The General Superintendent of Christ Apostolic Church, Nigeria and Overseas, Pastor Emmanuel O. Odejobi has told the newly commissioned DCC, Zonal and District Superintendents to beware of individualism and self-centeredness, urging them to mind their conducts and be faithful.

Pastor Odejobi, who represented the President of CAC Nigeria and Overseas, Pastor Samuel O. Oladele stated this while ministering on the topic "Superintendency" at the commissioning of new DCC, Zonal and District Superintendents in Ikeji-Arakeji on Wednesday February 16, 2022. Three DCC Superintendents, 39 Zonal Superintendents and 259 District Superintendents were commissioned after going through three days intentive training organised by the church authority.

He also urged the newly commissioned Superintendents to beware of taking administrative matters with levity. 

Defining the word "Superintendency", the General Superintendent said it is the state of being a Superintendent; while a Superintendent is someone to oversee the works, walks and welfare of others. 

Pastor Odejobi also implored them to be watchful of the way they walk, adding that they must walk according to the instructions of God and the church authority. 

"You're now indepted not only to the headquarters you are, but to all assemblies or districts under you. You must have the fear of God and the fear of the church authority. You must work in the beauty of Christ holiness. Previously you might have been working according to your will, but from now you must be working according to God's will and the church authority," he stated.

According to him, the newly commissioned Superintendents are to administer the church of God towards growth.

He added that; "you must ensure our glorious church grow the more. We thank God for CAC, but we haven't grown to the level God expects from us. You must oversee yourself, your home and the church. There are ministers who can't oversee themselves and their homes. You must ensure your growth and the growth of your District, Zone or DCC."

He said the Superintendents are expected to bring spiritual, administrative, numerical and financial growth to the church. 

The Cleric added that, "how can you make the church of God to grow when you refuse growing? There are lifeless District, Zonal and DCC Superintendents. Interact with other denominations. Don't belittle what you want to gain from them."
