General Overseer of Jesus is Life Ministries, Light Chapel, Morenike Olaojo, has admonished Nigerian youths who are into internet fraud not to kill for money.
She advised them to shun all forms of temptations and turn a new leaf.
She gave the admonition at a surprise thanksgiving service organised by members of the church to mark her 86 years birthday at the church’s auditorium in Egbe area of Lagos.
Olaojo, who took over the church’s mantle of leadership after her husband death 18 years ago, attributed the unity of purpose and growth of the church to the support and cooperation from other pastors in charge of the church’s branches both at home and abroad.
While advising Christian leaders not to lose focus of their calling, she said: “Believe in God. Do not mix your calling with any other thing because it will give bad results. Nigerian pastors should not seek power from the dark world but depend solely on God Almighty.”
She also urged wives of general overseers to humble themselves to the leading of the Holy Spirit and shun all forms of arrogance, saying: “This journey is tough and once you are in it, you must look onto God.”
Expressing gratitude to God for sparing her life, she also commended members of the church for organising the surprise birthday thanksgiving ceremony.
The church’s Assistant General Overseer, Northern region and National Coordinator, Funsho Adaramola, described the celebrant as a mother who have positively touched so many lives in the last 18 years when she took over as head of the church.
He said one’s gender has nothing to do with achieving the mandate, if the person is God’s choice.
Earlier in the sermon delivered by Emmanuel Ijaola of Passion of Christ Ministry, with the theme: “The Path of the Righteous,” he said anyone who served God in righteousness would receive special grace from Him.
He highlighted three types of righteousness to include, human righteousness, righteousness according to the law and righteousness of God.
