Official Video for “Ipe Awon Baba Wa” Premieres July 6

…Bolu Okanlawon Leads All-Star Gospel Collaboration for C&S Centenary. 

As the Cherubim and Seraphim Church marks a century of spiritual impact, consecration, and prophetic heritage, gospel and folk minister Bolu Okanlawon leads a remarkable gathering of anointed voices to birth an official anthem for this divine milestone, “Ipe Awon Baba Wa” (The Call of Our Fathers). The video, set to premiere on Sunday, July 6, 2025 at 7 PM on youtube, Ipe Awon Baba Wa / The Call of Our Fathers – Official Video | Cherubim & Seraphim Church @100

Rooted in remembrance, revival, and restoration, this powerful release is more than a song, it is a spiritual movement. Featuring gospel voices Fere Jesu, Seraph’s Praise, Pro. Gandonu Gabriel, Olu James, Inumidun Pearl, and Bukola Bethel, this collaboration carries the weight of history and the urgency of a prophetic call for the future.

Bolu Okanlawon, known for spiritually immersive songs like “Emi Mimo”, “Ope Nla”, and “Surulere”, shares the divine burden that birthed Ipe Awon Baba Wa, “The inspiration came from a deep yearning for revival in the body of Christ. As the church celebrates 100 years, it felt like a kairos moment, a time to remember the sacrifices of our spiritual forefathers, to stir up hunger for God, and to awaken a new generation to the ancient paths.”

Built on the pillars of Remembrance, Revival, and Reinforcement, the song echoes the heartbeats of patriarchs who pioneered the C&S Church, men and women forged in prayer, holiness, and prophetic obedience. “This project was never meant to be a solo effort,” Bolu says.

 “It’s a collective sound, a unified cry. Each featured artist brought a unique spiritual weight that elevated the message. The synergy, the divine alignment, it was more than music, it became a movement.”

And indeed, during production, the absence of rehearsals didn’t hinder the depth. Instead, it unveiled divine orchestration. “Lyrics flowed seamlessly from every minister. It was clear, God was writing this with us.”

When asked why he joined the project, Fere Jesu reflects, “I saw light the moment Minister Bolu shared the vision with me. It was as though I was there when he received it. The alignment in spirit, planning, and structure was divine.”

“Every verse of the song feels like a realm of its own. Even in seconds, it draws you into deep encounters. The unity and uniqueness of every minister made it an unforgettable experience.”

To Seraph’s Praise, this wasn’t just another feature, it was a divine assignment. “The moment I heard the title, I knew I had to be part of it. This wasn’t about performance, it was a prophetic call. It honours the legacy of the church I’m proud to be part of, and it speaks straight to the spirit.”

One line in particular pierced deeply, “Opo iji lo ja wa o, Aladura o dake adura...”
(Many were the storms, but the praying band never stopped. Forty years of intercession wasn’t in vain.)

“It reminds me of the resilience of our fathers. It’s a call to remain steadfast at the altar. Their sacrifices must not be wasted.”

Ipe Awon Baba Wa is not just a tribute, it is a prophetic baton passed to a new generation. It invites listeners into remembrance, calls for rekindled consecration, and reinforces the kingdom mandate for the next 100 years. As Bolu passionately declares, “This is more than a song. It is a spiritual landmark. A reminder of who we are, where we come from, and what we must carry into the future.”

Beyond the centenary, Ipe Awon Baba Wa is envisioned as a spiritual blueprint for the future, a reminder of identity and a clarion call to the next generation of believers and worshippers.“This song is a landmark,” Bolu says. “It’s a compass for the next century. It calls our youth back to consecration and reminds us all that we are stewards of a legacy we must not lose.”

The audio-visual experience promises to be a landmark moment for believers, worshippers, and lovers of gospel music worldwide. Audio Production by Arikeybson Studios and Video Production by Korrect Films.
