The founder of Daylight Dominion Ministry, Lagos, Prophet Samuel Donald Nwankwo and his wife, Pastor Favour Nwankwo, were recently ordained as Bishop and Reverend, respectively. The Council also conferred the founder with a doctoral title in Christian Education.

Archbishop James Haruna, who represented other bishops from the Bishops Episcopal Assembly (International Bishops Council), performed the consecration and investiture ceremony, which was witnessed by family members, friends and well-wishers.

Delivering his sermon, the Chief Consecrator, Archbishop Haruna, noted that ordination is an integral part of being a leader. He said: “Leaders are born not made. The bishopric title is an office, and to assume a leadership title, you must be blameless and able to weather the storms of life. Leaders have foresight, they visualise. Every prophet must be word-based – teach the word and act by the word of God.”

In his response, an elated Bishop Nwankwo said: “This is the greatest day in my life. I feel happy because I have been invested with the authority to help the less privileged. Now I can stand up in all boldness to support my country and serve the people and the nation as a whole. With my investiture as a Bishop, I have a strong backup from God, which has been approved by men. This shows that when God calls you, men should approve you. So, I pledge to be a voice to the less privileged and the nation. I will defend my country with all my heart.”
