OAIC Lagos Pays Courtesy and Congratulatory Visit to Her Grace, Dr. Oluseye Yomi-Sholoye
The leadership of the Organization of African Instituted Churches (OAIC), Lagos State, paid a courtesy and congratulatory visit to Her Grace, Dr. Oluseye Yomi-Sholoye, the Iya Aladura General and Founder of New Seraph Evangelical Ministry (NSEM), following her remarkable achievement in the successful completion of the Secretariat of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Lagos State chapter, where a floor was named in her honour.
The OAIC Lagos State rejoices with Dr. Yomi-Sholoye for her outstanding support and contribution for Christian ecumenism and the propagation of the Gospel in the State.
Speaking during the visit, His Eminence, Apostle General Olugbenga J. Opasola, the State Chairman of OAIC Lagos, described Her Grace as an exceptional mother of faith. He likened her to Priscilla in Acts 18, who played a vital role in the early Church by mentoring the evangelist Apollos, hosting house churches in Rome, Corinth, and Ephesus, and risking her life for the advancement of the Gospel.
The State Chairman emphasized that Dr. Yomi-Sholoye’s contributions to the Christian community make her a valuable pillar within the ecumenical movement. He therefore stated that she should be fully integrated into the activities of OAIC, the umbrella body for all African Instituted/Indigenous Churches in Lagos State.
During the visit, he formally introduced the activities and vision of OAIC to Her Grace and declared her a Grand Patroness of OAIC Lagos State.
“This honour is well deserved,” he noted, “in recognition of Her Grace’s humility, dedication, and unwavering commitment to the work of God.”
In her response, Her Grace, Dr. Oluseye Yomi-Sholoye, expressed deep appreciation to the OAIC Lagos State leadership for the visit and recognition. She noted that whatever a person possesses is given by God and must be dedicated to His service.
She added that the encouragement from OAIC Lagos State would inspire her to do even more for the Christian fold and for the advancement of God’s Kingdom.
She further assured the delegation that her church, Faith Mission C&S Church, would demonstrate greater commitment and actively support the activities of the ecumenical body.
Among members of the OAIC Lagos State Executive members during the visit includes, Mother Evelyn Madekwe, State Assistant Secretary (Christ Holy Church International), and Superior Evangelist Elijah Ademola Akinyemi, State Welfare Director I (Celestial Church of Christ) with others.
