IKOYI BAPTIST CHURCH's Podcast

Say HiIt has come to that period of the year that we all as a congregation deliberately look up toGod, waiting upon Him in fasting and prayer, leading us into the week of congregationalrevival and afterward, annual thanksgiving service. It has become an annual tradition in IBC,and we thank God for this godly heritage. But we must take caution so that we don’t get lostin the euphoria and activities, going through the motions without maximising the spiritualbenefits this season has to offer.
