Excerpts
WELCOME ADDRESS BY THE NATIONAL VICE PRESIDENT THE APOSTOLIC CHURCH NIGERIA AND LAWNA TERRITORIAL CHAIRMAN, PASTOR (DR) SENIOR GABRIEL OKPAKO UYEH, JP AT THE 2024 ANNUAL CHILDREN TEACHERS’ CONFERENCE HOLDING AT THE NATIONAL TEMPLE FROM WEDNESDAY 4TH SEPTEMBER TO SATURDAY 7TH SEPTEMBER, 2024
It is with all sincerity and profound gratitude to God that I welcome you one and all to the holy presence of Him who has power over life and death, earth and heaven, and in deed all things. We owe God everything-appreciation, gratitude, thanksgiving, worship and adoration, glory and honour, since Thirty (30) years ago of the birth of Annual Children Teacher’s Conference for He alone is worthy to receive all of these.
The theme of 2024 Annual Children Teachers’ conference is “Purity of Heart” Mathew 5:8. The message was one of the teachings of Jesus Christ on the mountain. A pure heart is one that has been cleansed from sin through the sacrificial blood of Christ, since those who accept Him have been given a new heart.
A pure heart is a heart that can be used by God not because of our own perfection but because we are willing to learn, be corrected, repent and change.
Eight (8) ways to attain a pure heart
1. Often look into the word of God. John 15:3, Psalm 119: 140,
2. Go to the bath;
(a) The bath of the tears:
(b) The bath of Christ’s blood. Zachariah 13:1
3. Get faith Acts 15:9
4. Breath after the spirit. Ephesians 1:13
5. Take heed of familiar converse and intercourse with the wicked.
6. Walk with the pure people. Proverb 13:20
7. Wait at the post of wisdom’s doors. Romans 6:17.
8. Pray for heart purity Psalm 51:10
Based on this, it was stated in the passage the benefit and blessing that follows the pure in heart according to our Lord Jesus Christ is that they will see God which means that it allows you to enter into God’s holy presence where uncountable and unspeakable blessings and joy are filled up.
Therefore, as the Children Teachers in The Apostolic Church Nigeria LAWNA Territory, God summons you this year to be pure in heart so that RAISE Agenda will be achieved collectively.
In consonance with this, I call on every teacher to diligently and painstakingly learn and tap from the God-given Facilitators and the rich contents of this year’s manual.
Once more, I welcome you all joyfully to the year 2024 Annual Children Teachers’ Conference as we are marking 30 years of its kind, therefore, I declare this Conference open in the name of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost (Amen).
