It was indeed a celebration of God's faithfulness at the 39th anniversary of Christ Apostolic Church, Orisun-Ife Zonal Headquarters, Ibadan, Oyo State.
The anniversary Thanksgiving Service with the theme "The Almighty God" was held on Sunday August 25, 2019 and had in attendance the General Superintendent of CAC Worldwide, Pastor Samuel O. Oladele, spiritual father of the church, Pastor G.M. Makinwa (Retired), Sango DCC Superintendent, Pastor Agunbiade and other notable ministers of God.
While delivering his welcome address, the Zonal Superintendent of Orinsun-Ife Zone, Pastor J. Olu Makinwa appreciated God who performed wonders that cannot be fathomed and miracles that cannot be counted in the assembly in the last 39 years.
He acknowledged the undying vision and contributions of the spiritual father of the church, Pastor G.M. Makinwa.
"My profound gratitude also goes to our amiable father, the General Superintendent of CAC Worldwide, my mentor, Pastor Samuel O. Oladele and his entourage, who deemed it fit to make such a great sacrifice of attending today's anniversary at his own Church despite his busy schedule. On August 4, 2019 he marked his 50th anniversary in the ministry," Pastor Makinwa noted.
He noted that this year's anniversary is designed to celebrate The Almighty God as they have entered the journey to 40 years of existence as a church.
The Cleric stated that: "the identity of God as Almighty serves to establish the sense of awe and wonder we have toward Him and the realization that He is God above all things without limitation. This is important in view of how He is described in the Bible and to us as "I am the Lord" who appeared to our fathers and who is still working with us today."
The General Superintendent of CAC Worldwide, Pastor Oladele while ministering said God through His wonderful and overwhelming deeds has proven that He is Almighty.
He said everything about God and His creatures show that He's indeed Almighty.
While describing how God used the founding fathers of Christ Apostolic Church, Pastor Oladele said that the mighty move of God from the days of our fathers in CAC till this present moment shows that He's Almighty God.
According to him, God has given us so many heroes and heroines in our generation, but the church has failed to discover them.
"It is not that we don't have Godly gospel singers or Choirs in our society, but we have failed to discover them. One of our problems in Africa is that we don't cherish ourselves. We prefer to quote or reference foreign speakers or authors than people among us who have even done better things. That is why some would prefer to watch foreign football than our own local league.," Pastor Oladele said.
