Why I Decided to Launch My Own Ministry – Bishop Abioye

Bishop David Abioye has explained why he’s setting up his own ministry after leaving the Living Faith Church Worldwide, also known as Winners Chapel.
This is coming just after retirement from office as Vice President of Living Faith Church worldwide.
The revered cleric unveiled plans for a new spiritual platform titled Hour of Revival. The maiden edition of the Hour of Revival took place on Saturday at the Velodrome of the National Stadium in Abuja, drawing a large crowd of participants from diverse backgrounds.
Addressing the attendees, Bishop Abioye emphasized that the initiative was a divine directive.
Bishop Abioye further clarified that the revival platform is not his personal project but an ordained mission by God.
He called on participants to embrace personal revival as a pathway to corporate revival, expressing his hope that everyone in attendance would be transformed into fire-catchers and fire-spreaders.
The Hour of Revival, which is open to both saved and unsaved individuals, serves as an interdenominational prayer platform to rekindle spiritual fire and inspire personal and collective renewal.

Vice Principal, 2 Teachers, Guard Arrested As Students, Residents Clash In Ogbomoso

At least four staff members of Areago Community High School in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, have been arrested following a clash between the school’s students and local residents.

Daily Post reports that conflict broke out between the students of the secondary school and residents of its neighbourhood.

It was learnt that four staff of the school among whom are a Vice Principal (Administration), Mr. Ajayi; two senior teachers, Mr. Oladeji and Mr. Adekunle; and a day guard in the school have been arrested.

It was learnt that those arrested were being detained at Owode Divisional Police Station, Ogbomoso.

It was gathered that trouble started on Thursday following an altercation between some students of the school and some women residents in the neighbourhood who attempted to pass through the school premises on commercial motorcycle.

The residents were prevented by the students because the parent-teacher association (PTA) of the school had embarked on erection of perimeter fence.

A teacher in the school who spoke on the condition of anonymity said that construction of the fence became imperative because the school has become porous.

He added that a lot of untoward things are daily recorded in the school as a result of porosity of the school.

It was reliably gathered that the four staff would be released on bail

Daily Post reports on Saturday that the concerned stakeholders are making efforts to settle the matter amicably.
