(PHOTO) Interview With a General Overseer That Converted to Muslim in Ekiti In Nigeria, particularly among the Yoruba tribe where religious tolerance is most noticed, it is a regular occurrence to see muslims convert to Christianity. Hardly do we see a Christian turn to Islam. However, a man, former Pastor Adekunle Afolabi, founder and leader of Apata Adura Cherubim and Seraphim Church, Ekute, Ado- Ekiti, Ekiti State, broke that jinx recently. He converted fully to Islam after practising Christianity for over 25 years and even risen to become the General Overseer of his church, which have branches across Ekiti State. Now known and addressed as Alfa Abubakar Afolabi, the 45- year-old man attributed his conversion to a divine encounter he had with a strange man in white in his dreams who showed him certain flaws in Christianity and convinced him that indeed Islam is the only religion that leads to heaven. Below are the excerpts from the interview How did your journey to Islam begin? I am former Pastor Adekunle Afolabi, General Overseer and founder of Apata Adura Cherubim and Seraphim in Ekute, Ado-Ekiti, I have been a believer in Christianity for 25 years. I have been tutored at the Deeper Life Bible Church school in Ayobo, Lagos and my parents were attending the Assemblies of God Church. I later left the church to set up a C &S church where I became a Shepherd because God always reveals things to me either by vision or by dreams and to be candid, God reveals things to me and when God wants to make a confirmation of them, they always come to pass. The spiritual gift has enhanced my career as a cleric in Christianity such that my church grew so fast that by the time we were celebrating fifth anniversary, the church has had branches across the state and over 150 members attended my headquarters in Ekute alone. I have also become the state chairman of the association of our church unification in Ado. I was preparing for the anniversary when I started having dreams that eventually led to my conversion. At first in the dreams, I noticed my members were sitting on the floor in the church and some of them were covering their heads. I also saw that people were washing their hands and feet before entering the church just like it is done in Islam. In my canal thinking, I thought God wanted us to be washing our hands and feet before entering the church and I instructed my members to be doing so, some did, while others didn’t. I remembered when I was living in Ikere, around 1986, I used to attend a church then called the Church of Iya Olomi (Woman of holy water) in Ikere. There was an earthen pot in the church where we washed our legs before attending the church so I was thinking that may be that is what God wanted me to do. I went to buy an earthen pot in Ijebu and put it at the back of the church but something strange happened the day I did that, a heavy rain fell and erosion poured sand into the earthen pot that was filled with water and all the perfume and spiritual arrangement I put inside the water was spoilt. Then, I went to clean the pot and put another clean water again. To my surprise, when I was coming home I met little children at the earthen pot fetching water from it like a well. So, to avoid trouble in the neighbourhood, I dug out the earthen pot and made up my mind that it seems God is against what am doing. In another of my dream, I saw women in Hijab in the church, so on one Sunday I informed my congregation that at the forthcoming anniversary, all women should come with hijab. Only 10 people adhered to the instruction during that period but I was yet to be converted. After that, certain strange things began to happen in my dreams, I would notice that someone comes to me, wakes me up and then take me on a journey to somewhere, there the man will ask a question: he said do I know if the way I was taking in life is the right one?,I told him, yes since I do pray to God and he answers me. But he asked me again that what makes me believe I was right and I told him that since I can pray to God and he answers me. He asked me again that do I believe that God could write Quran in Arabic to people for them to know his teachings, I said to him I don’t know but knew that some people use Arabic as language. He then called my attention to my left hand, there he told me to open my palm which I did and he asked if I knew that the first line in my left hand stands for eight and the second stands for one which go for 81. He added that on my right hand, the first line stands for one in Arabic and the other stands for eight and that if these are added together, they are equal to 99 which stands for the ninety nine names of Allah. He said this means thatAllahwrote his name on the palms of all human beings in Arabic. I was baffled because I never had any knowledge in the Quran, so I decided to go and research on it. It got to a point that my wife and I started attending the mosque together and one day, analhajiaround my neighbourhood saw me coming out of the mosque, he was so surprised and challenged me and I told him everything that occurred to me which led me to the mosque. He told me that I must not keep this to myself so he advised me to keep walking in God’s way in Islam and stop preaching in the church but call on Imam or alfa to come and preach. Eventually, I ended up inviting an Imam, a muslim cleric to preach in my church during our fifth anniversary last year. The church members were surprised as the Imam preached. After the anniversary, the same man came to me in my dreams and tasked me on payment of tithe in my church, saying I should stop collecting it. So, the next Sunday I stopped collecting tithes from the congregation. Of course, the church members were not all happy, some went to another church because they can’t continue with this type of doctrine and that was how the number of the congregation continued to reduce day after day. I nearly got fed up, but I made up my mind that I won’t go back on my decision and religion and when it got to January ending, I made up my mind fully to convert to Islam. Click to.

This man lacks knowledge of the bible. its easier for the devil to lead anyone astray when u lack depth of the word of God. in all his encounters he was never directed to Bible by the "man in White" nor did he confirm from the holy spirit. Demons have him fully on their side. 1 Like |

So, this man was a general Overseer of Churubim and saraphim? Do u even understand what it means to be a general overseer. They probably opened a new branch which he headed. The general overseer of CandS died a long time ago, and the one in church now is not that small boy. AnD, the man had affliations with water spirits, check his words. So many people parade the name of christianity while the r not. Its very easily for dubious people to become Muslims. Mohammed was the chief of dubious characters. He was a theif, high way robber(caravern raider). He was a sexual pervert, he was a murderer and worst of all, a false prophet. Who was Asari Dokubo before he became a Muslim? Who was Idi Amin before he became a Muslim? This people sort a familiar ground to feel comfortable while pertrating their acts. So am not in the least perturbed that a marine worshipper has embraced Mohammed. Birds of the same feathers, they speak the same language, lies. 1 Like |

I pity this man Another blind man going more deeper into his darkness. He has never been a Christian but just a religious man following some form of lifestyle. And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. (Matthew 24:4-7 KJV) 3 Likes |

Interesting! Several attempts were made by Western Judeo/Christians terrorists in conjunction with Nigerian and African pastors to 'bury' Islam in Africa in the 90s. But mission failed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywkXoc2ai94 1 Like |

He was a pastor but when he convert he became an Alfa straight away,did he understand Arabic? How could someone who converted to Islam recently be able to teach it congregation Islamic teaching from the quran? I believe the people even understand the quran more than him. The man is a fraud. Lol, atlest make Islam shere some of this fraudsters Christianity have. |

I was shocked when I saw the caption 'General Oversea converted to islam'. But when I discovered it was Cheribum and Seraphim leader, it is a great relief. Do you know Cheribum and Seraphim members speak Arabic as their own speaking in tongues? That church is another department of the Devil like islam. Many muslims find it convenient to go there and members come to islam from there. |

truthman2012: Truthman2012, you are absolutely correct. Way back when i was much younger, a C&S "man of god" prayed and he "spoke" in tongues in Arabic! I remember thinking, this isnt a tongue, this is Arabic, but i couldn't raise objections (and I wasn't even a Christian then). And as I read the story of conversion, red flags started popping up in my head. And I remembered those episodes (more than once under this guy). I went down on my knees and just glorified Jesus for a lucky escape and now your post! The 'guy' wasnt speaking in tongues, he was reciting/chanting.... 2 Likes |

That man said he had been seeing visions coming true as a non-muslim. Which religion spirit was revealing them to him? Why did the same spirit ask him to leave for another religion? He left Deeper Life to C&S. This shows he was never born-again. That was a rare occurrence. The truth is that the same deceiptive spirit that led him to C&S from Deeper Life also revealed to him to leave for islam. The Bible says we should test ALL spirits to detect whether or not they are of God. 2 Likes |
