SHOCKER: Rev Omolehin Says Adeboye, Kumuyi, Olukoya Not “Fathers of All Christians”

April 18, 2026 Mcebisco Latest News

Founder of The Word Assembly Churches, Rev. Isaac Omolehin, has said that Christianity in Nigeria does not have a single unifying father figure, arguing that prominent church leaders operate largely as heads of their respective denominations.

Omolehin made the assertion in a sermon shared on the official YouTube channel of his church on Wednesday, a clip of which has since gone viral on social media.

According to him, while several church leaders are widely respected, none of them can be described as the father of all Christians in the country. 

“I would hear fathers and I ask myself, which father? Nigerian Christianity has no father. Nigerian Christianity has no father. One young man was speaking so intensely recently about our fathers and mentioning that our fathers should speak out. Our fathers should speak out. What is happening? Yeah, I think our fathers should speak out. That Baba Adeboye should speak out.

“He was mentioning fathers. And I was asking myself, are these fathers of Christianity in Nigeria? Without sounding disrespectful? These are denominational leaders. Christianity in Nigeria has no father,” he said. 

He argued that a true spiritual father should be one who provides oversight for all Christians regardless of denomination, rather than focusing on institutional expansion or competition.

“A father would be somebody who looks after us all. Not just promoting the denominational agenda and the competition of how I’m building one mile auditorium. Then another one is trying to build two miles.

“One has one aircraft, another one wants to have three. The rivalry, the competition has no spiritual content,” he added.

The cleric referenced some prominent church leaders, including the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye; Deeper Life Bible Church founder, Pastor William Kumuyi; and Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries founder, Dr Daniel Olukoya.

He stressed that their influence remains within their respective ministries.

The cleric said, “Don’t get me wrong. Baba Adeboye is a very successful, respected man of God. But he’s in Redeemed. Kumuyi is in Deeper Life. Olukoya is in MFM. Does Olukoya know what is happening to a certain brother that is in Seventh-day Adventist? Does Kumuyi know what is happening to a person that is in Jehovah’s Witness? But these are also christains.”

Omolehin maintained that a true father in the Christian faith must transcend denominational boundaries and represent all believers.

“The person who will be our father cannot be denominational. He must remove himself from denominational extremism and be the father of all — Roman Catholic, Anglican, Methodist, Apostolic, and others,” he said.

He further lamented the absence of such a figure, saying it has limited the ability of the Christian community in Nigeria to speak with one voice on critical issues.

“Right now, Christianity in Nigeria has no father, and that is why nobody is speaking for all. We only have denominational fathers, not fathers of all.

“They are not father of all. Who will be our father must be the father of those who are in Roman Catholic. Be the father of those who are in Methodist.

“Be the father of those who are in Anglican. Be the father of those who are in Apostolic. Be the father of everybody because we are going to the same heaven,” he added.

Omolehin concluded by stressing that denominational divisions hold no relevance in eternity, urging greater unity among Christians.
