Pastor Alex Ogundipe of Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church, Daki-Biyu District, Kubwa, Abuja, on Sunday urged Christians to be ready to submit to God’s will to succeed in their spiritual journey.

Ogundipe, the senior pastor, made the call during the church’s 20th anniversary celebration.

He said many people miss God’s mercy because they fail to obey divine instructions, citing the story of Jonah who disobeyed God’s command to preach in Nineveh.

“Until we completely comply with His directive and align with Him, nothing is going to work,” he said, referencing Jonah 2:8.

He also urged Christians to emulate Isaac, who willingly submitted to Abraham at Moriah, saying, “You must go to Moriah, like Isaac, before getting to your Rehoboth, a place of rest and fruitfulness.”

Ogundipe added that Christians must surrender to Jesus, obey His teachings, and grow in the word of God.

He said the church’s core mandate is evangelism, hence its name: “Centre for Deliverance Through Evangelism.”

Also speaking, Pastor Bisi Olanrewaju, in a sermon titled “My Life: His Tabernacle,” said believers must renew their lives and deepen their relationship with Christ.

He said one’s life becomes God’s tabernacle through being born again, studying scripture daily, maintaining regular devotion, and seeking guidance from more experienced Christians.

Highlights of the event included cutting of the anniversary cake, thanksgiving offerings, presentation of gifts, and praise sessions.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the church was established through a divine calling on July 10, 2005. (NAN)
