In her welcome remarks, Rev. Mother Ajayi stated that her mission is to provide a spiritual sanctuary for people from all over the world to worship God.

She said the project handled by Cappa and D’Alberto started in 2017 following God’s direction, noting that from foundation to completion there was no incident.

She revealed that her staying power has been her humility and the penchant for giving. ” Gratitude is my attitude, and giving is in my character”

The sermon was preached by Pastor Adeboye. He highlighted the benefits of everyone getting closer to God.

Revealing why he had come, the Pastor fondly called Daddy GO stated “Somebody asked me yesterday (Saturday) we found out in the media that you are going to preach at such and such a place, and I said yes.

He said we didn’t believe, and I said you better believe, and he said why? And I said because God asked me to go. “And when God asked me to go like that, it could be because there is just one fellow who is being given the last chance. You might be the one, I beg you, surrender your life to Jesus Christ.”

There was a prayer of fruitfulness by Prophet Isa El-Buba, prayer for Nigeria by CAN President, Rev. Samson Ayokunle and a powerful speech by the Ooni of Ife.

The ceremony was rounded off with a closing prayer by the representative of Pastor Emmanuel Mobiyina Oshoffa.

Later, guests were pampered at a wondrous reception where Ayefele and Lanre Teriba (Atorise) perfomed.
