He emphasized that this marks a new chapter for the church, which necessitates certain actions to align with its future goals, including a retreat and the upcoming ordinations.

This process brings together long-standing members and newcomers alike for a unified purpose.”

He also highlighted the significance of the event for the congregation, saying, “It allows the church members to offer their General Overseer to the Holy Ghost and Almighty God for renewed anointing and sanctification for the work ahead. This ceremony will affirm our faith in the miracles that the Lord has already promised to our church.”

Together, we will pray for God’s continued guidance and blessings on our church, body of Christ , Nigeria and peace in the world.”
