Pastor Idowu Iluyomade: From Pulpit to Bandstand
Pastor Idowu Iluyomade, the former prominent figure at RCCG’s City of David, has taken an unexpected turn in recent months. Alongside his wife, Siju, the pastor has delved into music, surprising many with a newly released single titled “No One Can Thank You Enough.” Clearly, the pair have a melodic side and may be turning to that now.The single release marked the couple’s return to the public eye after months of relative silence. Pastor ID’s Instagram countdown to the debut sparked speculation, so followers were already guessing that he was planning a church expansion. And then, voila! Here’s a musical unveiling instead.
He describes receiving “unsolicited Heavenly Invasions” filled with angelic melodies during sleep – songs he believes were intended not for his private enjoyment but for global worship. He recounts visions of being surrounded by a “Heavenly Angelic Choir” praising the divine, leading him to record and share these hymns.
This spiritual sensitivity seems almost ironic given that his suspension stemmed from perceived insensitivity to the loss of a revered church member. While his “heavenly noggings” drive him toward musical evangelism, they contrast sharply with the events that led to his formal exit from RCCG leadership.
Meanwhile, supporters within the Apapa Family, a well-connected group within RCCG, are rumoured to be encouraging Pastor ID to start his ministry. The group, known for its outreach projects, may be looking to back him in this potential new chapter outside RCCG.
Even as the RCCG governing council has yet to formally accept his resignation, some say this could signal the beginning of a new direction for Pastor ID. His next move remains uncertain, though his recent musical pursuits hint that he’s open to exploring more unconventional paths.
Whatever lies ahead, the public is intrigued by Pastor ID’s evolution from preacher to musician. His journey from the pulpit to the bandstand has undoubtedly added an unexpected twist to his story.
