The 63rd Year Remembrance of Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola

In memory of the indelible and impactful evangelical works of the last Covenant Holder, Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola particularly in Nigeria, special activities to mark the 63rd year celebration of his death were organized by the Christ Apostolic Church in conjunction with the God of Fire Global Evangelical Ministry at his birth place in Ikotun-Ile, Odo-Owa town, Kwara State on Saturday 30th April 2022.

Odo-Owa town was filled with people who eagerly awaited the ministration of the Guest Speaker

in the person of the present Covenant Holder, Evangelist Peter Kolajo. The theme of his ministration centred on "How God sent Apostle Ayo Babalola to preach the gospel and to call for repentance of souls".

In his sermon, Evangelist Peter Kolajo emphasized on how Apostle Ayo Babalola, the great Revivalist and Healer preached the Word of God, and also raised the dead and healed the sick people with water, but yet he never used the glory of his time. He spoke on how the Apostle died uncelebrated at his birth place, and buried in a strange land at Efon Alaaye, Ekiti State; and also on the poor state of infrastructure in the town.

Evangelist Peter Kolajo used various examples in the Holy Bible to emphasize that the name of Jesus Christ alone is capable of saving mankind from the strangleholds of satan. Anointing water cannot save anyone as it never saved Apostle Babalola from death, likewise anointing oil, spiritual incenses, bathing inside rivers cannot save. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He is the only Pathway to overcome every challenge in life.

Lastly, the cleric prayed for the deliverance of the town and its inhabitants from age-long woes and curses, and also led the congregants through prayers to overcome satanic attacks, and also recover their lost glories.

Halleluyah!!!

It traversed through the Saint Joseph Ayo Babalola Apostolic Church, the Owa Oloota Palace till it reached the ancient house of the parents of Apostle Ayo Babalola at Ikotun Iwewe Compound where a brief stop-over was made by Evangelist Peter Kolajo for prayers and prophetic declarations inside the house. As soon as the stop-over ended, the GOFGEM Rally Train moved on to Igboniyun in Ikotun-Ile, the exact birth spot of Late Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola which coincided as the venue of the 63rd Remembrance activities.
