About 115 workers of the Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church (SPAC) Ibadan who were ordained have been counselled to be sensitive to their greater callings and responsibilities to sustain their salvation.
The admonition was given by the General Overseer of the Church, Prophet Samuel .A. Adegboyega whose 76th birthday was also marked with pomp and ceremony in Ibadan the Oyo state capital on Sunday.
Prophet Adegboyega who quoted Luke 10: 1-2 emphasised that the harvest is great but labourers are few, listed to the workers virtues to guide them to enable them end successfully well.
He reminded them not to see their higher callings as ego boosting but an opportunity to serve God with dedication, passion and humility like Jesus Christ.
Calling on them to be ministers after God’s heart, he told them to feed the flock with sound knowledge of the word of God and understanding, adding that they should be shining examples to the sheep.
He charged them to embark on aggressive steps to win souls for Jesus Christ and depopulate the kingdom of Satan.
“You are to keep yourself away from sins and common temptations.Since Jesus Christ and Joseph triumphed over temptations, I used their examples to guide myself in 1967 when lust came. I put myself on a curse and I triumphed over temptations with the grace of God”, he disclosed.
The Minister of God whose Church has for years embarked on micro loans to empower members advised the ministers to be hospitable in their interactions with members of the society.
