A BIOGRAPHY ON ST MOSES ORIMOLADE TUNOLASE
+
Moses Orimolade Tunolase was born around 1879 in Okorun compound at Ikare – Akoko
in the former Western region of Nigeria. At that time, there was no birth registry in Ikare-
therefore there was no authentic record of his date of birth.
FAMILY BACKGROUND
He was born to a family of herbalist and his father was a powerful oracle consultant. His
father’s name was Tunolase and his mother’s name was Abigail Odijoroto, he was the third
in a family of six children with three brothers and two sisters.
EVENTS BEFORE HIS BIRTH
The oracle predicted that the baby in the womb would be an important, powerful servant
of God and that the parents should be careful not to stumble through him.
One day, his mother went to the farm to fetch firewood when she knocked her foot against
a stone and surprisingly a voice greeted her from the womb. Obviously she was scared and
afraid, more so there was nobody around her. As a powerful woman herself, she quickly
recited incantations to drive away any evil spirit around her.
After she gathered a large quantity of firewood, more than she could lift up by herself she
started groaning calling for help and a voice from the womb spoke out and said “don’t
worry, I will help you.” She asked who was speaking and the voice said: “I am the baby in
your womb.” As she was getting prepared to carry the load, the load was miraculously
lifted on to her head. Obviously that was an experience too much to keep to herself, she
narrated the incident to her husband who took her to a very strong oracle consultant that
confirmed that the baby in the womb was a servant of God and should be left alone to
pursue his journey in life.
EVENT AT BIRTH
On the faithful day of his birth, a woman called Jemisiyin was the mid-wife that assisted in
the delivery. History had it that there was a battle before he was born and a lot of
consultation with oracle and incantations were said.
As soon as he was born, he stood up in his birth blood and tried to walk. Three times he did
this. Madam Jemisiyin, the midwife, was scared that she pressed the baby down with force
each time and quickly sent for his father – Tunolase. On arrival, Tunolase too was scared
(since such a thing had never been heard or seen), he joined with full strength and
incantations, which eventually overpowered and crippled his legs. Moses did not walk until
he was over five years of age.
Moses Orimolade Tunolase spoke and gave a divine revelation on his day of birth that his father had sinned and should go to the top of a nearby mountain and ask for forgiveness
from God Almighty. This message had a serious pounding and horrible effect on Tunolase
(his father), which led to ill health and sickness up to his death. He knew that this baby was
too powerful for him to handle and he commanded that Moses Orimolade Okejebu be
taken out of his house. He never saw Orimolade again and he died when Orimolade was
about three years old.
At age 5, he went into St Stephen’s Anglican Church (C.M.S) -the only church at Ikare and
sang alone. The strange light and sound in the church drew that attention of the resident
minister who went to investigate. On opening the door, there was nobody except a young
boy, that sat down and was singing alone- yet it sounded like a multitude of people singing.
When Orimolade was asked who was in the church singing – he answered, “We are.”
This incident popularised Orimolade Okejebu in the town and the minister asked the
young boy to come and teach the church some songs.
ANGELIC VISITATION
An angel of God appeared to Orimolade in a dream and gave him three things:
1. A staff or rod – for victory
2. A royal insignia – authority for prayer
3. A crown – honour and respect from every individual.
After the dream, he realised that his mission to preach the gospel of Christ was irrevocable.
From that time he started to preach the word of God to friends and people around him – to
the amazement of indigenes that were predominantly idol worshippers.
ENCOUNTER BETWEEN ORIMOLADE AND MASQUERADERS
The converts of Orimolade from paganism to Christianity soon increased in Ikare while
idol worshippers and masquerades started to decrease. The idol worshippers felt
threatened and mounted a serious fight with cutlasses and charms against Orimolade and
his followers. With Orimolade in front and his followers threading carefully behind him,
the idol worshippers were captivated by their own charms, turned against each other and
cut themselves.
The police were drafted in and could not believe that people in the same group would fight
and injure each other to that extent. Consequently, the followers of Orimolade that were
unarmed physically were accused of being responsible for those that were injured. The
followers of Orimolade were arrested and taken to Kabba – the provincial headquarter at
that time. Moses Orimolade went to kabba and preached that God said that all the
innocent people in detention should be released. It was at Kabba that the popular C&S
song descended: - “E funpe na kikan “which means: “sound the call profoundly “– i.e. for
the release of captives. All Orimolade’s followers were released and they came back to
Ikare together. This victory meant that all opponents of Orimolade had to bow down and find a way to
compromise and win him to their side. They then decided to bestow upon him one of the
highest priestly titles in the town – but being led by the Holy Spirit, he told them that was
not his mission on earth.

I have done Lots of Research about This Great Man of God ...ST MOSES ORIMOLADE TUNOLASE OKEJEBU "

Infact To me After the Advents of The Biblical Wonders and Miracles ,This Man Follows .

But I don't just know why " The Church He Founded " Cherubim & Seraphim " is been Heavily Criticised .

Honestly in my own Own Opinions ...He is Not Just like most of the Self Acclaimed Men that call themselves Men of God in this Generations ..This BABA Orimolade is not Man of God ,But Man From God ...


Probably the Foundational Legacy,Covenant ,Tenets of Calling where Abandoned by the Followers and they Choose a Wrong Path .


Cherubim & Seraphim Church should have been an Uncompromised Place to Experience the Presence of God's Work .But No thanks to the Followers ...
