MORE GLOBAL RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE PRIMATE OF ALL NIGERIA, THE MOST REV’D NICHOLAS D. OKOH

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit – fruit that will last… (John 15.16).

It has pleased God to add more mission responsibilities on the shoulders of the Primate of All Nigeria, The Most Rev’d Nicholas D. Okoh. In a meeting of The Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON) Primates’ Council held in Nairobi, Kenya, from 18 to 22 April, 2016, The Most Rev’d Nicholas Okoh, was elected the new Chairman of the Council. He succeeds The Most Rev’d Eliud Wabukala, the Primate of the Anglican Church of Kenya.

The leadership of GAFCON in the context of the present doctrinal and liturgical challenges in the Anglican Communion calls for fervent prayers. The election of Archbishop Okoh to lead the GAFCON Primates’ Council is an eloquent testimony of his exemplary leadership in ensuring that the Anglican Church remains faithful to Jesus Christ and the Bible in her teachings and practices. Archbishop Nicholas D. Okoh had earlier served as the Chairman, Theological Resource Group of GAFCON.

We believe that the Almighty God who called him to lead the Primates’ Council of the Global Anglican Future Conference at this time will equip him sufficiently for the discharge of his enormous responsibilities.

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

Maranatha.

Yours in His service,

Ven. Prof Israel ’Kelue Okoye

General Secretary

AKINDE URGES BUHARI TO JUSTIFY NIGERIANS’ CONFIDENCE IN HIM.

BISHOP of the Anglican Diocese of Lagos Mainland and Archbishop of the Province of Lagos, Most Rev Adebayo Akinde has urged the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, not to betray the confidence and trust reposed on him by Nigerians. In his address at the opening ceremony of the third session of its Third Synod at All Saints Church, Yaba, Lagos, yesterday, Akinde urged Buhari and the Vice President-elect, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo to justify the people’s faith in them. According to him, “our expectations from you are far higher than what you can imagine.

The Most. Rev. Professor Adebayo Dada Akinde is a good example of the truism that God

The spiritual head of the Diocese of Lagos Mainland, Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), the Most. Rev. Professor Adebayo Dada Akinde is a good example of the truism that God invariably has His way in the affairs of men. What God ordains for each of his children ultimately supersedes all human calculations and disposition. In time, each man and woman whom God created for a specific role must succumb to that, willy-nilly. God rules in the affairs of men and those who understand this truism are the happier for it. Bishop Akinde evidently is. For a man who had distinguished himself so eminently in academics, not many had imagined for him a full time commitment to the service of God. If anyone had told him some 35 years ago that he would some day be the pioneer bishop of the Diocese of Lagos Mainland, he would probably have dismissed it as an empty joke. Having pioneered many projects in the academia, he thought he had had enough of pioneering work. Born in Kaduna, northwest of N...
