CONCLUSION

According to our Diocesan theme for 2025-2026, “A wholesome church brings revival.” Drawn from Ezekiel 47, we are reminded that revival begins at the altar through prayers, worship and an earnest seeking of God’s presence. Just as the river in Ezekiel vision flows from the temple and brings life wherever it goes, true revival starts within the church but does not remain there. It flows outward, transforming communities and impacting society at large.

This outward movement is the very essence of the Great commission.” Go unto all the world…..” (Mark 16:15) let us therefore work diligently and in unity as one body in Christ, to fulfill this divine mandate and be vessels of revival in our world.
