It was a day of celebrating a living legend at the retirement and birthday ceremony of Prophet Moses Adelola Olubode Aladeolu (Baba Ori Oke) organized by Christ Apostolic Church, Mountain of Mercy, Ojoo, Ibadan.
Having served wholeheartedly over the years in the ministry and as the planter of the famous prayer mountain in Ibadan, Prophet Aladeolu was celebrated in a grand style at the programme held at the worship auditorium of the mountain on Saturday May 29, 2021.
The programme had in attendance the President of CAC Worldwide, Pastor Samuel O. Oladele, represented by the Superintendent of CAC Iyemetu Districts' Coordinating Council (DCC), Pastor Ben Akanmu.
While ministering at the programme on the topic "Be Thankful to God", Pastor Akanmu said we need to acknowledge the goodness of God because we were created to praise and worship Him (God).
He however said that we are not created to live a trouble free life and everyone must learn from Prophet Aladeolu who despite facing many challenges in the ministry, endured till the end.
According to him, to be thankful is a divine command, noting that anyone that allows sadness into his or her life will not be thankful.
Pastor Akanmu urged everyone, particularly the children of Prophet Aladeolu to emulate him.
Prophet Aladeolu said, while speaking, that he has accepted Jesus since he was young, noting that he never accepted Jesus because he wanted to become a Prophet.
He revealed that he was a farmer but it got to a time God called him and ordered him to stop the work, which he obeyed.
Prophet Aladeolu explained how the journey was, thanking God for sustaining him till the end.
