THE LAGOSIAN CELEBRATES PASTOR SUNDAY ADELAJA AS HIS UKRAINE-BASED INTERNATIONAL CHURCH MARKS 22 WONDERFUL YEARS

Welcome to "The Embassy of the Blessed Kingdom of God for All Nations".

PASTOR SUNDAY AND MRS BOSE ADELAJA, PATRIOTIC NIGERIANS PROMOTING THE GOOD IMAGE OF OUR NATION WHILE PREACHING THE WORD OF GOD WORLDWIDE 

In a season of national decay, when everything seems dark, when Nigerians wherever they go are looked down upon as a race of fraudsters, wicked, corrupt leaders and people of missed opportunities, it is always delightful and soul-lifting to find great souls among the same people telling, showing  and proving to the world that Nigerians are largely a great people; that we are resilient, hardworking, welcoming, God-fearing and forward-looking. One of such people is the amiable PASTOR SUNDAY ADELAJA, Founder and Senior Pastor of the Kiev, Ukraine-based EMBASSY OF OF THE BLESSED KINGDOM OF GOD FOR ALL NATIONS.

PASTOR ADELAJA HAS RAISED THE CHRISTIAN BANNER FROM THE UKRAINE TO THE WORLD, HELPING TO ENLIGHTEN THE WORLD THAT NIGERIANS ARE GOOD PEOPLE

FROM A TINY SEED, THE CHURCH HAS GROWN IN LEAPS AND BOUNDS WITH TENS OF THOUSANDS ATTENDING A SINGLE SERVICE

NEVER BEFORE HAD EUROPE WITNESSED THIS GOD-ORDAINED, NIGERIAN-PROMOTED PHENOMENON

 PASTOR SUNDAY PREACHES AND TEACHES WITH CHRIST-LIKE CHARISMA AND APTITUDE 

 THE BANNERS OF NATIONS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TOGETHER UNDER THE OVERSEERSHIP OF PASTOR ADELAJA 

Twenty two odd years ago,  a young Nigerian sojourning in a foreign land, Ukraine precisely, embarked on the execution of a God-ordained vision to help transform a nation just emerging from the largely atheistic Soviet Union to a vibrant, God-like, Christian nation. It was a grand vision for a young, impressionable "foreigner" in a country where English, his own nation's lingua franca was not even the national language and was scarcely spoken. 

The odds were immense but in the true Nigerian never-say-die spirit, Sunday Adelaja challenged the odd, guided by the unction of God and, today, that tiny seed has grown to become the largest and fastest growing church in Europe.

PASTOR ADELAJA HAS TRANSFORMED MANY LIVES REGARDLESS OF RACE OR COLOUR, THEREBY PROMOTING THE FACT THAT BEFORE GOD, THERE IS NEITHER JEW NOR GENTILE

Nigerians are generally a nice, hard working, resilient and ambitious people. Everywhere we go and in every venture we embark upon,  we love to excel. We love to win and in the past,  this never-say-die spirit has earned huge respect for our nation. In recent years, however, due to the unscrupulous and dishonest acts of a tiny few, especially the get-rich-quick lazy drones such as drug traffickers, money launderers, advance fee fraudsters and corrupt politicians whose acts of infamy have had serious negative impact on the life of their fellow citizens and those of other nations, our national image has been so battered that many innocent Nigerians are made to suffer untold ordeal outside Nigeria.

Then came blessed souls like Pastor Sunday as he is fondly addressed. Through the seed of faith he planted in far away Ukraine in 1994, and the mushrooming of the church from humble beginnings to an international Christian sensation, a great boost has been given to the promotion of everything that is good and enviable about Nigeria. Whenever you travel to Europe now, people who have been so inspired and whose life has been impacted up  by Pastor Adelaja tend to think twice before they stereotype or malign Nigerians. It was the extent of the power of one over years of mal-adventure by others.

Through his faith, resilience and obedience to the call of God, Sunday Adelaja has not only impacted on his nation Nigeria, he has helped transformed his adopted nation of Ukraine. Hundreds of thousands of lives have been renewed and redirected on the path of grace and the nation of Ukraine has never hesitated to show its gratitude.

It is in recognition of Pastor Adelaja's leadership,  vision and patriotism that we are bringing you this tribute and we hope you enjoy the sights and words from Ukraine, a nation lifted high by God through the ministry of a ..... wait.... NIGERIAN PATRIOT. 

Please find below, excerpts from the church's website, detailing its recent change of name, history and mission, including a short biography of Pastor Adelaja. We shall also dish you with an insight into the family of Pastor Adelaja as they bond so beautifully in the service of the Lord.

AND THE CHURCH  SAYS:

God has given this church a new name - "The Embassy of the Blessed Kingdom of God for All Nations".

God desires to reveal Himself to people and to establish His Kingdom on earth in order to change everybody’s life for the better. But He always starts with small things.

That’s why on February 6, 1994, seven people got together in one apartment in Kiev to worship the Lord and to know His Word. They didn’t even have an idea that they were laying the foundation for one of the biggest churches in Europe.

This was the beginning of the Word of Faith Church, which in ten years would have about 20,000 members and more than one million people receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

On September 12, 1994 the church was officially registered at Kiev City Administration.

God has a big vision for His church: from growing a strong church with thousands of members out of a handful of people who will take the Gospel into all the world (primarily into China and Arab countries) and will make all nations disciples of Jesus Christ, establishing His Kingdom on the Earth.

God found a man with the potential for making this church’s vision a reality. He called Sunday Adelaja from Nigeria to serve Him in Ukraine. Right now Pastor Sunday has an international apostolic ministry, helping plant new Christian churches in Ukraine and other countries as well.

WHO IS SUNDAY ADELAJA?

(AS CULLED FROM THE CHURCH'S WEBSITE)

Sunday Adelaja is the founder and senior pastor of the Embassy of the Blessed Kingdom of God for all Nations. Though still young, he has attained a high level of ministry that many follow as an example. He is first and foremost a dedicated and passionate Christian, who seeks to follow God and complete everything that God has spoken to him. This passion and dedication spills over into the leaders under him and onto the members of the church.

Pastor Sunday, as he is called by the members of the church, has an international ministry that reaches to over 30 countries, including the USA, Canada, England, Germany, Russia, Singapore, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, Holland, Indonesia, Spain, South Africa, Latvia, Israel, Sweden, Estonia, Norway, S. Korea, Kyrgyzstan, Denmark, and many others. He speaks in many city, state, region, and country-wide conferences, sharing the Word of encouragement and instruction that the Lord has given him.

Pastor Sunday is used mightily in prophetic and evangelistic gifts around the world. God’s gift of healing flows through Pastor Sunday and countless people have been healed, restored and set free by his ministry.

Pastor Sunday is not only an international speaker and pastor of the largest church in Europe, but he is also a loving husband to Bose Adelaja and the responsible and happy father of three children – a son, Perez, and two daughters, Zoe and Pearl. Pastor Bose Adelaja is a fitting helpmeet for Pastor Sunday and their gifts and callings complement each other perfectly. Whenever possible, Pastor Sunday travels with his wife and children.

INTRODUCING ADEBISI AYOBAMI TOLUWALOPE QWINLIZ, LAW STUDENT AND YOUTH ENTREPRENEUR MAKING WAVES AT OBAFEMI AWOLOWO UNIVERSITY

BEHOLD OUR CAMPUS FACE OF THE WEEK!!!!

Talk of catching them young. That is exactly our aim as we introduce this week, one of the promising stars of tomorrow, ADEBISI QWINLIZ, the very brilliant and business savvy youngster who is sending the signals that a great lawyer and future entrepreneur is in the making.

ADEBISI, THE CUTE AND DELECTABLE  BEAUTY AND BRAIN

BISI SEEMS TO BE SAYING TO THE WORLD, "WHAT'S THE ESSENCE OF A BEAUTIFUL FACE WITHOUT A BRAIN BEHIND IT?" OUR CAMPUS FACE OF THE WEEK HAS GOT IT ALL.

Investigations by our Campus correspondent in Ile-Ife showed that Bisi is one student already imbued with a sense of mission even at her age. Despite being a brilliant law student, she has a modelling and ushering outfit that is being patronized for posh parties around Ife and environs.  Her resourcefulness, industry and commitment is being used by the Lagosian to inspire our young men and women to take the bull of the future by the horn today. With students like ADEBISI QWINLIZ,  the sky is the limit and the future is bright indeed. We wish ADEBISI a great future and successful completion of her Law Course at Obafemi Awolowo University.

BISI ALL READY FOR A DAY'S LECTURES

And in appreciation of her enterprise, we hereby support her initiative by showcasing to the world QWINLIZ EVENTS CONCEPT, Adebisi's business concern. The Lagosian urges our readers to patronize this young entrepreneur who has chosen to be a big difference in a world of directionless youths.

BREAKING!!! POPULAR "IYAWO ASIKO" SINGER NOMORELOSS DIES IN LAGOS

Death, like a mighty sledgehammer to the heart once again hit the Nigerian entertainment scene with the untimely death of Olumuyiwa Osinuga, the singer popularly known as Nomolos (Nomoreloss).

The musician was said to have been ill for some time before finally succumbing to the cold hands of death. Sad one indeed.

THE UNITY OF THE YORUBA NATION IN FOCUS AS GOVERNOR AKINWUNMI AMBODE HOSTS THE OLU OF WARRI IN LAGOS

AS THE OLU OF WARRI VISITS GOVERNOR AKINWUNMI AMBODE OF LAGOS STATE

AMBODE HARPS ON HARMONIOUS CO-EXISTENCE AMONG ETHNIC NATIONALITIES

…Says Peace Remains Only Panacea For Development

...Yorubas, Itsekiris Are Brothers, Says Olu of Warri

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode on Monday emphasized the need for the ethnic nationalities in the country to live harmoniously, just as he said that such was the condition-precedent for peace, progress and development to thrive.

Governor Ambode, who spoke at the Lagos House, Ikeja while receiving the Olu of Warri, HRM King Godfrey Ikenwoli Emiko, Ogiame Ikenwoli 1, who paid him a courtesy visit, said the quantum of development which the nation would experience in a harmonious and peaceful environment cannot be underestimated, and therefore all hands must be on deck to promote peace.    

The Governor recalled that the history of the Yoruba nation cannot be complete without reference to the Itsekiri nation, and as such, both tribes must jealously guard and improve on the historical relationship.

The Governor, who congratulated King Emiko on the successful ascension to the throne of his fore-fathers few months back, said he believed so much in the ability of the monarch to turn around the fortunes of Warri for good as he had been doing even before his appointment as king.

Governor Ambode also assured the monarch of the strong commitment of his administration to the welfare of the Itsekiris in Lagos.

The Governor said: “We believe so much in him (King Emiko) and his community; we believe just the way he has said that we are brothers and that anything that concerns the Warri community is the concern of the Yoruba community and like he rightly said, this visit once again emphasized the need for all of us to foster peace and harmonious relationship together.

“We are strongly committed to the needs of the people of Itsekiri land because we know that by history, the coming of Olu of Warri to Lagos from Ile-Ife is significant to show the Yoruba hegemony that we have always wanted and we will continue to preach about.

“There is nothing we want to say about the history or the story of Yoruba nation that we can afford to leave out the Itsekiri. If you look at the name of our titles, our languages and our culture, you will obviously find out that there is a symbiotic relationship between us which we must guard jealously and also improve upon as we proceed,” Governor Ambode said.

He also prayed for the monarch that his reign would bring about greater prosperity and peace to Warri land.

Earlier, King Emiko said he was happy to be at the Lagos House because his visit was a home coming experience for him.

He thanked Governor Ambode for identifying with the people of Warri during the mourning period of the late monarch and during his coronation service three months ago.

He said: “I came in from Ile-Ife to this place and the way the Ooni of Ife received myself and my entourage confirmed the fact that we are from the same heritage. As a matter of fact, I had the honour to first receive and bless his new wife and when I got to the palace of Oba of Lagos this morning, the reception too was like home coming.

“The Oba of Lagos left his throne and sat with me and this is just a confirmation that we are brothers that must not be separated. I’m happy sitting with the Governor as a member of the same family.

“My appeal is that we are part of you not minding the geographical distance. There are lots of Itsekiris in Lagos and there are lots of Yorubas in Warri. I want such relationship to continue and pray that we should sustain it,” the monarch counseled.

THE OGUNWUSIS OF ILE IFE SHAME DETRACTORS AS FAMILY HOLDS GET-TOGETHER IN OONI OJAJA'S BROTHER'S HOME

Contrary to the insinuation in certain quarters, the family of His Majesty, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, OJAJA II remains solidly united. Following the choice of 41 years old Adeyeye over his older brother,  tongues wagged that this clearly unanimous and rancor-free choice was opposed by some members of the king's family. Recent events and the efforts of the family in standing behind the hugely popular king have however been so glaring that even the die hard critics must go silent.

The Lagosian brings you pictures corroborating the fact that the Ooni is not only supported by his family. They are his greatest fans. Enjoy.
