Pastor Goke is the author of “Tithing and The New Testament Church”. His focus in ministry is Prayer, Discipleship through the word of God and Leadership.
He is an auditor by profession, a Certified Public Accountant, and a Certified Fraud Examiner. He holds an MSA in Information Resource Management. He grew up in a Christian background, and later joined The Redeemed Christian Church of God where he served in various capacities for twenty-one years and was ordained as a minister in 2010. He received the call upon his life and eventually started the ministry in 2017. He is a graduate of Master of Theological Studies in the School of Divinity at Regent University.
He got born again in 1988 in a town called Eruwa in Oyo state, Nigeria, after seeing the healing power of God at work, but backslide in 1989. With persuasion of Kemi, his fiancée at the time, he rededicated his life on February 5, 1995 at the Nigerian Christian Corpers’ Fellowship in Sokoto, Sokoto State, Nigeria. He has been involved in ministry for three decades.
A man of prayer and the word, he has a passion for holiness and a desire to please God in all. He holds firmly the word of the Lord Jesus in Matt 6:33 and that of John the apostle in 1John 2:15-17. His quest for undiluted truth in the word of God and a desire to share such understanding with those who desire to learn has been his motivation.
