That that God of heaven is already here on earth and has been with us for one hundred years.
“We are here in Delta by his authority to light the centenary touch. That touch was lit in Kaduna, Abuja, Lagos and Ghana. We are also here to inform anybody that the grand finale of this centenary celebration will take place in Calabar on the 30th of December, 2018. Let me tell you that the governor of Cross River State had already granted us the use of the Cross River State stadium for this event.”
