God instructed me not to cut my hair - Jimmy Odukoya says

God instructed me not to cut my hair - Jimmy Odukoya says

The Senior Pastor of The Fountain of Life Church, Jimmy Odukoya, says that God has instructed him never to cut off his dreadlocks. 

 

During a recent sermon, Jimmy said he sought God’s guidance on his appearance before resuming pastoral duties and God clearly told him not to cut his hair.

 

He said that to confirm this message, he asked his sister, Tolu Odukoya-Ijogun, to pray about it and she received the same instruction, validating Jimmy’s experience.

 

“Before I came back, one of the things I asked the Lord was whether or not I should cut my hair. And the Lord told me not to cut my hair. I knew what God had said to me so I told my sister to go pray and that God will speak to her. She goes back and told me I wasn’t supposed to cut my hair, to which I replied, ‘I know, because God already told me’'.

A couple of weeks ago, someone had come to see me all the way from Zimbabwe just to come to church. I said please bring the lady in and she begins to tell me her story.

She says, ‘People think I’m crazy. I told everybody I am coming to Nigeria for the next three to four weeks. I’m just coming to church’.

She says, ‘It was 2016, I was in New York, it was Thanksgiving and I had a vision, it felt so real. In this vision, I see you with your hair and you’re speaking to me and I have been dealing with somethings in my life.

There was this dog on my shoulder. I knew the dog represented the weight I was carrying and you had this long sword. You began speaking to me and it looked like thunder and lightning was coming out of the sword and it burnt the dog into ashes. And you began to declare over me and gave certain instructions’.

She said, ‘Fast forward 2025, after that vision I went through a tough break-up, I lost everything in a divorce. My ex took the house.’ She said, ‘Everything I worked for… It was a tough time. To compound issues, my mom got sick and I watched her die in my arms’.

She said she was trying to find God so she went on YouTube to hear sermons. And all of a sudden my preaching popped up.

And she said, ‘You don’t understand, because when I had this vision, I didn’t know you existed. The person I saw, I did not know it was a real person. So when I saw the man from the vision with a long hair I screamed. I didn’t know any pastor would have long hair.

Here’s what’s crazy, in 2016, I didn’t have my hair. The God who sees, hears and knows, knew at some point  in February 2025, one of His children will have to see a man preaching. Guess what? If He did not ask me to keep my hair, I would have cut it.

And when I popped up on the screen, she would have seen me with no hair and it would have meant nothing. God was making me keep my hair to save a life.”

      @Uromtus Uromtah it obvious you have never heard God speak to you audibly (it's the sweetest experience) or through visions and trances. It's alright though, but you see that God's audible voice or encounters in visions or trances is something I pray you experience not once but continually. When you experience it you will understand.....

    Jimmy boy, we are not concerned about your hair, there is nothing illegal about it but is it beneficial for the sake of others, it’s a personal choice and long hair is not a sin. Claiming that God said doesn’t make it more authentic, you like it like that so keep it.

    BS from the son of one of our pulpit bandits, that isn't natural dreadlocks they are artificial man made locks, quit fooling yourself believing that you're fooling anyone. What you do with your hair is your business and you don't need to lie about it!

    Until the same action against the fake native doctors in Anambra state is expanded to include those claiming to be man of God, their crimes will not end. Let the government invite the so-called men of God the wealthy, rich, old and young to perform the miracle on a total stranger or be arrested. These men operating private businesses in name of Church are the synonymous to fake native doctors. They don't preach repentance again but wealth for themselves. There are more troubles and crimes among Christians in Nigeria now that we have more Churches than when we had fewer Churches. I'm a Catholic and I don't go seeking for prophesy from any man or woman. If you do good, good will follow you but if you do bad ask God for forgiveness.
