By 'Femi Okutubo
After a period of absence of about three-and-a-half years, accomplished Christian leader and billionaire Philanthropist - Rev. Mother (Dr) Captain Esther Abimbola Ajayi has returned to the United Kingdom from Nigeria.
Rev. Ajayi returned to Nigeria voluntarily at the end of 2017 with the view of regularising her immigration status in the UK.
Her trip to Lagos was an opportunity to make giant strides in Nigeria and beyond - growing the work she had commenced in the UK.
Her philanthropy in Nigeria and some other parts of the Continent increased with numerous beneficiaries. She also travelled to numerous countries including Ghna, Rwanda, Liberia, Benin Republic, St. Kitts, United States of America and Israel.
In July 2018, the second edition of Celebrate The Comforter - a joint Revival of the Cherubim and Seraphim Church (C&S) and Celestial Church of Christ (CCC) which she founded and sponsored took place in New York. The third edition of the event took place in 2019 at Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos.
She was a major sponsor of the Ovation Carols.
She has played major financial roles in numerous projects including the Seraphim Land at Kilometer 40 on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway; Moses Orimolade University, Omu-Aran in Nigeria's Kwara State; and the St. Moses Orimolade Holy Land project at Ijaiye, Ojokoro. She has also sponsored many on pilgrimages to Jerusalem and brought succor to the sick by paying their medical bills.
The lover of youths has also sponsored many of their programmes, paid educational bills and empowered many to start their businesses.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, she offered a helping hand by way of palliatives to the less-privileged.
Captain Esther Ajayi was born and grew up in Lagos Nigeria, where before dedicating her life to full time ministry, she excelled in the corporate world as a successful business woman. It was in Nigeria that she developed her Christian faith within the Cherubim & Seraphim Church.
As an avid theologian and scholar of the Bible, she holds a BA degree in Biblical Theology from Faith Bible College Sango-Otta along with other academic honors.
In 2007, she was led by God to start her own church named: Love of Christ Generation Church C&S in London. In 2015, the church moved into a newly renovated Cathedral in Clapham, London, where she now pastors a congregation with hundreds of worshippers and thousands of social media followers everyday.
A massive Cathedral of Love of Christ Generation Church C&S has been constructed in Victoria Island, Lagos and will be dedicated in September.
