Pastor Dumps Christianity For Islam, Converts Church To Mosque

The founder and leader of Apata Adu­ra Cherubim and Seraphim Church,
Ekute, Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, former Pastor Adekunle Afolabi has
converted to Islam.

Afolabi accepted the teachings of Prophet Muhammadu (SAW) after
practicing Christianity for over 25 years where he even rose to become
the General Overseer of his church.

Explaining the reason behind his conversion, the 45-year-old man now
addressed as Alfa Abubakar Afolabi, said he had a divine encounter
with a stranger in his dreams.

He said the man showed him certain flaws in Christianity and convinced
him that indeed Islam is the only religion that leads to heaven.

Speaking to The Sun, he said had not regrets swapping to the other religion.

On his foray into Islamic region, the cleric said, "I was preparing
for the anniversary when I started hav­ing dreams that eventually led
to my conversion. At first in the dreams, I noticed my members were
sitting on the floor in the church and some of them were covering
their heads. I also saw that people were washing their hands and feet
before entering the church just like it is done in Islam".

Asked if he still engaged in some spiritual activities like he did
while in Christianity, Afolabi said, "rendering spiritual help is
given to all men by God for their own use, so the wisdom of it is
given to me by God, he didn't take it away from me because that is
different from religion. It is a way of livelihood; so, if any one
falls sick, wants to give birth, is having stillbirth, stagnation at
work, that is all what we use that for. He showed me places in the
Bible where many prayed to God in Islamic way. By this praying, I mean
to kneel down and bow down your head and face down".

On how his church members reacted when he decided to dump
Christianity, he said, "They all left me the day I invited an Imam to
come and preach in my church, the day of our anniversary. I have also
been stri*ped of my position as president of our association. The only
thing the pastors do once in a while is to call to ask me if indeed I
still want to continue in the new faith and I usually confirm it. As
for friends, some have stayed, while others have left".
