Ministry

He started as a Pastor at the Rhema Chapel alongside his younger brother, Victor Adeyemi. At Rhema Chapel, Pastor Sam served as Director of Pastoral Care and Minister in Charge before he was transferred to a branch in Lagos.

Relocating to Lagos, Pastor Sam Adeyemi felt his ministry was stagnated. So in April 1994, he decided to go on a prayer and fasting program with his wife. His prayers were answered in July 1994, after he got a clear instruction from God to move to the next level of ministry, where he would be a teacher of biblical success principles. He would reach his audience via radio, television, tapes, publications and seminars. Also, he would establish a church that would help people discover and release their potentials. Sam Adeyemi got the vision for Success Power International and Daystar Christian Center on the same day.
