Prophet Wale Olagunju
It would be recalled it was reported
on March 26, 2014 that the Ibadan Prophet Wale Olagunju had
granted his first interview with City People where he made this shocking
revelation saying God spoke to him and asked to stop taking his bath, stop
drinking alcohol and stop having sex with his wife in 2001 and
he has been following the will of God since then.
On when he started his Ministry: I received the name of this church in 1994 but before then
I have been a prophet, prophesying to people and all my prophesies come to
pass. And that was how we started till today. I was at the Ikoyi mountain when
the Lord revealed the church to me.
I went to Oke-Anu Mountain in Ibadan
where the name of the church was confirmed again to me. I told some pastors
about it and they confirmed that is the name of my church. I have been going
from one mountain to another until now.
On how the abstience from taking his
bath and sex for 13 years start he
said: I saw the handwriting boldly in 1999. In 2000, I was on the mountain (at
Akike) where I spent a year praying, asking God to give me more power and
ability to prophecy accurately as well as power. I asked God to give me power
to do exploit in the ministry.
I wanted power like that of Elijah
and Isaiah. But God told me there is a price to pay: “You must separate
yourself by abstaining from bath, sex, drinking of soft drinks and wine."
When I got home, I couldn’t tell my wife. It was a hard task to embark upon.
I kept the word for four months, I
was battling with it and at the same time seeking the face of God for more
clarifications. So God revealed Himself to my wife and it was confirmed and so
since 2001 until now, water has not touched my body. God has been using me and
I have been prophesying according to his instructions and to the glory of God,
all the prophesies have been coming to pass.
On how he copes with the condition
of not taking your bath and the risk of having body odour he said: I have no towel. It is the grace of God. I do not
smell and that is why He is the Almighty God. What is very difficult for man is
possible in the sight of God. God baths me and feeds me. I don’t clean up. I
don’t want fame that will put me to shame. I don’t want to die.
On changing his clothes he said: When I sweat It dries up by itself. I just wake up
in the morning and wear my clothes. I change regularly. I have lots of clothes.
On how he was able to know it was
the voice of God that instructed him he
said: Any voice that says you should separate yourself for God and not commit
sin is of God. There are two voices. I hear the voice of God and it has been
manifesting in my life till today.
On why he drinks water he said: There is a difference between drinking water and
bathing with it.
On if there’s never a time when
hemistakenly splashed water on himself
he said: I am not a child. There has not been any time that I drank water that
it splashed on my body.
On rain touching him he said: I don’t allow rain to touch my body and that is why
I don’t go to the mountain during rainy season. The Lord Jesus did not have a
wife, it is a price he had to pay. Whoever would be used by God must pay a
price. For example, John had no wife and he was in the Island of Patmos alone
eating locust.
On separating himself from his wife he said: I did not separate from my wife in that sense. It
was a mutual understanding between us. We still live together as husband and
wife. She is my wife and I love her dearly. The only thing is that we don’t
have sex together anymore until God takes away the price from me.
On if he is doing all this in the
name of God he said: God instructed me to
separate myself from all those things. It is the price attached to my call.
On not having sex with his wife and
depriving her he said: You are emphasising more
on sex. But it was not only sex and that is what you should know.
It was an instruction from God. God
showed the same to my wife. I have a mutual understanding with my wife. We
don’t fight, neither do we quarrel over this issue. She is a pastor too. It
wasn’t that I decided not to take my bath or have sex with my wife. I did not
abandon my wife. I love my wife and she loves me.
On if he discusses sex with his wife
and if she attracts him he said:
We don’t, but we discuss about God, heaven, and how people are suffering in the
country and the way we can contribute our quota to humanity. It is the grace of
God.
On if he lives in the same room with
his wife he said: We live in the same flat
but we don’t stay in the same room.
On how often he sees his wife and
how many kids they have he said:
Everyday. She is my wife. I have three children
On getting the call after having
children he said: That was how God wanted
it. He perfected everything for me.
On being criticised and the
challenges he faces he said: I am less concerned about
any criticism. The matter is between them and God. I don’t see reason why
people should condemn me. If they are worried over who called me, they should
go to God and ask Him, rather than condemning people. I am answerable to God
and He will reward me accordingly.
In 2009, I was at the University of
Ibadan to buy newspapers. I was standing with my vendor when some people
including professors were condemning me for not taking my bath.
Unfortunately, they did not know I
was the same person they were talking about. They said, I was a false prophet;
that I was looking for occult power. But I explained to them and walked away.
They were astonished.
On having a mentor he said: It is difficult for me to say I have a mentor. The
only mentor I have is God. I focus my attention on the Lord Jesus but for role
model, I can mention Pastor Kumuyi, and it is because of the way he preaches
salvation to people. I am not saying I want to imitate Pastor Kumuyi or behave
like him.
Meanwhile, the prophet’s wife, Mrs.
Bimpe Olagunju confirmed her husband has not had sex with her for 13 years
saying:
"Yes, he has not had sex with
me since 2001 till date. He got the instruction from God. But even before he
got the instruction, God had already told me and this has made it very easy for
me. It is the grace of God. We don’t sleep on the same bed or room, but we live
in the same house."
On being deprived of her sexual
right she said: No I don’t. The grace of
God is sufficient for me. I am not a prophetess. Many people have the notion that
when a woman marries a prophet she automatically becomes a prophetess. I have
the calling of a pastor, although I receive visions from God at times. My
husband is not the first to do this. Isaiah in the bible was also instructed to
walk without shoes. My husband was instructed by God and he has to follow God’s
instructions. My husband is not looking for any power other power than God’s.
On how she reacts to public
condemnation of your husband for this ‘bath fasting’ she said: The public opinion does not count in as much as it
is God’s commandment.
