Dear Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo COZA, The Wealthy Place!!!

Greetings to you in the Name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Ordinarily, we do not respond to social media commentaries or controversies. However, we consider it necessary to address your recent statements, which have been widely circulated on your social media platforms, for the following three reasons:

1. Scriptural Justification — The Bible permits us to respond wisely to folly to prevent arrogance (Proverbs 26:5).

2. Clarification of Truth — To correct the misleading narrative you are promoting about ministry and wealth.

3. Defense of Legacy — To address the inaccurate claims you’ve made regarding the life and ministry of Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola, the first General Evangelist of Christ Apostolic Church.

In one of your trending messages on YouTube, you acknowledged that Apostle Babalola was highly anointed but "had no money", and then went on to ask sarcastically, “Where are his children?” — a question that was both insensitive and ill-informed.

To equate anointing or ministerial success with material wealth is biblically flawed. The words of Jesus are clear:

"Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses." — Luke 12:15.

Yet, your teachings suggest otherwise.

In doing so, you promote what the Bible refers to as Simony — the monetization of spiritual gifts (Acts 8:18–24). The Scriptures do not teach that money is a sign of anointing. Rather, “the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil” (1 Timothy 6:10). Which Bible do you read and preach from?

On the Question of Apostle Babalola’s Children

Ethically speaking, Apostle Babalola had children. Simple arithmetic should help you understand that they would be advanced in age by now — possibly your grandparents' age. What did you hope to achieve with the mocking question, “Where are the children of Babalola?”

Your statement reflects more on the kind of company you keep, but as a preacher of the Word, shouldn’t your conduct and utterances be guided by Scripture?

Where in the Bible does your brand of prosperity theology originate — one that demeans people for not being wealthy? Isn’t such a message encouraging greed, corruption, and godlessness, especially in a nation already struggling with moral decay?

Setting the Record Straight

For the sake of truth and posterity, let me correct the public misrepresentations you’ve made regarding Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola:

1. Calling

Apostle Babalola was called by God on October 10, 1928, at the age of 24. His ministry spanned Western and Midwestern Nigeria, and extended to the Gold Coast (now Ghana), marked by undeniable signs and wonders.

2. Wealth and Lifestyle

He was blessed — but not materialistic or greedy. He gave lands to the Church, supported the education of many, fed the poor, and lived sacrificially. He housed more people than just his biological children.

When Queen Elizabeth II visited Nigeria in February 1956, Apostle Babalola was among the honored guests. Would a man in rags be granted such recognition by a colonial government? Certainly not.

He was no fundraiser, yet God supplied his needs. His diaries are filled with divine provisions like: “Ipese Olorun loni: £100.00, £50.00...”

He lived in a befitting home, drove one of the best Ford Jeeps of his time, and funded weddings, education, and apprenticeship programs — all without exploiting the pulpit.

3. Family

His children — Mama Eunice Wuraola Ogini and Apeke Adeniyi — are alive, blessed, fulfilled, and quietly serving the Lord in their respective churches. They are not loud, ostentatious, or greedy.

4. Legacy

Apostle Babalola’s anointing impacted generations. More than 66 years after his passing, his legacy continues to inspire and bless countless lives and ministries. That is true impact.

Let me pose a question to you:

When Peter said in Acts 3:6, “Silver and gold I do not have…” — was he still anointed or not?
I leave that for you to ponder.

5. Conclusion

The measure of a believer’s anointing is not in material accumulation, but in sacrificial service.

"For the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit." — Romans 14:17.

Jesus taught:

“Whoever desires to be great among you, let him be your servant… just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve.” — Matthew 20:25–28.

Once again,
“Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.” — Luke 12:15.

May God give us all the grace to rightly divide the Word of Truth, and to walk in humility, reverence, and godly wisdom.

I usually do not like commenting on issues on social media but this one, I will say something.

There was a video of Moses Bliss and his wife having a conversation and the wife was calling him 'sir' and some people started dragging her for calling him 'sir'. Really??? Where do we draw the line??? How can you want to tell a grown woman what to call her husband or how to address him?? How is it your business? If she chooses to call her husband 'Uncle', how is that a problem, or your problem for that matter ?

Please let people live their lives as they please. Not everyone will be woke. Some people are at peace with being old-fashioned and submissive. Let them breeevee!!! You that want to call your husband 'ehs wos wobi', please go ahead.

The funny thing is that this is coming from many people who grew up in homes where their mothers called their fathers 'daddy'.

In the spirit of wokeness, if you want to sue your father for letting your mother call him daddy, please DM! It is a violation of her Fundamental Human Rice and your daddy should be brought to justice.

MAY WE NOT ENTER INTO ANY MISTAKE THAT WILL END OUR DESTINY.

Sammy Okposo traveled to America in late 2021 and slept with a strange lady during his stay over there.
The said lady came forward in early January, 2022 and accused Sammy Okposo of getting her pregnant, she also insisted that she was going to keep the pregnancy.
Sammy Okposo was humiliated by the scandal, he tendered a public apology to his wife, and the Christian community.
He also suspended himself from his singing ministration till he made resistitution to God.
Ten months after the scandal broke out, Sammy Okposo slumped and died. Since his passing over 20 months ago, the strange lady who accused Sammy of impregnating her is yet to announce the birth of her child.

She boasted that she was going to keep the pregnancy. It's been over two years, we haven't heard anything from her.

Who knows if it was the scandal that hastened Sammy's déath? Brothers, you have to be careful about mistakes that end destinies

May we and our Children not enter into any Mistake that will end our destinies, in the name of Jesus Christ Amen 🙏

PROSPERITY IS A FUNCTION OF THE SOUL

People of God, there is no prosperity without a soul that is prospering, because real prosperity has nothing to do with money but has to do with the prosperity of the soul. The quality of your prosperity and help will be determined by the prosperity of your soul. So, if your soul prospers; it is impossible for your life not to prosper in the way.

The only thing that can make your soul prosper is the word of God so the amount of the truth you know will determine how prosperous you are. A proverb says, ‘knowledge is power’. The word of God says “My people perish because of lack of knowledge”. When you have the knowledge of the word of God, there is nothing that can stop you from being prosperous in life. A life that is not prosperous in life is a life without the word of God because God promises us prosperity according to His word.

There are two ways to prosperity:
1. God prospering a man.
2. Man making his way prosperous.
- To make your way prosperous means the longer you live the more you get prosperous in life.

Two things to renew your soul
1. Put the word of God in your heart. Before you begin to build the right things, you must first of all break down the bad things. The mind of a man is designed to stop and listen to what the mouth is saying. So what you say will surely affect your mind. You don’t fight thought with thought but with the word of God.

2. Meditation: this means to will it over in your mind and to mortal it on yourself and always know that meditation is done using one or little verses but not on a chapter. It can also be on a particular truth. So always meditate on the word of God and you will see that your mind will get renewed.

Fufeyin: Sorcerer Masquerading as Man of God

By Solomon Buchi

Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin is not a Christian let alone a prophet. He isn’t a man of God. He is a sorcerer working with a familiar spirit. He should be called out, rebuked and arrested.

We can’t have charlatans disgrace the precious name of Jesus this way, and soil the perception of the church.

It was imperative for me to make this post because this pious faith we have received must be guarded against clowns who relentlessly arm non-Christians with the arsenal to loathe and ridicule the church. As much as we are commissioned to preach the gospel; we are also commissioned to let known what Christianity is not.

Peter rebuked Simon who was an amazing magician that swayed lots of people. Peter told him that his heart was not right before God. Jeremiah’s heart is not right before God. Bragging about being a billionaire, threatening people, selling miracle soap and David’s stone for business, marriage and ministry is just a fine rebrand of a local spiritualist. That man has no place in the church and God will judge him speedily.

Apostle Orokpo Condemns Criticisms Against Church Giving

Apostle Michael Orokpo, the Senior Pastor of Encounter Jesus Ministries International, has decried recent criticisms against church giving, labeling them as attacks on the church.

During a sermon, Orokpo asserted that the church requires financial resources to operate effectively and reach a wider audience.

He emphasized the costs associated with running a ministry, including technology, infrastructure, and personnel.

"There is a misconception that churches amass wealth without justification," Orokpo stated. "This is far from the truth. The gospel is spread through various channels, many of which require financial support. We must not allow negative narratives to deter us from supporting the work of God."

The clergyman further encouraged his congregation to remain steadfast in their giving, drawing parallels to the early church where believers sold possessions to support the ministry.

He cautioned against allowing negative influences to undermine their faith and generosity.

No President is as Busy as God, Says
PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has stated that no president is as busy as God, yet God is always available to give His undivided attention whenever anyone calls on Him.

He made this statement in the "Open Heavens" devotional book while discussing the topic "Ask in His Name" on Tuesday, August 13, 2024.

According to Adeboye, "I have been to the offices of some presidents. Before you go, you must first book an appointment. If the president asks you to come by 2 p.m. and you get there early, you may still not be allowed to see him until 5 p.m. because the president is busy."

"At times, it is the president who needs you, but you still must wait. No president is as busy as God, yet He is always available to give you His undivided attention whenever you call on Him—He is never too busy," he said.

The renowned cleric, quoting from the scriptures, Psalm 66:17-20, said, "Jesus said that whenever we come to God in prayer, we should come in His name. I can send you to someone and give you a signed note asking the fellow to give you what you want.

"However, when I say you should go in my name, what I mean is that, even though you are the one going there, when you arrive at the gate, tell them it is Adeboye who has arrived. When the people see you, they are to receive you and treat you as if I am the one they are welcoming."

Pastor Adeboye urged believers not to worry about anything; just pray in Jesus’ name, and the problem is solved (John 14:13-14).

THESE FATHERS ARE OLD SCHOOL

This was what someone told me one time like that..

If doing like old school is what brings the genuine power of God then I love it like that.

Baba Oyeniyi only told us to be clapping, no instruments, no cymbals ,no strings and things began to happen on their own accord if this is old school then I love it like this.

These men doesn't teach rhema in Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic but they have power with God.

We actually act as if we know so much but the reality is that we don't know anything yet..Can we swallow our pride?

Baba Oyeniyi was ministering to us in one of our conferences and he was groaning and roaring during prayer session all I could do was to breakdown in tears. And someone call this one old school? No wonder the canopy of deception is flying around and we are gladly accepting it. May our eyes be opened.

I heard directly from Baba S.O Oladele (CAC President) that Baba Obadare in one of His meeting (koseunti) was sweating as he wiped away the sweat it touched a blind man seating at the front seet and he began to see.If this also is called old school then I love it like this.

Baba Oyeniyi told us about a Revival that broke out in 1906. How that everyday 3000 copies of bibles were sold..This is revival and if you also call this old school then I want to remain old school.

May the lord give you understanding.

I am Old School.

DUNAMIS STATEMENT

DUNAMIS INTERNATIONAL GOSPEL CENTRE
(DESTINY HOUSE)
AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON MS ANYIM VERONICA NNENNA'S
TESTIMONY

A scenario was created on Sunday the 14th April., 2024 at the Glory Dome, the
Global Headquarters of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, when Ms Anyim Veronica Nnenna came out to testify of how God helped her graduate from the
University, thus making her the first person to attain that feat in her family.
Dunamis Arena, Beside Old Fed. Sec.,

These were the immediate triggers for the said scenario:

First, listening to the testifier's expressions as it borders on basic spoken English,
conveys the impression that the minimum standard expectation of a graduate, especially a graduate of Law was not met.

Second, stating that she studied Law for 10 years begged the question of what her
degree actually was.

Third, she was unable to state exactly what the correct is LLB
rather she said it was a B.Sc in Law which is largely unknown as degree in Law in Nigeria and possibly globally.

These prompted the Senior Pastor. Dr. Paul Enenche to stop the testimony immediately as a product of a "lie."

However, relief came when it was later
confirmed that she actually graduated from a university.
It must be pointed out clearly here that embarrassing the testifier publicly with
the attendant media frenzy was never intended; whatever happened was under the spur of the moment.

The action of the Senior Pastor was rather based on his and the church's aversion to seeming mediocrity and any appearance of untruth.

God bless us all.
While we remain resolute in our passion for excellence, intolerance of mediocrity and falsehood, we wish to reiterate the fact that no harm or hurt was ever intended by the Senior Pastor against Ms. Anyim Veronica.

The Senior Pastor feels deeply
concerned and had already reached out to her.

As a Commission, we regret every inconvenience, hurt and embarrassment this unfortunate scenario has caused to Ms Anyim Veronica Nnenna. We remain
committed to her physical welfare as well as her spiritual growth.

Sylvester Edoh

Personal Assistant/Secretary to the Senior Pastor,
Dunamis Int'1 Gospel Centre.
