"He is selling his church and other properties in an effort to settle outstanding debts and address ongoing concerns."

Badu Kobi addresses claims of selling church
Speaking before his congregation during church service on Sunday, May 10, 2026, Prophet Kobi noted that he had seen the claims about him on social media and that he initially did not want to address the speculation.
He noted that he was only going to address the matter publicly based on the instructions from God.
He said:
"I have seen a lot going on on social media, but I have never reacted to it. Why? Social media did not send me. God sent me, and whatever I am doing, I am doing for God, not for social media."
"My judgement is from above, not from men. So, when God has not told me to respond to a matter, I don't talk because it is his word you speak, not your word."
Badu Kobi debunked the claims of certain individuals who portrayed themselves as the co-founders of his church.
He stated that despite his and others' involvement in building Glorious Wave International church, its original owner was God.

The prophet clarified that the church did not have any co-founder and that he held the role of its leader and not the founder.
He said:
"If you see somebody come on social media calling the person or whatever a co-founder, there is no co-founder in Glorious Wave. Glorious Wave's vision was given to me and then there are people because every vision you operate on earth, there must be a document."
"So you need somebody to aid you, but the owner is Jesus. So there is no co-founder. I am not even the founder. I am the leader. A founder cannot die. Is the one who founded the earth alive or dead? He is alive, so a founder cannot die."
"If you are a founder, you must live. So, I am not a founder for anybody to be a co-founder."
Badu Kobi also hinted at taking legal action against any individual who would publicly claim to be a co-founder of his church.
The man of God noted that he wanted to just issue a disclaimer and that he would fully address the claims about the alleged church sale another time.
He also hinted at taking action against bloggers disseminating false claims about the ownership of his church.
