LAGOS, NIGERIA – Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo, founder of Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC), has spoken about the importance of building a lasting family legacy, revealing that he has already purchased houses for his grandchildren.
The cleric made the disclosure while sharing his personal journey from humble beginnings to financial stability. According to him, faith, determination and what he described as God’s provision enabled him to overcome generational limitations and create a more secure future for his family.
Speaking to his audience, Pastor Ashimolowo said he has deliberately invested in the next generation of his family. He revealed that five of his grandchildren, all under the age of 12, already own houses individually.
“I’ve bought houses for my grandchildren,” the preacher said, explaining that the decision forms part of his long-term plan to leave behind a meaningful legacy for his descendants.
Ashimolowo also encouraged people to think beyond immediate financial needs and focus on creating lasting value for future generations. He said wealth should not only be accumulated but managed in a way that benefits children and grandchildren.
Extra News Nigeria reports that the pastor’s remarks have generated conversations on social media, where many users praised his emphasis on long-term planning and generational wealth. Others noted that his experience reflects the importance of financial discipline, investment and succession planning.
Family finance experts have consistently advised individuals to prepare for the future through responsible investments, estate planning and wealth preservation. They say passing assets to future generations can help provide financial stability, although the approach depends on each family’s circumstances and resources.
Pastor Ashimolowo, who has led KICC for several decades, frequently teaches on leadership, entrepreneurship and personal development alongside his Christian ministry. His latest comments have renewed discussions about the role of financial planning in building enduring family legacies.
As reactions continue online, many Nigerians say the cleric’s testimony highlights the value of thinking beyond personal success and making deliberate efforts to create opportunities for future generations. His remarks have also contributed to broader conversations about wealth creation, inheritance and responsible financial stewardship.
