Prophet Michael Olowere (PMO) is one of the foremost prophets within the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) in Nigeria. Existing works on CAC have focused mainly on its origin and growth, contributions of its alms, other CAC prophets and leadership crises, with little attention paid to the contributions of PMO. The contributions of PMO to the expansion of CAC in Ibadanland, from 1978 to 2015, were examined with a view to determining his ministerial significance.

Prophet Michael Ojo Olowere got the Baba Automatic appellation many years ago when God spoke to him in a dream. In that dream, he was shown the way through which God wanted people to call on Him, and through which their prayers would be answered. He said if they called the name, ‘Jesus’ and responded with ‘Power,’ He would work wonders in the lives of people. God also instructed him in that revelation to start a programme tagged Automatic Prayer. That was how he started and today, the attendance for that programme features more than 35,000 people, who come from within and outside Nigeria.

The contributions of PMO to the expansion of CAC were the establishment of church assemblies and activities, a theological institute, health centres, and socio-economic empowerment. Between 1978 and 2015, PMO established 48 church assemblies in Ibadan land and a bi-weekly interdenominational programme tagged “Automatic Prayer” in November 1995. He advanced ecumenism through his financial contributions towards the mission works in other denominations and counselling of ministers from other churches through counselling.

He promoted theological education through the establishment of Thy Will Theological Institute (1997). He also engaged in ministerial tutelage: a unique concept derived from what existed in other seminaries, and through it, over 2000 ministers were trained between 1997 and 2015 in the art of effective ministering.

He emphasized gender equality in church ministry by engaging 18 prophetesses and 32 lady evangelists in active church ministry. In health, he founded 13 mid-wives centres in Ibadan between 1978 and 2015 and he also established three Divine-based healing centres in Kajola (1989), Ashi (2000) and Olodo (2005).

Baba Olowere’s ministry contributed to infrastructural development: the building of two guest houses at Ashi (2005) and Olodo (2010) which gave job opportunities to people; the Donation of a police post at Olodo (2013); the construction of roads in Agbowo (1989) as well digging of a borehole at Agbowo (2004), organization of Workers’ Cooperative Society at Ashi (2002), supply of electricity at Ashi (2006) and also economic empowerment of 50 youths and 60 widows.

These were achieved in spite of educational constraints, insufficient funds, and heavy local levies. The contributions of Prophet Michael Olowere significantly expanded CAC in Ibadan land by establishing new churches, fostering ecumenism and engaging the female gender.
