Apostolic Ascension 95: Prophet Hezekiah Oladeji to Host Historic Gathering at Babalola Prayer Mountain

By Femi Oyewale

Thousands of worshippers, ministers, and revival seekers are expected to converge on the historic Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola Prayer Mountain in Efon-Alaaye, Ekiti State, as the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) prepares for the 95th edition of the annual Apostolic Ascension.

The spiritual gathering, scheduled to hold from March 16 to March 20, 2026, is themed “Our Sure Inheritance As It Was Given To Our Fathers.” The event commemorates the legacy of the renowned revivalist, Joseph Ayo Babalola, whose ministry ignited one of the most remarkable Christian revivals in Nigeria’s history.

At the center of this year’s gathering is the host, Hezekiah Oluboye Oladeji, the fifth General Evangelist of Christ Apostolic Church. Widely known for his deep prophetic insight and fervent prayer ministry, Oladeji is expected to lead believers into a season of intense spiritual encounters at the sacred mountain.

Born on February 13, 1967, in Osun State, Oladeji joined the church in 1983 after what he describes as a miraculous healing experience that marked the turning point of his life. Since then, he has dedicated his ministry to prayer, deliverance, and revival, becoming widely respected as a “prophet of prophets” within the Pentecostal movement.

His ministry is known for extended prayer sessions, prophetic declarations, and teachings centered on holiness, divine intervention, and freedom from spiritual bondage. Over the years, he has shared several testimonies of supernatural encounters experienced at the revered prayer mountain founded through the ministry of Joseph Ayo Babalola.

Church leaders say the Apostolic Ascension remains one of the most spiritually significant gatherings in the CAC calendar, drawing believers from across Nigeria and abroad.

Also expected to minister during the five-day revival are prominent ministers including Prophet Ayo Daniel, Prophet M.O. Adio, and Prophet Timothy Olatunbosun Igbalajobi, who will join Oladeji in leading sessions of prayer, worship, and prophetic ministration.

The President of the church, Samuel Oladele, is also expected to grace the event as believers gather to reflect on the spiritual heritage passed down by the fathers of the faith.

Organisers say the gathering will feature morning, afternoon, evening, and night prayer sessions, aimed at rekindling revival and reconnecting believers to the covenant heritage of the church.

“This is not just another conference,” organisers said. “It is a return to the altar of the fathers, where the covenant continues to reproduce itself.”

Believers have been urged to attend the revival at Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola First Prayer Mountain, Efon-Alaaye, Ekiti State, to seek divine encounter and spiritual renewal.
