As it has been on yearly basis, all roads lead to Otunba Dipo Dina Stadium, Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State for the 2023 edition of the annual Mighty God Revival organised by Christ Apostolic Church, Living Sanctuary, Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State.
The programme holds from Wednesday 15 to Friday 17 November, 2023 with the theme "Jesus: The Same Yesterday, Today and Forever." It starts by 5pm on Wednesday and Thursday, while the grand finale which is on Friday starts by 7pm till dawn.
Mighty God Revival has turned out to be the face of Ijebu-Ode land. On yearly basis people come from nooks and crannies of the entire Ogun State to attend the programme.
In an interview with CAC News, the Minister in Charge, CAC Living Sanctuary, Pastor Remi Adeyemi explained that: "few years ago I went somewhere to pray and it was for a different reason. While I was asking God for something, He was busy telling me about this programme. God said it should be tagged “Mighty God Revival.”
"It was around February in 2017. But when it was around August of the same year, God reminded me again about the programme. Then I called some people together and shared the vision with them. We did little publicity and in the process we started the programme. God gave me a blueprint of the programme right from the beginning. God said I should do the first one in my church, second one within the church and when it is the third one we should go out. He has told me right from the beginning."
"Everywhere was packed full when we held the first edition. By the time we were holding the second edition in 2018, we had to look for more space within the church premises. The church is situated on four plots of land, but we had to get two plots of land each around us to be able to gather people. Pastor Olu Olorunpomi, by the grace of God was around with us. The second edition gave us an idea of what the third edition would look like and that was why we took the third edition to Otunba Dipo Dina Stadium in Ijebu-Ode."
