"The stone which the builders refused has become the headstone of the corner," says the Scripture. This passage of the Scripture can be related to the life of the General Evangelist of Christ Apostolic Church, Worldwide, Prophet Hezekiah O. Oladeji.
At the ongoing 5-day "Ikirun City Power Crusade" organized by CAC Worldwide, the General Evangelist explained how he was left in a dustbin for 24 hours after his birth.
Prophet Hezekiah explained: "Before my mother gave birth to me there was a prophecy that she would give birth to a glorious child. I was born at exactly 6am. My mother was in a great pain after she gave birth to me because the placenta didn't come out."
"Due to this, the attention of the Doctor was shifted to my Mother. Till 6 O'Clock in the evening, the Doctor was still trying his best to ensure the placenta come out. I was totally forgotten and left in a dustbin because they thought I was dead. When it was around 10pm, an elderly man of God decreed that the evil people who were behind it should lose their power. Immediately he made the decree, my mother delivered the placenta."
"No one remembered me not to even talk of where I was. It was around 6am of the next day that they remembered that I was abandoned in a dustbin. They thought I was dead, but on getting to the dustbin, they were surprised that I was still breathing."
"Someone called me a messiah, but a particular Baba said "this is not a messiah, but he shall be called Hezekiah". That was why I was given the name Hezekiah to the glory of God."
