PASTOR REMI MORGAN TAKES OVER LAGOS RCCG PARISH FROM PASTOR ITUAH

A new funky Pastor has taken over Pastor Ituah’s former Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Christ Church Parish and this is authoritative. Few weeks back, a new Pastor, Remi Morgan, was announced as the new Pastor –in- Charge of the Parish, the appointment came all the way from the RCCG, headquarter located on the Lagos Ibadan/Expressway which is headed by the General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye. Pastor Morgan is to take charge of the affair of this popular Redeem church located at the Gbagada axis of Lagos. Not only that, the church was also promoted to a Provincial Headquarters. This was done to put an end to the ongoing crisis that has been rocking the church after the exit of Pastor Ituah.
According to what City People gathered, before the church was promoted to a Provincial Headquarters, Pastor Adeboye, fondly called Daddy G.O actually paid a visit to the church with his wife, Mummy G.O during one of their Sunday services sometime in March, 2010. During the service, he mandated the church committee to form 15 more parishes before the end of July, 2010. Many people did not realize that it was in a bid to make Christ Church a Provincial Headquarters, and the reason for opening more branches was to enable the church meet up with the requirement to achieve that status, as it is required for every Provincial Headquarters to have a certain number of parishes under its umbrella. And at that time, Christ Church needed to have 15 more to complement the existing ones. The aim is to take the church to a higher level and allow it to maximize its potential since its one of the richest and fastest growing RCCG parishes. The church was able to meet up with this requirement, as the church committee all worked hand-in-hand during this period to achieve the proposed end result.
But ever since the new Pastor has been named, there are those who believe that the reason behind the appointment might actually go beyond the church’s expansion and promotion to a Provincial Headquarters status. This is because ever since Pastor Ituah’s exit as the Pastor-in-Charge of the church over his marriage to Ex-Beauty queen, Ibidun Ajayi, last year, things have not been the same at the Church. The church has not even been in the news like before as Pastor Ituah brought a lot of glamour and revolution to the church. He has a great number of loyal members who in a way were still agitating the return of Pastor Ituah. But it became obvious couple of months back, that he was not coming back as he went ahead to establish his own church. Then it was reported that some of the church members were reported to have followed him, while those who did not, now shuttle between Christ Church and Trinity House. This was even very glaring at the official launch of the church which took place at The Civic Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos. All the workers of the new church who wore black T-Shirts with ‘Believe’ boldly written at the back, are members of Christ Church, who have since crossed over with Pastor Ighodalo.There were some other pastors from the Redeemed Church who are close friends of Pastor Ighodalo who also followed Pastor Ituah to help and build his new church.
What made the story interesting was that, when Pastor Ituah was asked to resigned from the church, he was also asked to name a successor and he named Pastor Segun Omotosho who has since been running the church. But a lot of people still felt that there was a big vacuum in the church. Moreover little or nothing has been heard about Pastor Segun Omotosho until then. And this has nothing to do with his anointing, as he also has vast knowledge of the word of God. But he is regarded a very calm person and his style of preaching was far different from Pastor Ituah, which the congregation had been used to for years, so the change was not an easy one.
So in a bid to save the church from mass exodus which the RCCG headquarters had foreseen, they needed to act fast and restructured the church. This had been explained as the real reason why Pastor Remi Morgan was appointed by the RCCG headquarters as the new Pastor- in-Charge. Any one sitting under the anointing of this new Pastor and hearing him speak will also easily notice that he shares a lot of things with Pastor Ituah Ighodalo. Apart from the fact that he is also funky like him, his style of preaching is also yuppie. And in just in 3 weeks of taking over, he is gradually winning the hearts of the congregation. He is also very sound in the word and as contributed in a phenomenal way to the growth of the RCCG family. Just like Pastor Ituah, the new Pastor also has a passion for youth empowerment and motivational activities, which will soon start putting the church in the news like before. He used to be the Pastor-in-Charge of Province 24, RCCG Master’s Court, Olosa Street, Victoria Island, Lagos before he was transferred to the RCCG, Christ Church Parish which has now been named Province 35. He is also well travelled and a world renowned pastor as he is one of the most sought after Redeem Pastors, on the international scene as guest speaker at Christian summits, crusades and luncheons. He is also a successful business man, as he operates one of the largest Nigerian Christian products distributors. He is the CEO of Laterna Bookshop/Ventures located on Victoria Island axis of Lagos. His bookshop has been rated as one of the topmost ones in Lagos and there is hardly no book you can’t get from there.
One interesting thing about him is that, he does not only share similarities with Pastor Ituah, they are actually close friends. They have handled a couple of projects together on the educational level that has to do with Youth Empowerment, while Pastor Ituah was still the Pastor-in-Church of Christ Church. Pastor Remi Morgan was actually one of the top Pastors that also stood by Pastor Ituah during the opening of his new church, Trinity House, a gesture which further buttress their closeness.
