20 YEARS AFTER STATE RECOGNITION, BISHOP MIKE BAMIDELE STILL WAXING STRONG IN GRACE AND IMPACT

Ilesa, Osun State — Victory Life Ministries International (VLMI) has marked a significant milestone as it reflects on a historic moment when its President and Founding Bishop/Overseer, Bishop Mike Bamidele, was formally recognised by the Osun State Government with a Merit Award—an honour bestowed about 20 years ago in acknowledgment of his outstanding contributions to faith, leadership, and societal development.

Two decades later, the grace upon Bishop Mike Bamidele’s life and ministry continues to shine with increasing glory, bearing fruits that many describe as “beyond comprehension.” The recognition by the state government has proven to be not merely ceremonial, but prophetic—affirming a journey of expanding influence, integrity, and impact.

With its Administrative World Headquarters in Ilesa, Osun State, Victory Life Ministries International has grown into a multifaceted ministry, running diverse outreaches that touch lives across Osun State and far beyond Nigeria’s borders. Through spiritual empowerment, leadership development, media evangelism, and community-focused initiatives, the ministry has remained consistent in its mandate of transforming lives with the Word of God.

A major pillar of the ministry’s outreach is its flagship radio broadcast, “Word of Victory” on Radio Oro Isegun, which reaches millions of listeners across communities, counties, countries, and continents. The programme has become a trusted voice of hope, faith, and practical wisdom, drawing testimonies from listeners around the world whose lives have been positively transformed.

As Victory Life Ministries International celebrates this landmark season, the focus remains firmly on gratitude to God for sustained grace and on renewed commitment to the future. The ministry is calling on family members, friends, partners, sons, and daughters of the commission to join hands in expanding the reach of the Word of Victory, ensuring that more lives encounter truth, restoration, and purpose.

“This is a celebration of grace, testimonies, and divine faithfulness,” the ministry noted, “and a reminder that the assignment continues.”

As the legacy of Bishop Mike Bamidele continues to unfold, one message resounds clearly from Victory Life Ministries International:

Victory is Yours.
