There Are Many Fake Pastors In Nigeria—Pastor Obioha

crown obioha

If there is one man of God in Nigeria, Lagos in particular that is working tirelessly to prepare God’s flocks for His kingdom, he will definitely be Pastor Crown Obioha.

The Senior Pastor at SureCity International Christian Church, SICC, Okoa, Lagos, is a servant of God that has devoted his life to the service of the Almighty.

In this spellbinding interview with Pascal Chikero of http://www.chikero.com.ng/, the powerful ‘oracle of God’ spoke on how he received the call to save humanity from destruction and how churches in Nigeria are battling with fake pastors. He also shed light on SICC’s forthcoming Press Camp. Read excerpts below:

Let’s meet you

I am #Crown Obioha

How was growing up like

Growing up was great. I have six siblings. It was a wonderful experience.

I grew up surrounded by love. We didn’t have so much; but we had so much love for one another.

How did God call you

I was called from the womb. My mum was told that she was carrying a prophet; that when I grow up whatever I tell her I saw in a dream would happen. But I began to get connected to the purpose of God for my life while at the University of Ibadan. It was then I got to understand what it actually meant to be born again because before then growing up, I had been conscious of God and feared God and had answered the alter call several times until I got to the university and got into the Pentecostals. I began to grow and really grew fast spiritually.

Can you narrate how it happen

Then God began to open my heart up to my calling. One particular day he caused John 21:15-17 to jump into my spirit during Bible study. It came alive to me. I knew that was my purpose. To feed God’s flock. And that was the beginning of several encounters and confirmations from spiritual leaders. In my final year in school as a campus Pastor of our fellowship in 2008, God told me He wanted me to prepare His people for the kingdom to come. To teach them how to live the kingdom life right now and here on earth.

How long have you been a Pastor

I have been in pulpit ministry for almost a decade now.

Will you say being a Pastor is fulfilling for you

Yes, it’s been a glorious journey so far. God has been faithful.

If you weren’t called, what other job do you think you would be doing by now

Hmmm, probably build a career in banking, then #business and eventually politics. I really would have loved to contribute to the development of our nation as a political leader. But guess I’m doing that from the pulpit today.

What are the challenges of building a church in #Nigeria

The major challenge is the challenge produced by fakes. The fake ministers who have infiltrated our ranks in the body of Christ making it almost difficult to trust your brother. And making everyone sceptic about ministers. Yeah, that’s a big challenge but I know God would always set apart His servants from the fakes around.

Tell us why you called your church SureCity Church

It’s called Surecity because the Bible said we have received a kingdom that cannot be moved. (Heb. 12:28)

What is happening on the 27th

We would be having our 3rd annual press camp. It’s a time when we gather together to be with our God to get rewired for greater works.

Which Pastors inspire you and why

I admire a lot of pastors but Pastor Brian Houston (of Hillsong church) inspires me a lot. I love his innovation and boldness.

I also love Kenneth Hagin of blessed memory; he has the highest influence in my life and ministry.

What would be your advice for young Pastors

Stay focused, stay on your assignment. Avoid competing with other ministers but seek to complement others because the body of Christ is not in a hold up, we are moving together in a convoy.
