The Senior Pastor of Latter Rain Assembly, Lagos, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has urged Nigerians to emulate the Osile of Oke-Ona Egbaland, Obe Adedapo Tejuoso, by living a Godly life.
He said if a man cannot be in Christ in the place where he lives, he couldn’t be a Christian anywhere, quoting the biblical verse that if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature.
Speaking during the short service at Obasanjo Presidential Library on the occasion to mark the 80th birthday celebration of Oba Tejuoso in Abeokuta, Bakare, taking the sermon from the book of Philippians 1:21, said Nigerians should not be carried away with worldly things, but to be in Christ, like the celebrant.
