Pastor Korede Komaiya, Founder of The Master’s Place International Church, has credited divine mercy for his survival after doctors once predicted he would not live beyond 35.

The Warri-based preacher, who turns 55 on September 4, made the revelation in an Instagram post on Wednesday, sharing new photographs and reflecting on his life’s journey.

“My gratitude knows no bounds. I saw bends that were like ends until God turned things around. I have escaped death over and over again. I was told medically that I wouldn’t live to be 35 years old, and now I’m just a few days away from 55,” Komaiya wrote.

The clergyman described his life as a testimony of resilience, saying no opposition or betrayal had been able to derail his destiny. “I am a product of mercy. God always comes through for me, no matter the battle or my mistakes,” he added.

Komaiya also reflected on the impact of his ministry, noting how God has used him to support the vulnerable and disadvantaged. “Today, God has made me a father to orphans, a succour to widows, an eye to the blind, hope to the hopeless, and light to those in darkness. Only God deserves all the glory. Help me thank God!” he wrote.

Pastor Komaiya established The Master’s Place International Church in 2007 and today leads the ministry alongside his wife, Esther.
