evenly btw christainity n Islam. He who has the power calls the shot. Whether we like it or not, religion cannot be separated from politics. Try to become the United States If you are not a christain and see if u will succeed or even the prime minister of Britain. The queen of England is the head of state and same time the head of church of England. Are we more civilized than these countries or are we trying to be more catholic than the pope.
If it is call by God to the Tronw of obas verry good and nice
I pray that God will empower him to be able to destroy the evil altars of ognomosho and bring them to the Light of God on Jesus name. God will preserve him and help hom rule according to His desires. May his reign be peaceful in Jesus name.
Amen 🙏, thank you for your prayers.
Did you see the name Olaoye from birth .It know that he will be a king ..He can not throne the entitlement that belongs to him from birth
God created both the Christian and the traditionalists including the Jews and the muslims
Great there’s nothing like lost of tradition, Obas are the custodians. It’s just shift in culture and traditions. It’s a great thing that is happening in this generation.
Honestly, there is nothing bad in a Pastor becoming a King. I dont know why most Yorubas dont appreciate their traditions. Christianity & Islam was brought to us & Traditional religions have been in existence before these 2 Religions.
Great is God’s faithfulness unto us.Godis the alpha and omega and whatever he says is the final.Therefore God is accomplishing Pastor Ghandi’s ordained errands to human hoods.
I pray that the God that has started the good deeds in his life will finish it and his reign will be peaceful to all nations in Jesus mighty name.
LONG MAY YOU REIGN IN PEACE ,LOVE OF GOD AND HARMONY IN JESUS NAME 🙏 🙌
Ghandi Olaoye is great from youth, and as a friend, I believe the Lord had so much preserved him, for signs revealed something is different about him. May the Lord God guide him through.
Let us all pray that he has a prosperous & successful reign crowned with long life.
The beginning of new dawn in Ogbomosho. He will not backslide and his reign will be peaceful. God will endow him with more knowledge and wisdom. It will be well with him, his household and people of Ogbomosho in Jesus Christ name.
Great there’s nothing like lost of tradition, Obas are the custodians. It’s just shift in culture and traditions. It’s a great thing that is happening in this generation.
Congratulations to the newly elected king.May he rain and be in custodian of all the religions for long.
Awesome 👌 👏 👍🏾
Glory be to God Almighty.
Congratulations to the good people of Ogbomosoland and in diaspora. It’s the Lord’s doing and it is maveleous in our sight.
We cannot continue to live in the past and expect development to come as the world keeps on changing for the best. Thanks be to God and also to the Kingmakers.
I pray that his reign will bring peace, blessings and developments to the Land.
Long live The Soun elect, Ogbomosoland, Oyo State and Nigeria in general.
Congratulations to Pastor G….. I pray that God the sets down Kings & sets up Kings will establish His righteous rule & light of Christ in the entire kingdom of Ogbomosho coupled with unprecedented prosperity & development in that Kingdom through Pastor G.
I have seen several Islamic scholars, some of them Justices of the Appellate Courts in Nigeria resigning their jobs in the North to assume the position of emirs or sultan ie Emir of Ilorin. I wonder what all this controversy is all about in Pastor Ghandis case. That Kingdom will become the replica of the Kingdom of heaven on earth. Mark my word bcos this is the turning point.
The Lord that sent you there will back you up in Jesus. Be encourage ,the Lord God is with you and your family in Jesus name.
I rejoice with the king elect. Remember how king David emerged as the king of Israel? Pastor G is the king David of Ogbomoso land. He is the man after God’s heart who emerged from wilderness. Congratulations sir. Your reign shall be peaceful and progressive
David became king in Israel. The first president of cac‐ Christ Apostolic Church,Oba Akinyele became d first Olubadan in his time with d leading of God. What else do u want. D man can become king if God permit him.
Congratulations to you Pastor G. Olaiye. More blessings, more winning and more anointing Sir.
Congratulations to the entire peoples of Ogbomosho. The Light shall continue to shine on the City of Ogbomosho and it’s environ.
I don’t know about eating from both quarters – all I know is that you cannot eat your cake and have it; you cannot mix light with darkness. And truly surprised at the congratulatory comments here.

In your narrow mindedness assuming the position of the queen of England has no evil connotations but been a soun of Ogbomosho is devilish and unholy.
Pastor Olaoye becoming a King is a promotion. Kings and Queens are recognised in the Bible. He will bring his vast knowledge of the word of God into bearing when ruling in his Kingdom – Ogbomoso Land. The RCCG G. O. is free to go and bless him during his installation. May God Almighty bless his reign In Jesus Name.
Why do we revere and make other foreign monarchies as clean, but despise our own monarchies as dirty? The reason is because, those countries have polished theirs with respectable people who changed their outlook and made it acceptable to all. The caliber of Obas, Ezes and Emirs that are coming up should make every effort to dispel some of these old assumptions that people have about these titles and transform them into world class monarchies. If a Physician, Professor and other educated professionals can mount the stool of their forefathers, why not a Pastor that can help bring light and break the strongholds to those communities. If no one has a problem with those aiming to hold the highest office in the land, then, you should have no problem with a Pastor called to serve his people at the highest office of its kingdom. May your reign, Oba-elect Pastor Ghandi, bring favour, goodness and prosperity to your kingdom. Amen
Becoming a king to rule over his father’s land is not backsliding,let’s everyone of us understand that facts.
Your erroneous believe is one of the reasons why unbelievers and bad leaders are so many in Africa today…it is high time Christian leaders emerges from all sectors in this continent
No matter what you believe or say IT IS ENTIRELY YOUR OPINION. it’s part of the madness of colonisation and the desecration of our religions that generations African children will ridicule their own. The Queen of England son was getting married and many CHRISTIANS here were tapping into ‘Megan markhle blessings’. The sheer size of the hypocrisy.
Thank you for this comment joor.
It is good to have someone who has a sound teaching and doctrine as soon heaven will rejoice over it, may it be so amen
God is not man. HE moves in mysterious ways, so no man can map His ways.
What if the King was converted when he’s already ascended the throne of his forefathers? Would that be ok?
It is only God who has answers to life, I’ll therefore suggest people be patient and genuinely pray for the king elect’s success and progress for the Ogbomoso people in general during his reign.
Religion (Christian/traditional/Islamic, etc. with its rules and regulations), does not make a man. Living true in the agape love of God towards other people one interacts with, does, irrespective of your religion.
That someone is a Christian does not mean he cannot be a king, the Bible talks about royal priest hood ,in order words , a king and a priest, Judah belongs to such,it all depends on individual .If I’m in his shoe, I will show my interest that I wish to be a king but at the same time let them know that I cannot participate in fetishism. IF THEY AGREE GOOD IF NOT I WALK AWAY, IT IS NOT A MATTER OF DO OR DIE. NOTHING IS COMPULSORY IN LIFE. THE ONLY COMPULSORY THING TO ME IS TO MAKE HEAVEN, WHICH IS ALSO A MATTER OF CHOICE AND GRACE.
God bless you! You are a true of your name “…Fiyinfoluwa”
Guys who’s king David in the bible?, The man after Gods heart, abi. Glory to God Almighty for pastor Olaoye. Please reign on my wonderful king…may God guide and be with you during your reign.
To all please I have a question is it a crime to be born into a royal family?and because you have become a christian then it’s your turn to ascend to your ancestors throne,
Then you renounce it base on Christianity affiliations
Not at all sir! There is No crime in that sir. But, immediately Christ bestowed on us there is glory that cannot be defined or explained by other; even some of us cannot even explain the expression of transformation that Christ mirrors in our lives for Christ in you is the hope of glory (meaning – our past re- amended, our present taking over by Lordship of Jesus Christ- meaning there must be fellowship, purpose and mandate, revelations and actualizations, divine accomplishment – mysteries of He do His things not outside His word or confined around His word and it will lost our wills for His purpose that Christ should be glorified in all we do! If the parameters of what our pastor (Pst. Olaoye) assigned to do is these above stated then glory to God; because where light entered darkness disappeared. God uses His own to change the world for better and at times it may really surpassed our understanding and righteousness- our righteousness is like the filthy rags before God and God righteousness makes us marveled and ignite light with waves of glory and empowers us to see things how God is! Very soon God will shows if his for Him or not…all we need now as brothers and sisters is to prayer for him more and more even if we seen worse befalling him; we would not lost him to devils…God has the way to change evil meant for good. To me I can’t wait to hear his testimony soon. Hallelujah!!!
I really congratulate the oba elect pastor G and his family with the whole entire Ogbomoshos that his reign will usher in peace and prosperity with tranquility to his people in Jesus mighty name amen.
Kaabiesiooo.
You will live longer than your ancestors Amin.
We love you.
I don’t see the acceptance of the throne as an error or mistake, but an opportunity to convert many lives to christ as a king that has authority over everything in the land,,, bowing down to the idols of the land is a choice,, he can give them his condition before accepting it. We have seen many obas here who are sound Christians. If i were him i will still pastor a church .
I believe the pastor understands what it takes to become Soun. Ogbomoso is a town with rich history in Yoruba race, where up to tomorrow people are still worshiping egungun, oro, ifa and the rest .
I see the post not to interest any foreign religious person, cos it is absolutely impossible to do without those in the local faith right away from the beginning.
Cos , they are the one to make the Soun.
Soun is not made in the church or mosque.
This is the Lord’s doing and it’s marvelous in our eyes. We need more people like Pastor Ghandi n our palaces and position of powers in our nation. God that backed up Kings David and Josiah will back him up. Read 2Kings 23 verses 23-25 you will know that it is doable for Christians to be successful as king. Pastor King Ghandi, May you do what is right in the sight of God in Jesus mighty name. Amen.
2 Kings 23:25 is your potion. Congratulations!!!!!!!!
Who knows if God wants him in such dispensation with Spiritual clarity in the Lord Jesus Christ.
May the Lord Jesus Christ fulfill in him reviving and soul winning in the traditional genre, amen
I don’t see anything wrong with Pastor G resigning and becoming a king. We don’t know if God is going to use him to draw more people to know and serve God. David in the Bible was king ….I don’t understand what the issue is
Congratulations to the new Oba, may your time being Peace, joy and increase in the household, town , state and in Nigeria. I don’t see a sin in someone becoming a king, we have so many christian in ekiti that are now king. I pray God will uplift and direct him and we shall use him as reasons we will want to go into leadership positions in politics, traditional and all areas of life. Congratulations to the Olaoyes family.
A man of God with the socioeconomic and religious background of Pastor Gandhi Afolabi Olaoye will no doubt bring a lot of development to Ogbomoso.With widespread orientation and a heartful of gold and love,all that HRM requires is a staunch support from his people and other well meaning Nigerians to take them to the next level.Congrats!Man of God .
Pastor, have you pray over it and what did God said? Is always difficult to combine tradition and born again. I believe as an experience Pastor you always hear from God. Did Almighty God said you should go?
Thank you very much sir! What did God said??? Hmmm…lets pray for him that even if he made a quick decision on this subject matter; the prayers of you and me and others has dominion to change situation for our favour sir- the effectual fervent (the serious synergistic prayers of a Christians) prayer of the righteous man availed much. James 5:16. Thank you
Nothing bad in his decision, I f God want it that way, in those days of the bible, prophet anoints kings, and kings are usually children of God… we are the one that hand over the ancient thrones to the idolaters, just waking up now from slumbering to take our position, sooner the so called idolatry will be wipe off,
Not too long, we also heard of deeper life pastor who became king in ekiti state…
Jesus is winning!!! Let’s God’s people take charge of his territory to the glory and expansion of the work of God in Jesus mighty name Amen. It’s never a bad decision leading God’s people.
To me here, just like what some people said “I believe the pastor understands what it takes to become Soun?” I believe he does! And even if is an error God will have mercy on him and He will not allows him and his households to be consumed in Jesus’ name! Having said I believe the roles God wants us to play is to be light to ourselves first, our brothers primary task and to the world at large secondary task. Apparently, Lets come to think of it! Our pastor had seen the light of God- I’m sure he had which is the of Glory in him could not be contained and he had perhaps saved souls for God – which means many lives through him had an encountered with the light of God by his preaching of the Gospel – meaning enjoyed and transformed to the confined of the sons of God the ultimate desire of God need to us after we been saved and he wants the world under him – the indigenous of Ogbomoso, his father households to know the essence of God’s glory and grace available at hand in a very short period so that God will save them before is too late! Christ will not appreciates to waste His calling upon him as a vessel onto honour because His still valued to Shepard hundreds of souls and if one perhaps is missing He will leaves ninety-nine and go after the missed one soul! So, God really placed values on all of us and He would not allowed Ogbomoso not to be save for Christ; it doesn’t matter how many Churches or RCCG there before his mandates and if God is save “the needful – the elects, the soldiers” like Saul who became Paul and won more for Christ than other apostles in the past so, because inside every person God saves there is untapped hidden treasures that could domesticates the whole world in our hands for the glory of God. Praise the Lord!!! I pray even in his weakness God will be glorify and the whole Ogbomoso will sparks for light up for Christ in Jesus’ name. Amen. I believe this what God will achieved in time to come. Congratulations to our pastor Olaoye to championed this goal. God bless you and crown you grace to function in Jesus’ name. Amen
I don’t understand how it’s okay for Queen Elizabeth to be the supreme head of the Church of England but it’s not okay for Pastor G to be the Oba of Ogbomoso?
There’s something inherently wrong about the way we see ourselves as African Christians . The folks that brought the bible to us are holding on Tightly to their traditions and culture but we want to trade ours for suites and tie, fork, knives and twisted tongues.
My only question was he called to pastor? If so did God stop calling him to serve in the church ?
You see, my challenge with the Church is that we have approached the salvation plan of God from a negative point of view more than the positive; can we just shift and approach God positively? We receivedJesus Christ, but did not stop been afraid of the devil. Please let’s be bold to take positions, kingdoms and territories for Christ with a positive mind; knowing that God who is the creator of heaven and earth lives in you……this consciousness sends the darkness on the run. Let’s stop being fearful! This will hinder the progress of the gospel.
