IT was a night of great harvest of souls as thousands of Christian faithful gathered from across the country and beyond to grace the 2022 Night of Mercy, a programme filled with praise, worship, prophetic ministration, and life-changing testimonies.
The programme which was held last week was put together by Holy Ghost Christian Centre at the Solution Arena, Lagos.
Top gospel artistes took their turn to lead the congregation into deep worship and praises to God.
Among the guests include multiple award-winning gospel singers, Sinach, Efe Nathan, Bidemi Olaoba, Deiko, and a host of other anointed ministers of the gospel.
Tons of testimonies including the healing of kidney and fibroid diseases, rented the air as thousands join virtually the worship sessions across the world.
Speaking at the event, the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu called on the church to continue to seek the face of God for a positive turnaround in our nation.
He assured the Christian faithful that through their prayers, the God of mercy would visit Nigeria.
Sanwo-Olu, who was represented by his Special Adviser on Christians and Muslim Matters, Rev Bukola Odeleke, said that the fervent prayers and retreats day and night inform God’s presence and the manifestation of his power and God will continue to bless and enrich the church.
He pointed out that Nigeria indeed needs God’s mercy at this time, saying if there is anything to ask for it is God’s mercy.
Sanwo-Olu said, “our consolation is in James 5:16 saying that the prayer of the righteous availeth much.”
In his sermon, the convener and General Overseer of Holy Ghost Christian Centre, Dr. Amos Fenwa said that the purpose of the programme was to lead God’s people to worship and win souls for Christ.
“We want to present Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace as the final solution to the problem of all men and women in this decaying world of sin and dark forces,” he said.
He noted that the programme aim is to lead the unsaved to the salvation of Christ and bring together a multi-generational, multi-ethnic, and non-denominational congregation under one open heaven.
He said that winning the souls of men and women is the heartbeat of God for every generation because salvation from sin, wickedness, and unrighteousness attracts divine blessings and favour from God.
