MOSES ORIMOLADE TUNOLASE
CHOSE THE CAPTAIN FOR THE
CHERUBIM AND SERAPHIM CHURCH
Before the day that a CAPTAIN would be chosen Orimolade announced his intention to the members and told them that they should be prepared . Many were happy , each thinking of himself as the suitable personality for the great post .
Many of the Elders thought the post would go to one of these Elders : Philip , Bada , Agbebi , Coker , Lawrence or Davies : many even though that Apostle Bada would be the right person . Some had started a sort of campaign and some had sewn the garment to be worn for the occasion . But surprisingly on the 29th of September , 1925 , Moses told them the Captain would be chosen at 9 a . m . that day . They wondered why he had not informed them before hand of the person to be chosen .
But exactly 9 O ' clock in the morning , he called the members outside . He prayed facing the four corners of the universe . Lastly , he faced the EAST and pronounced HOLY MICHAEL , HOLY MICHAEL , HOLY MICHAEL . YOU ARE THIS DAY CHOSEN TO BE THE CAPTAIN OF THIS BAND ON EARTH .
Immediately there appeared a greater light than that of the sun from the east coupled with a great wind . Every one there felt the movement of the Angel amidst them because they heard something patting them with wings but the light did not allow them to see the personality .
Elder J . O . Coker , who was an eye witness this event related this story to me , this is not a fable . He said that day , they were all amazed about this man , Orimolade , because they had never seen somebody calling on an Angel and receiving a prompt visible answer at an instance . Then he told them , to shout " Halleluyah " " Iye " ( Means ' LIFE ' as in Bread of Life ) and ' Hossanah ' seven times to shake the whole surrounding .
Then the Holy Spirit descend on the members and special songs for the great day were composed and taught the members by the men in Spirit . The first song that day was :
Stand up army of Salvation
Lift up the name of Jesus
For the Great day we see today
Is for Michael our Captain
Chorus :
Holy Michael Our Captain /2x
Lead this Band on our life's journey
And conquer Satan for us .
(Verse Seven which is the last verse )
When the last trumpet shall be blow
Oh ! Our God , we beseech Thee ,
Don't allow Satan to sn**ch us
Crown us with the crown of life
Chr: Holy Michael , etc .

HAPPY HOLY MICHAEL DAY TO YOU ALL
