Indigenous prophetic church movements constitute a significant portion of Christianity in Africa and a unique spirit in African Christianity. Garrick Braide was the first to lead such a group in Nigeria in 1915. The Christ Apostolic Church is an ancient indigenous church in Nigeria; however, it appears that the church faces problems generated by the apparent confusion about the origin of the church. This confusion is evident in the 2018 centenary anniversary of the church, contrary to the Golden Jubilee organized in 1980. Similarly, the leaders often claim that CAC is the first indigenous Pentecostal church in Nigeria, whereas it is on record that Christ Army Church was established in 1916 by Braide and his followers. As a result, urgent need was required to interrogate the traditions of origin of these two indigenous church movements and their prophets.The findings revealed that Braide’s Christ Army Church preceded the Christ Apostolic Church of Babalola.

本土预言教会运动是非洲基督教的重要组成部分，也是非洲基督教的独特精神。 1915 年，加里克·布雷德 (Garrick Braide) 是尼日利亚第一个领导此类团体的人。基督使徒教会是尼日利亚古老的本土教会；然而，教会似乎面临着由于对教会起源的明显混淆而产生的问题。这种混乱在 2018 年教会成立一百周年纪念日中表现得很明显，这与 1980 年组织的金禧庆典相反。同样，领导人经常声称 CAC 是尼日利亚第一个本土五旬节教会，而有记录的是基督军教会成立1916 年由布雷德和他的追随者提出。因此，迫切需要追问这两个本土教会运动及其先知的起源传统。调查结果显示，布雷德基督军教会早于巴巴洛拉基督使徒教会。
