The Primate and General Overseer of Seed of Christ Golden Church, Worldwide, Apostle Solomon Moses O. Mustapha will be 57 on May 27.
Though it’s not a landmark, he believes every year is worth celebrating. And he has been celebrating every year in a rather unique way.
The Evangelist and Prophet, began his birthday activities with a Medical outreach in Abuja where more than 200 people were screened for cataract and 58 confirmed cases were operated, treated and several others were given glasses in March 2026.
The activities continued in April with empowerment of needy families and youths with supply of foodstuffs, trade equipment and funds to weather through the biting economic hardship in the country.
He also does humanitarian services at the Church headquarters in Idi Obi, Airport Area in Ibadan every week until the grand finale on May 29, 2026
The birthday celebration will culminate with a book launch and prayer programme at Lufuwape Camp Ground, Sagamu on May 29, 2026.
He shared his experience in ministry with Abraham Oladipupo in this interview
How does it feel to be 57?
We thank God for His faithfulness. Everyone knows it takes the grace of God to live from age one to 58.. I have gone through many things, but to the glory of God, I came out victorious.. I won’t like to go into details. But witnessing another year is a great testimony. I believe every year is worth celebrating.
What other things are you doing to mark the day apart from what you have done so far?
First, we will praise God in His church. That is a priority. We are going to increase the number of people that benefit from the free eye surgery to about 280 people as part of the celebration in the area of health. We will continue to give support to the poor. And we will support some elderly people with stipends. This time, we have set aside a special amount to bless them and make them happy.
What has encouraged you to keep going in ministry?
Thank you for that question, sir. When I first heard the call of God to start the ministry, I delayed for nine years. When I eventually began, I realized I had lost time, so I made it my mission to preach the gospel all over the world.
To achieve this, I embraced media platforms. I started with one radio station, then two, and today we are on about 147 radio and TV stations, including nine international TV stations.
My goal is to spread the gospel globally, and that is why I am willing to invest whatever it takes to fulfill this mission.
There is a growing conversation about age in ministry—that leaders should hand over when they get older. Yet in the Bible, many men of God served until their last day. What is your view on this?
It depends on the constitution of each ministry. Some have policies that require retirement at a certain age. In my ministry, we do not have such a provision. We do not retire pastors, so why should I retire? We even have people above 70 years still active on our altars. Everyone has their own structure, but in our ministry, we believe pastors do not retire.
Looking at Nigeria, what is your take on Christians in politics and in leadership?
The challenge we have is this: in the Bible, before Israel chose a king, they consulted the prophet, and the prophet chose for them. But in Nigeria today, people choose leaders based on money, influence, and connections. If you lack these, you may not succeed. So we are choosing based on human reasoning, not God’s direction.
Also, not everyone who calls themselves a Christian is truly born again. What we need are born-again Christians who have the mind of Christ and can follow God’s leading. However, such people often lack the financial strength needed to get into power, and that remains a major challenge.
There has been criticism of Pentecostal churches, with some even calling them “penterascal.” What is your take on this?
I cannot say much on that because my ministry is spiritual. I am a prophet, and I do not speak on what I do not know. What you don’t have, you cannot give.
My focus is on those who truly follow Christ, because Christ leads. That is why I stand on my own. When God called me, He called me personally.
So if you are invited to an orthodox church, will you go?
Yes, I will. Whether Pentecostal or orthodox, I preach wherever I am invited. Right now, I am on my way to a C&S church to preach. I have also ministered in Celestial churches during crusades. That is how we reach people.
What is your view on the current security situation in the country?
Security matters are primarily the responsibility of the government. As a pastor, my role is spiritual—I am a soldier for Christ, not a physical soldier.
People may expect more, but prayer is our assignment. If you see a pastor carrying a weapon, it would raise questions. So security is a government responsibility.
What advice would you give to the government?
I believe the government is aware of the situation in the country.. If I were in their position, I would know what steps to take. If the challenge exceeds their capacity, they should seek international support because the situation has become serious.
There was a time, about 30 years ago, when traveling at night was safe and peaceful. That is no longer the case today.
Many Christians say they are tired of praying because things are getting worse. How would you encourage them?
My advice is to continue praying. Jesus taught us to pray until something happens.
As a prophet, I saw these events as far back as 1988 while in Ikole Ekiti. I shared then that a time would come when fear would be so great that people might abandon even their loved ones.
For years, I have been speaking and praying about this. If we had taken prophetic warnings seriously, perhaps things would be different today.
Finally, what is your view on the 2027 election?
Over the years, I have given prophecies about elections—from President Jonathan to the current president. I declared before the primaries that Tinubu would win.
Despite criticism, I maintained that I was not supporting anyone but simply sharing what God revealed. However, due to the reactions I received, I have decided not to disclose what God has shown me about 2027 until He permits me to do so.
