The leadership of Watchtower Christian Assembly, Ikeja, Lagos, rolled out the drums on Sunday, September 25, 2022, to celebrate the existence of the church for a decade.
The senior pastor of the church, Samuel Adeleke Olayinka, expressed gratitude to God for taking the ministry to greater heights, and helping the church to expand to Ogun State, where it currently has three other branches.
During the service, the church’s men, women, youths, and children were beautifully dressed, dancing to songs from the choir as they worshipped God.
The church was filled up such that some congregants had to remain standing for the duration of the celebration service themed My Help.
Besides singing and dancing, the anniversary was celebrated with different activities that those who attended will not forget in a hurry.
Pastor Sam informed the congregation that the celebration was not just about singing the church’s praise but reflecting on God’s benevolence, goodness and mercies within the 10 years of its establishment.
He further noted that the purpose of the church was to contribute its quota to the expansion of Christ’s Kingdom by getting men “breaded, buttered, bettered, bolstered and boosted.”
“We achieve this purpose and mission by evolving a system of hunger for the Word. We believe the Word of God is the ultimate mechanism to get life work and drive it into success and fulfilment. So, we mobilise souls and apply both conservative and modern creative techniques to execute the great commission, to get their hearts open to their ultimate need,” he added.
He also said life was interesting and worthwhile when God is given the driver’s seat. This is appropriated if His ideas, principles and ways are fully embraced (Job 22:23-30).
On his part, the guest minister, Pastor Tokunbo Oshokoya, a popular tele-evangelist, in his sermon, stressed the need to leverage God’s help, which is ever available, to secure all-round rest, peace and prosperity in every Christian’s life.
