GLADTIMERS OFFER GRAND THANKSGIVING AS GOD CROWNS 2025 TUESDAY PRAYER JOURNEY

 By Akinlotan Omobolanle 

Members of Gladtime and Miracle Ministry, Ilogbo, Oke-Ijeun, Abeokuta, on Tuesday lifted their voices in exuberant praise to God Almighty as they held a colourful thanksgiving service to mark the successful completion of their Tuesday Prayer Programme for the year 2025.

The thanksgiving service, held in a grand and spiritually uplifting atmosphere, was led by the Founder and General Overseer of the ministry, Prophet Matthew Adeoye Ogundele, alongside ministers, invited guests, and worshippers who gathered to celebrate God’s benevolence, mercy, and faithfulness throughout the year.

Delivering the sermon, guest speaker Pastor Segun Soyebi spoke on the theme “Enter His Gate With Thanksgiving.” 

He admonished believers to approach God’s presence with hearts filled with gratitude, stressing that thanksgiving is a divine gateway into God’s house and a key to sustained fellowship with Him. 

Pastor Soyebi reminded the congregation that having consistently presented their requests before God for fifty-one Tuesdays, it was fitting to dedicate the final Tuesday to praise and appreciation.

According to the preacher, thanksgiving is demanded for two fundamental reasons: God’s enduring mercies and His unfailing goodness. 

He further explained that praise carries supernatural power, opening the heavens for impossibilities to become possible, drawing God into human situations, provoking unreserved blessings, and activating divine intervention.

The thanksgiving celebration was further enriched by soul-stirring ministrations from invited gospel artistes whose performances added colour, joy, and spiritual depth to the programme. Their ministrations ignited spontaneous dancing and heartfelt worship from the General Overseer, invited dignitaries, and members of the congregation. The guest artistes included Pastor Michael Okerinade, El-Gibbor Praise, Oluwatosin Band, Oluyemi Omobalafin, as well as the choir of The Apostolic Church, Isale-Ake Assembly, Abeokuta.

In addition, several anointed ministers of God from different Christian denominations were present to pray over and pronounce blessings upon members of the ministry, further strengthening the atmosphere of unity and spiritual renewal.

In his closing remarks, PropheMatthew Adeoye Ogundele expressed profound gratitude to all invited guests, ministers, and artistes who honoured the ministry with their presence. 

He also commended the Gladtimers for their unwavering loyalty, commitment, and physical, spiritual, and financial support toward the success of the programme. The General Overseer prayed fervently that no member would be absent at the next thanksgiving celebration, declaring continued grace, preservation, and abundance upon the church family.
