NIGERIANS SHOULD HOLD UNTO GOD – Bishop Isaac Idahosa
Bishop Isaac Idahosa is the General Overseer of the God First Ministry, Illumination Assembly, Lekki, Ajah. In this interview with VICTOR UDOH, he speaks about national issues and life after 53. Excerpts:
As one of the clerics that are much concern about the affairs of the country, could you share your take on the current state of the country?
I believe that there is light after the tunnel; any good thing takes time to mature. I want to assure Nigerians that we are on the right path. I know that a lot of people have been clamouring for a whole lot, because their patient had been exhausted. I urge Nigerians to hold unto God and believe in the normal tenacity as a nation, because we have no other country than Nigeria. The Bible says support the authority; pray for the peace and uncommon wisdom of those who are in the authority so that we might have peaceful and quite life. We cannot do without challenges; it is no news that the country had been faced with several challenges in the last few months. There are traumas everywhere. People are complaining about the current hardship, but we must look beyond that and see what is about to happen. He must all hope for the best and have faith in God that the country will become better. If we believe in the common good of this country and disallow what disunite us and always be interested to the things that will bring us together in order to move forward.
Do you think the church is playing its role enough for the peace of the nation?
We are not just the light of the church, but the light of the world. The Bible says: “…and the life was the light of men and the light shine in darkness and darkness could not comprehend it” the church is the light; the more the light shines the brightest it would be from the base. We are not only the salt of the church, but the salt of the earth. For preservation and sweetness, so the church in her proper place should bring about the prayers of preservation and fulfillment of Nigeria’s prophetic destiny.
Congratulations on your 53rd birthday. Could you recall your greatest challenge in life?
The journey of life and that of the ministry has been interesting. So far challenges has make us more thick and brought us this far. Problems are attitudinal. Anyone that wants to be successful in life must have some challenges, but these challenges are not meant to mar you, rather make you depending on how one see the challenges. Personally, I thank for God for everything that has happened to me in life. It has not been easy, but God has been faithful in all ramifications. This is one of the reasons I gathered family, friends and associate to celebrate God with me on my 53rdbirthday thanksgiving service last Sunday. I cannot thank God enough for my life, because His works are unquantifiable. It is a great privilege to 53 and His grace and faithfulness endears me to return all the glory back to Him.
The next national election is gathering momentum, as a cleric, what is your perception of Christians in active politics?
Things are changing; Christians are getting more involved because of the sensitization. The awareness has increased and we clerics have been advising members to get involved. The truth is that evil will thrive when good men do nothing. If you think you are good to change the system; you cannot do that from a distance, you have to be involved in the system. Light doesn’t fight, it dominates. The involvement is tied to the awareness. It is a good thing that the awareness has increased and the impact will be found and felt in the 2019 election.
You hinted that you will pay a condolence visit to the Benue State soon over the death people killed by herdsmen recently, why?
We will connect with the authority of the state very soon informing them on our intention to come and render our prayers and gesture to assist the bereaved. I am so glad for some State governors who taken a point of duty to visit the state. For me, it doesn’t matter who gets down our hurt. Once one is down we are all down. Not minding where we come from; we must all come together and ensure Benue State stands on her feet. Nigeria will move faster if we don’t mind who takes the credit. We must be our brother’s keeper. So, once we connect with the government we will go and pay a condolence visit to the state.
How have you been able to impact lives through the Isaac Idaosha Foundation?
The initiative is targeted at impacting lives positively and we have been doing this for quite some time. It is also a platform raise the hopes of the voiceless. God has manifested Himself though the foundation, because we have been able to assist people in different capacity, such as scholarships to people and ensuring widows and widowers find their feet. We thank God that the light we have been able to show through the foundation has become a brighter light for people.
Aside being a cleric you are also into music. How have you been able to combine the two without clash?
I am a crude oil and you can use it for anything. I am a man who is so endowed with so many abilities. Meanwhile, the two are intertwined. I love music and it has really inspired my life.
Would you say that you have achieved your dream at 53?
I would have been raptured if I have achieved my dreams. Nobody achieves his dreams. We can only be progressive, because doesn’t show one everything; He shows one step by step and one of the keys to my success is attaining to hearing voice of God and doing His will. So, I have not achieved my dream yet. What I do is to forget about the past and move ahead and believing God for improvement. I am still learning, because you die the day you stop learning.
What is your greatest challenge?
It is when I couldn’t believe God for certain situations in my life and each time I disobeyed God I paid dearly for it. My life is galvanised by ministry. When God is involved the devil can only revolve, but not dissolve it. Ministry has been fun, because I have allowed the Holy Spirit to paddle the course. Also, the challenges make us. If you are not called by God you pay your bills, but if it is God’s project then it His budget. Personally, I am enjoying early satisfaction in life, because I am a product of grace and mercy of God. I feel humble for where I am today, because God brought me from nothing.

Prophet Israel Oladele’s Genesis Global 2025 Harvest of New Dimension seeks to empower 5,000 widows and widowers in Lagos
Prophet Israel Oladele’s Genesis Global 2025 Harvest of New Dimension seeks to empower 5,000 widows and widowers in Lagos
…Hallel Night of Praise comes with high expectations.
The Genesis Global Harvest of New Dimension has arrived. There remains something exceptional and distinctive about the life of this esteemed man of God, Genesis, whose generosity and concern for welfare have set him apart and made him stand out among his peers.
Some may suggest that this is no longer news, as they might perceive it as an annual routine; however, it’s breaking news at our disposal because this year’s harvest of new Dimension is already causing some individuals to think in suspense due to the massive preparation becoming mind-blowing and creating a climax atmosphere.
It is undeniable that Prophet Israel Oladele Ogundipe, fondly referred to as Genesis, hosts an annual Adults Harvest that has become a prominent event, characterized by numerous funfairs and jamborees from the Friday Hallel Night of Praise to the Sunday Harvest of New Dimension Thanksgiving.
Evidently, no harvest has ever been planned in this manner in the history of the CCC Lagos chapter, as Prophet Israel Oladele Ogundipe has redefined and transformed the doctrine of harvest of CCC through his divine wisdom with his Genesis Global family.
As of the time of filing this report, Prophet Genesis’ media aide, Oluwaseun Fabiyi, has confirmed that all hotels within the Dalemo, Alakuko, Abule Egba to Sango Otta axis have been fully booked due to the arrival of dignitaries from the United States of America, the United Kingdom, France, Israel, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ondo, Ekiti, Kano, and Kaduna, who have come to celebrate with the prophet of God, resulting in potential difficulties for Lagosians seeking hotel accommodations.
A glimpse from the 2024 Hallel Night of Praise, which suddenly became the talk of the town when Prophet Genesis rode a decorated horse from backstage to the edifice altar, changing the atmosphere and shocking many attendees with this experience reminiscent of Lord Jesus Christ’s ride on a donkey, demonstrating Prophet Genesis’ divine wisdom in incorporating innovative elements into Genesis Global programs.
The 2025 Hallel Night of Praise, slated for Friday, 19 December 2025, at Genesis Global City, Dalemo Alakuko, off Duro Ishola Street, Lagos, is highly anticipated by many.Hallel Night of Praise is a specially designed evening of worship, created to complement the adult harvest, providing an opportunity for thanksgiving and heartfelt praise to God Almighty, who values and responds to fervent and sincere prayers – a fundamental principle that has fostered prayer answers, church growth, and expansion within the Genesis Global community.
Get ready for a night of unbridled praise and worship as Hallel Night of Praise brings together a stellar lineup of gospel artists, featuring the host, Genesis Global Choir, Elijah Daniels, Oyinkansola, Tobi Akuraku, CCioma, Erniola Olusoga, Minister Olalekan, Dare Oxygen, Titilayo Euba, and other anointed ministers of God, all set to create a night of open heavens and intense praise, kicking off at 8pm and going through until dawn.
Prior to this event and as part of this special 2025 harvest of a new dimension, Saturday, the 20th has been designated for Genesis Global Foundation empowerment, where thousands of widows, widowers, elderly men, and women will be empowered by the prophet of God through the Genesis Global Foundation.
The grand finale, taking place on Sunday, 21 December 2025, will be a special Sunday of new dimension harvest of thanksgiving, beginning at 9am promptly with various spiritual activities and prophetic declarations.
A statement from Prophet Israel Genesis’ media aide, Oluwaseun Fabiyi, confirmed that the harvest committee has made comprehensive arrangements to cater to the needs of all international dignitaries and attendees, with the welfare of individuals being paramount, alongside provisions for maximum security within Genesis Global City and its surroundings. In addition, this power pack program will feature an awards and recognition segment, where the elderly and widows, and widowers will receive cash grants and food items, and others will receive food items to celebrate Christmas and the New Year.
The statement cited Prophet Genesis, who articulated that the motivation behind this initiative is to empower a multitude of vulnerable individuals without the means to participate in the celebration of Jesus Christ’s birth, while also ensuring their basic needs are met.
According to Prophet Israel Oladele Ogundipe, also known as Genesis, in a statement to his media aide, Oluwaseun Fabiyi, the Genesis Global Church Annual Harvest is a time for people to express gratitude to God for a fruitful year at Genesis Global City, and also a time for people to experience God’s power, as testified by previous celebrations.
He further encourages individuals to experience the transformative power of God, as past events have demonstrated that it is an opportunity not only to celebrate but also to witness breakthroughs, divine encounters, and new opportunities. Save the date for the Hallel Night of Praise, from Friday, 19th to Sunday, 21st December 2025.
Why I took a break from music— Denny Zee
Upwardly mobile afrobeats sensation, Denny Zee has explained the reason behind his short break from the music scene. For almost two years, the Epe, Lagos born singer, songwriter and producer had been off the scene, but he’s currently back with a new cut titled ‘Werk’.
Denny Zee described ‘Werk’ as a piece of art that will surpass the records of his previous hits -‘Joh’, ‘Bana,’ and ‘Tender’.
Formerly signed to Nuul Gang, a Sweden-based record label owned by an international DJ, Denny Zee’s career took on a global outlook through collaborations and international releases that expanded his artistic reach.
”I took the short break to strategize, and now I’m stepping into a new era of rebranding, redefining my identity and sound. My upcoming projects — including new singles and a highly anticipated EP — promises a richer, bolder expression of my message: joy, hustle, struggle, resilience, and the unapologetic pursuit of dreams, wrapped in the allure of a confident, charismatic artist who isn’t afraid to show both his strength and sensuality,” Denny Zee said.
He added that “I’m presently standing at the intersection of soul and sound — a singer, songwriter, and producer shaping the next wave of Afro music with authenticity, creativity, and unshakable drive. Open to collaboration and new sonic adventures. I’m not just chasing success, I’m building a legacy, one record at a time.”
Raised in the heart of Lagos, Denny Zee’s journey began as a young dreamer determined to channel the storm inside him. With the support of his musically inclined brothers, he found direction and discipline, transforming raw passion into a craft. What started in local studios has since grown into an artistic identity that bridges continents and generations.
Denny Zee’s sound is an intoxicating blend of Afrobeat, Afrofusion, Afroswing, and Reggaeton, laced with R&B and Soul. It’s music that grooves and moves, but also speaks — balancing rhythm with reflection. His influences — Fela Kuti, Shabba Ranks, Sean Paul, Wande Coal, Burna Boy, and Wizkid — helped shape his sound, but his individuality gives it a modern heartbeat uniquely his.
As both a songwriter and producer, Denny Zee’s artistry goes beyond his own discography. He has written and produced numerous songs, collaborating with major artists including Rude Boy of the legendary P-Square duo and the Afrobeat duo Bracket, among others. His creative fingerprint runs deep across the industry — blending storytelling, melody, and emotion with precision and authenticity.
