In an age dominated by noise, spectacle, and the relentless chase for public visibility, true spiritual foundations are almost always laid in the secret place. Few lives embody this paradox more vividly than that of Apostle Agbenyi Agbenyi, the visionary founder of Pistos International Intercessory Ministry.
Today, September 5, 2026, marks a momentous milestone as Apostle Agbenyi clocks 50 years of life. For over two decades, his ministry has operated as a spiritual watchtower, anchored in unbending consecration, daily devotionals, rigorous biblical grounding, and relentless intercession.
Through Pistos International Intercessory Ministry, countess lives, emerging leaders, families, and mission fields across nations have experienced deliverance and directional clarity.
Yet long before Pistos became a globally minded intercessory force, its founder spent years in absolute obscurity: fasting round the clock, reading whole libraries of theological classics alongside 40 chapters of scripture a day, and labouring in prayer for up to 12 hours daily under the mentorship of Dr. Pastor Paul Enenche at Dunamis International Gospel Centre.
From those intense formative crucibles in Area 1, Abuja, to an unbending seven-year divine mandate in the telecommunications and IT sector, Apostle Agbenyi’s trajectory is a case study in divine alignment, patience, and absolute surrender.
To commemorate his golden jubilee, Apostle Agbenyi took time with AkweyaTV CEO Odoh Diego Okenyodo to reflect on five decades of life, the hidden price of the intercessory calling, the dying art of true followership, and why he compares the ministry of intercession to the solitary life of an elite sniper. He also explains why he refused some foreign offers that could have seemed juicy in the eyes of the ordinary people, but why he declined them.
