Sunday Adelaja : The Devil’s Master Or The Fallen ‘Angel’ looking for saints to drag in the mud
Since when did Pastor Sunday Adelaja becomes the devils advocate?
Arguably one of the Nigerian pastors who was doing greatly in Europe is Sunday Adelaja, the founder of Embassy of the Blessed Kingdom of God for All Nations. He had one of the largest churches in the world and one of the highest number of members any pastor could think of.
Anything that has to do with a successful ministry was associated with him, he was the man everyone wanted to be like. Infact, he got to a point in ministry where he was involved in decision making in Ukraine and became a reference point for popular preachers in Nigeria.
He had a lot of followers online too, his live videos, podcasts, youtube videos were the talk of the town due to the kind of teachings he taught, they were glorifying and edifying to the spirit but in one way or the other, he singlehandedly invited the devil into his life and fell drastically from grace to grass and from the leader of one of the largest churches to a clergy without pulpit and thus because one of to the devils advocate attacking the real men of God.
His attacks on men of God however isn’t something shocking. For someone who has been drenched in several kind of sins ranging from fraud to deception, immorality,adultery and so on, he wouldn’t want to go down the drain alone but would want to drag other men of God with him and unknown to him, he is putting more coal to the fire of punishment that is being prepared for him.
All this didn’t just happened suddenly. As the saying goes, ‘Pride goeth before destruction’. One of the things that killed the ministry of Pastor Sunday Adeleja was pride. He had almost everything a Pastor should have but not humility. He was a hot cake then and placed himself so high against what the bible preaches. He began to attack Nigerian pastors and their teachings. He began to point out the wrongs in their teachings, he turned himself to a judge whereas, even the bible asks us not to Judge so we won’t be judged. He refused to take off the dirt in his own eyes first but busy advocating for the devil. His case is like kettle calling the pot black. He didn’t think about all these, all because of pride and according to the bible
Isaiah 14:12-15
“How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, You who have weakened the nations! “But you said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, And I will sit on the mount of assembly In the recesses of the north. ‘I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’
“Nevertheless you will be thrust down to Sheol, To the recesses of the pit.’’
It all started with adultery scandal which erupted only after some women revealed the affairs to other area pastors, who made information public and initiated investigation.
Mr Adelaja, who earlier repeatedly denied being involved in sexual relationship with parishioners, was unfrocked and removed from leadership of the church, preaching, and counseling, according to the Russian Union of Christians of Evangelical Faith (ROSHVE).
The decision was taken after the US settled Apostle Tuff Ulissis, who performed spiritual care for Sunday Adelaja for several years, sent a letter to all the leaders in the “Embassy” that shed light on the gravity of the situation.
During the meeting with pastor Adelaja and his wife, pastor Bose Adelaja, Mr Ulissis found out that Adelaja confessed to having affairs with at least 20-30 women both single and married (and probably even more as he could’t tell the precise number of victims) and repented of his sins but did it in perfunctory manner.
The clergyman also talked to women, both married and single, who told him about Adelaja systematically using various manipulation techniques, flattering words, and his own position to force them into sexual encounters.
In a letter Apostle Tuff Ulissis wrote: “All the stories were equally horrific, disgusting and depressing. People are very sorry about the current situation with the pastor and wanted him to have psychiatric help.
I made it clear that my aim is not to destroy either the Embassy of God, because many people have found help in the church or Pastor Sunday as a person. I wanted to make sure that everything has been done to these women and the couples have received care, reconciliation and redeeming restoration.”
Interestingly, Adelaja’s confession came one month after he shared a video on his blog titled “Sexual Sin Is Not Enough to Take You to Hell.” (now deleted) What is even more surprising is that the church has not issued a public statement regarding the case as an inside matter.
Meanwhile, Adelaja’s Facebook and blog are still active. By the way, he was also accused of being involved in fraud and the dealings of King’s Capital, a financial group led by a former member of his congregation. Adelaja is reportedly planning to move from Ukraine to Nigeria for some time.
However, after facing all these struggles which is the devil’s handwork, instead of asking for forgiveness and repenting, he went ahead and started attacking real men of God, looking for ways to drag them to the mud he is. Could it be depression or frustration?
The first Man Of God he criticised was the General Overseer Of The Redeemed Christian Church Of God, Pastor E.A Adeboye, he pointed out a mistake in his teaching and called him a lair
In a video published to YouTube, Adelaja replays a video of Adeboye lecturing on the subject ‘Sacrifice Overturns Wrath’ in which he quotes Psalm 41:1-3, using the Scriptural reference to encourage attendees to financially partner with his ministry.
“If you are a giver, when you are sick, God will visit you”, Adeboye is seen stating in the video, while reading out from the bible.
But Adelaja pointed out that Psalm 41 actually states, “Blessed is he who considers the poor; the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble”.
He explained that the context refers to giving to the less privileged, not to a church or pastor. The founder of Embassy of God described Adeboye’s interpretation as a “broad daylight lie. He is twisting the Bible just for people to give to him’’
Few days after Pastor Sunday Adelaja,the General Overseer of the Kiev, Ukraine-based Embassy of the Blessed Kingdom of God for All Nations, attacked Dr. Paul Enenche, the founder of Dunamis International Gospel Center. He accused him of using magic and rituals to perform miracles without any cogent proof, the church however replied him and asked him to face the many scandals hanging on his neck.
He also attacked The Founder Of Believers’ world AKA Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, The Founder Of The Synagogue Church Of All Nations, Prophet TB Joshua and accused them of faking miracles.
This kind of person should be likened to Satan who was sent away from the midst of angels in heaven and started tormenting the children of God and even at that, Satan’s sins wasn’t as much as this before he was sent off. Hence, Sunday Adelaja should be seen as the Devil’s master.
Manipulation: Ignorance Is a License to Bondage — Dr. Chris Okafor
“Nothing honours until a spirit interferes.”
Manipulation, broadly defined, is the act of influencing or controlling a person or situation through subtle or overt tactics for personal advantage. In many cases, such influence is perfected through spiritual interference, because the spiritual realm ultimately governs the physical.
This profound subject formed the focus of the midweek non-denominational Prophetic Healing, Deliverance and Solutions (PHDS) Service ministered by the Generational Prophet of God and Senior Pastor of Grace Nation Worldwide, Dr. Chris Okafor, at the international headquarters of the ministry in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, Nigeria.
Speaking on the topic “Manipulation”, with the subtitle “The Spiritual Aspect,” Dr. Okafor explained that manipulation exists in two dimensions: demonic manipulation and divine manipulation.
Demonic Manipulation
According to the Generational Prophet, demonic manipulation represents the negative expression of spiritual control, where individuals are influenced by the spirit of darkness to act contrary to their true intentions and divine purpose.
He noted that under demonic manipulation, people often say or do things their inner conscience did not authorize, acting solely under satanic influence. This, he explained, accounts for the increasing hostility, false accusations, and defamatory statements directed at genuine servants of God in contemporary times.
“Many people speak evil against true men of God, maligning those sent by God to help them. Often, it is not entirely their fault—it is the work of demonic manipulation,” he stated.
Dr. Okafor, however, offered reassurance, emphasizing that a prayerful life and proper spiritual alignment provide immunity against such attacks. He stressed that when a believer is connected to a spiritual father and guided correctly, no level of manipulation can stop destiny or destroy God-ordained blessings.
He warned that unchecked manipulation can damage destiny and limit access to divine blessings.
Divine Manipulation
The Prophet further taught that just as there is demonic manipulation aimed at destruction, there is also divine manipulation—the intervention of God to protect, guide, and align His people with His eternal purpose.
“If there is a demon manipulating destinies wrongly, there is also a God in heaven who divinely interferes to preserve glory,” he declared.
Dr. Okafor explained that believers who understand the principles of serving God in truth and in spirit operate under divine manipulation, where God orchestrates events in their favour. Under such covering, no demonic manipulation can prevail.
He added that consistent prayer, commitment to kingdom service, partnership with God’s work, and active soul-winning neutralize every form of demonic interference.
Solutions to Manipulation
According to Dr. Okafor, the ultimate safeguard against manipulation is a disciplined prayer life and total commitment to the things of God. Such spiritual alignment ensures that no demonic influence can infiltrate a believer’s path.
The PHDS midweek service witnessed a mighty move of the Holy Spirit, marked by deliverance, healings, miracles, restoration, and divine solutions to numerous cases presented before Elohim, the God of Grace Nation.

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.

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.

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.
