CAVEAT
Some aspects of Balogun’s theology are very concerning, particularly his endorsement of the Word of Faith prosperity gospel. His personal testimony didn’t add up for me, and I find myself disagreeing with much of his charismatic theology. Balogun's claims of receiving direct revelations or ‘words from the Lord’—including audible messages—strike me as highly questionable. I am not a cessationist, but having been previously involved with charismania for some years, I have witnessed numerous failed prophecies of the kind expressed by Balogun. (1 John 4:1). The various "prophecies" given to Howard Conder are a clear case in point. I have observed that charismania attracts those who assume an automatic right to paid ministry and to financial support from other Christians. However, many are not qualified to lead and do not teach sound doctrine. (James 3:1; 1 Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9; 1 Peter 5:1-3). The Apostle Paul modelled a very different lifestyle. He primarily supported himself through his trade as a tentmaker, enabling him to carry out his ministry without placing a financial burden on the churches he founded. In the New Testament, every recorded collection of money is explicitly designated for the poor. (1 Corinthians 16:1). Paul’s commitment to self‑support, combined with his dedication to the gospel, set a clear example for other believers—highlighting the importance of integrity, responsibility, and ethical conduct in ministry.
I question why Balogun stayed at RTV for so many years, having been aware of their extreme wickedness and various abuses for such a long time. The scriptures instruct believers to stay away from wolves and false teachers. (2 Thessalonians 3:6; 1 Corinthians 5:11; Romans 16:17-18). I assume that Balogun would still be at RTV now if he had not been made redundant. Balugun's salvation is a matter between him and the Lord, and I am not questioning that here. However, I do have serious concerns, and in my view, he faces the need for considerable personal reflection if indeed he is in the faith. (2 Corinthians 13:3). Having said all that, I believe Balogun's first-hand accounts of various shocking abuses perpetrated by the Conders. Ideally, I would like to see this information confirmed by two or three witnesses. (2 Corinthians 13:1). Hopefully, these videos will go a long way to thoroughly expose the leadership of Revelation TV and will bring many of their followers to their senses.
I think time stamps would have been a good way to go with these videos. If that had been done, it would have been easier for those of us who wanted to escape the charismania and simply access RTV facts. Each video is between two and a half to three hours long, and realistically, it is unlikely that many will watch for that length of time.

The above video is probably worth watching from the 01:50 mark if you want to avoid the charismania.

It was interesting to note that £4million (including equipment) of viewers' donations were swallowed up by Conder's Spanish studios. This is the first time I have heard a specific figure mentioned.
Most of this video is worth watching. However, beware of Balogun's endorsement of false teacher Andrew Wommack. Wommack is widely recognised as a teacher within the Word of Faith prosperity gospel stream of charismatic theology.

What went wrong with Revelation TV?
The beginning of this video was taken up with global politics. RTV information begins at about 0:50 minutes.
What is Revelation TV trying to hide?
Balogun's further endorsement of false teachers:The 700 Club—particularly during Pat Robertson’s tenure—has long been linked to Word of Faith prosperity teachings, and it continues to promote that false gospel today.
Because many of his prophecies failed and his ministry lacked the kind of accountability scripture requires, I do not regard Kim Clement’s ministry and prophetic activity as authentic.
