According to him, just like his wife said in an interview that her husband predicted he will cause commotion soon, indeed he has, but the world is just yet to witness it.
Read his experience below:
Ever since the late Prophet Ireti Ajanaku died, the scandal-ridden
church (Christ Revival Victory International) which is now run by his
wife, Joy Ajanaku, has been in the news for several reasons.
Recently, self proclaimed messiah, Sat Guru Maharaj Ji claimed in an interview
that the late pastor might still be alive if he had been more
respectful towards him, while his wife was recently reported to have
declared that her husband is still alive, albeit, inside her.
With such an interesting series of events and stories surrounding
the Ajanaku ministry, it was only proper to pay a visit to the church
for a Sunday service.
On February 9, 2014, I arrived midway into the service, whilst the
sermon, 'sexual curse' was being preached. The presiding pastor of the
100+ congregation was the wife of the late founder.
The ambience was calm as the members all listened attentively,
while some dozed off. Women seemed to be in charge of more than a chunk
of church activities, as men workers were evidently outnumbered.
Initially, I thought it was probably the Sunday school bible study
that was going on, considering the fact that a fifth of the available
chairs were unoccupied. Upon inquiring from an elderly lady by my right,
I was told it was the service proper.
I then wondered what the Pastor Joy meant when she told City People
that her husband in his lifetime predicted that people will come
surging to his ministry after his death. She told the magazine, 'Even
before this death rumour, I remembered he told the large congregation
that he will cause commotion and the whole world will come to look for
him.'
From the observed attendance rate, maybe the commotion hasn't
started, or rather, maybe the world hasn't realised the man has died.
After the engaging sermon which had the scanty audience engrossed,
different groups of people were called out to kneel down for brief
prayer sessions, while the standby cameraman filmed proceedings.
Once the service climaxed and the crowd that wanted to see the
pastor reduced, I located the head usher and intimated of him of my
intention to conduct an interview with Mrs Joy, but I was denied the
request. He said with a note of finality that 'Mummy won't be talking to
journalists any more.'
Sensing a lost war, I decided against attempting to convince him to grant me access.
As I walked out of the church, I felt a hasty footstep behind me,
which turned out to be a worker who craved anonymity. She had witnessed
my conversation with the head usher and rushed after me to explain why
they wouldn't let me speak to 'Madam'.
She said, 'The reason why they won't let you see her is because
journalists keep misinterpreting her comments. Everybody keeps spreading
false stories about us and we have decided to keep to ourselves.'
'Even if we're doing something evil, People should leave us alone to God's judgement.'
'By the way, what she meant by saying her husband is still alive is
that he is alive inside her and his power and anointing will continue
to manifest through her,' she concluded.
I shook off my earlier feeling of discontent, thanked her,
exchanged contacts, and made my way out of the premises to begin my
journey back to whence I came from, in search of a better understanding
of the Ajanaku debacle.
Indeed, the late Prophet is causing commotion, but the world still hasn't come to witness it yet.Prophet Ireti Ijanaku, the late General Overseer of Christ Revival Victory Chapel International who was also Gospel singer, Tope Alabi's spiritual father died in August 2013after a brief illness in his country home in Gbongan, Osun State.
