Prophet Joseph Ayo Babalola lives on, by Akinola Ajibade

About a year ago, I took to this platform to appreciate your contributions to the Christendom, by stating the exploits you did, through God during your brief, but eventual stay on earth. You died in the evening of Sunday, July 27th, 1959, in Ede, Osun state. The angels heralded your coming, as you breathe your last. However, a lot has happened since your demise.

 Many men of God( genuine and fake) have come on stage after you left to be with the Lord, 58 years ago.

Prophets, Pastors, Bishops, Evangelists and others, have come and gone. To God be the glory, the Christ Apostolic Church(CAC), which you assisted in establishing and nurturing to fruition is waxing stronger, despite its challenges. It is a fact the CAC is identified with the raw power of God among the Independent African Churches today. This, no doubt, was a product of your perseverance, commitment, holiness and prayer to God.

In one of your prayer sessions in the forest, you fasted and prayed for days that God should raise more prophets for His church.

Dear Apostle, it is a testimony today, that many genuine prophets have sprang and more are still coming up in CAC. Not only that, gifts of holy spirit abound, as God continue to release His gifts on past, present and future ministers in the church. Often times, many ministers who have left the church for their own ministries or still in the church and key into the covenant of God upon CAC and His servant, Babalola, do boast of the raw power of God and authority. Unknown to them, they are enjoying the mercy, hard work and covenants , which God has with one of His Generals, Babalola. Who told you that Covenant is not contagious. Read Genesis 12, 13- 16.

The I am, I am, the one who was yesterday, the one today and the one that would be forever, has answered the voice of the Great Apostle. Revelation 1: 8.

It is worthy of note that there are fake pastors, bishops,and prophets today. They are in the mould of Simon, the sorcerer. Acts 8: 9, there was a certain man, who aforementioned used sorcery and bewitched people in Samaria, telling them the he was great.

Holiness, Prayer and Fasting, which you and your contemporaries such the Late Olubadan of Ibadan ( Pastor Akinyele), Prophet David Olulana Babajide, Orimolade and others, embraced, is fast disappearing. Money! Money! Money! is the in thing now. Even, the mountains of prayer, which God has used you to establish, are now being used for fund raising. In one of my spiritual exercises, I went to one of your mountains outside Ibadan. I lied down early in the morning to rest and at the same time, to hear from you. Suddenly, one man of God, kept on disturbing the peace of others, by calling one of his clients in United Kingdom. Mummy, Mo wa lori Oke bayi, ti mo ngbadura fun yin pelu awe biribiri. Make sure you send the money to my bank account. Na Pound Sterling O. I laughed and said this is man is another Simon, the sorcerer. Whatever your right hand does, must be known to your left hand, says the Bible. Honestly, that is what is in vogue now.

This is contrary to what obtained during your time. You are known for power and authority of God, that made witches and wizards trembled, and strucked by God, if they are not ready for repentance. Permit me at this point to mentioned one of the genuine men of God today. Even though, I' m not a member of RCCG, I can say it, without mincing words, that Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye is a true man of God. He is humility personified and full of grace. His gentle and cool voice speaks of power of God, such that hardly can you be under his ministration, without being blessed. Daddy G.O, God will continue to annoint you in Jesus name. His mercy would not depart from your ministry.

Above all, you and the people around you would not miss the Kingdom of God, you are labouring for in Jesus name,amen.

Neither am I doing PR for the God' s General, Apostle Babalola, nor for Pastor Adeboye. In the light of truth of the ' Word' of God and sense of justice, which I have committed to keep till I finish my assignment on earth I' m doing this, with a view to show the grace of God upon their lives, for others to learn.

Once again, I say Apostle Babalola, you are once in a generation. Often times, I asked myself this question. Is Ayo Babalola a spirit or human being, in view of the ways he walked with God tirelessly. 30 days, 40 days of marathon fasting in the bush, Trekking kilometers in order to evangelise or win souls for the Kingdom of God, Hours of Thanksgiving, Prayer and commitment to the Word. Above all, holiness and expectation that Christ is coming back soon. Little wonder that 58 years after, the impact of your ministry is still being felt in Nigeria and beyond. By His grace, we would meet on the last day in Jesus name, amen.
