When you see a man always relaxed and in his best element at all times, when you see his top notch performance at all he does, then know that something is giving him absolute rest in this life.
Pastor Korede Komaiya can be said to have won himself a jackpot in the person of the cherubic, gentle and ever loving Pastor Esther Omotayo Komaiya.
Only few women are this skilled at recognizing and attending to the deepest needs of a man with a burning passion for God and His kingdom friends, if you have ever witnessed Pastor Korede Komaiya at work, then you have seen a kingdom machine. He drives ministry with every fiber of faith present in his being. At every given time, he is one and the same with his vision for reforming, rebuilding and restoring humanity and the planet earth back to glory, honor and dignity via raising influencers and he is hard at it.
How do you catch up with a moving train? But Pastor Esther Komaiya has been catching up for over twenty seven years of marriage with a skilled hand and a dedicated heart that is peculiar only to true help meets.
Many see her present glory and are tempted to be envious at the glitz and the glamour, but they need to realize that there has been one long hard story, a story of seeing ahead of the initial lack-lustre look of the young man at the then Ogun State University who came with a straight forward request that she is his wife..”Just like that!”, and expected her to go pray and return with an inevitable “yes” answer. “What audacity!” she had said to herself after he left her hostel that day. But “yes” she said, not knowing that she was agreeing to a journey to the altar at a no-budget wedding (low budget would have been too honorable a classification), with relatives and foes mocking silently at what seemed like brazen naivety of two fantasizing Christians.
She boldly followed this seeming fantasy into the deserts of Chad and Mali, as her Pastor husband was being posted from one location to another under Winners Chapel.
They endured , they went at it with raw faith, trusting in God for wisdom and resources. Can there really still be women who won’t mind that there was but only a mattress for furniture, no curtains on the windows, having to home school a child for lack of a proper English speaking school nearby, (if there was, they probably wouldn’t have been able to afford it then), or what woman will look on while her husband sowed almost all the cash allowances available as seed for the development of the church, while they had to re-order the ration at home? Well, Pastor Esther did, and more. She is, on her own part a praying machine, a caring wife and mother with a trademark touch of the Holy Ghost, a kingdom philanthropist in her own right and an ardent soul winner.
It all began to pay off! Anywhere they were posted to, with a dint of faith and hard work, and a heavy dose of giving up so much, they delivered high capacity congregations where they once met almost empty churches. On and on they went, until, coming from a posting to Botswana, God began to speak to her husband about a new work for the Lord. With patience they waited for the right time, and today, the testimony stands fully at Warri, Delta State, Nigeria: The Master’s Place International Church, one of the fastest growing congregations in the world.
She has come a long way, and together with her husband, she is still recording exploits for the kingdom. The long nights without her husband by her side, while he’ll be up all night in the presence of The Lord, interceding for the multitude of souls that we now see today. The days of going without the meals she really wanted, the days her husband took a hold of all her jewelry and sowed them as a seed so that church services could be financed; she endured it all. Many would love to be in her shoes today, cruising along with the dazzling Pastor KK, but wait. Can you go through all that she went through? Behind this angelic beauty, there has been raw, grueling, yet amazingly rewarding angelic duty.
Pastor Esther Omotayo Komaiya is more than just a woman. She is her husband’s precious jackpot!
