It was a day of divine encounter with the Holy Spirit through the undiluted word of God when Christ Apostolic Church, Sanngo Districts' Coordinating Council (DCC), Sanngo, Ibadan, held Refresher Course for Ministers and their wives on Friday January 28, 2021.
The programme which was part of 2021 Ministers'/Church Workers' Refresher Course was held at the DCC headquarters in Elewure, Sanngo, Ibadan, Oyo State.
While delivering the welcome address, the DCC Superintendent of Sanngo DCC, Pastor J.B. Agunbiade said the theme of the refresher course is "Finding Fulfilment and Success in the Ministry."
The guest speaker of the day is the Zonal Superintendent of CAC Power of His Word Zone, Ibadan, Pastor Ayobamidele O. Peter.
Pastor Peter said success in the ministry is not measured by the size of the crowd a minister or denomination is able to gather, urging the ministers to seek after fulfilling the purpose of God for the ministry.
He told the ministers that their gifts or ministry is from God and no one should boast about it because it was not gotten by power, God gave it willingly.
According to him, God doesn't want any of His ministers to fall, adding that "if you fall today it would be a big loss to heaven.
While urging the ministers to be sure of their salvation, Pastor Peter said there are ministers who have calling and gifts but they are not born again.
He further said that their not being born again would tarnish the image of their ministry.
Pastor Peter also urged the ministers to take good care of their family which he said is their first ministry.
"You can't have a ministry if you don't have a home. The first ministry you have is your home. If your wife or children do not accept you as a man of God, there is a problem," the Cleric said.
