🎉 *BIOGRAPHY & CELEBRATION OF REV. DR. ARC. ANDREW ABOLADE LADIPO* *JP*
*General Overseer* , The New Covenant Apostolic Christ Church International
*Theme Scripture*
“The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing.”
— Psalm 92:12–14
*Early Life and Covenant Beginning*
Born on September 11, 1950, Rev. Dr. Arc. Andrew Abolade Ladipo entered the world as a covenant child, destined by God for greatness. From his youthful days, he embodied the wisdom of Ecclesiastes 12:1:
> “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth…”
His passion for God and desire for service mirrored the biblical Samuel, who ministered before the Lord as a child (1 Samuel 2:18).
*Call into Ministry*
Though a Chartered Architect by profession, his divine assignment outweighed his secular training. Over five decades ago, during a prophetic encounter at the church headquarters in Ibadan under Prophetess Dr. Abigail Olubunmi Akindele, the Lord separated him for the Gospel.
1979 – Ordained as a Prophet under the Holy Order of Cherubim & Seraphim Movement, London.
1990 – Ordained as a Reverend after ministerial training at the Theological Seminary, Nigeria.
Like Jeremiah 1:5, his calling has been clear and certain:
> “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”
*Ministry Impact and Service*
As General Overseer of The New Covenant Apostolic Christ Church International, Rev. Dr. Ladipo has carried the light of Christ from Africa to Europe, blessing countless lives. His ministry has been marked by:
The salvation of souls through the preaching of Christ crucified (Romans 1:16).
Deliverances, healings, and prophetic utterances by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Raising and mentoring ministers for the end-time harvest (2 Timothy 2:2).
A legacy of integrity, holiness, and sacrificial service.
His life demonstrates the:
“True greatness is not in possessions but in the lives you transform.”
*Architect of Structures and Souls*
Beyond being a preacher, he is a Chartered Architect who has contributed to landmark developments at home and abroad. Yet his greatest architecture is not in stone, but in building men and women into spiritual houses unto the Lord (1 Peter 2:5).
*Family Life*
For over 50 blessed years, Rev. Dr. Ladipo has been joyfully married to Rev. Mrs. Esther Remilekun Ladipo, a virtuous woman of God, tireless encourager, and co-laborer in ministry (Proverbs 31:10–12). Together, they are blessed with children and grandchildren who reflect their covenant walk with God.
*“Behind every great general is a strong covenant partner who holds up his hands in prayer.”*
*A Legacy at 75*
At 75 years, Rev. Dr. Ladipo is not retiring but refiring for greater exploits. He embodies Isaiah 40:31:
> “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles…”
He remains a: Father to many, Mentor to ministers, Leader in the body of Christ, and Apostle of the Cross with a prophetic voice for the nations.
*“Age does not diminish the anointing; it deepens it.”*
*Tribute and Prayer*
On this milestone, the entire New Covenant Apostolic Christ Church International family worldwide celebrates a father in the faith, a mentor of leaders, and a vessel of God’s glory.
*Our prayer* : That his strength be renewed daily (Psalm 71:9).
That his latter end be greater than his beginning (Job 8:7).
That his impact echo through generations yet unborn.
🎂 *HAPPY 75th BIRTHDAY, GOD’S GENERAL!* 🎂
May your days be long, your anointing fresh, and your legacy everlasting.
