No word can best capture the joy of the day at the birthday ceremony of the planter of Christ Apostolic Church Adamimogo Assemblies and Coordinator of CAC Babalola Memorial Miracle Camp, Ikeji-Arakeji, Osun State, Prophet Sam Olu Alo on Tuesday May 25, 2021.
To commemorate the birthday, Prophet Alo dedicated his newly built house situated at opposite Oganganmodu Grammar School, Igbole Road, Ido-Ekiti, Ekiti State.
The event which had in attendance the Director of Missions, CAC Worldwide, Pastor C.S. Fasuyi and his wife, Mrs. Josephine Titilayo Fasuyi and some notable DCC and Zonal Superintendents in CAC started with the dedication of the house in the morning. The house was dedicated by the DCC Superintendent of CAC Agege Districts' Coordinating Council (DCC), Pastor Olu Eyebiokin.
While ministering at the event, Pastor Eyebiokin who took his text from John 3:27 which reads “A Man Can Receive Nothing, Except It Be Given Him From Heaven," said some people mismanaged what they were given from above and God is not happy about it.
He noted that this nation won't be in this situation if our leaders manage our resources very well.
He also said "we thank God despite the situation of the country, some people are able to bring their dreams to reality."
Pastor Eyebiokin congratulated Prophet Alo for dedicating himself to God for the fulfillment of His promises in his life.
He further said that he saw three things in the life of Prophet Alo which are obedience, humility and passion for the work of God.
The Cleric said God raised many Ministers in CAC but they were never known due to their lack of obedience, urging Prophet Alo to continue in his obedience.
"The Bible makes us to know that God honours the humble. Prophet Alo should know that what he has achieved today is not just by prayer, but by humility. Continue in it."
Pastor Eyebiokin said Prophet Alo believes so much in giving everything for the work of God, even when he is in need, urging him to increase his passion for the work of God.
Prophet Alo while speaking appreciated God who never allowed his yesterday to swallow his today.
According to him, Monday May 24, 2020 marked 25 years he left his (the venue of the event) village.
He noted that he left with one trouser and one shirt and decided that he would never come back until God has answered him.
"I appreciate God because today is my first day of celebration in this village and I have never celebrated my birthday here. My salvation helped the journey of my life. I urge you all to give your life to Christ," he stated.
The birthday ceremony started immediately after the house dedication ceremony. The Chairman of the event was Pastor Fasuyi who thanked God for the life of Prophet Alo.
He noted that he always supported his family on monthly basis with prayers.
The events had in attendance some notable gospel singers who thrilled the audience with their powerful and melodious songs. They include Evang (Mrs.) Bisi Alawuye Aluko, Elijah Akinade (popularly known as Olorunkosobe) and many others.
