Ile-Oluji for Christ Ministry (IFCM) started 30 years ago, in 1993 after the Lord ministered to Pastor Gbenga Adegbenro and other brethren including Pastor Wole Oladiyun, Mrs. Adun Akinyemiju, Pastor Johnson Oriade, Pastor Sunday Akinmoladun, Pastor Tosin Akinboun and others, to raise intercessors for the land in genuine repentance, fasting and prayers for many days. This gave birth to a city-wide crusade, with the theme Jesus Reigns.

Years later, Pastor Johnson Oriade was led by the Holy Spirit to coordinate the affairs of the movement which metamorphosed into a ministry known as Ile-Oluji for Christ Ministry.
