The General Superintendent of Christ Apostolic Church, Worldwide, Pastor Samuel O. Oladele has said that there is no member of the church who should be guilty of apostolic legacies of the founding fathers of the Church.
He noted that the founding fathers lived a godly life worthy of emulation, saying that the same God that helped them is still alive and we can do the same.
Pastor Oladele said this while ministering on the topic "God of our Fathers be with us" at the Zonal Seminar 2020 organised by the Sunday School Department of CAC Oke-Alafia Efun Zone, Ibadan on Saturday February 22, 2020.
According to him, God helped the founding fathers of CAC to live righteously and stand for the truth, stating that we must emulate them.
While explaining the humility and brokenness lifestyle of the first President of the church, Oba (Pastor) Isaac Babalola Akinyele, the General Superintendent said it is not enough to read about the lifestyles of our founding fathers, we must also emulate them.
He said despite the fact that there were evil characters in their generation, our patriarchs stood for God till the end and God who helped them can help us to live consistent Christian life.
The Cleric said: "I have said it before and I will repeat it, no Ibadan, Ekiti or Ilesa man can make it to God's kingdom. It is only the redeemed of the Lord."
Prophets of this generation, according to Pastor Oladele, should stop taking pleasure in cursing their followers or members, saying that Moses ought to curse the Israelites for making him to sin against God which hindered him to get to the promise land, but he never cursed them.
