The President of Christ Apostolic Church, Nigeria and Overseas, Pastor Samuel O. Oladele has urged leaders of the Church to justify their positions by doing the right thing.
Pastor Oladele stated this on Friday January 21, 2022 while giving the "President's Closing Remarks" at the grand finale of the first batch of Pastors' Leadership Retreat organised for Principal Officers and Regional Superintendents of the Church which held at the College of Post Graduate Studies, Joseph Ayo Babalola University, Ikeji-Arakeji, Osun State.
The well packaged programme that all participants commended was organised by the authority of CAC Nigeria and Overseas, and it's part of the 3-point agenda of the present administration.
Pastor Oladele told all the church leaders in attendance that being a leader is not about occupying a seat of authority, but standing for truth.
While urging them on being orderly, the Cleric said: "If God can bring orderliness out of disorderliness, then we must know that there is so much of disorderliness in the Church. As leaders, we have no excuse not to be orderly. We have been taught to bring out orderliness. Let us go out to create light out of darkness. Having being through this programme, I want to implore you to go back to our regions and be actively in charge."
The President also stated that "at times we do God's work as if we are not answerable to anyone. We have been put in charge and in care of Christ's own wives. He left us to the care of His wives. But some of us have raped Christ's wives forgetting we will give account of our stewardship."
He noted that having gone through this kind of training, the participants have no excuse to commit any error.
Pastor Oladele however appreciated all the resource persons for their support towards the success of the training.
The second batch of the training holds from Monday 24 to Friday 28, 2022 in Ikeji-Arakeji, Osun State and it is organised for Director of Christian Education, Director of Music, Director of Publicity, Director of Youth Affairs, Vice Chancellor and Registrar of JABU, Chairman of Research & Development, Provost of CACTS, Coordinators of CACTS Satellite Campuses/ Faith Home Ede, Assistant Director of Missions, Assistant Director of Music, Assistant Director of Youth Affairs, Marketing Officer, Chairman of Investment Committee, Chairman of CAC Press, Chairman of CAC Television, etc.
