Today, we give special honour to a man who deserves a Golden medal in all ramifications. A man of humility, integrity and diligence. An extraordinary man with extraordinary powers doing extraordinary things.
Parentage And Birth
God’s grace in Pastor Ajanaku life has been evident since his childhood. He was born into a Muslim home. He was named Abass by his biological father until his re-birth to Elijah. After his birth, a prophecy was foretold that he should be taken to the village river for a bath. As his parents arrived the river to do as they were told, a strange python appeared and they fled leaving only little Iretiola by the river. To their amazement as they returned to the river side, they saw the python watching over Ireti not harming him, and walked away at the influx of people.Growing Up
He learned several artisan works ranging from driving, plumbing, truck loader, houseboy, welder, bus conductor etc, but he was not able to graduate from any of the disciplines.
While he was still in his hometown at Gbogan, Osun State at a certain age, one of the indigenes of the town came from America and sought to go back with him, but the elders in Iretiola family refused under the pretence that if he goes to America, they would have been dead before his return.
When they realized that he was not happy with their decision, they persuaded another indigene who stays in Lagos to take him along that same day unfailingly. This was how his trip to America was automatically converted to Lagos. At Lagos, he started another life without any help from anybody or family to rely upon.
Education
All of a sudden, the first thing the lecturer said the moment he mounted the podium was that Mr and Mrs Ajanaku your attention is needed in the office when we got there they told me that Papa called them that they should tell me that my learning is not under them. I told them to tell him that I will not leave and I must sit for the lecture and understand the scripture more, why should they reject? However I refused to return their documents , then I told that they could return my cash if they like, fortunately for me they return my cash, the school entrance form and receipt of payment are evidences to show the world that I went to bible school but I was rejected. When I was about to leave their compound GOD asked me why did you come here, did I tell you to come? Then I told GOD that is it a crime to acquire more knowledge about the scripture? Then HE replied do you need more knowledge from me and I don’t give you? Since then I never regret of not having academic background, wherever I preach the word, I just open my mouth and the meaningful word will be spoken out, I don’t prepare nor write note on what to preach about, I just get unto podium and the word would be flowing, myself doesn’t know where it comes from, I only know that my CALLER never departed from me. the word just come, Pastor Ajanaku was not taught by the teachers that were colonised by the British rulers as you have been taught he was colonized by the one who created the British rulers. GOD in his mercy transformed the words of his mouth from Yoruba to English language supernaturally ,by the help of the HOLY SPIRIT so that you and I can be beneficiaries of GOD’s divine grace. How amazing, Praise GOD!
