The story
As Baba Lene’s first-class emissary, he traveled to numerous towns, cities, and nations—including Gabon and Cameroon—and joined the entourage on missionary journeys to Rome and London. On the flight to Rome, moved by the Spirit, he sang in Italian: “Dio, Dio, Dio protegga me, Ti telefono Oggi, Dio protegga me”, a song that recounts the journey to Rome.
In London he trained believers to be ordained by St. Elisha Lene. For that training he composed hymns, among them “Lorukọ Baba Afi ọ si ipo oye” and “Ẹ bẹrẹ mọlẹ ki ẹ gbe agbelebu Jesu”, both written in London on 21 August 1988 for the ordination ceremony of students of the C&S Church of Zion, Ugbonla HQ Seraphic School of Theology.
He also travelled to Jerusalem, twice, with Baba Lene.
Baba Lene conferred upon him many titles reflecting his spiritual authority and responsibilities:
- Prophet
- Apostle
- Senior Apostle
- Superior Senior Apostle
- “The smallest that is mightier than thousands”
- Tutor-General/Speaker for the Seraphic School of Theology (Ugbonla Headquarters)
