Prophet Hezekiah O. Oladeji
By 'Gbenga Bankole (Akure)
The General Evangelist of Christ Apostolic Church, Nigeria and Overseas, Prophet Hezekiah O. Oladeji has said there is a need for the legacies of the founding fathers of the Church to be rebuilt.
The renowned Prophet stated that the founding fathers were not after earthly gains, but gave everything they had for the growth of the Church.
He cited an example of how the first President of the Church, Pastor (Oba) I.B. Akinyele and first General Evangelist, Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola gave everything they had for Christ Apostolic Church, without leaving anything behind for their families.
Prophet Hezekiah who noted this on Tuesday October 4, 2022 at Ondo State Mega Crusade said "I have vowed to work with all my strength for the Church, even if I'm retired today I will continue to work for the Church."
According to him, there are Ministers of God who are stealing from the church's treasury and are still ministering on the pulpit, saying that they will get all their rewards here on earth and heaven is forbidden for them.
While speaking on the theme of the programme which is "Lift Up Your Head oh ye Gates", Prophet Hezekiah said it is the King of glory that does great things.
"The King of Glory has power that can't be compared. David gave a good description of Him. He is the Mighty in battle and in war. The King of glory is the God of the three Hebrews. He followed them into the furnace. He blocked the mouth of a lion for Daniel. He is the God that brings rest and grants victory," he stated.
Prophet Hezekiah illustrated how a monster ran away from Apostle Babalola in a forbidden forest that is now CAC Oke Isegun in Efon, saying the reason monsters can't run away from most is because they have not surrendered all to the King of glory.
He further said the desire of the King of Glory, Jesus, is to live in the heart of His people, but He can only live in a place that is clean, not unclean heart.
Many gave their lives to Christ when altar call was made by the General Evangelist.
