However, the Edo State pastor clarified this misconception in one of his interviews, stating that he is not the late preacher&#8217;s son nor in any way related to him, but they are both from the same State, Edo.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Bishop Isaac Idahosa is a Mechanical Engineer Turned Pastor<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>After he graduated from the university, young Isaac said that he constantly was getting disturbed to go into evangelism and full-time ministry. Although he&#8217;s got a certificate as a well-qualified Mechanical Engineer alongside all it takes to secure himself a decent job, he chose to become a pastor. That is to say, he never practiced his profession as a mechanical engineer before going into full-time ministry.<\/p>\n<p>Being born in Niger State, Isaac was surrounded by mostly Muslims. However, during his younger years, some missionaries were coming to the northern states to preach the gospel and message of salvation to people via crusades and seminars. So, it happened that a group of them came at that time and organized one of such crusades in his neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>Isaac participated in the crusade sessions and was greatly influenced by those men of God. The rest become history. In 1985, in a bid to acquire deeper knowledge of God and his ministry, Isaac attended Soul Clear Bible College. He revealed that the Lord spoke to him in a vision, after which he started out his ministry.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CgHC4xnF8WR\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

God First Ministry<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>According to the Lagos preacher, he started out his ministry, God First Ministry, also known as Illumination Assembly, Lekki Light Centre (LLC), with just 50 kobo in a boys quarter in Minna offered to him by a family friend.<\/p>\n<p>As the population of the congregation kept on increasing rapidly, he rented a two-bedroom apartment. Yet, it was not long after that the place stopped containing them, and he moved into a larger building still in Minna. Finally, Bishop Isaac relocated to Lagos when he received an instruction from God to move the church to the southwest part of Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>At first, he established in Surulere and subsequently moved to the Ajah area of Lagos, where the church currently has its headquarters. Today, Bishop Isaac Idahosa&#8217;s church boasts thousands of congregations. The church is described as a &#8220;Celebrity Church&#8221; and is said to be worth over N3 billion. The magnificent church auditorium is located along Addo-Langbasa Road, Ajah, Lagos State, Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>Bishop Isaac is also a writer and has three albums to his credit, one of which is <em>Don\u2019t give Up<\/em> &#8211; his debut album. Due to his pentecostalism and effective evangelism, he was recognized with the UN Peace Ambassadorial award for his immense contributions to human development and peaceful coexistence. Moreso, the preacher was recently decorated as a Mayor of the Lagos State Traffic Management (LASTMA) by the Lagos State Government.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>He was not a Politician Before He was Unveiled as Kwankwaso&#8217;s Running Mate<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_76432\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76432\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-76432 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/running-mate.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/running-mate.jpg 700w, https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/running-mate-260x143.jpg 260w, https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/running-mate-696x382.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-76432\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newsdiaryonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/IMG_20220718_131454_796-768x337-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">image source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Former governor of Kano State, <a href=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/facts-rabiu-kwankwaso\/\">Rabiu Kwankwaso<\/a>, is a presidential candidate for the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).
