Every activity that has been planned to mark its 21 years of existence as a church will be dedicated to God for His faithfulness, according to the founder and senior pastor of the Grace Nation Church International, Dr Chris Okafor.
While unveiling plans to commemorate the event tagged, ‘Life In The Spirit’ which will run from Thursday, November 28 through Sunday, December 1, 2024, at the church’s headquarters in Ojodu-Berger, Lagos, Dr Okafor said he has every cause to celebrate God for His faithfulness in all of his years in his ministry which has now spanned more than two decades.
“From the very beginning when we were taking tentative steps like a baby learning to walk and up till now when we have reached adulthood, spreading our tentacles far and wide, with copious evidence of divine backing in all we have achieved, it has been God all the way,” Dr Okafor said.
“Grace Nation started as a church in a room, then to a school, and on to a single plot of land. It was quite a humble beginning with a lot of challenges. But that we have been able to conquer all the challenges, including an attempt on my life by kidnappers who held me captive for more than 50 days, is all due to the invisible but very supportive hands of God.
“I very much doubt that we would have been able to make the journey, or reach this far if God did not give us His backing all the way. Today, Grace Nation can be found in almost every state in Nigeria, as well as in several far flung places across the globe, as we continue to dig in deep to fulfill God’s soul-winning mandate.
“Through His continual presence in our ministry, millions of the oppressed, defeated and hopeless have found deliverance, healings and breakthroughs in all areas of their lives, thus further firing our zeal and commitment to the mandate.
“For all these, and more, we intend to roll out the red carpet, beat the drums of victory and dance to songs of joy to celebrate God Almighty for His abundant mercies and faithfulness all through the years,” he added.
The 3-day anniversary event begins with a reloaded version of the Prophecy, Healing and Deliverance’ (PHD) service which will hold on Thursday, November 28 from 8am, while the International Night of Prophecy and Solution’ follows from 8pm on Friday, November 29, 2024.
The event ends on Sunday, December 1, 2024 in what is easily the grand finale with a host of presentations ranging from drama, choreography, special songs renditions, Bible recitations, etc.
Chief host, Dr Chris Okafor and a coterie of his visiting pastors from the church’s many branches within and outside the country will be on hand to minister to the many worshippers that will attend the event.
