POPULAR CLERIC, PRIMATE AYODELE, EMPOWERS HIS MINISTERS AND CHURCH MEMBERS WITH MILLIONS OF NAIRA AHEAD OF 66TH BIRTHDAY
Renowned Nigerian cleric and founder of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has once again demonstrated his commitment to welfare, generosity, and practical Christianity as he empowered his ministers and church members with millions of naira in cash ahead of his 66th birthday.
The empowerment gesture comes as part of activities marking the cleric’s birthday, which will be celebrated on Saturday, February 14, 2026.
Cash Support for Ministers and Members
According to sources within the church, the financial support was distributed across various categories, including resident pastors, church workers, and selected members who have remained steadfast in service and commitment to the ministry over the years.
The empowerment exercise was reportedly carried out quietly but effectively, with beneficiaries receiving cash support running into several millions of naira, aimed at easing economic pressures, supporting personal businesses, and encouraging continued dedication to ministry work.
“Service to Humanity Is My Calling” – Ayodele
Primate Ayodele, who has consistently emphasized the importance of impacting lives beyond the pulpit, was quoted as saying that his birthday celebration is not about fanfare but about giving back and strengthening people.
“If God has blessed you, you must be a blessing to others. Celebrating life should reflect in how many lives you touch,” the cleric reportedly stated.
A Pattern of Generosity
This is not the first time the outspoken prophet has embarked on large-scale empowerment initiatives. Over the years, Primate Ayodele has become widely known for supporting widows, youths, church workers, journalists, and even non-members through cash gifts, scholarships, and business support.
Many beneficiaries describe him as a leader who leads with compassion, matching spiritual guidance with tangible support.
Birthday Celebration with Purpose
As he clocks 66 on February 14, observers say the cleric’s decision to prioritize empowerment over lavish celebrations reinforces his image as a man committed to faith in action.
Church members have continued to pour in prayers and goodwill messages, praising the cleric for what they describe as “fatherly leadership” and “consistent generosity in difficult times.”
