The Assemblies of God Nigeria on Sunday, October 20, celebrated their National Praise Day. At Assemblies of God Church, Apo Mechanic Village Estate, Abuja, it was a joyous moment.
Rev. Clement Akpan, senior pastor
Special numbers and testimonies were presented by individual, the band (Edifiers), the youth choir and by the adult choir.
The senior pastor, Reverend Clement Akpan preached a message on the topic, Wonders of Divine Praise’. He said God is called ‘the man of battle’ because of humanity.
He took his text from the book of 2 Chronicles 20:15-25 where he read about the children of Israel who fought a battle only by singing, and how God destroyed the children of Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir who had gathered to fight against Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Jehoshaphat King of Judah.
The man of God encouraged his people to learn how to praise God in every situation. He said, “If you cannot pray, please learn how to praise.” It was indeed a great event.
Also in the service, a woman, Mrs. Helen Chukwu celebrated her 50 years birthday. The senior pastor commended her for having the courage to make her age known, unlike many women who prefer secrecy.
