About “Ajaye Ni o; Ajaye”
“Ajaye Ni o; Ajaye” is the cliché that formed the foundations of the African Apostolic Church (TAAC) from the beginning. The cliché, expressed in Yoruba language, was coined from the name of the Place, where God instituted TAAC. The Settlement, formerly called “Ajalu” was changed to “Ajaye” by God. Today, Ajaye is a City between the town of Aramoko and Igede in Ekiti State, Nigeria, where the Missionary Headquarters of TAAC is located. “Ajaye” in Yoruba literally means Victory. Accordingly, it is a spiritual practice in TAAC parishes Worldwide to chant “Ajaye Ni o” and the congregation will respond “Ajaye”. This means the Church is affirming that Victory in Christ is certain. It is a spiritual cliché rooted in the word of God. Below are some of the scriptural passages that support the cliché.
Yet, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us (Romans 8:37).
The Lord will fight for you and you shall hold your Peace (Exodus 14:14)
And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the Lord, to deliver thee (Jeremiah 1:19)
The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways (Deuteronomy 28:7)
INDEED, AJAYE NI O; AJAYE!
