"Apostle Paul said in Phil. 3:10 “that l may know Him and the power of his resurrection", the Holy Spirit is revealing to us this year that the hunger to know more of Christ is a proof of our spiritual health as Christians. The hunger for God will satisfied as we deliberate on this year theme “Yielding to Higher Calling”, this topic is our mega theme for the year since there is need to know more about our maker, it is most important for us to keep our focus on Christ Jesus; the author and the finisher of our faith and upon whom all scriptures are being fulfilled."

He concluded that: "brethren, it's high time for us to quit our careless life style about God, and ensure we become his best friend, we need to renew our love for Him as we seek fulfillment of His promises and plan for our life."
