For three days, the atmosphere at Oke Eletu Open Market Square, beside the Methodist Church, was charged with divine presence as worshippers gathered in their large numbers to worship, give praise and testimonies to series of divine intervention in their lives.
During the crusade which took place between December 3rd and 5th, 2025, special prayers were offered for the Oke Eletu community, Ijede LCDA, and Nigeria as a nation. Also, for the Eletu of Oke -Eletu, Eletu Adeniyi Ajayi and his family.
This year’s edition of the annual open crusade is themed, “The Incomparable God” (Isaiah 46:5). It witnessed moments of deliverance and testimonies from participants who shared how God had touched their lives.
The highly spirited session of praises and worship was graced by Pastors and congregations from various churches, as well as residents from different communities.
The final day witnessed Pastor Adeyemi Olusola, releasing powerful prayer points that drew deep participation from the crowd. The atmosphere came alive when the guest gospel artist, Segun Success, mounted the stage with soul-lifting songs that stirred intense dancing and jubilation among worshippers.
The host choir also delivered a moving ministration that touched the hearts of many, drawing them into deeper worship.
The highlight of the crusade was the sermon delivered by Primate T.J. Fakunmoju, popularly known as “Konalorun Ni Nkankan,” who preached on the topic, “The God of the Incomparable”. He drew from several Bible passages including: 1 Samuel 17:44–45, Genesis 8:4, Acts 5, Isaiah 37:46, Exodus 8:3–4, Job 4:5, and 1 Corinthians 9:16–18.
Primate T.J. Fakunmoju emphasised God’s unmatched power, His miraculous ways, and the need for believers to hold firmly to Him as the only Savior capable of delivering them from afflictions and life’s challenges. The sermon, rich in illustrations and biblical insights, moved many to renewed faith and commitment.
Eletu Adeniyi Ajayi, speaking to THE IMPACT on the purpose of the crusade said it was to gather residents to pray for the progress and development of the Oke – Eletu community.
“The crusade is all about bringing the entire residents of Oke-Eletu together to pray for the kingdom for its lost glory to be awakened and for us to receive God’s grace. It is about residents aiming at goodness and blessings for the community.
“During the crusade, we offer prayers for ourselves, and our children for the glory of God to shine on them. We pray for women and those seeking God’s intervention for the fruit of their wombs. We believe that through prayers, our requests shall be answered.”
The community head testified that there have been positive changes after last year’s crusade. Eletu Ajayi also urged residents to expect more developments and renewed hope after this year’s crusade.
