The Call to Ministry
At the heart of his life's work is his divine calling into ministry. As Lead Pastor of Word of Faith Chapel in Abuja, Pastor Zac is committed to teaching the Word with clarity, raising believers in faith, and guiding people into a deeper, more practical walk with God. His ministry is marked by a message of faith, purpose, gratitude, and total dependence on God — with a strong emphasis on living a life that reflects Christ in both character and results.
Music Ministry
Music remains a powerful expression of his calling. Family accounts recall that as young as four years old, he would confidently offer to sing — already demonstrating a gift that would become a channel of ministry. During his secondary school years, he began composing songs for his father's church and became the first choir master of the church's Lagos branch.
In the year 2000, he released his first music project titled "Ogo Foruko Oluwa" (Glory be to the name of the Lord), marking the beginning of his recording ministry. Today, Pastor Zac is recognised as a gospel music minister whose sound blends contemporary African expressions with deep, spirit-filled worship. One of his notable releases, "Mo Mope Mi Wa Fun Baba" ("I Bring My Thanksgiving to the Father"), has reached thousands of listeners.
A gifted multi-instrumentalist, he plays the keyboard, guitar, drums, and saxophone — an expression of his deep connection to music and his commitment to excellence in ministry.
"Dr. Zacchaeus Akinadewo's life is a reflection of divine purpose in action — a man who understands that true success is measured by obedience to God's call."
