This year’s programme is themed: ‘Glory Ahead’.
In a brief address, the General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, welcomed everyone to the programme and assured them to prepare for “Glory Ahead’’.
In a sermon, titled: “A new name, with the passage taken from Rev. 2 Vs 17, Adeboye said that a good name was better than Gold and Diamond, adding that “God knows a name that affects one’s destiny.
“When God gives someone a new name, then he becomes the light of the world and the salt of the nation.
“When God gives a new name, when the person opens any door, no man can shut it and any door he shuts, no man can open.
“Everywhere you go, the door will be opened for you all in Jesus name.
“Let somebody shout Halleluyah,’’ he said.
