Idowu Iluyomade resigns pastoral appointment with RCCG

Pastor Idowu Iluyomade, a former senior pastor the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, City of David Parish, Region 20, has resigned his appointment with the church.

Iluyomade was until last week, the pastor of the hugely successful branch until he got transferred to the Throne of Grace branch, Ebute Metta, Lagos, which serves as the headquarter of the mission, by the church leadership.

He was expected to take charge at his new station where he will serve as the Pastor-in-Charge of elders.

The former Pastor in-charge of RCCG Resurrection Parish of Region 11, Pastor Charles Kpandei has since been seconded to the City of David Parish to take over from Iluyomade.

Ironically, Kpandei preached at the combined Service of Songs held on March 7, 2024 at the RCCG Resurrection Parish, Lekki, Lagos State for the late Wigwes.

The transfer however didn’t go down well with Iluyomade and his wife, Siju, both of who were conspicuously absent during church service this past Sunday when his transfer was announced, hence his decision to pull out of the RCCG family.

Reliable sources reveal that he turned in his resignation on Tuesday, June 4, 2024.

Iluyomade’s transfer may not be unconnected to obscene and lavish 60th birthday of his wife threw on February 18, 2024.

The birthday party which had all the trappings of luxury held at the Eko Hotels & Suites in Lagos with highlife, sensual singer, Chinedu Okoli aka Flavour leading the pack of singers who serenaded guests at the party which included Tony Elumelu, the chairman of United Bank for Africa, UBA; Nneka Onyeali Ikpe, the managing director of Fidelity Bank; Oba Ghandi Olaoye, the Soun of Ogbomoso who was a former RCCG pastor, among several other prominent guests.

A cross section of Nigerians thought it was insensitive for the Iluyomades to throw such a party particularly when it was just too soon after Herbert Wigwe, founding CEO of Access Holdings Plc, his wife, Chizoba and son died in a helicopter crash in the US on February 9.

Wigwe was a prominent member of the church and one of the church’s financiers.

This act of insensitivity prompted the Wigwe family to distance themselves from the Iluyomades and the City of David branch. Moreso because despite the General Overseer of the church, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adegboyega personally paying the mourning family a condolence visit, the Iluyomades couldn’t care less.

The Iluyomades have remained silent as events unfold just as they have kept their next plan close to their chest.

Who go happy when his/her/them/they source of income is cut short?

Hmm!

Next move is to float his own mega church like Ituah Ighodalo

This man should go further and convert that VI church into his own ministry. Redeem likes to use and dump. Oga no gree for them o

In the pastor's mind the Wigwes didn't have enough anointing, or they were not just having enough grace like him and his beautiful 60yr old wife, otherwise they shouldn't have perished like that. That's why they had no empathy to feel for the Wigwes. The moment you meet anyone that thinks they have a special sort of grace on their head, remind the dullard that they will never have half the grace of Myles Munroe and yet he perished like the Wigwes. The worst foooolishness is self delusion

.

Next is Japa to America with his family

Agbado and corruption dey like bread and tea

Politics in church is more political than politics in government

These gods of men, glad he was visited with the consequences of their selfishness. And this is what most of these pastors are these days -only really caring for themselves

E don happen

lol

People would say he prospered the parish under the grace of the GO . However, they must be something in him that attracts super rich people.
Someone that has dined and wine with mighty of the society is not just an everyday guy. He is not a push over.
Envy is the bedrock of this backlash. So many woujd want that position but very few can sustain it .
May God not let us build for another to occupy.

Nothing surprising here... Church na business.

Na only mugu dey argue am.

Christianity and her Pastors are very funny.

God calls a Pastor in a ministry and the Pastor is attached to a church. Pastor faces disciplinary actions and then resigns God's calling. How are we certain God called these Pastors before?

Wow

Pastorpreneurs.

The man exposed the fact that these pastors are stinkingly rich.

Whereas redeem wants to continue giving the impression that their pastors are peasants like most of their followers.

Obviously, what the man did is bad for the pastorpreneurship business.

I just pity the poor folks who still take these god-of-men seriously.

May the universe be praised...

Church business in Nigeria is hollow and doing ill to Nigerians. We are how events would unfold. Insensitive people everywhere!

Retired pastor ke? No be God call am?

Someone was trying to justify that preparation for the party has long been in motion before the Wigwe's demise and lots if money was already spent.
But why invite flavor? As a senior pastor why flavor? Wetin do Dunsin, frank, tope alabi Or even Sunny Ade?
It was just a show of gross insensitivity

Business center transactions

Everyone wants to become the leader not knowing that some are meant to serve and some to be served in the vineyard.......

Lack of submission to authority
Heaven doesn't allow hypocrisy
So many cases to answer on the
judgement day, no appeal no

RCCG WILL JUST USED YOU AND DUMP
