Dr. Daniel Olukoya, the General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), along with his wife, Pastor Folashade Olukoya, have shared insights into how they first met and eventually got married during the 1980s.
In a video interview shared on his verified Instagram page on Saturday, Dr. Olukoya recounted their early connection. He revealed that their paths initially crossed through church music, particularly his dedication to teaching Negro Spirituals to church choirs.
“I was a collector of Negro Spirituals and often taught these songs to choirs. I had the opportunity to teach the choir at Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) Headquarters in Lagos,” he explained.
He added that Pastor Folashade was part of that choir and shared his passion for this style of music.
“She was a choir member and had a genuine love for Negro Spirituals,” he said.
Dr. Olukoya said their relationship strengthened after he returned from his PhD studies, when he began hosting youth revival meetings.
“After completing my PhD, I organized revival gatherings for young people. She was interested in these Holy Spirit-led meetings, which brought us closer together,” he noted.
He further shared that a spiritual confirmation convinced him that she was meant to be his life partner, prompting him to propose.
“Following the revelation that ‘she is your wife,’ I proposed. She prayed, observed a three-day dry fast, and came back with a positive response,” he said.
Dr. Olukoya also mentioned that his father supported the relationship, and they formally began courting.
“My father approved of the relationship, and that’s when we started courting,” he added.
He concluded by noting that their shared devotion to God and music played a central role in their bond.
“What truly brought us together was our mutual love for God and our passion for music to glorify Him,” he said.

@she_is_her_kind:”I have met this man couple of times at the airport so down to earth. Sir that girl that you prayed for at arrival hall decreeing “you shall not die’ walked through the shadow of death not long after. But God uses your prayers to keep me. Am whole again. The lump you decreed on has drastically gone down without surgery. One time, he was helping a woman who had I think two babies to hold one at the boarding gate. And she was wearing trouser oo. Omoh, this man is humble soooo humble. Thank you sir.”
