The Authority of Christ Apostolic Church, Nigeria and Overseas has inaugurated Christ Apostolic Church, Oke Iyanu, Church Avenue, Ilemba-Hausa, Ajangbadi, as a Zonal Coordinating Council, and Pastor M. O. Bamise inducted as the pioneer Zonal Superintendent.
The inauguration and induction service, which coincided with the world's celebration of Palm Sunday, held at the Church Auditorium on Sunday, March 24, 2024, attracted all and sundry who witnessed the occasion of appreciation and expression of love for the celebrants.
In what seems like a promotion for the Minister and advancement for the Church, the track record of Pastor Bamise and the testimonies that trailed him, point to hardwork and service unto God demonstrated at different capacities since he was born again.
That he served in many offices at Amuwo Odofin DCC and Pearce region, Lagos, may not be unconnected to the huge attendance of Clergymen and their wives, Elders and Deaconesses, and Church workers.
Regional Superintendent of Pearce region, Pastor S. O. Aluko who administered the inauguration and induction rites, charged the congregation and inductee on various responsibilities demanded of them as stated in the Bible.
In his sermon, Pastor Aluko exposited Acts 20:23-32, to charge the congregation and inducted Zonal Superintendent on "Taking Care of Yourself and the Church of God."
According to the Regional Superintendent, only God knows how many organizations have folded up in Lagos but the church cannot die, saying that the church is rather marching on and the gates of hell has no choice than to see God at work.
On the premise that the church begins from the family, the cleric explained that God cares for His church, and because He cares for His church, He always comes up with prepared and empowered caretakers.
Explaining how the inductee has gone through the process of salvation and served as a worker in different departments, the cleric described that God takes people through processes before He places them on the church.
"Are you processed? Are you being processed? You cannot just emerge because of educational advantage. All those processes are very good, but you must be processed by God. Everyone of us will continue to be processed till He comes. As you are seated, you are an instrument in the hands of God. There's work He has to do in our lives, families and businesses," the clergyman told the congregation.
Charging the inductee on taking heed to himself and the church of God, he said that, "if anybody is inducted, what God is saying is that you will account for the lives of everyone under you. As long as God puts you in a place, it is a sheep qualified to be a shepherd."
Addressing the new inductee and church leaders, Pastor Aluko charged that "we have been given a responsibility to feed the children of God.
The inauguration service of Ajangbadi Zone and induction of Pastor Bamise as the pioneer Superintendent, filled with dancing and music galore, as the Good Women Choir and the Zonal choir ministered in songs.
Flanked by his wife, Evang. Dr. Bamise, Pastor Bamise joyfully received gifts from the various departments of the Zone and individuals in the congregation, as he declared his gratitude to God. He also appreciated the church authority for the honour of responsibility bestowed on him, promising never to let them down.
Aside from the Regional Superintendent of Pearce region, Pastor S. O. Aluko, also in attendance were, CAC Amuwo Odofin DCC Superintendent, Pastor M. K. Ehinmode; CAC Agbara DCC Superintendent, Pastor J. O. Omolola; CAC Ijeshatedo Zonal Superintendent, Pastor M. O. Balogun; CAC Aguda Zonal Superintendent, Pastor E.
