Baba Samuel Olubusuyi Arijesudade,

You are a voice that has being rescuing many from the perversion and corruption of this ungodly world.
What pain me most about your death was the timing, both in the body of Christ and my own personal life ( you slept at a time when I have already seen enough death than to add yours to the list). You are a father and a lover of youth. God has used your vision to raise and still raising up many generals in this present dispensation. You are an Icon to be reckoned with when it come to godliness. Your backseat in most of our meetings was a seat of Power, Anointing and Virtue, I remember I once deliberately sat on your seat at a time to prophetically tap into your anointing
I was with you less that 2 hour before your transition. the only mistake I made at that moment was to place your hand on my head, I only move closer to you and bow down my face, I thought I will receive the hand later. I saw your mouth muttering in the similitude of prayer, you grunted in tongues for more than 48 hours before you left us. your last word was "BABA, OYA MO TI SETAN", every-time a hand touches your body, what you say is "ORUKO JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESU".
Prayer and Holiness was the only thing you taught our leaders and us (indirectly) and that was exactly what you died with. You know the truth, taught the truth, fought the truth and died by the truth. Eye-witness of your last moment said you prayed throughout.
Baba, you ran the race, you overcome the hurdles, and you coached others before you retire into eternity. At a ripe and fruitful age, you departed us. I will write more when I get over this reality of your death.

CACSA OAU will keep your legacy.

Men may not put you in the line of the great Apostle but before you transited, by revelation on the 5th of Dec, 2013 around 2:30pm, I saw you in the similitude of APOSTLE AYO BABALOLA.

Good night, Pastor (Dr) Samuel O. Arijesudade (CACSA National President and CAC National Publicity Secretary)

An soro ile bukun ni,
Ile didan ati ile ewa
Gba gbogbo la nso to go re
Yio ti dun to lati de be.

KO TO KAWO MIMO BERU

Tribute to Pastor OLu Arijesudade by Pst C. O Oluwadare

A Glorious exit! Pastor Samuel Oluwabusuyi AriJesudade (President of Christ Apostolic Church Students’ Asscociation) departed from this sinful world at about 4pm on the 10th of December, 2013. He has gone to be with the Lord Jesus Christ.

Pastor AriJesudade fondly called ‘Baba’ or Baba AriJesudade is truly a father to many Generals of Faith and a mentor par excellence. He was a great leader not in terms of world acclamation or wealth accumulation but in terms of warrior affirmation; his name bears credence to this assertion (formerly Arogundade but now AriJesudade). He fought against sin and led the battle against religious perjury and won. Baba epitomized humility, forgiveness, total surrendered life, heaven-mindedness, contention for the faith of our fathers, unalloyed truth and contentment.

He cared not for earthly riches but preferred the incorruptible riches embedded in soul winning. He cared not for earthly title or position for he knew that earthly position will fizzle away in eternity. He lived in an earthly cottage with his eyes on the heavenly mansion that is not made with hands.

O! What a great loss to those of us who were privileged to be mentored by him; what a loss to CAC Mission and to the world at large (though unknown by the world). Truly, we have lost a rare gem. CACSA family, what shall we do in a time like this? Shall we mourn or make merriment? Certainly we cannot mourn because to be with the Lord is better (2 Cor. 5:6-9). We have the consolation of the Spirit that he has gone to be with the Lord (I Thess. 4: 13, 14). If truly we love Baba, we should not mourn for him. He held the fort to the end, his faith was undiluted, and he did not lose the conviction of his calling. We thank God for the life well spent in soul winning and selfless service to humanity.

Shall we therefore be merry? Certainly No! My answer may seem equivocal; the reason being that the leadership crown of thorns worn by Baba AriJesudade, who shall wear it? Who shall be the next leader of our great CACSA family? Who will lift the banner high with the inscription- “Christ leads, we follow”? Who shall restore the lost glory of Christ Apostolic Church? These are the questions that agitate my mind and amidst these mixed feelings I find myself. With man, answers to these puzzles are a bit difficult but with God there shall be solution. Though our leader (Baba AriJesudade) has gone, yet our Captain (Christ) still leads and we must follow. Till we meet Baba at Christ’s feet in heaven, we shall keep learning at Christ’s feet on earth.

In times like these when we lost three great men (Prophet Obadare, Pastor Ogunlade and Pastor AriJesudade) of highest hierarchy in CAC fold within a space of nine months (all in the Year 2013), won’t we seek the face of God to restore the glory of the Church and rain righteousness upon us.

Amidst these mixed feelings I greet CACSA family ‘A ku ara fe ara ku ojo a jinna sira.’ I want to rest my pen, bow my knees in prayer and also say Adieu! Baba AriJesudade.
