The Superintendent of Christ Apostolic Church, Christ The King Districts' Coordinating Council (DCC), Abuja, Pastor David O. Oladipo has urged youths on being carriers of God's presence, just like Joseph, saying that you can't be divinely led and humanly err.
He noted that divine presence is sacrosanct for timely manifestation and who you're connected to determines what and how you can collect, who you know engenders what and how you will be known and what you carry translates to how you'll be handled, treated and carried.
Pastor Oladipo stated this on Thursday August 12, 2021 while ministering on the topic "Joseph: A Carrier of God's Abiding Presence" at the 2021 International Youth Conference, Abuja Conference Centre.
According to him, being a carrier of divine presence isn't by what you profess or confess alone but it must reflect in your daily affairs.
Pastor Oladipo told the youths that for you to be seen and known as a carrier of divine presence, people must see God and godly virtues in you.
He said anyone who wants to be a carrier of God's presence must be born again, mortify the deeds of the flesh, be Spirit-filled and Spirit-led, maintain a holy and righteous living, live in and with the fear of God, be God's word compliant and be very prayerful.
"Beyond every doubt, no one has ever been a carrier of God's presence and missed out of his blessings. In the history of the Bible, everyone that stood for God was blessed by Him. People like Moses in Egypt, Esther in Shushan, Daniel and the three Hebrews in Babylon; they were outstandingly blessed by God," he said.
