In an exclusive interview with Professor 'Femi Adedeji The Gospel General Leading the Darkroom Experiment on Restoration and Revival of Christ Apostolic Church with The Brain Magazine, he dissected many problem facing the church, who is to be blame and recommended solutions for rejuvenation. Excerpt:
Professor 'Femi Adedejis Profile
Femi Adedeji, a Pastor, Prophet and Professor of Music, is a bona-fide son of Christ Apostolic Church. As the eldest son of Prophet Fesojaye Adedeji of Christ Apostolic Church, he was born and raised under the arms of Mama Talabi Rotimi, the Mother of Apostle Ayo Babalola, in Erio Ekiti, some decades ago. Ministerially, 'Femi Adedeji has a divine calling into full time ministry. While in school, he served as tuule under Pastors Olu AriJesudade and M.B. Oyeyemi.
He had direct prophetic impartation through the laying of hands of his father, Prophet 'Fesojaye Adedeji and other great men that were directly anointed by Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola: Baba Babajide, Olutimehin, Akande of Ede, P.A.A.A. Egabor and T.O. Obadare. Hence, he remains one of the direct connections of the 'Prophetic Chain' of Christ Apostolic Church. A rugged Prophetic teacher, Theologian and Pastor, 'Femi Adedeji was a Lecturer in C.A.C. Theological Seminary, Ile Ife between 1987 and 1993 and was ordained a Pastor in CAC in 1988.
He composed the School anthem of the CAC Theological Seminary (Education is Good) in 1987. He founded C.A.C. The Truth of the Gospel Assembly in 1987, where he currently serves as the Senior Steward. In 1991, 'Femi Adedeji represented CAC at the Organization of African Instituted Churches' Theological Education by Extension training programme, in Nairobi Kenya.
'Femi Adedeji is also the Senior Servant in charge of Joseph Ayo Babalola Prophetic and Revival Centre (CAC Ori Oke Awon Omo Wolii), Erio Ekiti that hosts Joseph Ayo Babalola School of Prophets which started from Ori Oke Aanu, Erio-Ekiti in 2007. He is the Minister in Charge of 'the Prophetic Night', a monthly Holy Ghost and Prophetic renewal prayer congress at the same venue. He is also the National Coordinator of Endtime Revival Networks, an organization saddled with the mobilization and promotion of Revival in Nigeria.
Some of the spiritual books authored and edited by him include O to Akoko lati wa Oluwa (1993); CAC, Woo bi awon Alagbara re ti n Subu ti awon Ohun Ija re si n Segbe (1998); Self-Deliverance Prayer Manual (2011); That the Power of Christ may Dwell in Me: towards a Theology of Weakness (2012); Prophetic Ministry in Christ Apostolic Church: The Odyssey of Prophet Fesojaye Adedeji, an unsung Hero (2013); Biblical Christian Leadership in Honour of Samuel Olubusuyi AriJesudade (2014); and Victory over Sexual Sins (2019). As an academic, 'Femi Adedeji is a professor of an international standing. He was a former Head of Department of Music, Obafemi Awolowo University; former President, Association of Nigerian Musicologists, and currently a member of the Board of Trustees of the same association. In addition to several classical music compositions, he has composed numerous hymns and lyric airs. He has also released gospel albums, many of which are available on the You Tube. While appreciating God for giving him a wonderful wife, blessed biological children and numerous spiritual sons and daughters in the Lord, 'Femi Adedeji has nothing to glory of, except that, he is a debtor of God's manifold grace.
Why championing the church restoration?
The Holy Spirit led me to do so in accordance with existing prophecies through my Father, Prophet Fesojaye Adedeji. The CAC Restoration and Revival Networks came into being for the same purpose. In addition, the mandate for anchoring global endtime revival was given to CAC, and for we not to lose it CAC itself must be restored and revived! I love my Church dearly and would not want it to lose the God-given mandate.
CAC crisis, what went wrong and who is to be blame?
Whether people agree with this or not, I would say it is Satan on the one hand, and we Pastors on the other. Satan, because he has always been the arch-enemy of God, and has never stopped disrupting God's agenda by deceiving the Church leaders with earthly goodies. The leaders took the baits and bowed unto mammon. Let all lies be exposed; the church has always experienced crises, even from inception and of a fact, CAC was birthed in crisis but has always overcome because of truth. This protracted crisis however started in 1990 through the insurgence of a powerful group of influential members honoured with pastoral ordination; they claimed they wanted to reorganize the Church and make the lives of the fulltime ministers better.
They announced their manifestoes and at the end of the day, seized power, forcefully retired the then revered principal officers on the ground that they were too old, and appointed a CAC President of their choice. They introduced 4-year tenure for the new principal officers, only to change it to 75 years when they were fully in power. Baba Obafemi, the only living Patriarch is still there to tell you his terrible experiences. Things have never been the same again since the ballgame changed completely from spirituality to the rule of carnality.
The prophetic office which was the most sacred has been sold out; we sacked Prophet Obadare because he was running independent ministry in the Church and ever since, people running independent ministries have been put in his position. Isn't this an open hypocrisy and injustice? Yet we make new Pastors swear not to establish independent churches during ordination ceremonies. The brutish rule of money, education, falsehood, thuggery and cultism scattered the church till date.
While the CAC Supreme faction that wanted to maintain status quo lack money, large followership, organization, and wherewithal to push their case through, the larger faction has all it takes to manipulate and dominate things amidst all corrupt practices of the highest order.
Unfortunately, the reluctance to bow to caprices of the GEC and the love for power, split the CAC Supreme Council into Irefin and Agbowo factions and recently same was responsible for another split in Agbowo in which another faction seceded under Pastor David Udofia. Yet CAC Olugbode (the mother of CAC) srill remains neutral, just like there are other many independent CAC branches that have refused to align with any faction till date.
Several pressure groups at different times that rose to reunite the Church were either silenced or failed through internal wrangling; showcasing flesh and egotist behaviours of unregenerated people. The GEC faction has always initiated lopsided peace and unity initiatives, the last one under the new President was making progress until very recently, it broke down as usual. Very sadly but interestingly, the wordings of the hymn of F.S. Shepherd in our hymnbook (CACGHB 865) aptly describe our present situation and hope:
1. By whom, Lord, shall Jacob arise? His friends are very few What is surprising is this that, They are not'n one accord.
2. By whom, Lord shall Jacob arise? His enemies are cruel
They joy as if they have triumphed, And said, "He is finished."
3. By whom, Lord, shall Jacob arise. Can anybody say?
The dried up branch there on the ground. Can it bloom anymore?
4. O Lord my God, it is Thy work. No one else can do it;
Descend like the dew on Jacob. And Jacob shall rise!
The last stanza is a prayer and at the same time prophetic. It affirms the fact that only God can do it and when He descends, CAC shall rise!
What are the similarities between CAC and Nigeria Hullaballoo?
Oh, I would quickly say as a Prophet that the destiny of Nigeria is tied to that of CAC! Very interestingly I would also say 'Like CAC, Like Nigeria'! CAC to me is the most blessed of all African Indigenous Churches, so is Nigeria among African countries. CAC rejects the truth till date so also Nigeria. CAC refuses to stand on its foundation, so also Nigeria. Many innocent blood were shed in CAC in the past, so also in Nigeria up till now. CAC is in unresolved crisis for years, so also is Nigeria. Mark my word: If CAC does not attain peace and unity; Nigeria may never!
How are you handling criticism and betrayal in this restoration journey?
Criticism and betrayal are unavoidable in critical assignments such as the one I champion. I must say that in addition to the two, persecution and attacks are realities in the journey. I will explain what I mean. Normally, truth is bitter and not attractive in our generation; hence, people hate the truth. Meanwhile, Jesus Christ is the Truth and the source of truth. I love my church so much and as led, would do all things possible for its restoration and revival.
I knew what CAC was; I knew its legacies and what the God of Joseph Ayo Babalola has done for me there. Some accused me of being too critical, some others accused me of being partial, some claimed I'm against them that I'm attacking them. But, No, I do not attack anyone. I address issues; not people. I have heard some saying that I'm no longer in CAC. So, where would I be? Hear this: I'm a full-blooded CAC, but I only refused to be part of the problem.
I would rather be part of the answer! It was true that years back I had to step aside, changed the name of the church I pastored, when the power that be at the time wanted to kill me. But he eventually died and I was back. Some insinuated that I wanted position or relevance in the Church. If that was what I wanted I had my opportunity long time ago during the reign of Christ Initiative Forum that seized power in the 1990s whose President was my uncle. Then I was a Lecturer in CAC Theological Seminary, Ile Ife.
They gave me the opportunity to choose whichever position I wanted, but I declined on the ground that it was not a mark of true reformation. I have suffered so many persecutions as a result of truth.
Presently, some misinterpret my actions; some still hate me and seek my downfall. All for what? Because of truth? Let me say it here loud and clear: I am not pursuing any position; I am not rich, but very contented. In all of this, my comfort and refuge is God. I'm not offended, neither am I ruffled.
I'm focussed and would not be intimidated; I will also not allow people to use me for their selfish interests and ambitions. There are betrayers all over the place, but God is faithful. One thing is now very sure: by the highest Authority in Heaven and on Earth, anybody who wants to kill me, will kill himself!
How do you want to handle the restoration to the foundation with the factions' saga?
This question refers to the proposed method amidst the prevailing divisions. With God nothing shall be impossible! Firstly, we must be objective and not partisan.
I like to still see CAC as one, regardless of the factions; without segregation, without blame game. I do say it all the time: all the factions in CAC are children of the same Father; Ija lo de t'orin d'owe. Hence, I will relate with all of them as one. The primary method and its instrument, is prayer which is already in place. There are prayer groups scattered everywhere praying for CAC now; God knows them and we network. The next phase of the prayer will kickstart soon. In CAC original theology, ko si ohun ti adura ko lee se!
Secondly, we are to educate the people with the truth; many people are ignorant of the truth of the matter, meanwhile 'the truth of the matter is what matters in this matter'!
Thirdly, God will also use music. All of us must start singing new songs — of truth, righteousness, unity, peace, restoration and revival. There is a prophetic hymn 'There shall be a new CAC' which parodies both the tune and text of 'Showers of Blessing' of E. Nathan (CACGHB 656). Pastor E.A. Adeboye first adapted it to prophesy to Nigeria. This prophetic hymn must be on the lips of all lovers of CAC.
(English Version)
1. "There shall be a new CAC!" This decree we all must make. We'll see the great Church of our dream, As we commit her to prayers.
Refrain: Oh, New CAC! A New CAC we see! Our story is changing for good, A better church shall be born.
2. "There shall be a new CAC!" The good news will spread abroad, That a better church has emerged, Restored; united; revived!
3. "There shall be a new CAC!" We all will tell the story, Of how God breaks grip of darkness, Giving us rest on all sides.
4. "There shall be a new CAC!" God's promise shall be fulfilled; And by the shed-blood of Jesus, There shall be joy and glory.
5. We shall see a new CAC! With holiness, righteousness; God's fear will rule all our leaders, Truth and Justice shall prevail.
How are you handling criticism and betrayal in this restoration journey?
Originally, recruitment of people into the ministry in CAC, was through divine calling by God, but today the ministry has been hijacked by people who are called by their parents who themselves were ministers or those called by their pastors/prophets.
There are also those called by unemployment or hunger in addition to those who desire the prestige of the office in a bid to control the Church, even when they have succeeded in their respective secular careers.
Fuelling this category is the CAC practice of honouring educated, wealthy, useful and influential members with pastoral ordination. This is a spiritual aberration and a great source of confusion and crisis in the Church. However, there are genuine cases of those who were not originally called by God but came in as volunteer ministers, zealous to serve God.
Another spiritual aberration and bastardization of the ministry is the grave error of using pastoral ordination as means of basic promotion across different ministerial offices, which has caused many ministers to lose their original callings and focus, consequently resulting in poor management, oppression and suffering of 'the faithfuls' that pay the tithes used for ministers' salaries.
Whereas, Teachers ought to be ordained as Pastors after serving for some number of years; in the same order, evangelists ought to be ordained as ordained evangelists, and Prophets as ordained Prophets. The abnormality is further enhanced by the fact that one is only recognized as minister in CAC after he is ordained as a Pastor; that is when the national secretariat opens a file for him. People then scramble to get recommended for pastoral ordination, doing unimaginable abominations to induce the superior officers, who themselves may take bribes and other undue benefits from the candidates. Meanwhile the cost of the ordination itself is another problem on its own; people enter into huge debts as a result of excessive demands by the powers that be. God feels so pained about these abnormalities.
The afore mentioned have resulted into producing pastors that are misfits. Or what quality of Church administration do we expect from Evangelists and Prophets in the pastoral office, that get promoted across the ranks — from Assembly Pastor to District Superintendent, to Zonal superintendent, to Districts Coordinating Council Superintendent, to Regional Superintendent? This is why many ministers now depend heavily on charms and cultism and hence become disasters on the field.
This is a major bane of our ministerial organization and structure. There is need for overhauling in the system. In another dimension, it is a disdain that our Seminary campuses are turning out graduates in large quantities yearly without commensurate positive impact on the church. For some times now I think the curricula used in our Seminary campuses are moribund; they need to be contextualized to meet the current needs and challenges in the Church and society. Different callings require peculiar training.
Today, Pastors have outnumbered the available Churches. It is also now common to find a local Church having as many as 5 or more Pastors on the altar, thus creating redundancy, unhealthy competition and strives. Sadly, those who are related or connected with the Authorities, and those who are 'good boys' to them (whose regular' envelopes' are bulky) are the ones that are placed in assemblies that are financially buoyant, while those who have faithfully served for years without connections are regimented to stations that cannot pay their salaries.
For instance, I know of a typical Pastor who has been serving for years in the most popular faction of CAC, whose current station could not afford the recommended salary and hence goes home sometimes with less than N15,000 yet having wife and three children. Thus, the gap of inequality widens unabated. Everybody now lobby for posting to cities and urban centres; nobody wants to accept calling into rural areas and villages any longer.
There are several other ministries that are left undeveloped in the Church, and there is no provision for women in the CAC ministerial structure. Meanwhile, Evangelists were not meant to be seated in a church; his/her work is outside; where the harvest is still plenty. For instance, the yahoo-yahoo boys are increasing daily, koko-wave is taking over our streets; bet-naija has become the order of the day, the witches, the emeres and the marine beings have taken over the Church.
Where are the Prophets? They are competing with Pastors leaving their own schedules. In the days of our fore fathers witches were delivered, as they confessed, repented and relinquished the witch-birds. But not again today; they are now partners in progress with ministers.
The same scenario is playing out in Nigeria wherein people depend on paper qualification without skill. Our youths are roaming about the streets without jobs, available jobs are reserved for political party stalwarts who share them by slots, which would be given to their families or sold out to others. My conclusion here would be that both the Church and the country need servant-leaders of integrity, that are selfless and committed to positive transformation.
Anglican, Catholic, Baptist, RCCG, etc. have doctrinal teaching fora; what happens to CAC Tenets?
Thank you so much for this question. Like those Church denominations you mentioned, CAC has written tenets and have teaching outlets. The big problem is that of duplicity and hypocrisy; retaining what we believe on paper and practising what is inversely proportional. Ile ti o ba so pe oun ko duro lori ipile oun mo, ko lee duro mo, o setan ti yoo wo niyen! One principal doctrine that marked CAC out was divine healing; it is still there on paper but we are not practising it because we could no longer pay the price. And sadly, there are people who had reached leadership positions that do not even believe in it; what a sacrilege! It is this problem that leads to ineffective teaching structures and systems in the Church.
Agreed that CAC is a prophetic Church, it has sound doctrines that were documented and taught through children unit, youth ministries, pastors' conferences, ministers' wives conferences, Sunday school, Bible study programmes, etc. But they are not and cannot be impactful because the people we teach both in and outside the Church know that we are hypocrites; our lives are completely opposite of what we teach. To cap it up, we need to start 'walking the talk'.
Insecurities in Nigeria, what do have to say about that?
For anybody who cares to listen to the truth, Nigeria is experiencing all sorts of problems (insecurity inclusive) because CAC that has the key to its unity and wellbeing has lost its own compass. I would say authoritatively as a Prophet that CAC is responsible for the woes of this country. CAC was given the authority to rule and direct the affairs of the country through prayer and prophetic ministries, but lo and behold…!
Nigeria is choked up in corruption and injustice of the highest order. The powers that be know the cause of the present insecurity and people that are feeding fat from it know themselves; it is the masses that are paying for it. Hear the description of our pathetic situation in Wole Soyinka's song from Etika Revolution of Tunji Oyelana and the Blenders released in the 1980s.
You tief one kobo dey put you for prison
You tief ten million, na patriotism
Den go give you chieftancy and national honour
You tief even bigger, dem go say na rumour
Monkey dey work, baboon dey chop sweet pounded yam
Someday e go stop!
What is the Way Forward?
As for CAC, several efforts have been made in resolving the prolonged crisis; litigations upon litigations and uncountable numbers of peace meetings, all to no avail. Niyi Adedokun and some others spoke to us severally through songs, all fell in deaf ears.
Uncountable numbers of prophecies and messages sent to the Authorities were thrown into waste paper basket. Several payer and pressure groups sprung at different times and did their best. Something happened sometimes in 2016; I challenged Pastor (Professor) AMA Imevbore on his failure to resolve CAC crisis despite his prominence in previous administrations; he told me many mysteries that could not be shared here. In our discussion, he said 'Femi, was it not prayer that gave birth to CAC at the onset? Let's start to pray. That was how we started CAC Prayer meetings in his assembly - CAC Mount Bethel Zonal Headquarters in Ile Ife.
There is no doubt about the bitter facts that litigation would not solve CAC problem; neither would any amount of talk do. The way forward is for all the factions to pray and embrace the truth. Any reconciliation based on falsehood will not last long; it will backfire! We should therefore admit the errors and falsehood of our past leaders that did wrong and be willing to correct them.
Let the Church stop bending the truth! Further to this we also need workable templates for reconciliation and restoration of CAC. I have already sent one to all the stakeholders in the crisis in 2020 which was first published in CAC News as an Interview (but was later removed by the powers that be, then). I think it is informative and helpful to reproduce it here:
Templates for Reconciliation and Unity of CAC submitted by 'Femi Adedeji, a CAC Prophet, Pastor & Professor of Music)
(Edited Version as suggested by Peace-Loving Leaders)
We need a reconciliation that is biblically based, historically justifiable and justly fair to all sides to foster a lasting peace! It is in view of these I recommend the following:
Membership of the joint peace committee should incorporate additional non-biased senior members, lovers of peace and people of integrity.
1. All principal officers in all the CAC factions should in the spirit of peace, be willing to relinquish their positions. Any of them could be brought back by the joint peace committee. There is no way reconciliation and peace could be attained without some form of sacrifice!
2. Principal offices should be shared between the two major factions, for the sake of truth, fairness, peace and unity, and in the spirit of Christ.
3. No saint; no culprit' principle should be adopted in the reconciliation process.
4. The authentic Certificate of Incorporation should be adopted jointly. The two existing certificates may be replaced with a new one to be jointly applied for, through the Corporate Affairs Commission. This is necessary for the world to take us serious.
5. The CAC Constitution (2 versions) should be reviewed jointly and objectively.
6. 75 years retirement age is no longer healthy for vibrant administration of our church. This should be replaced with a 4 years renewable tenure or 5 years single tenure. If we reject it now, the upcoming generation would still effect it. The earlier the better!
7. Equal rights should be given to all the Pastors ordained during the crisis. Re-ordination is a mockery of the sacredity of Priesthood.
8. Evangelical groups such as CACSA, Light of the World, WOSEM and Youth Fellowship should be allowed to co-exist for healthy development. A Committee should be appointed to work out the modalities.
9. Guidelines should be prepared jointly for the Groups and other independent Ministries; more so that some top principal officers and ministers on CAC payroll now float their ministries freely within the Church. (A committee should be put in place to do this too).
10. The Church should deal with Indiscipline and immorality, which are now rampant in the two main factions.
11. Corruption in the Church should be dealt with together. It is so dishonouring to God, as it were.
12. Mammonism (worship of money) should be eradicated in the Church; it is also disgusting!
13. All forms of cultism and syncretism in all factions should be banned. This should be carried out through joint prayers and actions.
14. Ordination as elevation in the Church should now be based on areas of divine calling: Evangelists should be ordained as ordained Evangelists, Prophets as ordained Prophets and Teachers as Pastors.
15. Honorary and commercialized pastoral ordination of people that were not called by God into the ministry should be stopped; it is a single factor fuelling indiscipline and corruption in our Church, and it was what precipitated the crisis in 1990.
16. Our Church doctrines and spiritual legacies should be revived!
Long live Christ Apostolic Church!
For Nigeria,
The only solution is for the leadership of both the CAC and the country, with of course, all other Church leaders, to return to the truth! This was captured in a prophetic gospel music album titled Ona Abayo Da? which I released in 1992. It emphasized truth as the only way out for Nigeria. You can access the music on the YouTube.
Advise to Youths and Prospective Leaders
CAC Youths need to be educated on what the original CAC was and the depth of bastardization that they now inherit. This is because in order to attain a meaningful future, the understanding of the past is indispensable! The best way to achieve this education is to look for history, spiritual and doctrinal books written by first and second generations of Christ Apostolic Church Fathers.
The Doctrines and Teaching of the Church published by the Church and Baba Babajide are essential materials. There are so much of colouring and falsehood in the present accounts. The Youths as the future of the Church, should venture to know and cling uno the truth. May I also advise our Youths to return to holy and righteous living. Avoid all contaminants; flee from every appearance of evil. Run away from Pastors and Prophets that are destroying peoples' destinies! Finally, youths should come out of current ignorant prayer syndrome. Real prayer should produce two things among others -God's leading/guidance and steps to results. Drinking anointing oil or water for financial blessings without working is a futility!
The prospective leaders should seek the mind of God before taking up leadership responsibilities. I advise them to be conscious of their gifts and anointing when they are given leadership positions. It is advisable to stay within one's area of giftings; once you go outside that, even if you are celebrated by your followers, you would be disqualified by God at the end.
May I also advise the prospective leaders to seek to please God in the ministry and abstain from the craze of pursuing worldly riches, materials and glamour; all of which are a departure from the faith of our Fathers.
Finally, Ministers of God in all Church denominations should repent from falsehood, lies and wickedness. Both the Church and the society are dwelling under falsehood and lies today; a major cause of our predicaments. We need to turn back to righteousness and preach the truth to the Government, perhaps God would have mercy and save Nigeria!
