Prophet Israel Oladele Ogundipe, Shepherd In Charge Of Genesis Global I Know
Prophet Israel Oladele Ogundipe, Shepherd In Charge Of Genesis Global I Know
~By Oluwaseun Fabiyi
Prophet Israel Oladele Ogundipe is a very interesting person anytime. Passionate about winning souls and celebrating people, Genesis as he’s fondly called is unstoppable man of God. Known around the globe for his gift of authentic prophecy, popular Prophet Israel Oladele Ogundipe is a force to reckon with in the Christian- dom. My closeness to him and again as his media aide, I can attest to the fact that this easygoing, gentle man of God never enjoyed the silver spoon as a growing child, he wanted to become a medical doctor or a pen pusher, today he can easily and boldly say he’s a doctor by honorarium, and a good writer considering the many articles and literature he has put together, yet, God has used him today to touch a lot of lives as all he’s interested in is raising people of great value.
In Genesis Global Church, Prophet Israel Oladele is known to raise people of value, though they might not too spiritual or churchous but what has really sold Genesis out is the gift of prophecy that God has deposited in him. Guess you know? What has kept him going is the miracle without stress or without barbaric activities, and without outdated strategist has been the real reason behind this glowing in Christen-dom. Less I forget this; creativity is another thing God has endowed him with, after revealing things about people’s lives and activities to them, he will then ask God what they should do or steps to follow in order to get a positive results. As far as I’m pretty concerned, there are lot of activities going on at Genesis Global Church that is not common in other white garment Churches, for instance, Prophet Israel Oladele Ogundipe once purchased over 100 WAEC forms and brought to Church for the successful students to enroll and write exam as he sees Genesis Global Church is a quick transformation of life style.
One thing I also noticed/observed in Genesis Global Church is that, there’s no way you will be a true member of the Church that your life will not change for the best. You may not be extremely rich, but you will be comfortable, be glad and happy with your finances as God will surely bless your ways among your peers outside, the money may not come statically as expected, but you will enjoy absolute peace in all your endeavours. Again, guess you can noticed that Genesis’s preaching are not too difficult on the members because he is just too natural in all his teachings as he resisted polygamy in the Church. Readers should please quote me right and never you read out of context sirs, mas, I’m not saying Polygamist will not make heaven, as Genesis Global Church always encourage the congregants, people to be their best in everything. Prophet Israel the shepherd in charge Genesis Global Church do a lots of programs such as Worksop, training, seminars on crucial issues like talking about sex. All the above mentioned effective programs is what some regular white garment would want to avoid for the reasons best known to them. Again, what I also know about Genesis Global Church and Prophet Israel Oladele Ogundipe takes marriage very seriously and everything that will keep marriage intact is never neglected.
Above all at Genesis Global Church, their activities goes beyond praying all-through. No wonder members irrespective of anything or barriers they might been experiencing, they are always thirsty of coming to the church, also attending Genesis Global Church programs real reasons their slogan sound better “Unstoppable” it seems they have American mentality which says “in God we trust” talk about their style of music that is very superb, in prayer they’re very hot like fire as they are contemporary in style of praying, i observed they have the RCCG style of praying, CAC style of praying, and MFM style of praying, as a matter of fact; Genesis Global Church always ginger worshipers spiritual swagger with full determination to stop the devil to outshine the Church members or the Church of God. No wonder the gate of hell can never prevail.
Talk about their regalia… Very special and uniformity at times I look at them all, and it will look as if they’re just coming/returning from the snow no wonder this popular saying from the small but mighty man of God Genesis “you don’t have to be seductive to be attractive. All I know, it’s all about spirit of God working wonders in Genesis Global Church, it’s ball about affecting the lives of people positively just according to the scriptures that says “God is a spirit and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth” I equally observed that one thing Prophet Genesis always lay much emphasis on, whenever he’s teaching the members is to “Run away from self condemnations” as the real language they speak at Genesis Global Church is that one should be able to know what he or she stand for, to avoid falling a victim, are you even aware that if any denomination approaches members of Genesis Global Church to convinced them to stop worshiping or fellowship at Genesis Global, he or she will shut you down by confronting to tells you the real reason they will continue to worship at Genesis Global Church no wonder they have over 9 thousands worshipers here in Nigeria. Because Genesis members quite know and understand that you can not be a full member of Genesis Global Church without having sense of dignity, as you can’t be from a poor home/background and still end up marrying a spouse without certificate or vision. Do you know why they call all Sister of Genesis Global Daughters of Zion? Because Prophet Genesis will never allow them to rush into any ungodly marriage all because they are eager or to be seen and labeled as being married, as far as I have truly observed both internally or externally, one thing is certain in Genesis Global Church, you can not come from Zion and still lack. Single men doesn’t allow to marry a sister without having a certificate because their doctrine believe love is not blind to issues in Genesis Global Church.
No doubt, and without mincing words, Prophet Israel Oladele the shepherd in charge Genesis Global Church is different in all ramifications as he refuses to take his members to stream for spiritual bath not only that, at Genesis Global Church he doesn’t allow any kind of coconut to be broken at T- Junctions he has never allow the use of brooms as whip on people/worshipers as he basically in delivering people using the mighty word of God.
Are you even aware that Genesis Global by name came as a revelation led by the spirit of God as God directed the great man of God. Prophet Israel Oladele Ogundipe after several seasons of prayer many years back.
Lastly, another thing that makes Prophet Genesis exceptional among others was when he was given a car as a gift from USA worth 15 million, which he got the directive of what to do with the car from God. The directive was to sell the car and use the money for the development of the community and his church, to which the humble and obedient Man of God yielded. Today, it very obvious that he has spent over N40million for the church, street, road construction and interlocking within the Church premises for the road to be motorable.
Do you know? Prophet Israel Oladele Ogundipe rose from nothing to be something and submitted himself wholeheartedly for God to increase him.
Watch out for part 2 from our subsequent publication as we unveil the real Genesis himself.

Celebrating Sir Edwin Ogidi-Gbegbaje At 60 By Jimmy Enyeh
Majority of Deltans are unanimous in their submissions that the name of
Sir Edwin Ogidi-Gbegbaje, a celebrated top civil servant and retired permanent secretary in Delta State Government House has been recorded in the good side of history.
As he clocked 60 today, family members, friends, associates and well wishers have been falling over themselves to pay tribute to a kind hearted and jolly good fellow.
Edwin, a scion of the famous Gbegbaje family in Ekpan, Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State, a family noted for producing top bureaucrats and influential public servants.
For 35 years until he retired in January 2024, he added values to Delta State civil service, deepening its positive nuances and was one of the people that nurtured the civil service of the young state upon creation in 1991 to its now enviable heights, setting it along with others on a trajectory that has made it one of the best in the country.
Gbegbaje’s story is far from the proverbial rags-to-riches . He was born into comfort and high society, but suddenly lost his affluent parents in his first and third years at the University of Jos, but with good counsel and guidance of relatives who were bureaucrats, Edwin Ogidi-Gbegbaje made a career choice that saw him becoming a permanent secretary at 46, a very rare feat in those days.
In an interview conducted three years ago to celebrate his 57 years, he offered a glimpse into his life, challenges and triumph. “I come from the larger Gbegbaje family in Ekpan, Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State. We have quite several branches of the genealogical tree. We have the Abesan. The patriarch of the family is Chief Gbegbaje Dasone.
“We have Oloyo Gbegbaje and Ogidi Gbegbaje. My parents were civil servants like myself. My mum was a social welfare officer who rose through the ranks.During the late Ambrose Ali administration in Bendel State, she was appointed permanent secretary. My father was a medical doctor.
“He was the first radiologist in the defunct Bendel State and second in the country. My father was the chief consultant radiologist in Bendel State. I also have an uncle, Mr. K Gbegbaje who was a permanent secretary. When he retired, he became the Chairman of Bendel State Civil Service Commission. I have an uncle who was the first Accountant-General of Kwara State. He was in the northern civil service in the 60s.He later became Chairman of National Oil. I am from a family of bureaucrats. I attended Emotan Primary School in Benin.
“I proceeded to Edo College. When I left Edo College, I had the desire to leave Benin. Even when I was admitted into UNIBEN to study Economics and Statistics, I wasn’t enthusiastic. So, I got admission to study Political Science in Jos in 1981. Prof Emovon from UNIBEN was the Vice-Chancellor in Jos at the time. As I was entering, Jos ceased being a campus of the University of Ibadan. I was there from 1981 -1985. I graduated before my 21st birthday.
“Unfortunately, I lost my dad as I was entering the university in 1981. When I was just getting into my third year, I lost my mum.
It wasn’t easy being the eldest among my siblings. In fact, I was encouraged to come for Christmas holiday in Benin without knowing that the evening of my arrival in Benin was the period of my mum’s service of songs.
“I didn’t have an inkling that such a thing had happened. I didn’t even hear that she was ill. I was shocked when I saw canopies in my compound at Ovie Whiskey Avenue close to Ekhewan Campus. A prominent Jos-based businessman from Ughelli encouraged me to visit home for Christmas.
“I graduated in 1985 and taught at a secondary school in Iko-Eket, Cross River State. Just as I was finishing, there were some advertisements for jobs. I didn’t see the one for NNPC early enough.Towards the end of 1988, my uncle who was the Chairman of Bendel State Civil Service Commission, said since I couldn’t get a private sector job, I should participate in extended interviews, especially since I had sat for ASCON examination.
“He advised me to start a career in the civil service. By the end of 1988, letters of appointment were out. I wasn’t conscious of the fact that the person who resumes first becomes the senior in service. I didn’t resume early. My uncle said I was supposed to have resumed instead of waiting to resume in the New Year. A few of my friends who were conscious of it had resumed and they became my seniors in service. I resumed on January 3, 1989.
“That was how my career started. We were supposed to come in as administrative officers Grade 7, but at that time there was a decree. So, by the time we came in, we were designated as personnel officers. We were regarded as the special class.
“Upon the creation of Delta State on August 27, 1991, we all had to move to Asaba. In fact, the movement was swift.
We were all not fully prepared for the swift movement. There was a surge of human beings into Asaba with the state creation. A lot of us couldn’t get accommodation in Asaba when we came. In fact, I stayed in Ibusa for nine years. It was when I met my wife that we moved to Asaba. A lot of my colleagues were sleeping in the offices then.
On his retirement, the Delta State governor praised Gbegbaje’s contribution to the growth of the state.
Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, at the retirement thanks-giving service of Gbegbaje, urged civil servants in the state to emulate his virtues.
Speaking at a grand reception in honour of the celebrant at the Events Centre, Asaba, Governor Oborevwori described Ogidi-Gbegbaje as an intelligent, humble, diligent, transparent, process driven, selfless, accountable and compassionate bureaucrat.
While congratulating the retired Permanent Secretary for his diligent and patriotic service to the state, Oborevwori said Ogidi-Gbegbaje was very helpful in the last seven months of his administration.
According to him, “a lot has been said about Sir Eddy Ogidi-Gbegbaje and I also have a personal experience about him while I was Speaker and in the last seven months as Governor of Delta State, we have worked very closely and he helped me to settle down quickly.
“Sir Ogidi-Gbegbaje played his role very well, he is diligent in his duties and was always giving good and useful advise wherever he worked.
“Your service to humanity is something worth emulating and I must say that I enjoyed working with you. I congratulate you for 35 years of unblemished and meritorious service to the government and people of Delta State.
“We are going to miss you, the civil service will miss you, the machinery of government will miss you, you are retired but you are not tired, and your service is still needed.
“I want other civil servants to emulate your commitment to duty. So my message to other civil servants is that they should emulate Edwin Ogidi-Gbegbaje.
“If you look at his journey in the civil service from Bendel to Delta, you see his commitment to duty. Today, he has finished strong and we rejoice with him and his family”.
Chairman of the occasion and former Minister of Information, Professor Sam Oyovbaire, congratulated the celebrant for a successful retirement from service and urged other civil servants to emulate his kind virtues and commitment to duty.
From all indications, Edwin Ogidi-Gbagbaje is worth celebrating, he has touched numerous lives in the last six decades.
At the cusp of his 60th anniversary, the social and the civil service landscapes pulse with milestones he has achieved thus reasserting his worth as a rare force of nature. As family and friends join him in celebrating his 60th birthday, the image that pops into head is that of his genius and the passionate intensity he possesses, literally squizing water from stone as far as the public service is concerned. His brilliant performance as a permanent secretary, Delta State Government House, has earned him another appointment. He is currently the Chairman, Delta State Bureau for Pension and has been giving a splendid account of himself.
