Religious heads in a bid to get closer to God make different decisions and go the extra mile, maybe fast or not eat food cooked by fire for months which may later run into years, but an Ibadan based prophet’s decision may seem far fetched but he has maintained his resolve so far.

Wale Olagunju, founder of Divine Seed of God Chapel Ministry in Ojoo, Ibadan, Oyo state capital said God spoke to him in year 2000 that he should stop taking his bath, separate himself from his wife and not take soft drinks or wine which he has maintained for over 13 years.

In an exclusive interview with City People’s magazine, explains how he still looks good despite not having his bath for that long.

Read excerpts from the interview:

Some years back, you came out that God instructed you to stop having your bath, is it true, and are you still on it?

Yes, it is 13 years now. To be precise, early 2000, the Lord told me to stop taking my bath, separate myself from my wife, and that I should stop taking all these soft drinks and wines, and since then, diligently I have observed all these things. 

 

Whoever God wants to use for certain purposes on earth, there is a serious price attached to that calling, so I believe that is the price I am paying. As I am talking to you now, I have not taken my bath.If you want me to show you evidence, I will show you. If you doubt all I am saying; I have not taken my bath since 2001 till this moment.

 

How do you remain hygienic and healthy if you truly have not been taking your bath for 13 straight years?

 

That is the work of the Holy Spirit, I don’t have face towel, I don’t clean my body with anything.

 

So, what is your normal daily routine like?

 

I wake up, and I just wear my clothes, water has not touched my body since 2001. I know it sounds mysterious, when you look at Isaiah Chapter 20 verse 1 to 5, the Lord told Isaiah to walk barefooted, without wearing clothes, but just naked for 3 and half years. If the Lord Almighty should say, Wale Olagunju, do likewise, I am sure people will say the man is mad.
