APOSTLE SELMA GRACES 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF ABUNDANT LIFE GOSPEL CHURCH, ASHIMOLOWO EXPECTED
 |
| Apostle Joshua Selma (l), and host Pastor, and General Overseer of Abundant Life Gospel Church, Dr. Mrs, Janet Onaolapo. |
Renowned
televangelist, Apostle Joshua Selman took the center stage last night, at the
Abundant Life Gospel Church 40th Anniversary event, holding at the Peace Arena,
Agege, Lagos, with a riveting sermon that set the vast auditorium agog.
A
thunderous applause heralded his arrival on the night as the audience expected
the Apostle to deliver his usual blistering sermon. He didn't disappoint.
After
the talented choir had sang some glorious songs of praise, host, Dr. Mrs. Jane
Onaolapo urged Selman's friend, Pastor Sola Osunmakinde of the popular House of
David Church, Ikeja, who was credited for facilitating the Apostle's
attendance, to invite the erudite preacher to the pulpit.
The packed house listened as Selman went into
systematic theology, line upon line, precept upon precept, a little quote here
and there linking many scriptures to teach on Waiting on God.
His
main text was taken from Isaiah 40:31. His exposition was as thrilling, as it
was revelatory, bringing diverse perspectives to the famous scripture.
The Apostle posited that waiting on the Lord
required four major things -change in orientation, studying the word, prayer
and fasting and sacrificial giving.
He
averred that God sometimes delays answer to prayer to allow Christians grow in
the grace that enables them carry the blessing without losing it, due to
immaturity.
Also,
according to the Preacher, Christians should wait for a rhema; a word from God,
before they act, and not step ahead of instructions.
The
man of God kept the audience at fever pitch and excitement with a string of
revelation from what, ordinarily, is bland verses of scriptures, as he
confirmed his Apostleship to this generation.
The
meeting came to a close after a prophetic prayer, led by Selman, who obviously
acquitted himself brilliantly on a night many Abundant Lifers won't forget in a
hurry, as they were richly blessed.
Also,
a young, talented lady, Esther Aderinto was at her best when she, recited a
brilliant poem in honour of Abundant Life Gospel Church, that left the audience
on the edge of their seats.
Bishop
Segun Johnson, a London based minister friend of Onaolapo’s family, opened the
week long anniversary on Monday, October 21, 2024, with his usual masterly
sermons.
The
meeting continues tonight with another elite preacher,Pastor Mathew Ashimolowo
on centre stage from 6pm.
The Abundant Life Gospel Church was founded 40 years ago by the late Bishop Kola Onaolapo. His dutiful wife, Dr. Jane, has taken the vision to the next level, with the massive development of the huge Peace Arena in Pen Cinema, Agege, Lagos, aside growing the ministry into a mega church.
