As the atmosphere gets heightened in anticipation of a new year, the Minister-in-charge, Christ Apostolic Church, Graceville Abuja, Pastor Tolu-Tope Dada, has highlighted seven necessary gates to possess in order to possess the year 2024.
Pastor Dada, who is also the set man for CAC Graceville Digital Church made this known during yesterday's session of the ongoing Possessing 2024 programme organized and holding on the CAC News Facebook platform.
The cleric who laid a foundation that God does not only have integrity but also the ability to do, evidenced his fact from Ephesians 3:20 which says God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or imagine.
"You can trust God because of His ability. He is able to fulfill His promises," he said.
According to Pastor Dada, the seven gates to possess are, gates of influence, gates of ministry, gates of business, gates of strategic relationships, gates of politics, gates of healing and gates of fruitfulness.
On gates of influence, the clergyman explained that there are things money will do and there are things that influence will do, stressing that ministers of God who need to possess the gates of ministry must be deliberate in attending edifying conferences and meetings in the coming year to better their ministries.
The youthful cleric told the online audience that Christians need to strategically possess the gates of business, urging that on gates of strategic relationships, some persons may need to repair some bridges.
"It is spiritual arrogance to say you don't need people," he said.
According to Pastor Dada, youths also need to possess the gates of politics and not leave it to the hands of unbelievers, furthering on the need to possess the gates of healing in order to avert a destruction of the other gates by sickness and diseases.
Amidst fervent declarations of prayers during his word ministration, the cleric explained that the devil uses fruitlessness and delay to waste people's time, hence the need to possess the gates of fruitfulness.
Noting that the qualifications for these blessings is to be the seed of Abraham, the CAC Graceville Pastor concluded that every gate has a gatekeeper, forming the basis for preparedness for the new year in prayers.
The programme, "Possessing 2024" continues with another impactful session by 8pm today. You can watch on Facebook @cacnewslive
