The Cherubim and Seraphim Church Worldwide, the first pentecostal Christian movement in Nigeria, is set to mark her centenary anniversary with an ecumenical thanksgiving service, tagged Centenary Without Boundaries.
The event, scheduled to take place at the International Conference Centre, Enugu on Sunday, is planned to host dignitaries, including traditional rulers, church leaders and eminent personalities from various churches, groups, and ethnic divides across the country
Prelate of the Eternal Sacred Order of Cherubim and Seraphim Church World-Wide, Elder (Dr.) David Bob-Manuel said the church would use the occasion to preach the message of national unity, peace, ethnic harmony and end to all forms of militancy causing a breach of peace, adding that the country must draw from the church’s history of organic growth to forge a strong and united nation state.
Founded by the Ikare, Ondo State-born prophet, Saint Moses Orimolade Tunolase, on 9 September 1925, the Christian movement has a rich history than spans through hundred years.
Prophet Tunolase led a revival that centred on turning the people away from idol worshipping, destroying all works of darkness and restoring hopes and healing to all believers in Jesus Christ. His uncommon anointing in the efficacy of prayers earned him the sobriquet, “Baba Aladura”.
The formation of the church filled the void of spiritual emptiness and dearth of Apostolic ministration in that every believer can personally experience the workings of the Holy Spirit.
The church is also characterised by a strong belief in the baptism of the Holy Spirit and endowed with power of seeing visions dreaming, discernment of spirit and potency of the word of God
Cherubim and Seraphim Church has grown in leaps and bounds across nations and cities all over the world. The Church is a member of Christian Association of Nigeria, Organisation of African Instituted Churches, All Africa Conference of Churches and World Council of Churches with membership in all Local Government Areas in Nigeria, as well as Africa, Europe and Asia.
