Governor Akinwumi Ambode of Lagos State will be Special Guest of Honour, at the Inter-denominational divine service of the state chapter’s Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).
The event holds on Saturday, February 18, at the Shepherdhill Baptist Church, Obanikoro area of the state.
CAN has said the annual service, which is to have in attendance, senators, honourable members of the lower chamber and state House of Assembly, the chief judge of Lagos State and other government officials, is a solemn assembly of all Christians in Lagos.
In a briefing in Lagos, Apostle Alexander Bamgbola said: “This has been a major annual event of CAN for several years. Once in a year the entire body of Christ under the umbrella of Christian Association of Nigeria in Lagos comes together, usually in the month of February to worship and praise Jesus in thanksgiving.
“It is a time to specially thank God, for the peace and prosperity of the sate, our own Jerusalem. We also take time to pray for our dear nation, Nigeria. This year’s programme is particularly noteworthy and historic. Our beloved executive governor, the first Christian governor will be our special guest of honour.”
On the present health status of President Muhammadu Buhari, he reinstated that members of CAN in the state and at the national levels are praying for his healing and restoration.
According to him: “At the Lagos and national CAN, and as children of God, we are praying for him. People have been saying all manners of things, you can’t bury a man until he is dead and our president will not die in the name of Jesus.”
Commenting on the loot recovery going on in Nigeria, Bamgbola urged the government to judiciously use the monies for the good of the people to avoid facing God’s judgment.
