Overview of what has been going on with the Embassy of God in Kiev and its Senior Pastor Sunday Adelaja.
Below is an overview of what has been going on with the Embassy of the Blessed Kingdom of God for All Nations in Kiev and its Senior Pastor Sunday Adelaja.
  • Sunday Adelaja left his native Nigeria from a forty-hut village in 1986 to the then Soviet Union, where he was recruited to be sent back to Africa as a socialist revolutionary. But instead Sunday Adelaja soon became the biggest Evangelical influence in all of Europe.
  • In 1993, he relocated to the Ukraine to work as a journalist. This was following the completion of his masters’ degree in Journalism, which he obtained from the Belarusian State University.
  • In 1994, he started his fast-growing interdenominational church that soon became both a political and social power house in Ukraine.
  • In 2004, members of the church took an active part in the events of the orange revolution. This action resulted in Pastor Sunday Adelaja being declared as a persona non-grata in Russia by Vladimir Putin, former President of the a fore mentioned country. He was accused of being a voice and a herald of western value systems.
  • In 2007, Victor Yushchenko, former President of Ukraine informed that the Russian government saw the protestant church of Ukraine as the biggest threat to the political dominance that it held over Ukraine. He also stated that Pastor Sunday had become a prime target for the Russian KGB and this information was subsequently passed onto the American ambassador in Kyiv be Pastor Sunday personally.
  • In 2008 after the global economic meltdown, the Ukrainian economy suffered greatly. One of the casualties of this was a company whose proprietor also happened to be a member of the Embassy of God Church. In times past, this individual had been given the opportunity to address the church, a move which our political enemies decided to capitalize on in their bid to rid the church and possibly the country of Pastor Sunday Adelaja.
  • To date, there is still no proof of Pastor Sunday`s involvement in King`s Capital apart from the fact that one of the founders of the said company was a regular member of his church. Additionally, Pastor Sunday’s signature cannot be found on any of the documents. Furthermore, even the owners of the company refuse to accuse Pastor Sunday of any involvement in the set up and running of the company.
  • The Ministry of Internal Affairs actually went ahead to arrest two members of Pastor Sunday`s church, who do not have anything to do with the company, just for them to give a false witness against Pastor Sunday. The formal Minister of Internal Affairs Yuriy Lutsenko actually said that they will remain in prison because they refused to cooperate with the investigators against Pastor Sunday.
  • On the other hand the Ministry actually released the directors of the King`s Capital company because they agreed to work with the police department against Pastor Sunday.
  • So for the last two years Sergey Golovanov and Igor Kolesnikov are still in police detention, which is against Ukrainian law – nobody could be detained for more then 18 month. 
  • In the last few years alone, there have been three different occasions during which the Ukrainian parliament sought to get rid of Pastor Sunday. 
  • Also, Pastor Sunday has lived in the formal Soviet Union for almost 25 years. But despite this, he has been continually denied full citizenship due to the fact that he is still regarded as a foreigner. His influence is seen as a threat to the monogenic culture of Ukraine, especially as a black man who pastors a congregation that is 99% white.
  • Pastor Sunday however is a man of international repute. Recognized worldwide, he has spoken at the United Nations Summits, Bill Clinton Global Initiative 2007, prayed in the US Senate, in Japanese Parliament, Israeli Parliament, and in various other countries.
  • Unfortunately the reverse is the case in Ukraine. Pastor Sunday has been on the wrong side of the political life of Ukraine, mainly because he pastors a protestant church in a predominantly orthodox country.
  • In addition, he is also a black man that leads about a hundred thousand white Ukrainians. A fact that the government is extremely uncomfortable with. More so, several members of Pastor Sunday`s church are becoming more and more active within the political arena and many politicians regard this as a threat to their political ambitions.
  • The investigation into the accusation that was supposed to last three months has dragged on for three years. The last three years has also been wrought with a lot of noise and character assassination on the person of Pastor Sunday, the intention of that being to reduce his influence as well as that of all the protestant churches in Ukraine.
  • Since it is widely believed that the accusations against Pastor Sunday are unfounded, the underlying agenda now is to ensure that Pastor Sunday is not allowed to function within this capacity as a Senior Pastor of the church at all cost and he has subsequently been threatened with up to 12 years imprisonment.
  • The judicial system of Ukraine is rather biased and will not hesitate to send a black pastor to prison in the belief that they are doing God and the Orthodox Church a favor.
  • A member of our church who knows the judge in charge of this case, after their discussion with the judge he confounded privately to him that he does not have an option in this case because the Prosecutor’s general office has given an order to him to simply pass the guilty judgment even before the case has started.
  • The Ukrainian government is quite biased and sympathetic towards the Russian Orthodox Church. We therefore strongly believe that Ukrainian government is being influenced by the Russian Orthodox Church.
    •  
    The members of Embassy of God church and members of civil societies in Ukraine are therefore pleading for an intervention in the attack and persecution against the Embassy of God church and its Senior Pastor, Pastor Sunday Adelaja.

      Pastor Sunday Adelaja.
      My dear friend and brother,
      Have no fear, we are not under the Law, we are under Grace! In the last days, there will be floods, earthquakes and famine. War upon wars... This is all happening, as we know and see. It is also written, "If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are Blessed,for the Spirit of glory and God rests on you... If you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name. For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God, and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?" God be with you, May he continue to Bless you and your family and his Children of God in the Church... Hallelujah, Amen!!

      I believe God will protect you like God protected Daniel from the lions. And the result will be the same as with Daniel. The whole country shall worship God! I saw this when I was praying for pastor Sunday and this case.

      Pastor sunday we are praying for you and i know that no weapon formed against you will prevail and only that saith the Lrd will come true. I will like to encourage you with the following passages. Psalm 23:4 "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.", Psalm 91:1 "He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.", Isaiah 59:19 "So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.". They can do their worse against you and nothing will harm u. Let God arise and his enemies be scartered..

      If God is for us who can be against us. My plea to the Ukranian Goverment is to 'consider your ways' . For Pastor Sunday Adelaja 'the Good Lord is in your midst and you shall see no evil'. According to the word of God in Zephaniah 3:16-17. 'In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, fear thou not; and to Zion, let not thine hands be slack. The Lord, thy God, in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing' (KJV)
      Dear Pastor, do not let your heart fail you, look up to the Hills from where your help comes from. It is well.

      ''Why do the nations rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against His anointed.....He who seats in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall hold them in derision. Then He shall speak to them in His wrath and distress them in His deep displeasure.'' Psalm 2:1-5. Thank you Lord for the fulfillment of Your Word in the life and ministry of your anointed one- Pastor Sunday Adelaja.
