Apostle Alfred Theophilus Babatunde Williams, LLB(Hons), LLM Inter Bus. Law, MCIArb Apostle Alfred T. B. Williams was personally commissioned by the Lord Jesus Christ in 1984. On 3rd March 1990, he founded Christ Faith Tabernacle (CFT) International Churches—a thriving global ministry that has raised countless leaders, planted churches across nations, and served as a prophetic voice, faithfully delivering God’s divine instruction to individuals, institutions, and governments. At the heart of CFT’s mission is a divine mandate to build overcomers for tomorrow—believers who are spiritually empowered to stand firm in their faith, walk in their God-given authority, and demonstrate the love and power of Christ. CFT is dedicated to equipping individuals with the faith, wisdom, and godly character needed to transform lives, families, and communities through the power of the Gospel. Apostle Williams is actively engaged in global evangelistic crusades, business summits, and leadership training. Through his ministry, millions have experienced salvation, the sick have been healed, and the powers of darkness have been overcome in the name of Jesus. God continues to confirm His Word with miraculous signs and wonders—including the blind receiving their sight, the lame walking, and many testifying of divine encounters through the Holy Spirit. He is widely recognised for his prophetic accuracy and apostolic authority, which have not only impacted churches but also extended into government institutions and national leadership. Apostle Williams has been invited by presidents of nations to teach on the strategic role of the Church in national development, governance, and godly leadership. In addition to his pastoral ministry, Apostle Williams has served as Chair of the Board of the African Caribbean Evangelical Alliance of Great Britain and as a board member of Liberty Counsel (USA), a Christian legal advocacy organisation. He is also the Pioneer of the Jesus City Project—a 430-acre development initiative comprising social housing, a hospital, educational institutions, leisure facilities, and commercial enterprises, all aimed at holistic spiritual and societal transformation. A respected leadership teacher and mentor, Apostle Williams is the creator of the 21st Century Leadership framework—a highly regarded resource exploring key themes such as High-Impact Leadership, Sourcing Ability and Continuity, Navigating Global Complexities, and Sustainable Leadership. His insights empower leaders across various sectors to lead with vision, excellence, and Kingdom values. Apostle Williams’ sermons are more than teachings—they are divine impartations that equip believers to build a deep, intimate relationship with God and walk in the fullness of their spiritual authority. His messages call the Church to embrace Jesus’ Great Commission (Matthew 28:18–20): to make disciples of all nations, proclaim the Gospel, and advance the Kingdom of God with boldness, integrity, and love.

Are you ready for the return of Jesus, or are you spiritually asleep? In this stirring convention message, Apostle Williams shares that the true purpose of the gathering is to build end-time ministers prepared for both their own readiness and that of God’s people at Christ’s return. He warns that many in the church lack a real understanding of Jesus, salvation, or grace, echoing Christ’s own question: “When I come, will I find faith?” The teaching contrasts theological head knowledge with the life-giving truth that comes directly from the Holy Spirit, noting that “the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.” Drawing from John 16:13, Apostle Williams highlights the Spirit’s role in guiding believers into all truth, while warning that wickedness blinds spiritual understanding—only those continually purified and walking in the fear of God will truly discern the times.
 
Underscoring the urgency of the hour, Apostle Williams reminds listeners that the rapture could happen at any moment, citing recent discussions about prophetic dates not to predict, but to awaken the church. Drawing from Daniel 12:10 and 2 Corinthians 7:1-2, he explains that the “wise” who hear the trumpet will be those spotless, refined, and purified daily—living in holiness and reverence for Christ. He cautions ministers against the tragedy of being left behind or seeing their flock unprepared, urging all believers to prioritize spiritual readiness over worldly distractions. The call is clear: walk in righteousness, live in the fear of God, and stay alert for the day when the Lord returns.

In the past 30 years, the church has disintegrated from a message of holiness to one of prosperity, deliverance, and a watered-down grace that suggests Christians can live in sin without consequence. But the bible makes it clear that not everyone who attends church, preaches, or holds religious titles (like Pope, Bishop, Apostle) will be raptured, but only those that do the will of the Father.
When Jesus returns, it will be like the day of his ascension and he will reward everyone according to their works. So we must stop living in sin, be reconciled with God, and live a life of holiness and Christ-likeness so we are not caught by surprise when the Groom returns for his Bride.
Key scriptures:Revelation 22:12-14, 1 Chronicles 28:9, Matthew 7:21,  1 Thessalonians 4:13-17, Acts 1:8-11, Matthew 24:36,  1 Thessalonians 5:1-9 and Romans 6:1-2.

In this episode, Apostle Williams touches on the Rapture, its timing, and the qualifications for believers to be part of it. He discusses what the rapture entails and the signs indicating its imminent arrival which include: wars, famines, societal decay and a redefinition of morality. Apostle Williams emphasises the importance of being truly led by the Holy Spirit and adhering to biblical teachings and genuine faith instead of superficial church attendance and worldly distractions.
He urges the church to examine their spiritual readiness for Christ's return and warns that only those whose names are in the Lamb's Book of Life and who live righteously will be raptured, while highlighting behaviours that would prevent entry into heaven.

What if the miraculous wasn’t reserved for a select few, but was your spiritual birthright? Today, Apostle Williams unpacks the benefits and authority given to believers through the righteousness of Christ. He emphasizes that miracles, healings, and casting out devils are not exclusive to pastors or spiritual leaders but are available to all who believe. Citing Mark 16:17 and Acts 3:16, he teaches that faith in the name of Jesus—not fasting—is the true catalyst for supernatural results, while fasting serves as a means of sanctification. He challenges listeners to embrace the gift of tongues, understand their divine authority, and walk in the boldness of the Spirit, just as Jesus intended in Luke 10 and 1 Corinthians 12.
 
Apostle goes on to highlight the indispensable role of the Holy Spirit, who intercedes through unutterable groans and reveals the deep things of God that no human mind can conceive (Romans 8:26-27, 1 Corinthians 2:9-11). He urges believers to develop a consistent, intimate relationship with the Spirit, seeking God’s mind in every area of life. This revelation, he explains, leads to peace, discernment, and alignment with God's perfect will. Drawing from Deuteronomy 29:29, Ephesians 6:18, and Jude 20, he concludes by affirming that spiritual truths are spiritually discerned, and only those walking closely with the Spirit can truly unlock God's mysteries and live with kingdom confidence.

What if revelation wasn't reserved for a few, but promised to all the righteous? In this message that opens July as the "Month of Revelation," Apostle Williams teaches that every believer made righteous by the blood of Jesus has the divine right to receive insight directly from God. Righteousness, he explains, is not earned by works or behaviour but is freely imputed through faith in Christ, making each born-again Christian the very “righteousness of God.” While salvation comes by grace, Apostle Williams reminds listeners that they are saved to do good works, allowing the character of Christ to form in them and lead to a life that turns from sin—not by personal effort but through reliance on God’s grace.
 
Central to this transformation is the Holy Spirit, who, according to Romans 8:26-27, intercedes for believers and empowers their weakness with divine strength. Apostle Williams reveals that true prayer is not about schedule but relationship—“love hours” with God, where intimacy takes priority over routine. Through anointed tools like Psalms and the Lord’s Prayer, believers are invited to journey into the “heart of the Father.” The message concludes with a prophetic anointing for ease in every area of struggle, urging believers to let love—not duty—fuel their giving, intercession, and service, as the church prepares to reveal God’s glory in a world soon to be shaken.

What does it truly mean to walk in righteousness—especially in a time when the signs of the end are all around us? In this timely message, Apostle Williams unpacks the urgency of living righteously in what he calls “the appointed time” and “the Year of the Righteous.” Citing a vision of believers preaching, healing, and driving out evil spirits, he warns that church attendance alone will not prepare anyone for the rapture. Instead, only those who live in full commitment to Christ—those who have “washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb”—will be ready when He returns. Referencing figures like Noah, Job, and Abraham, Apostle Williams outlines what sets the righteous apart: they walk with God, fear Him, and shun evil.
 
He then shares nine “rules of engagement” for a righteous life, including prayer, fasting, holiness, and peace. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 10, Apostle Williams warns against idolatry, sexual sin, grumbling, and blending Christian life with occult or cultural practices such as horoscopes or traditional rites that honour demons. He stresses that “everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial,” and urges believers to live for God’s glory and the salvation of others. It’s a call to purity, power, and preparedness in these prophetic times.

What does it truly mean to walk in righteousness as a believer today? In this sermon, Apostle unpacks the concept of righteousness under the New Covenant, explaining that it is no longer credited through works or law, but imputed through faith in Christ. Citing figures like Noah, Abraham, and Job, he explains that while they were credited as righteous for walking with God and fearing Him, New Testament believers are now made the righteousness of God through Jesus’s sacrifice (2 Corinthians 5:21). This new identity is not earned but received—granting believers divine capacity, spiritual authority, and complete freedom from condemnation, curses, and Satan’s jurisdiction.
 
Apostle Williams urges believers to live with the awareness that God's Spirit dwells within them, enabling them to manifest Christ in everyday life. Righteousness is not just a title—it transforms how believers think, pray, and act. A righteous person walks with God, shuns evil, seeks peace, and lives in holiness (Hebrews 12:14). He encourages fasting, praying in the Spirit, and daily walking with God as key to spiritual sharpness. This understanding leads to a confident, empowered Christian life—where the believer lives as God intended: free, full of authority, and fruitful in every way.

What does it really mean to walk in righteousness—and how does that shape every part of your life? This week, Apostle Williams has been teaching on "Walking in Righteousness," revealing that righteousness under the New Covenant is not something earned but a gift from God, bestowed through Jesus Christ. Building from Romans 4:3, where Abraham’s faith was credited as righteousness, Apostle Williams shows that believers today are not just credited but made the righteousness of God, as confirmed in 2 Corinthians 5:21. This transformation is rooted in the promises of the New Covenant from Jeremiah 31 and reaffirmed in Hebrews 8, where God declares that He will "remember their sins no more." With this divine endowment comes freedom—not only from the constraints of the Old Law but also from outdated doctrines like generational curses, corrected in Ezekiel 18, where God states that each person is responsible for their own sin.
 
Yet this gift of righteousness is not a license for passivity. Apostle Williams teaches that true righteousness results in visible godliness—manifested in how believers care for their health, conduct business, lead their homes, and engage with the world. He reinforces the biblical truth that faith without works is dead (James 2:14-26) and urges Christians to demonstrate their righteous nature through practical action. Quoting God’s charge to Abraham in Genesis 17:1-2, he encourages every believer to "walk before God and be blameless," just as Enoch walked with God in Genesis 5. The message closes with a call to spiritual awareness, reminding listeners that actions are born from thoughts, and only by walking with God daily can they live in alignment with their divine identity and overcome life’s challenges with authority.

What does it really mean to be righteous in God’s eyes? Here, Apostle unpacks the true definition of "Walking in Righteousness," challenging common assumptions. He explains that righteousness is not about perfection or good works, but about being blameless and upright through faith in God. Drawing from the examples of Abraham and Paul’s writings in Romans 4, Apostle Williams highlights how righteousness was credited to Abraham before the law existed, solely because he believed. Now, under the New Covenant, righteousness is no longer credited but imputed to believers—transferred freely through the finished work of Christ. Referencing 2 Corinthians 5:21, he affirms that Jesus, who knew no sin, became sin so that we might become the righteousness of God.
 
This truth has sweeping implications: because of Jesus’ sacrifice, God no longer remembers our sins (Hebrews 8:12, Romans 4:7-8), and the law no longer has authority over those in Christ. Believers have been rescued from darkness (Colossians 1:13) and are no longer subject to generational curses or punishment for past sins. Apostle Williams urges listeners not to let Satan use guilt to rob them of their inheritance. Instead, he calls every believer to embrace this grace-filled identity, walking confidently in God's righteousness—not by works, but by faith. This revelation empowers believers to fulfil their divine purpose, knowing that God sees them as righteous through Christ.

How does righteousness affect your body, mind, and spirit? In this sermon, Apostle Williams expands on “walking in righteousness” by connecting the dots between godliness and holistic well-being. Quoting 1 Timothy 4:8, he explains that while physical exercise offers some benefit, godliness is profitable in all things, including health. A godly life naturally incorporates wise habits—like eating well, exercising, and fasting—which foster physical strength and immunity. Apostle Williams also underscores the impact of mental and emotional purity, noting that malice, bitterness, or unresolved pain can manifest as physical illness, including depression. Maintaining a good mind and pure heart, he says, is not only scriptural but essential for vibrant health. He even points to Paul's miraculous survival after a viper bite as evidence of the divine immunity available through righteousness.
 
The sermon goes deeper to clarify that righteousness isn’t earned through law or moral effort but is received through faith in God. Using Noah, Abraham, and Job as examples, Apostle Williams illustrates that each was considered righteous because they believed, feared, and walked with God. This principle is fulfilled in Christ: New Testament believers don’t just receive righteousness by credit—it is imputed through the finished work of Jesus. Referencing Romans 3:21-22 and Romans 4:7-8, he explains that all who believe are justified freely by God’s grace, and their sins are completely obliterated, never to be counted against them. True righteousness, he concludes, is not performance—it is the life of one whose faith aligns with God’s will, producing blamelessness, divine favour, and the power to overcome both sin and sickness.
