…Seraphs should move from being members of C&S church to identifying their Seraphic or Cherubic nature… Seraph Alo Olatokunboh Akin.

It is no gainsaying that Seraphs are spiritual beings, and the purpose of the establishment of the C&S fold is to bring people to God. The fold is blessed with the gift of the Holy Spirit which is our common heritage as Seraphs.

However, there are quite a number of things that have been bastardized about the fold and her doctrines, as each generation of Seraph passes, so also the negative fame of the fold multiply in scores. It will interest everyone to know that the era of change isn’t near anymore, the moment of revival we have all been waiting is here already! God has raised quite a number of giants in the fold to raise the deflated flag of the fold and soar it high up in the sky until every man and woman’s wrong perception about the fold is changed. One of such giants is Pastor Alo Olatokunboh Akin; a Seraph with an apostolic roar of a lion, tearing apart the stronghold of darkness.

There a quite a number of things most people don’t know about Pastor Alo Olatokunbo Akin, let us quickly run you all through his profile.

Pastor Dr Alo Olatokunboh Akin Is a Pastor, Spiritual Strategist, Life-Transformation Speaker, Kingdom Expander, Impact Maker, Revivalist and Life Coach, dedicated to raising the youth for Christ and success in life. It is worthy of note that he is an Anchor for the Transformation Hour Network International, Lagos, an Online Platform for the children of God, with an end of the year Life Transforming program tagged: End Of The Year Release (EOTYR). He is a Seraph from heaven, a former Evangelism Secretary and presently the Deputy General Secretary of the Cherubim & Seraphim Church Unification Campus Fellowship (Nigeria and Overseas), an apt teacher of the Word of God, lecturing at two Bible Colleges for over 10 years, imparting, impacting and influencing the lives of the students at all levels.

Hmmm, what a profile! Something of interest caught my attention from his profile above which is, “A SERAPH FROM HEAVEN”. What people clamour about is the beauty of a man who knows his right, but Pastor Alo Olatokunboh Akin’s profile has rephrased the sentence to “The beauty of a man who knows his identity”. In his words, Pastor Alo reiterated the need for every member of Cherubim and Seraphim fold to identify their Seraphic nature. He explained that people should not just bare name with Cherubim and Seraphim alone but they should take time to identify what and who Cherubim and Seraphim means in the spiritual realm while the inability of people to identify with this have detached their connection from the heavenly realms, hence, they go about playing doctrines instead of kingdom activities. Why do we continually burn incense to invoke the spirit of God when all we need is a Fragrance of the spirit which will rise from inside of us to God?

While speaking about the well-being of members of the fold, Seraph Pastor Alo explained that people in the church should lay claim to the Covenant that was established with St Moses Tunolase according to C&S hymn book 827 stanzas 5, which says “Remember the Covenant, Father of the Heavenly Palace; That the Children of Tunolase, Will not live in poverty” This song according to him should always stir up holy anger against lack and poverty in us till we break off and break away from the cycle of poverty.

Addressing about the popular criticism members of the fold experience in sight of other denomination, Seraph Alo shared his own experience and how he tackled it. He said: “A lot of people see the C&S Church as idol worshipping and so they ostracise us, they look down on us and don’t reckon with us. I’ve had encounters with people who have asked me if am sure of being a Seraph and I responded by letting them know that there are citizens of Heaven’s kingdom in all churches, irrespective of what is been practised in the church.

He however recounted how being a Seraph made him miss serving as the Zonal Coordinator for his local government during National Youth Service Corps year but with the Spirit of God that’s at work he was honoured at the end of the service.

And in response, he has been able to do his part and establish the fact that the C&S fold is a part of the body of Christ. “I’ve also been able to convince a lot of other ministers that there’s a shift in the operations of the C&S Church in the now, they will first see me a kingdom citizen before knowing anything about the church I attend, which is what I am interested in imparting into other youths of this glorious Church”, stated Seraph Alo.

He however encourages young ministers not to be arrogant in the approach to appropriate change in the church but follow the patterns of the apostles in the scriptures to effect the desired change. He likewise admonish them to learn more of the Word of God by revelation and theology; learn from those that are ahead, either directly or indirectly and also integrate the experience of the elders with the knowledge of the scriptures that they’re receiving.

Pastor Alo is currently the Assistant General Secretary for the Central Executive Council for Cherubim and Seraphim Student Campus Fellowship. He worships at Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church, Chapel of Ressurection, however, most of his Sundays are fixed for ministration in different Churches across the length and breadth of the country. Pastor Alo is a lover of purple colour and he doesn’t deal easily with a plate of Iyan and Efo garnished with crayfish and ponmo whenever he gets his hands on it.

Aside being a fervent worker in the fold, Seraph Alo is also an author. He published his first hard copy book last year; “Operating in Divine Capaciy”. Some of his e-books are also on Amazon.com. He was formerly into website design and hosting but now monitors my online presence himself. He likewise teaches and ministers on various online platforms particularly on WhatsApp where he has his own platform called “Transformation Hour Network with over 250 members”.

One other lovely attribute of this man of God is that despite his busy schedule, he still finds time for his family and cherishes every moment with them. The best moment he enjoys with his family is when he having playtime with his two adorable kids and his wife. What a loving Father he would be!

Giving his piece of advice to the fold, he stated the need for members of the Church especially youths to rise in the corporate world to be the earthly and heavenly useful. “C&S should also rise in the corporate world to be the head because we can’t all become prophets, so those that are attending schools should focus on being the best and not just become heavenly conscious and earthly useless, we should combine both education and spiritual intelligence to operate in the world. I wrote recently that a connection to the supernatural realm will bring about outstanding success in education”, enunciated Seraph Alo.

Without much ado, Pastor Alo Olatokunboh Akin is the Seraph of this week edition. Stay tuned till next week as we unveil the profile of another wonderful Seraph.
