Pastor Poju Oyemade is the Senior Pastor and Founder of The Covenant Nation (TCN) – a ministry founded in 1994 and headquartered in Lagos Nigeria, where he oversees a dynamic community of believers who attend any of its services every week or join in on its online platforms.
He is a highly regarded teacher of the Word of Faith, who draws out insightful lessons from God’s word that are applicable to the complexities of everyday life, family, business, and nation building. His messages are both transformational and trans generational, finding relevance across all walks of life.
A graduate of University of Lagos, Pastor Poju Oyemade’s call to ministry dates to his time as an undergraduate and was later ordained into ministry.
He has been consistently described as a bridge in the Christian community in Nigeria
- a link between the older generation of Christian trailblazers in the country and the younger generation; between entrepreneurs and professionals in business; as well as between the government and the governed.
In this regard, he convenes three flagship events annually:
- The World Faith Believers Convention (WOFBEC) – an annual prophetic gathering of teachers of the word of faith in the body of Christ globally, with the aim to instruct and impart on the younger generation, teaching the origins of faith and transferring the prophetic mantle to the coming generation.
- The Platform Nigeria – a non-political, non-partisan national development fair which holds as a global media event on Workers’ Day (May 1) and Nigeria’s Independence Day (October 1), hosting speakers from the highest levels of
the nation’s leadership and leaders in Global policy practice.
- A Pastors’ Conference for Pastors, Ministers, Church Leaders and Workers – a capacity development event organised to teach strategic Church organization and Management that inspires the right values for the work of Ministry.
Pastor Poju is also incredibly open to innovation, embracing technology and other media to reach humanity with the gospel of Jesus Christ. His digital engagements reach millions of followers globally across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X and on the Church’s website insightsforliving.org. He hosts the regular TV programs ‘Insights for Living’ and the ‘The Quantum Leap’ on various TV stations around the nation and in the UK.
Pastor Poju is happily married to Pastor Toyin – who is also a dynamic teacher of the word, and owns a media production company, StoryTeller Media Global.
