In her Founder’s Day message marking the ministry’s 35 years of existence, Rev. Dr. Mrs. Ogedengbe expressed profound gratitude to God for His faithfulness, goodness, mercy and sustaining grace over the ministry since its inception.
Describing the anniversary as a testimony to God’s enduring faithfulness, she prayed that His goodness, mercy, grace and blessings would continually abide with the ministry and its members.
She also acknowledged the contributions and sacrifices of everyone who had laboured in the ministry over the years, praying that their services and commitment to the commission would receive divine rewards.
“To everyone that has been labouring in this commission from inception till now, in various capacities, I pray for you, that your labour shall be rewarded handsomely and may the good Lord accept your sacrifices in Jesus’ name,” she said.
Reaffirming the prophetic significance of the anniversary year, the General Overseer declared it a year of “Supernatural Advancement” and a season of harvest and elevation, expressing the hope that members and their families would experience plentiful and overflowing blessings.
She further prayed for an open heaven over the ongoing convention, declaring that the dew of heaven and the fatness of the earth would be the portion of the ministry and its members, in line with Genesis 27:28.
Looking ahead to the future of the ministry, Rev. Dr. Mrs. Ogedengbe expressed confidence in its continued growth and expansion, declaring that God would multiply the ministry, ensuring that it would not diminish or remain small.
Quoting Jeremiah 30:19, she declared: “The Lord will multiply us, we shall not be few, and He will glorify us, and we shall not be small.”
She concluded her message with a celebratory declaration of gratitude to God and congratulations to members and associates of the ministry on its 35th anniversary.
