Speaking from the book of Luke 17 verse 11, the man of God said the songs of praise was the church’s contribution to seek God’s help ahead of the new year.
“God is in control and very soon, our storm will be over. The cloud will be over.”

According to Pastor Kumapayi, fasting and prayer have failed christians, hence, the need to seek the help of God through praise and worship.
The Clergyman who linkened Nigeria’s insecurity and economic situation to that of Israel, maintained that, only God could rescue the nation from both internal and external enemies militating against the progress of the country.
Speaking on the 2023 general elections, Pastor Kumapayi assured that 2023 will be a year of testimony for Nigerians, saying God will intercede on behalf of the nation to choose a leader that is godly and and full of passion for the people.
He called on christian faithful not to remain indifferent and obtain their Permanent Voters’ Card (PVC) and vote for credible leaders.
“The situation of Nigeria is just like the land of Israel. Israel was facing all kinds of problems, surrounded by powerful people. They were helpless, but in Nigeria, we have prayed, we have fasted nothing has happened, then, we decided by praising God, God will fight for us and defeat all our enemies.
“We believe that after today, things will never remain the same again in Nigeria. 2023 will be year of testimony. God will rise on our behalf and fight against our enemies.
“God is a sovereign God. The person that will rule with human sympathy, God will give us. We will continue to pray as a church, we need to participate and get our PVC. Prayer will not do it, we need to go out and participate. Christians should not sit on the fence anymore. We need to collectively take action and elect the best leaders.
“Nigeria will come back to the old order. Things will not remain the same. When you’re powerless, it is only God that can fight your battle. The importance of this programme is that, when you know how to praise God, you get more. Praise will move God. When praising God, blessing will come.
