The Life & Ministry of Moses Orimolade Tunolase.
Moses Orimolade Tunolase -- Founder of Cherubim and Seraphim Church (C&S). — (1879 to 1933) — the man who brought a powerful spiritual awakening to Nigeria.
Born in Ikare, Ondo State, Moses faced challenges from birth. A mysterious illness left him partially crippled, yet his spirit burned with divine fire.
He could barely walk — but he could pray.
He had no formal education — but he had revelation.
He owned no pulpit — yet the whole nation became his platform.
Through long hours of prayer and fasting, God anointed him to preach repentance, holiness, and healing. His ministry birthed visions, miracles, and revival that shook the land.
In 1925, God used his partnership with Christiana Abiodun Akinsowon to birth the Cherubim and Seraphim Church (C&S) — one of the first indigenous Christian movements in West Africa.
He proved that God can be worshiped in African ways — with purity, prayer, and power.
Even after his death in 1933, his spiritual fire continues to burn through generations.
