“I urge you all to always live your life according to the principles of the bible and the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ towards ensuring physical and spiritual growth not only in our churches but the country in general” He stated

While describing the present situation as temporary, the Dean enjoined christians to always worship and give thanks to God despite the current challenges.

Taking his bible reading from the book of Exodus chapter 24 verse 12, the Dean cautioned the congregation against anger which he described as a destroyer of men.

Prof. Kolawole also stressed the need for christians to shun acts that could deny them of God’s blessings in their endeavours.
