Prophet Elijah Ariyo, an indigene of Ilesa, Osun State, is the Visioneer and senior pastor of CAC Christ International Dominion Prayer Assembly. He is a mentor and a teacher who is always concerned about the growth of youths and families in general.
Prophet Elijah Ariyo has been ministering as a teenager after the demise of his father who was a great Prophet of God. His father handed over the mantle to him to continue with his work. Ever since, God has been using him in different states and countries.
Before God inspired him to start a church, he formed a group that was strictly for men called the Successful Generation. The group started in 2003 when men of valor gathered purposely for prayer because God told him (Prophet Elijah Ariyo) that revival was about to commence. The Youths that formed the group were interdenominational, coming together 3days in a week and going to the mountains to know the mind of God for them. Today, the group that started with about twenty men in Nigeria has grown and established in a different part of the world producing successful entrepreneurs, Pastors, IT professionals, and medical practitioners as God promised. They partook in 31 days of white fasting which is now being observed by everyone connected to the ministry every August called “Bethel”.
After this, a program themed: 'Weep No More' started in 2007 and was observed twice a month, every 2nd and 3rd Friday of every month which led to the establishment of the church in September 2008 in Ketu, Lagos Nigeria. The church was initially called DPPF (Dominion Partner Prayer Fellowship) after which God instructed Prophet Elijah Ariyo to include 'International' in the name. The name was later changed and registered as CAC Christ International Dominion Prayer Assembly (CAC CIDPA) in 2010.
In the same year, God also used him to start another mountain program themed 'Night of Great Visitation', and this continued up to when he finally relocated to the USA in 2017 as led by God.
Prophet Elijah Ariyo continued with the work of God in Maryland, USA establishing different programs like 7 hours with 7 Prophets, 7 Sundays (themed “Possess your Possession; Divine Settlement quarterly program held at CAC prayer city in Pennsylvania, 'Weep No more' an online program held every Monday and Thursday, taking people to mountains for intensive prayers and deliverance. Many testimonies have been generated through his ministry. The Divine Settlement program brought together all churches, through which an Empowerment and Movement team was formed. The group intercedes in prayers for the success of the program.
To the glory of God, Prophet Elijah Ariyo established and registered CAC Christ International Dominion Prayer Assembly (CAC CIDPA) in the USA in 2017."
