    Explaining the genesis of the programme, Elias said: “The Convener, Pastor William Folorunsho Kumuyi, the General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, more than 30 years ago, started Free Vacation School to assist students of secondary schools and colleges in Mathematics as a renowned expert in the field and to make the most of the holiday period through Godly transformation.

    “Over the years, this event has evolved into an annual summer camping programme, called ‘Success Camp’. As the name suggests, the overall goal is to unravel secrets of success to young people, based on godly, scriptural values.”

    Elias explained that the aim was to prepare youths for the jobs of the future.

    He noted that success in ministry is determined by the foundation we build.

    “There must be a foundation for your Christian life and for your ministry, else it will be destroyed.

    “You need a strong foundation; you should not operate a diminishing, deceptive or displaced foundation because it will not safe your building, it will rather make the building collapse. You have to put your foundation on spiritual check to know if it is still standing.

    “There is a restoration for a foundation, be steadfast, be focused on what God has called you to do and on your life. Be strong in faith, faith comes by hearing the word of God.

    “Limited hearing will yield limited faith, increased hearing will yield increase in faith, undiluted heating will bring undiluted faith and if you are full of hearing, you will be full in faith,” he said.

    CAN Chairman Lagos, Apostle Alexander Bamgbola, said the foundation of Nigeria is rotten, noting that there is the need to have a new beginning.

    “This nation has a rotten foundation; a foundation of corruption. Foundation is so important and it is because the foundation of this nation is rotten that we have all kinds of politicians.”

    RCCG: Group urges Adeboye to rescind resignation as G.O.

    The Citizens Advocacy for Social and Economic Rights (CASER) has called on Pastor Enoch Adeboye to rescind his resignation as the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).

    The call came in a statement issued by the Executive Director of the Abuja-based human rights group, Mr Frank Tietie, on Tuesday.

    Tietie said CASER would seek a court order to compel Adeboye to reverse his decision should the “holy man of God’’ refuse to voluntarily do so.

    Adeboye stepped down as the General Overseer of the RCCG in Nigeria on Saturday on the basis of the controversial Corporate Governance Code of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (FRCN).

    The code, which stipulates a 20-year maximum tenure for heads of religious groups and civil rights organisations, among other provisions, was suspended by the Federal Government on Monday.

    But for the suspension, the regulation could have also seen the exit of other affected men of God from the headship of their churches.

    They include Bishop David Oyedepo (Living Faith Church Worldwide aka Winners’ Chapel); Pastor William Kumuyi (Deeper Christian Life Ministry) and Bishop Mike Okonkwo (The Redeemed Evangelical Mission).

    Tietie said: “CASER urges the highly revered Pastor Adeboye to change his mind and rescind his resignation as the General Overseer of RCCG.

    “Where, therefore, the holy man of God refuses to review his decision to resign, CASER shall seek an order of the court to compel him to remain as the general overseer.’’

    He said the group was acting, not only in the interest of members of the RCCG who respect Adeboye, but also in the interest the Church generally.

  • Sow seeds of love, says Kumuyi

    According to him, 2014 will be a year of abundant laughter, success, promotion, breakthrough, victory and progress for every Christian.

    On how to access these goodies, Kumuyi said: “God wants us to continue to sow the seeds of love instead of hate, peace instead of war and joy instead of sadness everywhere we find ourselves.”

    He opined that nations around the world will continue to roam within the circles of war, civil unrest, acrimony and bloodshed with its attendant consequences when people continue sowing the seeds of discord, hatred and anger and resentment among different ethnic, tribe and language divides.

    Kumuyi further advised Christians to take solace in God no matter the storms of life that may rage as Jesus has the power to still any storm

    “Jesus is the master of the storms of life and he is always interested in stilling the storm whenever we call on him in faith,” he said.
