The Lagos State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has pledged its support for churches in the state to deepen collaboration and build capacity of churches towards evangelism in the state.
CAN stated this at the recently concluded ‘Divine Liberation’ crusade organised by the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) Ikeja Province, held at the Police College ground in Ikeja. According to CAN, the field is very ripe for harvest hence, the need to support churches in the state that are desirous of soulwinning.
Alexander Bamgbola, chairman, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Lagos State chapter, in his keynote address said the CAN Lagos is going to support all churches desirous of winning souls to God.
According to Bamgbola, PFN Ikeja province has started what is going to shake the spiritual landscape of the Ikeja province and beyond.
Represented by Taiwo Ajose, the director of social mobilisation of the Lagos CAN, Bamgbola stated that the church of God in Nigeria has been going through a lot in regard of winning souls to the kingdom; hence the ‘Ten thousand souls project crusade’ of PFN Ikeja Province should be supported by all.
John Okwok, the general overseer of City of Life Miracle Church, in his sermon said liberation is the action of setting individual or a family free. This he said is to be saved and rescued from the bondage of Satan.
According to him, everybody needs liberation and Jesus has brought that liberation to mankind. Therefore, all that is needed is to come unto Jesus for liberation.
“He is the way maker; so, the way maker says come. Jesus is the Saviour of the world, the Redeemer, the Deliverer,” Okwok said, emphasising that there is rest in Jesus.
The open air crusade started with a free medical check up on Thursday 14, November, where people with several ailments were attended to by the medical team of the PFN.
The crusade also witnessed the ministers’ fire conference. The crusade was also streamed live.
