The General Leader of the Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church, Surulere District in Lagos, Prophet Funsho Korode, was overwhelmed with a stream of encomiums as a biography on his professional and spiritual voyage was presented at the Eko FM Marquee, Agindingbi.
The book captioned Prophet Funsho Korode: The Glorious Narrative of A Quintessential Seraph drew the attention of former Ogun State Deputy Governor Segun Adesegun and the Elerinmo of Erinmo Ijesha, Oba Michael Ajayi among other dignitaries.
Adesegun, who was the special guest of honour, described Korode as one of the few whose service to God is not centred on pecuniary gains or obsession for a leadership office.
He observed that the life and content of Korode’s character epitomises godly values essential for enhancing the Cherubim and Seraphim frontiers.
‘’After the departure of the uncommon General leader, G. O. Fakeye, I said to myself that now we are going to see the real story about churches in Nigeria. Because there are some churches when their leaders depart, it is on the pages of newspapers like the primaries of we politicians. But surprising and smoothly a new leader emerged. I see you as what a prophet of God should be. You do all things not for the purpose of money making, not for foreign exchange or anyone to eulogise you but to honour your God and that is why I am so happy to be with you today. From what we have seen today, prophets prophesy for the sake of making money.” he said.
On his part, Oba Ajayi described his spiritual rise as one preordained by God to elevate the church to another dimension of anointing.
He emphasised the need for people to reflect on lives and times of remarkable leaders through study of their biographies, noting the harbour relevant lessons for future decisions.
He said: “The reason why young people should read biographies, memoirs and diaries is because they provide the most valuable lessons in life. Every life has a beginning, middle and an end and how one has lived one’s life should be of great interest to those who are still at the beginning. As Christians, aside from the spirituality of the Bible, the Bible remains our primary source of biographical stories. Who can forget the lives of Adam and Eve, Abraham, Joseph, Moses, David, Paul, and the life of God on earth, Jesus Christ? Looking at someone, such as Baba Korode, you can say he is a man of God stepping into the shoes that God has anointed for him to take this ministry to another height which is what has happened today.”
The book’s foreword was written by the Vice Chancellor of Ajayi Crowther University, Prof Folorunsho Dapo Asaju.
Reviewing the 10-chapter compendium Prof Wole Atere, said the book captures the transition of the prophet from an Anglican Christian dynasty to Cherubim and Seraphim setting following a contact with Prophet G.O. Fakeye.
He added that both had a father son relationship, stating that: “He was born into a Christian Dynasty, who were forebears of true practice of Christianity and were prominently attached to the Christian Missionary Society in the olden days. He came from a background that is linked to Anglican Church. His Zaria’s experience brought him in contact with giants of Cherubim and Seraphim, such as Pa Gabriel Fakeye and Prophet Ayelusi whom he met through his brother. His primary days were an opportunity for training in leadership, seminars, choir ministrations and prophetic deals. As part of his tutelage SFK occupied some positions as elder, a member of the ecclesiastical council and Choir master for 40 years.”
