About
Adegboye Samson
Adegboye Samson, popularly known as Nazarite was born in Lagos State. He grew up living in about seven states of western Nigeria, following his father's transfers. He was born to the family of the Late Evangelist Joel Adegboye and the Late Mrs. Christianah Adegboye. His father was a clergyman in the Celestial Church of Christ, who had served mainly in the sub-urban regions within the western states and the middle belt. His father was known for building up the local parishes spiritually through sound biblical teachings and physically through building or rebuilding a befitting auditorium for worship. His mother Christianah belongs to a musical team with the vision to produce gospel albums, but they could not actualize it. .
Adegboye Samson now seems to combine the ministry of his late parents as he serves as a teacher and a singer. Adegboye Samson discovered his gift of songwriting at about ten years old and his written song was used by the choir before he turned eleven. His parents had encouraged him to sing for the Lord at all times and would prefer him to sing other than being on the musical instruments.
He studied Industrial Chemistry at Adekunle Ajasin University, where he encountered God and became committed to living a new life in Christ. There he served as the Choir Coordinator, and along the line, received the revelation of the choir being a ministry. He cut the vision and pioneered the Nazarite Song Ministry. He was ordained in 2010 with six other members from the same Student Parish. But in 2014, he decided to move on alone as distance separated the founding members of the then-music ministry.
Adegboye Samson envisions a coming spiritual awakening in his local assembly (the Celestial Church of Christ and the White Garment Churches). He believes that his immediate circle of Christianity has suffered spiritual decline. The importance of sound teaching and a swift turn to spiritual music as a tonic and build-up towards Spiritual Reawakening has become dire. He is convinced that effective discipleship remains a key factor in the coming of the revival he envisions.
He looks forward to the fulfillment of the Scriptures;
- Heb. 8:11
He serves by effectively engaging in Bible study, training people on biblical hermeneutics and homiletics, and coordinating discipleship training. He also esteems the Music Ministry, produces musical albums, and hosts fellowship meetings. He aims to create an enabling atmosphere for a corresponding interaction between men and God as he sings. Adegboye Samson bagged his second degree from the prestigious West Africa Theological Seminary, in Masters of Divinity, and he is currently a candidate for the Doctor of Ministry at the same institution. He is married to Oluwadamilola Adegboye and blessed with two lovely children.
