The authority of Christ Apostolic Church Worldwide at the weekend formally inaugurated Adelaja Region and inducted Pastor S.N Maichibi as the Regional Superintendent.
Adelaja which is the largest region in terms of landscape is made up of Kano, Katsina, Jigawa, Adamawa, Taraba, Kebbi, Sokoto, Zamfara, Borno, Yobe and Gombe states.
The authority of the church was represented by the General Superintendent, Pastor S.O Oladele and General Secretary, Pastor E.E Mapur.
The General Superintendent noted that the title by which any individual is called doesn't matter to God, adding that being a man or woman after His heart is what matters to Him.
"The title you are called does not matter to God if you're not a man after His heart. The best title you can receive as a child of God is 'a man or woman after God's heart.' There is a difference between being anointed and being a man after God's heart. King Saul and King David were anointed, but David was a man after God's heart. As the General Superintendent of CAC Worldwide, I can use my key to elevate you, but if you are not a man after God's heart, everything is vanity," Pastor Oladele stated.
He restated that so many ministers want to be Regional Superintendents, DCC Superintendents, Zonal Superintendents, District Superintendents, but how many of them want to become a man after God's heart?
The Clergy stated that what we need in CAC Worldwide these days is not people who have the knowledge in their heads, but people who have the knowledge of the word of God in their hearts and who can put it into action.
He concluded that we need to fight the giant of god-fatherism, injustice, tribalism, favoritism and nepotism in CAC Worldwide.
