In his lecture under the topic "Attaining the whole measure of the Fulness of Christ", the DCC Superintendent, CAC Oke-Isegun, Ondo, Pastor Dr. A. A. Abayomi, who started with a prayer session, stated that laws must be taken from the Scriptures, and not from the secular world.
He emphasized on the power of the Word of God to grow to the measure of the fulness of Christ; explaining that anyone who comes to church does not do so because of gifts or relationship with church members, but because he/she is convinced by the Lord Jesus and brought by Him.
Pastor Abayomi counselled that, members and Pastors of a church must be a friends of the Bible which will enable a closer relationship with God.
