Narrating the story of Isaac in Genesis 26; 12-22, she noted that irrespective of Isaac’s contentions, he remained consistent and determined; in like manner, every Christian will be faced with anger, strife, contentions before arriving at a fruitful place.
She insisted, “Behind every closed door, there is always a room, we must never give up,” stressing that God will always back up His people.
The clergywoman posited that the mantra for every believer should be Micah 6:8 and when this is satisfied, they should keep at their work.
Pastor Bimbo Abiona expressed the view that the harvest is ripe, and the labourers are few, hence soul-winning must be a passion to be exhibited everywhere.
The preacher added that like never before, Christians need to activate the ministry of the angels.
