The Authority of Christ Apostolic Church, Nigeria and Overseas has unveiled the 2024 Watchword of the mission.
This is contained in the "Agenda for End of the Year DCC and Zonal Meetings 2023" booklet which has been sent to all DCCs and Zones.
2024 CAC Watchword is taken from from the book of Psalms chapter 119 verse 116 which says "Uphold me according to Your word, that I may live; And do not let me be ashamed of my hope (NKJV).
One of the peculiarities of Christ Apostolic Church is our annual watchword. It distinguishes the church from other denominations.
As the father of pentecostalism in Nigeria, CAC has given birth to so many well known denominations who today are also borrowing leaves from the church. Majority of them now have yearly watchwords.
