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 s*x with his wife in 2001 and he has been following the will of God since then.
In this recent interview with Vanguard, his wife also revealed how she’s been coping.
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 s*x 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, s*x, 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 clothe. 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 s*x 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 s*x with his wife and depriving her he said: You are emphasising more on s*x. But it was not only s*x 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 s*x with my wife. I did not abandon my wife. I love my wife and she loves me.
On if he discusses s*x 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 s*x with her for 13 years saying:
“Yes, he has not had s*x 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.
