Her Eminence, Dr. Mrs. Eunice Olufunke Babayemi JP. (lya-Ewe) was born on December 28, 1942, to the family of the Late Mr. and Mrs. Omokehinde Adubiaro of Odo-Ado, Ado-Ekiti. She attended St. Thomas and St. Saviours Schools in Ado-Ekiti. She is happily married with children.
Until her call into the service of God in 1974, she was a trader. She suffered temporary barrenness which made her become really worried that she went about for help so that she could have more children. This problem made her leave her former Church (Anglican) for the Church of the Lord in 1974. On getting there, God bestowed on her the gift of the Holy Spirit, having fasted for 40 days (nights and days.) God performed a lot of miracles through her. God also answered her by giving her the fruits of the womb. To show appreciation to God for answering her prayers, she vowed that she would remain in the Church and take people with problems, especially, barren women, to the mountaintop to meet the Lord for solutions to their problems. She has maintained her vow faithfully till today. This is the secret behind our mountain services.
The Church of the Lord organization became worried about her success spiritually, as she started to have followers who rather than go to the prophets in the Church of the Lord, preferred to see her about their problems. They set up a committee to investigate the type of spirit that uses her. They discovered that the power that controlled her is the power of God through the Holy Spirit. No one lights a candle and puts it under a table. So God directed in September 1986 that she should proceed and establish her own Church. (Isaiah 61, verses 1-end). The words of Isaiah in this chapter is true of our Mother, Dr. Mrs. E. O. Babayemi, the Primate. At that time while still in Dallimore Street, she woke up one day to find a candle in her hand. This is a symbol of light. God called her to establish an International Church, and she answered the call willingly. God promised that as no one shall be able to count the sand of the sea or the stars in the sky, no one will be able to count the number of Jerusalem branches for a multitude throughout the world.
