Apostle Dr. Bolaji O. Akinyemi has expressed deep appreciation to the President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Bishop Francis Wale Oke, describing him as “a rare Apostolic Father raised for such a time as this.”
In a statement on Thursday, Apostle Akinyemi said Bishop Wale Oke’s role in providing spiritual clarity, courage, and prophetic direction remains vital in the current national climate.
“In this season of our nation when clarity, courage, and prophetic direction are desperately needed, Bishop Wale Oke continues to stand as a beacon of spiritual authority, national righteousness, and genuine fatherhood to the Body of Christ,” he said.
Akinyemi noted that he and his team were warmly received by the PFN President during a visit, adding that the encounter went beyond courtesy.
“His warm reception deeply touched us. Beyond hospitality, he extended true apostolic covering—speaking grace, offering counsel, and embracing the assignment God has placed in our hands,” he stated.
He also expressed gratitude for Bishop Oke’s acceptance to minister at the upcoming Ilase-Ijesa Crusade scheduled for December 28, 29, and 30.
“We are especially humbled by his gracious acceptance to declare God’s favour over us at the Ilase-Ijesa Crusade. Such honour, coming from a father who carries a national mantle, is not taken lightly,” Akinyemi added.
Inviting residents across Osun State to the programme, Akinyemi urged believers, families, and seekers to prepare for what he described as a moment of divine encounter.
“I invite everyone across Osun State to book a personal place of encounter with God’s favour. The heavens are set, the ground is ready, and God has prepared His servant to speak over us. Do not miss what God has arranged for your lifting,” he said.
The three-day crusade will hold in Ilase-Ijesa, which Akinyemi declared “will experience the visitation of God.”
