I attended Cherubim and Seraphim Church for two years before I left, and my experience there taught me so many lessons about Christianity and life. Let me share a few with you. Please read with an open mind o.
Just before I gained admission to the university, I attended a polytechnic where I earned a diploma. It was my first time leaving home alone, so my parents were understandably worried because I was quite young.
Since the polytechnic did not offer on-campus accommodation, we started house hunting. During that period, my dad’s aunt heard that I was coming to school in the city and offered that I live with her. After much consideration, I moved in.
Her husband was the founder of one of the well-known Cherubim and Seraphim churches in that city. He was a Primate and a heavily referenced spiritual leader within the denomination nationwide.
The church sat on a large expanse of land, with several houses belonging to the church. I remember one small house in particular where the spiritual leader would enter once a year. He had this yearly practice of going on a 21-day dry marathon fast and prayer. He would remain inside that house throughout, without stepping out. This man was deeply devoted.
Throughout my stay there, he never ate palm oil, salt, pepper, or any coloured food. Every church member knew this. I once asked how long he had lived that way, and I was told it had been decades.
When I first moved in, I would go out on Sundays looking for a Pentecostal church to attend because the church where my dad pastored did not have a branch in that city. After a few weeks of attending a church not too far from the house, my aunt asked why I didn’t want to attend their church, which was right there in the compound.
Well, long story short, I started attending C&S, and in no distant time, I had my first white garment.
Everything about their mode of worship was different: the order of service, the call and response, the incense, the candles, the colours of the garments and what each colour represented. There were also rules around women's purity and the white garment, especially as it concerns their monthly menstrual period.
I enjoy learning, so understanding this new expression of faith was fascinating for me.
I learned many lessons there, and my eyes were opened to several aspects of Christianity that the "average gospel” or Pentecostal Christian may not know.
The first lesson is this: Music is a portal.
Chai. I doubt there is any denomination that understands the depth and power of songs like C&S. I attended Apostolic Faith Church for three years (I will share my experience in this church another day). I experienced a different kind of musical depth there in Apostolic faith, but in C&S, songs can carry you fully into another realm.
To them, songs are not just for worship. Songs are tools for connecting with the heavens. They are portals for ascending and accessing the spirit realm.
Everywhere may look calm and normal one minute, but just wait until it is time for Ariya, that moment dedicated to singing and invoking the spirit, and you will see ordinary people transformed before your eyes.
People you were just greeting casually will suddenly begin to speak mysteries and deliver messages from a realm beyond them. You will see people vibrating in a different rhythm, and their dance steps will begin to carry movements that look almost angelic.
I always watched with so much fascination. Even young children were not left out.
Cherubim and Seraphim showed me that songs evoke spirits, and chants can launch a person deep into mysteries.
I later met a man from a completely different religion. He told me that in his religion, music is taboo. He does not listen to music, nor does he sing.
When I asked him why, he said evil spirits inhabit songs.
I could relate his explanation to my experience in C&S, not because C&S songs evoke evil spirits. Far from it, but because I had seen, with my own eyes, that music is truly a portal.
