“If you haven’t seen the vibrant billboards or the beautifully designed posters, you’ve likely received a flier, heard the broadcast on terrestrial television and radio, or encountered the message flooding social media.
“Most strikingly, the LoveWorld Nation’s passionate members, clad in branded shirts, are personally extending invitations inside taxis, buses, offices, shops, and on the streets of Abuja. They bring with them the warmth and love of Christ, ensuring that no one misses this life-changing announcement.
“You might wonder: Why such intensive and far-reaching publicity? The answer is profound. When God sends His prophet to a city, He ensures that every soul is touched and every heart is prepared to receive. The venerable Man of God, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc, DSc, DD, is bringing God’s blessings and a divine message to Abuja—one that promises transformation for lives, institutions, families, and generations.
“It has been a remarkable 19 years since Pastor Chris last graced Abuja with his presence and message from God for the city. Much has changed in our city, our nation, and the world since then. Now, this special visitation carries a message of divine and far reaching consequence—a call for spiritual growth, soul winning, business upliftment, strategic positioning, and increased influence. A higher life in Christ Jesus awaits all who hear and receive this message.”
