Fidelis ENWEMEKA

 

 

St. Peter's Catholic Church along Iganmode Road, Ota Ogun State Abeokuta Diocese held a mid-year three-day revival from Wednesday July 30 to August 1, 2025 at the Church premises.

 

 

According to the Associate Parish Priest Rev. Fr. John Adefoge, the revival tagged ‘Pulling Down Strongholds' a theme extracted from 2 Corinthians 9:5 was aimed at  committing the remaining part of the year to God and to emphasize the importance of praying and worshipping God through singing.

 

 

Rev.  Fr. Luke Akakpo from Sanctissima Trinitas Parish Vogan Aneho Diocese Togo gave a talk on ‘Pulling Down Strongholds’. He encouraged the faithful to identify the strongholds in their lives, and deal with them by rejecting all forms of negative life patterns that are capable of separating them from God. He pointed out that aligning one's thought process with God's will is a sure way of winning God's favour.

 

 

The Parish Priest of the newly created St Theresa's parish Ilo Awela Ota, Fr. Peter Ogiator was on hand to assist in anchoring the programme.  He commended the priests and parishioners of St. Peter's Ota on the revival and encouraged the parishioners to let their experience of the revival bear fruits in their lives.

 

 

The Parish Priest, Very Rev. Fr. Clement Ashade summed up the three-day event as: Three Days, Three Priests, Three Special Blessings. He enjoined the participants to maintain the newness they experienced during the biannual programme and be steadfast in spreading the transformative message of the new life and a restored relationship with God, which they experienced at the revival.
