Prophet Hezekiah Oluboye Oladeji is a Prophet of God, Teacher of the Word, Preacher of the Gospel and Radical Evangelist. He is currently the General Evangelist of the Christ Apostolic Church, Nigeria and Overseas.
Prophet Hezekiah O Oladeji was born in Oloba Compound, Edun Abon, Osun State on 13 February 1967 to Pa David Oladeji, who is a Christian of the Baptist extraction, and Madam Elizabeth Oyeronke Oladeji. He attended Baptist Primary school, Edun-Abon. He was a brilliant pupil but sickness, which often assailed him and which eventually affected his legs, dulled his chances to read to a level he personally could have desired. As the sickness which almost crippled him continued to assail the young Hezekiah unabated, he lost his mother in 1982, in the quest to get a cure and since the sickness did not allow him to complete his secondary education, his father had to hand him over to Abela Oye, an auto mechanic in Osogbo as an apprentice for a four-year training, but he eventually spent six years.
The Osogbo vocational training was to change the course of his life as he joined the Christ Apostolic Church as a member in 1983 on the day he arrived in the town to commence his four-year apprenticeship as a mechanic. He accepted Jesus as his personal Lord and Saviour and began to devote his life to fasting and prayer. He received healing for his leg problem and did away with crutches. With this miracle, he told God he was going to serve Him in the Christ Apostolic Church forever.
His call into the ministry came soon after he became a truly born again Christian as he devoted himself to God through prayers, fasting, Bible reading and evangelism. Alone in the church one night, in 1985, he saw Jesus Christ and Apostle Babalola in what seems like a daylight vision. They told him: "We are sending you on a mission in Christ Apostolic Church. You must be obedient and must not copy anybody".
After completing apprenticeship for six years and having served as a journey-man for another two years, he decided to go solo. He tried establishing his own mechanic workshop but all to no avail. He was getting poorer. He had to combine mechanic work with doing menial jobs like carrying goods for people, doing menial jobs on farms as a labourer and just anything for survival. Worried on how to break the poverty shackles, Oladeji continued to seek God's face in fasting and prayers. He enrolled at Babajide School of Prophets and Evangelist in 1992. Midway on the course, God told Prophet Babajide to single him out for graduation. Prophet Babajide told him, "God had taught you from heaven". This was during the headship of Pastor Olaniyi. Prophet Babajide signed his certificate and asked him to go and commence his ministerial work but Oladeji did not heed the call. He hid the certificate in a box under his bed and began to continue seeking breakthrough from his mechanic work, yet the work did not prosper as he began to live from hand to mouth.
Struggle for Survival
In 1993, God told him to observe seven days fasting and prayers on the mountain at Efon Alaaye. On that mountain, God told him that he would give him (Oladeji) everything he wanted materially within two years. After the two years, he must stop secular work and start the mission God committed to him. He told God: "But I have been doing your work since 1986. I pray, I fast, I do personal evangelism. So, what else do you want?" God told him: "Drop your secular work for full-time work in the ministry at the end of the two years".
He was highly expectant, but the promise seemed to take longer in getting fulfilled. As a result, Oladeji left Osun State in 1994 for the North where he hoped to make it big as a mechanic. He landed in Kontagora in Niger State. On the seventh day of his arrival in the town, God sent an angel to him. This angel appeared like a Hausa man and said: "You cannot make it in this town or in any other town in the north. Go back to your home state". He knew instantly that God was reminding him of the mission he gave to him and which he had thought he was fulfilling by engaging in fasting and prayer as well as street evangelism.
On his return to his home state God told him to go to Garage, Olode. In this town, according to Prophet Oladeji, "God opened the way for me". Within a short time, he had acquired wealth. He bought trailers, trucks and commercial transport. He became a big transporter. His transport company operated with the name: "Jesus' Power”. At that point, he was no longer enthusiastic in going into full-time ministry although he was doing evangelism and was establishing churches. but he remained stuck to his mechanic work. Once the churches were established, he handed them over to those who would run them. The first crusade he held in Port Harcourt resulted in the establishment of Canaan Land in the city.
Soon, God was to teach him an unforgettable lesson that His call is without repentance. Between 1995 and 1996, his vehicles began to be involved in accidents. Many of them were destroyed. One of his commercial buses had a fatal accident in which two people died. The news of the dead passengers saddened him. According to him, the accident happened around midday. He
