Let me also inform you that the college is also engaging in extension services at Local, National, and International on request.
AFFLIATION AGREEMENT
Recent discussion with a well known International University has reached closely to a stage of completion which will lead to: Academic exchange programme for both students and faculty. I hope that this arrangement will bring additional benefits, particularly to students and the faculty.
In conclusion, don’t just be among the spectators but try to be among the celebrants. Enroll today for a deep knowledge in the word of God so that you can equip yourself for the greatest commission by our Lord Jesus Christ of GO YE as being recorded in the book of Matt. 28:19. Know that if you are too big to learn you will be too small to teach.
I pray for all the graduands of today’s occasion as they have been adequately trained and equipped; hold firm the one which you have been taught. You shall all be vessels of honour that have been groomed and deeply rooted in the word of God for the Master’s use in this end-time.
Today’s Book Dedication and Launch
I give glory to God for His goodness and mercy over me in the past 40 years of my conversion and walk with the Lord. I remember, shortly after my conversion I had burden to attend the convention programme of Victory Gospel Church that year 1979. It was in the programme I experienced a real encounter with Christ and I renewed my covenant with Him. Since then till date, it has been wonderful. I praise His Holy name.
What brought about today’s Book Dedication and Launch is my passion for the end-time revival and commitment to the course of the gospel to share my experience of 40 years walk with Christ to encourage many people that no matter the persecution and challenges God is abundantly able. My experience from birth to my conversion up to date are nothing but divine favour. Halleluyah!
I feel humbled to see my invited guests, relatives, friends and well wishers who are here because of this Book Dedication and Launch, thanks for your love and goodwill. God bless you all.
Wishing you all back safely to your various destinations in Jesus name.
Once again, I welcome you all. Thank you. God bless you
