Bishop David Olatunji Abioye:
The Pastor of Generals
By Daniel Breakforth
In the year 1983, a new church called the Living Faith World Outreach Centre was commissioned by Pastor Enoch Adeboye in Ilorin, Kwara State of Nigeria. Shortly after the commission date, the Church moved by divine instruction to Kaduna instead of the initial plan to start off at Jos, Plateau State. The new Church was led by Pastor (later Bishop) David Oyedepo. Oyedepo was not a stranger to Kaduna. In the year 1973, he had attempted to join the Nigerian Air Force at the age of 19 through the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) just after the Civil War. Now a young pastor, he sometimes visited his military friends at the NDA as well as other collocated units within the massive Ribadu Cantonment. However it appears that God had other plans for Oyedepo. In 1987, one of his young pastors, David Abioye who had joined the Church as a staff at the end of his National Youth Service Corps period was sent to Maiduguri to open up a new branch. Shortly after this, by 1988, Living Faith was considered the largest Pentecostal Church in northern Nigeria. In 1989, Bishop David Oyedepo announced to the 3000 members that the Church intended to build Garden of Faith-the largest Church auditorium in Northern Nigeria. The Church opened up a new branch at Iyana Ipaja in 1989 called Winners' Chapel in response to a divine call to Oyedepo-Get down to Lagos and raise me a people.
That was not all, in his own words, Bishop Oyedepo explains the change of baton that soon transpired.
THE CHANGE OF THE KADUNA CHURCH PASTORATE
"In view of the enormous work on ground at Kaduna in the early days of the Lagos church, I was shuttling between Lagos and Kaduna; Lagos this Sunday, Kaduna next. I was always in Kaduna anytime I had any outreach up north.
On a particular day in May 1990, concluding a seminar in the city of Jos on Saturday night, I started racing down to minister at the Sunday service in the Kaduna church. Suddenly, I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, ‘When you were the Pastor of the Kaduna church’. Immediately, I questioned, ‘Were?’ I did not have the patience to listen to what followed; I shouted, ‘Who then is the Pastor?’ And God said, ‘Send for my servant, David (Abioye), he shall be the shepherd of the flock’. While I ministered at the church that Sunday morning, in my characteristic manner, I shared with the congregation exactly what the Lord told me, and that was how the pastorate of the Kaduna church changed hands by divine order. From that very day, I ceased to see myself as the Pastor of that church. The good news is, there was no rethink or regret but testimonies of growth and expansion. Today, the Kaduna church is a beauty to behold".
Pastor David Abioye was then transferred from Maiduguri to Kaduna in the early days of the Living Faith Church’s national expansion. This seemed like a routine ministerial reassignment. However, what followed was not just a chapter in church growth—it was the quiet unfolding of a legacy that would deeply influence Nigeria’s military elite.
Kaduna is home to several of Nigeria’s most critical military institutions, including the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), Armed Forces Command and Staff College (AFCSC) Jaji, Infantry Centre and School Jaji, Headquarters 1 Division Nigerian Army, Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Base, Training and Tactical Group (TTG), other NAF units, and the famed Depot Nigerian Army in Zaria, among others. Into this unique military atmosphere, Pastor Abioye was posted as resident pastor of Living Faith Church Barnawa—popularly known as the Garden of Faith. He was then consecrated Bishop in 1993 at the age of 32. He remains the youngest to be consecrated Bishop of a mainline Church globally Humorously, Abioye just like Oyedepo had also previously attempted to join the military from Kaduna.
At a time when spiritual depth and moral guidance were quietly sought by many gentlemen officer cadets of the NDA and in fact, many young and seasoned officers alike, Bishop Abioye’s life and message stood out. His disciplined lifestyle, gentle demeanor and commanding yet humble pulpit presence drew men and women in uniform to the church in large numbers. For almost two decades, the Garden of Faith remained the largest megachurch in northern Nigeria and one of the most spiritually influential.
NDA was, very tough...to say it very nicely. Consequently, week after week, cadets from the NDA having endured grueling training sessions all week, would find refuge and refreshing on Sundays at the Barnawa church. Midweek services were an unaffordable luxury! For the gentleman officer cadet, 'Heaven at last' was simply not enough as the daily sufferings and challenges otherwise known as Punishment Tutorials Endurance ( PUTTEE) always stretched them physically and spiritually to the limits. They needed reassurance, they needed words of Hope, they needed encouragement and they needed a purpose to stay alive. The Catholic Church is known to be very disciplined with time. Service times are fixed and start and end promptly. However majority of Christian cadets at the time were either non Catholics or at least did not attend the Barracks Catholic Church. Imagine a situation where a Rev Father complains during mass of sounds of 'up, up, up, up up...while voices under duress were counting...33, 34, 35...101, 102 etc behind the Altar (Very few, will understand this). The only other church which had the combined qualities of timeliness and promptness at the time was 'Living Faith'. The cadets could not afford a church that had no respect for time. Time was of essence and the time to come out through Abakpa, Equitation, Kurumashi or Silver Jubilee Gate was not fixed. With the 3 services at Garden of Faith which was the only Living Faith Church at the time, one could always find an early or late morning service that would fit into their 'Up' plans and Bishop Abioye was always on hand and bellowing... There is Hope for you!
At the time Bishop Abioye took over in Kaduna, members of the NDA 37RC were passing out cadets. General Gwabin Musa would have been a 4th termer and gradually transforming from 'Kati Kati' to Acting Period. Also by the time Bishop Abioye was moved to Abuja in 2004, the members of 55th RC were second termers. This implies that Bishop Abioye oversaw about 18 Academy (Regular) courses (asides various short service courses) as the longest serving Living Faith Church pastor over Garden of Faith.
Bishop Abioye’s messages were not only encouraging—they were stabilizing. They offered hope, moral clarity and spiritual courage, reinforcing the discipline instilled during military training but anchoring it in godly values. His altar call would always begin with... Say with me Dear God...
Beyond the cadets, officers stationed across military formations in Kaduna and beyond—AFCSC, ICS, NAF Base, Depot NA Chindit Barracks/NASMP Zaria and even more remote military units—made it a routine to worship under his leadership. His consistency, integrity and rare ability to relate the gospel to leadership and purpose earned him the respect and loyalty of Nigeria’s rising military brass.
In 2002, he was invited to minister at the Fellowship of Christian Cadets within the NDA. That service made history: For the first time, the NDA’s garrison protestant church auditorium was filled to overflowing. Cadets, officers, administrative staff and even civilians came en masse to hear him minister—a moment that solidified his role as a spiritual compass to many within the armed forces. Though eventually represented by one Pastor Victor Olafisoye, the message he personally sent was well received.
Over the years, many of those cadets have risen through the ranks to become 1-star, 2-star, 3-star and even 4-star generals in the Nigerian Armed Forces and many other countries within Africa. Yet, they continue to hold Bishop Abioye in the highest esteem—not just as a preacher from their youth, but as a father in the faith whose words and character deeply shaped their journey. Some regularly consult him for prayer and counsel; others simply draw strength from his continued presence, teachings and landmark example of stewardship and loyalty.
The Transfer of Bishop David Abioye to Abuja
Bishop David Abioye was transferred from Kaduna to Abuja during a period of rapid church expansion and reactions as well as to douse some inflammable situations that had arisen. At the time, the Church was transitioning from a regional ministry centered in northern Nigeria to a national and international force and strategic placement of senior leaders was essential.
Bishop David Oyedepo, founder and presiding bishop of the Church, needed to solidify the church's presence in Nigeria’s new Federal Capital Territory and neutralise efforts at rebellion in some quarters. He appointed Bishop Abioye to lead the growing work in Abuja, a move that proved to be both strategic and transformative.
Upon arriving in Abuja, Bishop Abioye began pastoring at Durumi which was then the only branch in Abuja. This would eventually lead to him pioneering the Church work in the suburbs at Goshen City, the church’s massive 700 acre mission headquarters in the northern region which was built within 13 months with no assistance from the International headquarters and broke the record of Garden of Faith, Kaduna as the largest Church facility in northern Nigeria by 2010 However, even before the establishment of the Goshen facility in 2010, Abioye’s ministry had already gained deep roots in Abuja. His influence in the city, particularly among military officers and senior civil servants, began to grow in a quiet yet profound way.
This rise in influence among military personnel can be attributed to several factors. First, Abuja is not just Nigeria’s administrative capital—it is also home to major military installations, including the Defense Headquarters, Army, Navy and Airforce Headquarters, National Defence College and numerous officers’ quarters. The proximity of Abioye’s ministry to these centers meant his church was physically accessible to officers seeking spiritual direction and balance amid the demands of national service. After his move to Goshen, they were also willing to do the 30km+ drive out of Abuja metropolis to Goshen on Sundays.
Second, and perhaps more critically, Bishop Abioye’s personality and leadership style deeply resonated with military culture. He is known for his calm demeanor, disciplined approach to ministry and unshakable loyalty to his spiritual leader, Bishop Oyedepo. These traits mirrored the military’s values of order, hierarchy, loyalty, and self-control—values that often determine who an officer chooses to follow or confide in.
Abioye’s messages frequently emphasized honor, service, integrity, and responsibility—not only in spiritual matters but in daily life and leadership. His teachings avoided controversy and remained grounded in scripture and character development. For many officers, this was both refreshing and reassuring. He did not pander to status or power but modeled consistency and humility, which earned him long-term trust.
Moreover, the structure of the Living Faith Church itself—with its protocol-driven services, cell systems and clear chains of authority—created an environment that felt orderly and familiar to those from military backgrounds. It’s no surprise that over the years, many high-ranking officers not only became members of the Abuja church but developed close spiritual affiliations with Bishop Abioye himself.
Essentially, Bishop David Abioye’s transfer to Abuja was a pivotal moment in the growth of the Living Faith Church in Nigeria’s capital. His personal integrity, disciplined leadership and spiritual consistency made him a natural magnet for military officers and government elites alike. Today, he remains one of the most respected spiritual voices in the region—both within and beyond Pentecostal circles.
Remarkably, his influence has grown beyond church walls. Bishop Abioye has ministered and lectured at the National Defence College in Abuja, addressing elite military officers from Nigeria and across the world. He continues to engage actively in both physical and virtual fora where military personnel seek spiritual and ethical guidance.
Recently, Nigeria’s only serving 4-star general was spotted worshipping at the Living Word Conquerors Global Assembly, the new phase of Bishop Abioye"'s ministry—an unassuming but telling sign of how enduring and respected Bishop Abioye’s pastoral role remains within military circles.
Yet, in all of this, he has remained profoundly humble. Never one to boast or seek titles, Bishop Abioye continues to walk with quiet dignity, reflecting the servant leadership he has modeled for about 4 decades. His life is a testament to the truth that divine influence is not always loud—but it is lasting.
Indeed, his posting to Kaduna and later Abuja was more than a church assignment; it was a divine deployment. In the process, Bishop David Abioye became, almost inadvertently, the Pastor of Generals.

I think as you grow older,you look for very different things in people.
Honesty. Loyalty. Respect. But most of all, you look for someone who will stand right by your side when the walls start crumbling down and the fires rage within. They are right there and, in that moment, you know they've got you.0 Комментарии 0 Поделились 56 Просмотры -

My Husband's Wife Is His Mother (EPISODE 1)
If someone had told me that I wouldn’t get to spend my wedding night alone with my husband, I would have laughed in disbelief. But that night—my wedding night—was the first time I realized something was very wrong. And it all started with the sound of her slippers.
Flip. Flop. Flip. Flop.
I was in the bathroom, changing into my silk nightgown. I had planned this night down to the details. Candles. Perfume. The perfect playlist. After all the stress of wedding planning, I just wanted to hold the man I loved and breathe in the beginning of forever.
But the knock came.
It was soft at first. Then firmer. Then the voice.
“Oya open the door jare, make I lie down small. My waist is paining me.”
My husband laughed. Laughed.
“Shey I told you my mama doesn’t like hard beds,” he said, already heading for the door.
I peeked out from behind the bathroom door, confused. “What do you mean lie down?”
“She’ll just rest a bit. Don’t worry,” he said, brushing it off like it was normal. “She does this when she travels. The bed in the guest room is too small.”
“But... this is our wedding night,” I whispered, heart sinking.
He looked at me like I was being unreasonable. “Babe, it’s just for a bit. You know she’s old.”
Old? His mother was barely 60. Active. Loud. Controlling. She ran a shop, led the women’s group in church, and made sure to remind everyone that she raised her son "without a single coin from any useless man."
Still in disbelief, I watched as he opened the door and let her in.
She entered like she owned the room. Like she built it with her hands. She didn’t even look at me. Just removed her wrapper, fluffed a pillow, and slid into the middle of our bed.
My side.
“Put off that candle abeg,” she said, fanning herself. “You want to burn this house?”
I stood there frozen. My chest tightened. I looked at my husband, silently begging for support.
He sat beside her and smiled. “She’s just tired. Tomorrow, everything will be normal.”
But it wasn’t.
I barely slept that night. The three of us lay in that bed like sardines in a can. Every time I shifted, her leg brushed mine. At one point, she even snored. Loudly. I turned to face the wall, hot tears forming in my eyes.
This wasn’t what I signed up for.
---
The next morning, she woke before us and clapped her hands loudly.
“Wake up, wake up! This is not honeymoon o, this is my son’s house. I want to boil water.”
I sat up, dazed. My husband stretched lazily and gave her the same smile he gave me during our vows.
“Mama, you want me to carry the pot?”
“Ehen, now you’re talking.”
And just like that, they left me in the room. Alone. In my own marriage.
---
Later that day, I tried to talk to him.
“Why did she sleep in our room?” I asked gently, not wanting to seem disrespectful.
He sighed. “Babe, you know how close I am to my mom. It’s just for a while. She said she wants to be around until you're strong enough to manage things.”
“I’m not sick,” I replied, trying to control my voice. “And we just got married. Shouldn’t we be alone?”
He shrugged. “Just give her time. She’s adjusting too.”
Adjusting? She was adjusting?
What about me?
---
That evening, it happened again. She brought her wrapper, pillow, and blanket. No questions asked. She even had the audacity to say, “Ah, I like this mattress. Very firm. Good for my back.”
I stood by the bed, still in my wrapper, and didn’t know what to do.
“Mama,” I tried to speak, “maybe you can try the guest room again? We just—”
She turned her head sharply. “You want to chase me away from my son’s room? Is it now a sin for a mother to sleep beside her child?”
My husband kept quiet.
Dead silence.
I looked at him, pleading with my eyes.
He avoided my gaze and said, “Let’s not make this a big issue tonight. We’ll talk about it tomorrow.”
But tomorrow never came.
---
I started noticing little things. How she always sat between us when we watched TV. How she would call him to come lie down beside her during the day and rub her back. How she took over my kitchen and rearranged everything without asking. How she spoke to me like I was the house girl.
I wanted to be respectful. I was raised to honor elders. But this? This was not honor. This was intrusion. This was something else entirely.
A twisted triangle. A marriage with three corners.
And somehow, I was the outsider.
---
That night, I called my elder sister.
“Sis, she sleeps between us. Every night. She won’t leave.”
She paused. “What does your husband say?”
“Nothing. He acts like it’s normal. Like I’m overreacting.”
She hissed. “That’s witchcraft. Or madness. Or both.”
I laughed bitterly. “It’s not funny.”
“No, I know. But you need to take control before it gets worse.”
“How?” I whispered. “How do I fight a mother-in-law on her son’s bed?”
There was silence. And then her voice was firm. “You’re the wife. Start acting like it. Don’t let her settle.”
But it was already too late.
She had settled.
She had brought her pillow. Her slippers. Her authority.
And on the first night of my marriage, I learned that love is not always a fairytale.
Sometimes, it’s a bed with three people—and one of them isn’t going anywhere.

PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR WHO TO BLAME, THAT IS WHY THEY REMAIN IN THE SAME PLACE
THERE IS NO ONE IN MY FAMILY THAT GAVE ME A DIME FOR THIS MINISTRY TO START
- Bishop David Oyedepo
While speaking on UNVEILING THE EVER WINNING WEAPON OF WISDOM, Bishop Oyedepo charged the congregation to avoid blaming anyone for the outcomes of their lives. He said "You are absolutely responsible for the outcome of your life. I caught it. No one to blame. People have people to blame, that is why they remain in the same place. 'If not that my uncle is a very ****** man, can I be like this now?' 'That my cousin is a devil. He is in UK and I am here. He is not sending me anything.' Church Gist. Do you know what he is going through where he is? 'My mother is my problem. If she had money and I went abroad like that other person, will I be like this now?' Sell your mother and travel abroad. People just keep looking for who to blame."
He furthered buttressed his point with this illustration, "When you point one finger at any man who is troubling you, there are three pointing at you. So even if the man doesn't trouble me and I still trouble myself, I am still going to be a failure. You can't cause me more than 25 per cent of my troubles. 75 per cent of my troubles are my own. A man's enemies are the people of his own household. You are your problem, it is not your background. Church Gist. You have joined another family, a family of Jesus. Your background has no more reference. Wake up my friend. There is no one in my family that put a dime for this ministry to start. Not one. They were not even privileged to know because they can discourage me. The closest to me that knew only found out on the day of Commissioning. I told them it is 9:00am that morning. You have counted so much on this ephemerals, that you miss the substance. You can't have God's backing and be backward."0 Комментарии 0 Поделились 58 Просмотры -
“Because of my success in business, many men were intimidated. Before marriage, I have dated men that were intimidated by my success.
Any small thing they will say is because of what I think I have, and this is what happens to most successful women.
The way I started fashion, I never imagined I would be a fashion designer because my mom was a tailor and each time she's working, we usually go by to help, not until I discovered it was more of a talent.
I have always thought I would go to school, become educated, and become a career woman. Today, I'm an owner of a very big fashion brand.
I never regret dropping out from school to pursue my dream. If I didn't, I'm not sure I would have been where I am today. If you have the opportunity to study, do it. The best decision for me might not be the best decision for you.
If you're a successful woman, there's a way people will always be looking at you. If you don't get married early, they will say it's because you have too much influence or too much money, so men can't come after you. But don't limit yourself. Any man that can't be with you is not man enough.”

Life can sometimes be harsh. At such moments, make sure that you are kind to yourself. Many people will judge you. Make sure you aren't one of them. You are fighting many unspoken battles. Be proud of yourself. Treat yourself with respect that you easily show others.Life can sometimes be harsh. At such moments, make sure that you are kind to yourself. Many people will judge you.

- Nancy IsimeThey say Edo girls are hard to handle, it’s a very big lie. We are some of the most loving, loyal, and emotionally intelligent women you’ll ever meet. Yes, we’re bold and we don’t take nonsense. But that doesn’t mean we’re difficult. It just means we know our worth.

PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR WHO TO BLAME, THAT IS WHY THEY REMAIN IN THE SAME PLACE
THERE IS NO ONE IN MY FAMILY THAT GAVE ME A DIME FOR THIS MINISTRY TO START
- Bishop David Oyedepo
While speaking on UNVEILING THE EVER WINNING WEAPON OF WISDOM, Bishop Oyedepo charged the congregation to avoid blaming anyone for the outcomes of their lives. He said "You are absolutely responsible for the outcome of your life. I caught it. No one to blame. People have people to blame, that is why they remain in the same place. 'If not that my uncle is a very ****** man, can I be like this now?' 'That my cousin is a devil. He is in UK and I am here. He is not sending me anything.' Church Gist. Do you know what he is going through where he is? 'My mother is my problem. If she had money and I went abroad like that other person, will I be like this now?' Sell your mother and travel abroad. People just keep looking for who to blame."
He furthered buttressed his point with this illustration, "When you point one finger at any man who is troubling you, there are three pointing at you. So even if the man doesn't trouble me and I still trouble myself, I am still going to be a failure. You can't cause me more than 25 per cent of my troubles. 75 per cent of my troubles are my own. A man's enemies are the people of his own household. You are your problem, it is not your background. Church Gist. You have joined another family, a family of Jesus. Your background has no more reference. Wake up my friend. There is no one in my family that put a dime for this ministry to start. Not one. They were not even privileged to know because they can discourage me. The closest to me that knew only found out on the day of Commissioning. I told them it is 9:00am that morning. You have counted so much on this ephemerals, that you miss the substance. You can't have God's backing and be backward."0 Комментарии 0 Поделились 57 Просмотры -

The Rat Who Wanted to Eat the Sky
⸻
In the lowlands of Uvoko, where millet grew tall and fruit trees leaned with sweetness, lived a rat named Diga. He was small, fast, and full of wild ideas.
But of all his dreams, one was the strangest:
He wanted to eat the sky.
“I will nibble the clouds,” he said.
“I will chew the stars like maize.”
“I will swallow the moon and save the sun for dessert.”
The other animals laughed.
“The sky is not food,” said the tortoise.
“You barely reach the mango branch!” cackled the parrot.
“Dream smaller,” sighed his cousin.
But Diga didn’t care. He believed hunger wasn’t just for the stomach—it was for wonder.
So he built.
He gathered bamboo and vines, old calabash shells and woven baskets.
He stacked and tied, climbed and fell, mended and rose.
Soon, a towering pillar spiraled into the clouds, shaking with every breeze.
The animals watched from below, jaws open.
“He’s going to do it,” they whispered.
“He’s going to bite the sky.”
Diga climbed for days.
He passed birds. Surprised bats. Even caught a glimpse of the moon, who blinked nervously.
At last, he reached the top—and opened his mouth.
But as he bit into the sky, something strange happened.
It didn’t taste like anything.
It didn’t break.
It didn’t fear him.
Instead, the sky whispered, “You have come far, but not for food.”
Diga blinked. “Then… why did I come?”
“To remember that some hungers are not for filling—but for feeling,” the sky answered.
And in that moment, Diga understood.
He didn’t want to eat the sky.
He wanted to touch it.
To know it.
To believe he could reach something no one thought he could.
He smiled, turned around, and began his descent.
When he reached the ground, the animals waited.
“Did you eat it?” they asked.
“No,” he said. “I tasted something better.”
“Like what?”
“Like belief.”
From that day on, Diga didn’t climb the sky. He taught others to dream instead.
And whenever a young animal doubted themselves, they were told the tale of the rat who almost swallowed the heavens—but chose wonder instead.
⸻
3 Moral Lessons:
1. Not all dreams are meant to be achieved—some are meant to stretch you.
Diga’s climb wasn’t about conquering, but growing.
2. It’s okay to dream big, even if others laugh.
Diga’s boldness inspired a forest that once mocked him.
3. What you seek may not be the answer—but the journey to it is.
Diga’s hunger led him not to food, but to faith.
