In a statement released by the founder and President of the commission, Elijah Hagin, he said these branches have been granted full autonomy and shall exist and operate independently of Exousia fellowship Inc. with effect from February 1st, 2023.

As a way to honour the pastors and thank them for the many contributions they have made, the branch pastors were each rewarded with landed property or equivalent in cash. This is to assist them embark on their personal vision in ministry they wept at such gesture by the man of God.

A celebratory feast was served afterward as a farewell to the branch pastors, who have worked hard over the past years to guide and lead in their local churches.

Elijah Hagin emphasised the importance of always doing what is right, replicating to others the good that was done to them, and living a life devoid of greed.

He implored them to become good overseers and always remember that God was always with them, and encouraged them to rely on His grace and love in times of need.

The branch pastors will be greatly missed but the church is confident that God is with them even as they embark on this journey.
