As part of the end-of-year activities preparatory to the celebration of Christmas, the Seat of God (SOG) ministries hosted over 1000 members of the church and non-members of the church to a get-together.

The get-together followed a thanksgiving service, during which praises and prayers were offered in appreciation to the Almighty God. Many testified to God's goodness in their lives and families from January to December 2024.

In addition to the get-together, which involved eating and winning, the church also distributed food items and cash to members and non-members as a way of teaching our gospel to those in need.

Earlier in his sermon during the thanksgiving service, His Lordship, Bishop Ademola Tinuoye, charged the congregants always to have a reason to thank God, stressing that if for nothing, at least because they are counted among the living.

"A grateful heart will always be thankful; when you are thankful to God, he will always do more for you" While sitting, how ten lepers were healed, but only one returned, and only that one was made whole.

He emphasised that thankfulness is the gate pass to God's presence, adding that when we are thankful to

God for what he has done, God will not only perfect it but also do more stress.

Some beneficiaries of the food items and cash commended the church for its generosity and prayed to God to increase the ministry.

For Mrs Dorathy Ejimatswa," I am indeed for the show of love. We were fed with sumptuous food and given food items and cash. May God bless the church. I am grateful to the Church and the Bishop."
