The Apostolic Church Nigeria (TACN), Lagos Area and Western/Northern Areas (LAWNA) Territorial Chairman and National Vice President, Pastor (Dr.) Senior Gabriel Okpako Uyeh, has urged Christians to be good citizens of earthly nation and heaven.
The clergyman also advised followers of Christ not to give room to slackness in their walk and work with God if they are indeed hopeful to receive rewards of commendation before the Judgement seat.
Pastor Uyeh made remarks at the ongoing seven-day 48th LAWNA Annual International Convention themed, “We must all appear at the Judgement seat of Christ” taken from II Corinthians 5 VS 10.
The convention started on Saturday with a welcome service at the International Convention grounds of The Apostolic Church Nigeria LAWNA Territory along Oworonsoki- Ibadan expressway Olorunda, Ketu, Lagos.
Speaking on the theme, he said it becomes timely in view of the persisting depravity of man with wickedness and evil practices prevailing among men.
“A note of warning is therefore coming to both the godly and the wicked, the righteous and the unrighteous that there is a judgement day coming” he said.
According to him, everyone will stand before the Judgement seat and by then God will not be the respecter of any Man and he will pass Judgement according to everyone’s work.
He told the congregation of believers drawn from across the nation and overseas that being slothful will deny them of receiving commendation before the Judgement seat and it would defer any hope of receiving crowns.
The Vice President therefore urged all the congregants in the convention to be active and do away with slackness in the kingdom business with God and be good citizens of Heaven and good citizens of their earthly nation.
The convention runs from Saturday 3rd to Friday, 9th of August 2024. Various speakers and preachers from diverse backgrounds are ministering in the events.
It features bible teachings sermons, revival as well as tarring and special prayers.
