Read Pastor E.A Adeboye’s message in part below;
“I want to bring good news to someone. I want to tell you my God is not dead; He is alive. Not only is He alive, but He is also in control. If you have any doubt at all, the situation in the recent past should show you clearly that He is in control.
I want to also advise that we remain on our guard. It will be unwise to relax too soon. And when I say relax, I am not talking about being anxious, I’m talking about becoming careless. We are not out of the woods yet but we will be. And it won’t be too long but until the whole world has had a compulsory holiday.”
