“My joy is to have a church where beyond Sunday services they do other things like education like having schools and universities.

“So, this is an encouragement for our younger generation to do beyond the church, and impact society.

“Now that Oyedepo is 70 we decided to honor him and use that to be a blessing to those in need.

We have thousands of food packs to bless  people in need and we are doing it on behalf of Oyedepo,” he said.

Earlier,  Oyedepo while addressing everyone was delighted and happy to be celebrated and prayed for the organizers and the invited guests at the gathering.

“It is not enough to have Jesus as your Lord and savior but He must be the overall of your life.

“I have never prayed for car or house but I know what I will do that He will add all other things onto me. The Bible says seek first the kingdom and all the things that others are dying to get shall be added unto you,” he said.

Notable ministers who graced the occasion were Poju Oyemade, Tope Alabi, Pastor Femi Lazarus, Pastor Sola Osunmakinde, Bidemi Olaoba and other men of God.

One of the highlight of the concert was the cutting of cake by Oyedepo alongside other men of God.
