Pastor Olukoya about to lose Mountain of Fire Prayer City

Pastor Olukoya about to lose Mountain of Fire Prayer City; court returned land to original owners

The founder and General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), Daniel Kolawole Olukoya, is on the verge of losing the vast land on which his MFM Prayer City sits.                                    

According to Sahara Reporters:

A court ruling delivered on 12 May by Justice A.A Akinyemi of the Abeokuta Division of the High Court of Ogun State stated that the Adejonlu family are the bonafide owners of the land on which the famous crusade and camp ground sits in the Ogun State section

along the Lagos/Ibadan Expressway.                     

This implies that Mr. Olukoya's church had bought the land from, and paid, the wrong people.  

Ownership dispute over the the land began in 2003 and took the form of litigation via two different cases (Suit Nos. AB/60/2003 and AB/61/2003) between the Adejonlu and Oduleye families.                                

Justice Akinyemi's ruling, exclusively obtained by SaharaReporters, declared the Adejonlu family genuine owners of the land situated in Magada, Obafemi/Owode Local Government Area, and that they are entitled to the right of occupancy over the land.                        
Following the ruling handing ownership and right of occupancy to the Adejonlu family, their lawyer, Mr. R. O. Sadik, told SaharaReporters that he wrote many letters to Mr. Olukoya for negotiation and settlement. Mr. Sadik said he took the steps because of the profile of the pastor and his church. 

One of the letters, sighted by SaharaReporters, was dated 7 July and signed by one Miss Lateefa Sadik for Mr. Sadik's chambers. The letter recalled a meeting held between the legal firm and MFM representatives led by one Pastor Alewi.     

The letter then proceeded with demands by the land owners. Notably, the landowners requested the church, assisted by their lawyers, to determine the size and portion of their land on which MFM Prayer City sits. 

The letter also demanded a payment of N5million per plot to cover the acreage that would be agreed on by the land owners and the church. 

Similarly, the letter demanded the immediate payment of 40 per cent of the total cost of the acreage agreed upon.      

But these demands, Mr. Sadik told SaharaReporters, have been met with indifference. According to him, Mr. Olukoya is unwilling to negotiate with the landowners. He, however, warned that the owners are keen on enforcing the court ruling and taking full possession of the land.                              

"We have written to Dr. Olukoya over 10 times, and it is like he is not ready for settlement. He set up a committee, which was headed by Pastor Alewi, to look into the matter and our follow-up investigation shows that the report of the committee has got to Dr. Olukoya. 

But we have not heard any positive comment from him. In fact, his body language does not suggest he is ready to pay any money for the land belonging to my client," Mr. Sadik said.  

He explained that he met with representatives of the church on 8 October, but Mr. Olukoya was not at the meeting.               

"Presently, we are the practical owners of the land, according to the judgment delivered by the Court, but the pastor is unlawfully and illegally using it and selling part of it thereby making money off us while we are not getting anything," alleged Mr. Sadik.

Another party to the matter, Chief Gbolahan Timson (Oba Jagunmolu of Shomolu/Bariga), said he was disappointed by Mr. Olukoya's conduct all through the time of litigation. He also claimed that Mr. Olukoya went back on his promise and his failure to act is affecting the family members.          

"The Oduleye family were so greedy, and they were bent on taking over our land. For this reason, they went ahead sue us. We were served the court letter right in the office of Dr. Olukoya, and he said good luck to the winner and that he would settle whoever won the case. He made that statement when the case started 13 years ago. Now that we have won, he decided not to pay us. We explained to him that he paid the wrong party and he should pay our family who are the real owners of the land but he has refused," he said.

He added that Mr. Olukoya is saddened that he may have to pay more for the land. According to Chief Timson, the landowners gave a figure to the church. 

After receipt of the sum demanded, the General Overseer is not happy with us winning as he is going set up a committee to look into the case, but the committee came up with a much lower sum.                                                       

"From the information I got, he wanted to pay the money twice. But now, he is saying he is not paying us any money. I want to get people to talk to him so as to avoid unnecessary rancor like what is happening now. We cannot fight a battle for 13 years and still be begging for our right after winning. The court has declared us winner and the order of the court must be obeyed no matter who you are and what you do for a living," he said.

Prophet Joshua Iginla recounts how he started his church with only N250

Abuja-based pastor and founder of the Champions Royal Assembly, Prophet Joshua Iginla has revealed that he started his ministry 10 years ago with nothing but N250.

Prophet Iginla who had given major prophecies including a win for the Benue State Governor, Dr Samuel Ortom in the last election and was earlier in the year credited to have given out 32 cars to selected Nollywood actors including cash gifts said:

“It doesn’t matter to me if I trek home as I have given even the car that I personally drive. I can only drive one car and live in one house at a time.”

He continued:

“This understanding is what has taught me that when I die, others will inherit my assets. The beauty of life is not in its duration but in its donation. “I have not seen some of the ben­eficiaries before in my life or spoken to them. I’m seeing many of them for the first time today. I am seeing Jide Kosoko for the first time.”.

Speaking at the 10th year anniversary of the ministry themed “Grass To Grace”, the clergyman said:

“I started my church 10 years ago with N250. I actually started in an abandoned and uncompleted building. The building was abandoned by the owner for the fear of armed robbers who had terrorized him.  

We held the first service by clapping our hands in the building. After the service, some women around that area mocked me. They did not know me, but I knew I was not a failure.”.

Prophet Iginla during the anniversary which had in attendance the Benue State Governor amongst other dignitaries said he was however able to succeed because he broke the satanic rules of chronic-poverty.

Ignla further added during his message “Breaking Satanic Rules,” that it takes militancy mentality, prayers and faith to break satanic rules.

Update: Bishop Obinim says charges against him for assaulting 2 teenagers after having premarital sex makes no sense

Bishop Daniel Obinim, the Leader of International God’s Way Church has described the court charges levelled against him for flogging two teenagers in Church after having premarital sex 'Senseless'.
On Wednesday, November 9, 2016 , the controversial Bishop was charged alongside two of his aides for committing physical abuse and abetment, after he was captured in a video that went viral flogging his teenage members in church for having premarital sex which led to the girl getting pregnant.

Speaking recently with Adom Online in an interview, the bishop said he expected the prosecutor to have come to a consensus with him to resolve the issue off-air.

'I thought the case was over. It doesn’t make sense. The prosecutor could have come to a consensus with me off-air to resolve this issue,taking me to court is not really necessary. I told my lawyer I did not want to involve myself anymore, I expected the court to warn me not to repeat the gesture in the eyes of the public, but saying I am restricting them (the teenagers) from living their lives, what is really the sense in that?'

Bishop Obinim and two of his aides, Kingsley Baah and Solomon Abraham who were all granted bail of GHS10,000 each with one surety to be justified, will reappear at the Accra Circuit court on Thursday, November 24, 2016, for further hearing on the case.

Don’t criticise my university's fees to avoid God's wrath – Bishop Oyedepo

Dr. David Oyedepo, the Bishop of the Living Faith Church worldwide, has reportedly appealed to those criticising the school fees charged by Covenant University to desist from it so to avoid incurring the wrath of God.

Oyedepo, in a telecast to a pre-Shiloh 2016 Convention gathering of the church monitored via satellite in Jos on Saturday, said the critics were acting in ignorance and risked incurring the wrath of God.

He said one of such critic was smitten with a strange plague of chronic mouth odour over the act. He only received spiritual pardon following his confession and “my intervention before he was restored
to dignity”.

TheGuardian reports Oyedepo said the issue of school fees paid by students of the university was a godly agenda to meet the demands of raising godly children in an environment conducive for learning.

He said such criticisms were products of ignorance as what students pay could not be compared with what obtained elsewhere that lacked facilities.

“The school fees has God's approval and is in accordance with the quality of facilities provided by the university in meeting the educational needs of the nation,” he said.

He said the church in its pioneering role in pushing the frontiers of education with excellence had concluded plans to establish offshore universities.

The cleric said a fully automated Bible press by the church had been completed and would be launched soon.

Oyedepo, however, quoting from some verses of the Bible, which include Matthew 24:6-8, 1Peter 2:9, Joel 2:2 and Mal. 4:1, said the current economic meltdown was predicted but that committed Christians would be exempted.

He prayed for resources for parents to always meet the demands of the time and declared the theme of this year’s Shiloh holding between Dec. 6 and Dec. 10 as “My Case is Different”.

The bishop said this year’s annual event of Shiloh would not be advertised as past events as it would be church based.
