In his charge at the programme on the topic "When Christ will say thank you" (text: Matthew 25 vs. 20-21), the Superintendent of CAC Odi-Olowo DCC, Pastor D.O. Ogungbenjo said everybody wants to be appreciated, even God.
He noted that leaders of the fellowship organised the award programme to say "thank you" to some people who have contributed their quota to the progress of the fellowship.
According to him, the purpose of life is to make impact, that means, when you're not making impact you're not fulfilling God's purpose for your life.
He stressed that when Jesus came to the world He made godly impact which is still effective till now.
Pastor Ogungbenjo stated that there are two kinds of rewards to those who make godly impacts which are temporal reward and eternal reward.
While he refers the temporal reward to the award given by Ministers' Wives Fellowship, the Cleric opined that eternal reward (1st Cor 9 vs. 24-27) is given by God in heaven to those who are faithful to Him.
The golden jubilee celebration continues today Wednesday May 17, 2023 with different and well loaded programmes.
