The long awaited Duty Commencement Service of Christ Apostolic Church Worldwide General Evangelist, Prophet Hezekiah Oladeji will hold today Saturday 12th of May, 2018 at Ikeji-Arakeji, Osun state.
Prophet Hezekiah who was announced as CAC Worldwide General Evangelist late last year resumed officially on the 1st of January, 2018. He succeeded the renowned world Evangelist, Prophet S.K Abiara who retired after serving for many years.
CAC NEWS gathered that lovers of Prophet Hezekiah in the nooks and crannies of the country and across the globe are already trooping in their numbers to Ikeji-Arakeji for the service which will start by 11am.
Meanwhile, Clerics and members of the church have been sending their greetings and advice to the General Evangelist. These were sent through the WhatsApp and Telegram groups of CAC NEWS.
Their wishes and advice are captured below:
Pastor Olu Olorunpomi, CAC Eternal Praise Alakuko, Lagos
Dear Prophet Hezekiah,
I'm not usually comfortable with congratulating people when given an assignment like you have received. Most people see the privilege and perks attached to the office while I see the requirements, the demands, the sacrifice, the unrealistic expectations of people, the twists, the politicking that work against sincere efforts to raise the stakes.
Today, I pray that the God of our fathers will help you beyond human imaginations. May your tenure as the CAC General Evangelist position the church in her rightful place in God's kingdom and in the comity of churches in this nation.
Sir, please beware of people who surround you. And let your communication be clear to people. Since you're not infallible, let it be your hallmark to apologize promptly when necessary.
Above all, my daily and greatest prayer for you is to be able to maintain a healthy balance between obedience to God and loyalty to the church authorities.
While I would have loved to say welcome to work, permit me to join others to say congratulations.
Pastor I.D.O Akinpelu, CAC His Fame House, Ipana Ipaja Lagos
I join the millions of mammoth ministers and members of CAC home and abroad to wish our father Prophet Hezekiah the newly appointed General Evangelist happy commencement of service.
I wish him successful tenure and prayed for the return of God's face, repetition of God's fame and revival as in the days of our Patriarch in his time.
I know him to be a man of unusual humility.
I see him as Apostle Babalola of our time. I there by humbly advice that he should replicate Baba Apostle holistically, both in prayer, power and principle.
Pastor OLOGUNAYE-JACOBS, Assembly Pastor, CAC, House Of Judah, Ibadan, Nigeria.
Hallelujah!
Let me wish the grace found General Evangelist of Christ Apostolic Church Worldwide, Prophet Oluboye Hezekiah OLADEJI, a big congratulations and pray that God will through him do great and mighty wonders in moving our church Christ Apostolic Church, Worldwide and the entire body of Christ forward in Jesus' name.
My candid advice to the great prophet of God is to set his feet on the path of holiness and righteousness and shun favoritism in all he'll be doing and to always disseminate what God told and He's telling him to the people. Though it may be jettisoned, but later will be referred to and embraced.
He should also see himself as the one sent by God to come as God's mouth piece to rescuing this nation from the clutches of the blood sucking political and religious leaders.
He should see himself as the prophets Elijah, Elisha, Isaiah, Jeremiah, John the Baptist, and Apostle Peter of this generation. Apostle JOSEPH AYÒ BABALOLA, didn't see himself as less to the power that be in government then though respected leadership but not to be cowed by the government of his days and so should the new General Evangelist sees himself.
And finally, the area of open air crusade and church planting should be of utmost priority and regulation of those who have planted, to shun schism in the body of Christ. Sir, have my prayers (Psalm 20) always in Jesus' name.
Happy celebration. Long live Christ Apostolic Church Worldwide!

Church planting and evangelism should be a focus in Christ Apostolic Church. Revivalists should stop turning revival programmes into fund raising.

Deacon Michael Oluseyi Akande , CAC (Victory Land), Ikotun District Headquarters, Ikotun Lagos
Sir,
Blessed be the name of the Lord who called and ordained you for His purpose. May His grace uphold and enable you to fulfill the purpose of your calling. We pray God empower you to use this opportunity to pursue the restoration of this mission.
Let the ministries of Prophet and Evangelist be distinct and not be seen as lower cadre to Pastor. Also, the revival/crusade programs in this mission should aim at winning people's lives for Christ and not their purses.
I pray that the church look into the welfare of her ministers; especially those who work in financial challenged duty posts. Let the word from God be your anchor and not word from men.
And if possible, with the support of General Superintendent and Administrative Department of the Mission, let the district structuring base on geographical location. (e.g. a District should not have an assembly in another local government or state).
The Church is marching on, the gate of hell can never prevail. Congratulations sir

Congratulations to our father in the Lord, Prophet Hezekiah on his Duty Commencement Service as the General Evangelist, Christ Apostolic Church. I believe that this is God's ordination, because no one receives anything except he be given from heaven.
Sir, I pray that the longtime awaited revival that God has promised us shall begin to manifest in your time. We await great evangelism and outreaches with miracles, signs and wonders as you depend on the directives of the Holy Spirit per time.
