While speaking on what inspired the annual spiritual fiesta, the presiding Pastor of Christ Apostolic Church, Ori Oke Baba Abiye, Ede, Osun State, Prophet Timothy Funso Akande (a.k.a Baba Abiye) said:"in 2010, God told me to gather people together once a year, and it will be a gathering of the saints and harvesting of souls. January to October is a time to labour on souls, but November shall be a month of harvesting souls. The concept of Abiye convention is that we are all abiku until we give our life to Christ; it is when we surrender our lives to God that will become Abiye. If you come to this world without being born again, you have come in vain. We emphasise more on salvation during the convention.
Commenting on what has been the greatest testimony recorded on the prayer mountain, Pastor Akande revealed that;"we have recorded incredible miracles. We used to write and print the miracles, but we had to stop because we lost count of what God was and is still doing. Whenever someone gives a testimony, I will just say another huge one is on the way. We have heard testimony of someone whose breast was affected by cancer and another new breast miraculously appeared. We have heard of the testimony of someone whose intestine was completely out of place, and after I laid hands on him and prayed that God should replace it, some minutes later, he went to the mountain to sleep and in his dream, he saw God appear in the form of a doctor, who operated on him, and that was the end of that problem.
"Another was about someone that drank the water we prayed upon during one of our Abiye conventions, after which she went back to her home in Lagos. One day, the woman was eating with her husband in their house and she asked her maid to bring her water, but the maid told her there was no water in the house. It was then she noticed the water in the keg she brought from the Abiye convention, which she drank from. Afterwards, she went to her doctor, who confirmed that she was pregnant and she subsequently delivered a baby boy. Interestingly, her doctor, who was also looking for the fruit of the womb, after being told about the miraculous conception, drank from the water and became pregnant too. So, we have had a lot of great testimonies."
