Sam Adeyemi Pastoral Ministry

He started as a Pastor at the Rhema Chapel alongside his younger brother – Victor Adeyemi. While at Rhema Chapel, Sam served as the Director of Pastoral Care and Minister in Charge before he was transferred to a branch in Lagos.

The Birth Of Daystar Christian Centre

On his relocation to Lagos, Pastor Sam Adeyemi felt his ministry was stagnated. So in April 1994, he decided to go on a prayer and fasting program with his wife. His prayers were answered in July 1994, after he got a clear cut instruction from God.

God told him it was time to move to the next level of ministry, where he would be a teacher of biblical success principles. He would reach his audience via radio, television, tapes, publications and seminars. Also, he would establish a church that would help people discover and release their potentials. Sam Adeyemi got the vision for Success Power International and Daystar Christian Center on the same day.

He first started teaching on the radio. Shortly after, on the 18th of November 1995, he established the Daystar Christian Centre.

Sam Adeyemi Quotes

“Faithfulness is a character trait, without the help of the spirit of God, it is difficult to be faithful.”

“Turning the focus from self to others is one of the greatest transformations in a leader’s life. Service is the essence of leadership.”

“You can’t pull the arm of your child to force them to grow, neither can you stretch a plant to grow. Only God has the power to make things grow, but we have the responsibility to ensure a healthy lifestyle…”

“One fact that separates great leaders from good leaders is the capacity for sacrifice.”

“Be real with those you lead. Don’t put up a perfect image. Be yourself and be human. Hypocrisy erodes a leader’s image.”

“You have to meet people where they are, in order to get them where you want them to be; you cannot truly care except you get into their world.”

“Choose your company carefully, because the people you keep close to you shape your thinking, most times unconsciously. You absorb their mindset and emotions. If you hang around negative people, then negativity would come to you.”
