Pastor Kumuyi said that in line with the theme, “Readiness for Christ’s Return”, the focus this time around would be on preparing saints for Christ’s return.
“At this time, we must emphasise, once again, the need for people to think beyond their existence here; we want them to know that there is a place far better than this present world. Whatever anyone may be enjoying here cannot be compared to what God has prepared for those who love Him in Heaven. Whether we eat or drink, we must, always, be conscious of the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ,” Kumuyi said.
He added that the retreat will also afford participants the opportunity of experiencing divine intervention in their lives.
The cleric’s words of hope were contained in a statement signed on his behalf by Pastor Jerry Asemota, the church secretary, formally announced the national December retreat.
The retreat, which will hold at the DLCC, Km 42, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, starts from Thursday December 24, and end on Sunday, December 27.
The programme will be streamed live via satellite from DLCC to other centres in Nigeria, Africa, Europe, America and other continents of the world where the church has its branches.
Speaking on socio-economic challenges in the country, Pastor Kumuyi stated that although there is much agitation in the minds of many citizens, the coming year will be better. He stressed that all the citizens needs to do is place their absolute trust in God.
The DLCC general superintendent in a recent interview with pressmen, commended President Muhammadu Buhari over the fight his administration has launched against corruption in the country.
He characterized Buhari’s move as a step in the right direction, urging Nigerians to support their leader as he battles to recover the funds embezzled by previous administrations.
