Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo, founder of Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC), has shared a powerful personal testimony on overcoming generational limitations through faith, hard work, and divine provision, during a prayer session at the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) mountain in Erio, Ekiti State. In his address to a large congregation, the cleric reflected on his humble beginnings and the remarkable progress he has achieved, emphasizing his commitment to securing a better future for his family. He revealed that he made a deliberate vow to provide for his children and grandchildren what his own father could not give him, setting a foundation for lasting legacy and prosperity.
Speaking passionately during the crusade, Ashimolowo disclosed that he has already acquired 22 houses, with plans to expand his real estate portfolio to 100 properties. He explained that these assets are being placed in trust for his family, ensuring long-term security and inheritance. Most notably, he revealed that five of his grandchildren, all under the age of 12, each own a house individually. He also stated that four of them are currently enrolled in private schools in England, with their education fully funded by him.
“I vowed to give my children what my father couldn’t give me,” Ashimolowo said, underscoring his determination to break cycles of poverty and limitation. He added that he intends to cover all educational expenses for his grandchildren—from preschool to master’s degree—and also sponsors their family holidays annually. “Apart from bankrolling their wedding, I bought a house each for them in London. For any child they give birth to, from preschool to master’s degree, I will pay for all my grandchildren,” he declared.
The revelation has sparked widespread reactions on social media, with many praising his dedication and vision. Olumayokun Akinlosotu commended the pastor, calling his investments in his grandchildren and properties a powerful example of love and hard work for future generations. Eunice Nesa Emmanuel expressed hope that she too could leave a positive legacy for her children and grandchildren.
However, not all responses were celebratory. Paul Adeyemo offered a more cautious perspective, warning that excessive comfort for children might hinder character development. He argued that challenges often strengthen faith and resilience, and that while providing for one’s family is commendable, it should be balanced to avoid fostering dependency.
The conversation continues to trend online, with Nigerians debating the role of wealth, legacy, and parenting in shaping the next generation. As Pastor Ashimolowo’s story spreads, it serves as both inspiration and a point of reflection on how faith, vision, and sacrifice can create enduring change across generations.
