Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo, founder of Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC), has shared a personal testimony about how faith, determination, and divine provision helped him break what he described as generational limitations.
Speaking during a prayer session at the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) mountain in Erio, Ekiti State, the cleric addressed a large congregation at the crusade ground, reflecting on his humble beginnings and the progress he has made over the years.
A video shared on social media by @therealchurchg1 captured the moment Ashimolowo spoke about his journey and his commitment to building a lasting legacy for his family. He revealed that he intentionally made a promise to ensure his children and grandchildren enjoy greater opportunities than he had growing up.
“I vowed to give my children what my father couldn’t give me,” he said.
The preacher further disclosed that he has taken significant steps toward securing his family’s future, including acquiring properties for his descendants. According to him, five of his grandchildren, all under the age of 12, already own houses individually. He also stated that four of them are currently enrolled in private schools in England, with their education fully funded by him.
Ashimolowo added that he has purchased 22 houses so far and has plans to expand his real estate portfolio to 100 properties. He explained that some of these assets are placed in trust for his family.
“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. Every year, I also sponsor my family’s holidays. I am building houses and apartments and placing them in trust. Right now, I want to buy 100; I have already bought 22,” he said.
His comments sparked reactions on social media. Olumayokun Akinlosotu praised the pastor’s efforts, describing his investments in his grandchildren and properties as a strong example of love and hard work for future generations.
Similarly, Eunice Nesa Emmanuel expressed faith that she would also be able to leave a positive legacy for her children and grandchildren.
However, Paul Adeyemo offered a more reflective take, cautioning that excessive comfort for children may not always be beneficial. He noted that challenges often strengthen faith and character, adding that while providing for one’s family is important, it should be balanced to avoid fostering dependency.
The discussion continues to generate mixed reactions online as users debate wealth, legacy, and parenting approaches.
