It was a day of celebrating overwhelming God's faithfulness at the 10th anniversary thanksgiving service of Christ Apostolic Church, Goshen Land, Ilorin, Kwara State.
The glamorous celebration had in attendance notable personalities such as Prophet Sam Olu Alo, Prophet Ade Ologbonyo, Evang. (Mrs.) Bola Are and many others.
Minister in charge of Christ Apostolic Church, Goshen Land Prophet Adefemi Joshua Dairo told CAC News that the church started as a result of God's instructions.
He explained that;"we were simply having our interdenominational programme in Ilorin. We did this for 7 years before God instructed me to start a church. Like many churches, we started from my parlour at Osin Itaelepa. That was where the first service was held with my wife, two other people, and me.
"Just before we began, we inquired of the Lord for the name we were to give the church. The Lord spoke to me mentioning the word, 'Goshen Land'. Within me, I concluded that the name of the church will simply be GoshenLand International or thereabout. I said this, within me.
"In my sleep, I had a dream. In that dream, I saw Apostle Ayo Babalola of Christ Apostolic Church. I spoke with him saying, 'I thought you were dead sir.' He responded by telling me that, 'Though I was dead my works speak on.' He further said,'Do not by any chance leave CAC.' Then I woke up. I never wanted to be a CAC pastor even if at all I would be a pastor. That was how I knew that the full name God was trying to tell me for the church was CHRIST APOSTOLIC CHURCH (GOSHENLAND). Then we began.From my living room, we went to a rented warehouse. The first service was held on the 18th of September, 2011.
"After two years, we secured our permanent land at Sapati, Ganmo, Ilorin, Kwara State. God gave us 7 covenants that we have been living by and they are: the 7 Covenant terms Of Goshenland,the Land of Recovery, the Land where we are accepted the way we are,the best of the Land, the Land of Multiplication,the Land of Fruitfulness, the Separate Land,the Land of Protection and this year, CAC GOSHENLAND clocks 10 years"
