LAGOS — Thousands of worshippers gathered at the Chosen Revival Ground along the Oshodi-Apapa Expressway over the weekend as the Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministries hosted its biennial international crusade, themed “And The Enemies Submitted.”

n

The two-day programme, which ended on Sunday, attracted participants from across Nigeria and several other countries, with many also joining virtually.

n

A highlight of the event was the presentation of an Icon of Peace Award to the General Overseer of the church, Pastor Lazarus Muoka, by delegates of the International College for Diplomatic Affairs. Muoka dedicated the award to Jesus Christ and the church.

n

Speaking on the theme of the crusade, Pastor Muoka said God grants victory over life’s challenges to those who remain faithful to Him.

n

In his messages titled “And The Enemies Submitted” (Parts 1 and 2), he said the mission of the devil is to steal, kill and destroy, but stressed that God’s power is greater than every force of evil.

n

He urged worshippers to repent, embrace the Christian faith and live holy lives in order to experience divine victory.

n

The crusade featured praise and worship sessions led by the church’s various choirs, including the children’s choir, youth choir, Yoruba choir, students’ fellowship choir, police, military and paramilitary choir, and the adult choir.

n

Participants also shared testimonies of what they described as divine intervention in their lives.

n

Among them was a man who said he regained the ability to walk after attending one of the church’s programmes earlier in the year, while another testified that he and his wife were blessed with children after years of waiting.

n

Pastor Muoka also prayed for worshippers, blessed infants presented during the programme and offered prayers for God’s protection over participants as they returned to their respective destinations.

n

The crusade concluded with prayers for victory, peace and divine intervention in the lives of believers.
