Rhema Church celebrates 30th Anniversary Convention

Presiding Bishop of Rhema Christian Church and Towers, Dr. Taiwo Akinola has lamented the devastating state of  Sango-Ota roads, saying it has kept people away from their homes for about five months, as the church set to begin its 2021 convention from November 7 to 14, 2021.
The cleric disclosed this at a world press conference to herald the 30th anniversary convention of the mission held at the church premises, Sango-Ota, Ogun State.
According to Bishop Akinola, “we want to plead with Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State to, as a matter of urgency, fix the road. Sango-Ota road has kept people living within that area away from their homes for about five months. It is a shame that we find ourselves in this situation and there is need for the government to fix the road.”
The man of God said that there is little churches could do on the issue, saying that they could only pray, advice and give governments guidelines.
According to him, “The proceeds from petroleum products being shared between the federal and state governments is much, so they have the power to fix the road”.
On the forthcoming convention that will hold at the Camp Ground in the City of Zion, Moluferin, Wasinmi, on Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway, Ogun State, Bishop Akinola said that people coming all over the world would experience a “New Thing,” which is the theme of the programme.
“This year’s Convention, with the theme “A New Thing”, inspired by Isaiah 43:19, is our banner for this season of divine exploit that will usher us into a new level of fruitfulness, prosperity and God’s glory.
“Apart from being an anniversary event, the Convention is also unique in many respects. It is our 30th Anniversary Convention, and we are going to commemorate it on a new ground prepared for us by God to experience a new realm of glory,” he said.
The cleric said that there was going to be free medical consultation and treatment of common ailments, free eye screening, free screening for hypertension, diabetics, Hepatitis B; and free distribution of analgesic, multivitamins and haematinics.
“There shall also be health talks and counseling, and free clothes shall equally be distributed to the needy as a form of our outreach to all.
“The convention will commence on Sunday November 7 with the Anniversary Lecture by 9am at the Church headquarters in Sango-Ota and at all our branches worldwide simultaneously.
“The same day, by the grace of God, we will go on a roadshow to further sensitize members of the public about the convention.
“On Wednesday, November 10, we are moving to the City of Zion for the official opening ceremony and commencement of a 3-day power-packed gospel crusade, which will run through to Friday 12. Provisions have been made for free transportation, accommodation, and feeding for all those that will be around.
“We want to use this opportunity to invite all with the assurance that God will touch everyone; whatever your righteous desire are, they are achievable and possible through our God, who never fails.
“We equally use this opportunity to reaffirm that a large turn out of people is expected from all the towns around Wasimi, Arigbajo, Ifo, Ilaro, Itori, Ewekoro, Obada, Abeokuta, Sagamu, Sango-Ota, Lagos and the whole world at large. God bless you all as you participate in this all-important Convention of destiny, in Jesus Name,” he added.
