•Explains Why His Church Is Different
+Why He Does Not Comply With Some Cele Doctrines
On Sunday, 15th December, 2019, Genesis Global, the popular Celestial Church of Christ, situated at 8/12, DuroIshola Street, Off Egbado Road, Dalemo Alakuko, Lagos State had its annual Anniversary, tagged “Celebration of Harvest 2019” with the theme “MASSIVE MERCY”.
The event was a big carnival, as over 7000 worshippers gathered to worship God in Truth and in Holiness. The whole Church building, the Church Street and the newly acquired 2 acres of land belonging to the church were filled to the brim, with church members and guests.
Genesis Pastor, Israel Oladele Ogundipe is highly connected and that confirms why several dignitaries from all walks of life stormed Genesis Global Church on this fateful day.
The big news was the presence of King of Fuji Music, Alhaji Wasiu Ayinde (K1) a staunch Muslim, at the Church.
Before that day, though there were several videos online, showing K1 confirming his appearance at Genesis come 15th Dec, 2019, many didn’t believe he would come, because of his Muslim belief. Lo and behold, he came. He was there live and direct.
It was the sound of drums by the Church band boys, from outside, that announced the arrival of the Oluaye of Fuji, who came in the company of his management and band boys. When he entered the church auditorium, it became a rowdy sesson; as everyone struggled to catch a glimpse of the super star, to the extent that DIG Abdul Majeed Aliyu, who was at that time addressing the congregation before K1’s arrival, had to pause for a while.
It was as if K1 was already used to the mode of operation of the Celestial Church of Christ, going by the way he composed himself. He had wanted to sit beside CSP Dolapo Badmos, but he was directed to a seat prepared for him in front of the church choir.
The convener of the event, Genesis Pastor, Israel Oladele Ogundele, spoke about the love he has for the Fuji King, and how his mother played a vital role in making him fall in love with K1 right from his tender age. ”The love I have for King Wasiu Ayinde is enormous. It started when I was a teenager. It was my mum that made me love King Wasiu Ayinde, and I am not going to change my mind about liking him. I don’t pretend and I don’t deceive myself. I like Wasiu Ayinde. When he sang “Talazo Disco”, my mother would be listening to Wasiu Ayinde, whenever she’s watching King Wasiu Ayinde, she would lay one hand on the television and lay the other hand on me, and she would be praying, that as this Wasiu Ayinde is successful, you too will be successful. This Wasiu Ayinde would not fall; you my own Wasiu too won’t fall”. This Wasiu Ayinde will not die, this my own Wasiu to will not there. My mother never meet King Wasiu Ayinde before she was praying for him, connecting us together spiritually. When I met King Wasiu Ayinde and he told me Dele, I’ve been watching and hearing a lot about you, prepare for me, I will be at your harvest on the 15th. I felt so elated. I had to change all our sound systems because I want him to enjoy the sound when he sings. So, if you are a Pastor and you are forming, you better stop. Stop pretending and be real. You better let people know who you are. You better let them know where you are coming from. You better let them know where you are going”.
After his speech, Prophet Israel Oladele seized that beautiful moment to officially introduce K1 to his mother. After the introduction, K1 was invited to sing. Like a typical church member, he moved from his seat to the Church prayer altar, where he knelt down and prayed for about 2mins. After the prayer, he took his time to greet all the Elders and officiating ministers’ one after the other before he started his performance which lasted for more than 30minutes.
There is no amount of words to qualify the joy that was boldly written on the face of both the Genesis Pastor and K1.
