A Nigerian billionaire clergyman, Prophet Joshua Iginla, has finally remarried after divorcing his former wife, Mrs Yemisi Iginla.
Mr Iginla, who is the General Overseer of Champions Royal Assembly, Abuja, had in March 2019 personally announced the end of his marriage to Yemisi, who has been alleged to have remarried in the United States of America afterwards.
According to a statement made available to Business Post by one of the cleric’s media handlers on Wednesday night, Prophet Iginla has finally divorced his wife over infidelity and has moved on permanently with his new wife, a prophetess whom we learnt has been a source of peace and happiness to him.
Meanwhile, the man of God, one of the humblest clergies who has chosen his resources to impact the less privileged and the needy, is adding another year today, Thursday, May 21, 2020.
The Abuja-based seer, who is arguably one of the richest prophets globally with acquisition of private jets, mega parishes across the world and ultra-modern buildings home and abroad, didn’t just emerge as an influential and successful man, there are several mind-blowing stories behind his success.
How would one describe a man who rose from nothing to something, a man who was an object of mockery in town, a man who couldn’t afford to eat a two—square meal a day, becoming a man whom every influential person in the world wants to reckon with?
Mr Iginla can be likened to one who was never expected to be successful, but against all odds, woke up to success and started living it.
Little wonder one of the favourite topics to preach for him is God’s grace. Of a truth, grace has visited the man of God and decided to live with him for the rest of his life, judging by the success he has attained.
Prophet Iginla, when he started ministry, used to hold service in a room where 20 people can’t stay comfortably, meaning he had a very small congregation too, but today, his ministry can boast of an 80,000-seater auditorium built in Abuja and South Africa without the support of anyone.
The same cleric that had a small congregation can now boast of hundreds of thousand members who throng his church at every service, including weekdays.
On every May 21, which happens to be his birthday, Brother Joshua Iginla, as he loves to be called, celebrates grace and extends it to his members, widows, less privileges, well-wishers, to mention a few.
During a birthday celebration, he once gave out 32 cars and another 22 vehicles. If one is to count the number of cars the man of God has given out, it would be over 200 by now, for someone who had nothing.
Surprisingly, Joshua Iginla has given out houses, landed properties, cash gifts, to the desolates, the needy, widows and placed over 200 people on lifetime salary.
The Nollywood movie industry will never forget him for his magnanimity towards actors and actresses. He has given them cars, paid hospital bills of a lot of them, given some of them houses and placed many of them of life-time salary.
As a prophet, he has foretold several prophecies that have come to pass. Some of them include the coming of Coronavirus, President Buhari’s deteriorating health condition, the outcome of elections, to mention a few.
No doubt, Brother Iginla has enjoyed God’s grace, he is a true recipient of God’s grace because it keeps increasing, day by day.
As another May 21 hits the corner, one would remember his popular saying that, it’s not a show off but an opportunity to showcase the mercy and Grace of God upon his life and through him to this generation.
