..Dr Olukoya Urges Male Leaders to Uphold Godly Character, Integrity

For spiritual renewal, growth, and development, the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries, MFM, God’s Men of Valour, GMOV, held its 2026 Leaders Retreat with the theme “Power for Fresh Glory.”

The event, held at MFM International Headquarters, Grace Hall, drew men leaders and pastors from different MFM regions who gathered on-site and online across the world to deepen their spiritual commitment and strengthen their leadership roles.

From the opening session, it was clear the retreat was more than a meeting, it was a call to transformation and effective leadership.

Throughout the retreat, participants engaged in intense prayer sessions, worship, and insightful teachings. The program featured impactful, life-changing workshops focused on practical leadership skills, family responsibility, spiritual growth, and financial independence, with sessions addressing real-life challenges faced by men in leadership and in all spheres of life.

In his welcome exhortation, the GMOV Global Chairman, Pastor Kunle Adesanya, thanked the General Overseer of MFM Worldwide, Dr. Daniel Kolawole Olukoya, and his wife, Dr. Folashade Elizabeth Olukoya, for “constantly improving, promoting, and empowering men in and outside the ministry.”

Adesanya said the passion of Dr. Olukoya, who is the International President of GMOV, “is to raise men with godly character that will be blessing to all.” He noted that the General Overseer has empowered GMOV and put in place “different biblical teachings and deliverance prayers to ensure that men are liberated to fulfill their God-given purposes and destinies in life, as well as attain leadership roles God has ordained them to be.”

He revealed that MFM often teaches that men have responsibility as spiritual heads in families and leaders in ministry units.

Adesanya said God’s Men of Valour was birthed to bring men back to God. He stressed that “God has used the group through different spiritual and empowerment programs to change and transform lives of men by making them to discover themselves, bringing them closer to God and encouraging them to become men of integrity, making significant and beneficial impacts in all facets of life, in families and societies at large.”

He explained that the vision of GMOV is for men to discover themselves, recover their lost glory, and be repositioned to fulfill their divine destiny, citing Ezekiel 36:26. The mission, he added, “seeks to see Christian men financially and economically buoyant, putting them at the center of the economy.”

In his teaching titled “Problem of Failed Male Leaders,” Dr. Olukoya said men fail in leadership when they “allow bad influences to shape their decisions, make decisions without understanding as well as ignoring wise advice.”

Dr. Olukoya said godly character with integrity, maintaining strong moral values, the ability to take responsibility for actions, effective listening, discipline, honesty, and selflessness are the “hallmark for effective purposeful leadership.”

Lecturing, on the theme ” Godly man and Worldly man”  Pastor Clement Umoru, Seniors Regional Overseer (SRO)/Mega Regional Overseer (MRO) MFM Tent Maker (TMPM) Pastoral Ministry called on  men to constantly  reflect God’s character and God’s image, with inward devotion to  God, and  outwardly display of godliness.

His words” The Bible is handbook for any man that desires to be a godly man. Every godly man must reflect God’s  character,  he must display and accept righteousness of Jesus Christ as well as obey word of God. He is devoted to his own spiritual growth,  priortize his activities ,  communicate responsibly , has deep respect for God , walk in the way of the Lord, fears the Lord . A godly man is  a servantof God, committed to serving God, his family and Ministry ”

In the same vien, while speaking on ” Empowered to Manifest New Dimension of Glory” Dr. Moses Adebowale, the  Senior Regional Overseer/ Mega Regional Overseer in charge of MFM,  Lekki Axis,  emphasised the need for personal  concentration , separation to God and active faith to Manifest the new dimension  of glory.

Adebowale, however emphasized the need for  the Holy Spirit to navigate life, he stressed the need  for wisdom which he described  as knowing  what it requires to get ones desire.
