Christians all over the world have been charged to rededicate themselves more to God’s service.
The advice was given by Bishop T.A. Emmanuel of the Blood of Jesus Ministry International during the ordination service held inside the church auditorium on Sunday in Lagos.
The ordained officers included Pastor Johnson Olayinka, Elder Taiwo Adelu, Evangelist Funmilayo Adelu and Deaconess Magdalene Onifade.
Bishop Emmanuel,who is the Founder of T.A. Emmanuel World Outreach (TAEWO), emphasised the need for the children of God, and most importantly, the officers in the God’s vineyard, to be committed to their various callings to serve God.
To the ordained officers, he stressed that all eyes would be on them in the church, even within the communities, adding that they must be good ambassadors of Jesus Christ always.
During the ordination service, the newly recruits into the priesthood, were encouraged and admonished by the invited ministers who included Pastor and Pastor (Mrs) Victor Amayo of the Omega Grace Ministry, Ifo, Ogun state. Rev J.K. Oladebo of the Christ Global Mission, Nigeria, Africa and Pastor Adeboye Jojolade of the Redeemed Christians Church of God (RCCG), Ota, Ogun State.
Pastor Amayo preached on a sermon titled ‘Becoming a Faithful Minister in God’s Vineyard’. Rev. Oladebo talked on ‘Faithful Stewardship’, while Pastor Jojolade cautioned the ordained officers on ‘Few Pitfalls in the Ministry’.
The climax of the service was the moment of the ordination with powerful ministration from Bishop Emmanuel in the company of his wife Rev (Mrs) Emmanuel.
The ordained officers took turn to take the oath of ordination, received their certificates, received anointing oil and heavy impartation.
