Juju music maestro and General Overseer of De Cross Bible Church, Ebenezer Obey Fabiyi has, on Sunday April 29, ordained his son Folarin Obey Fabiyi as the deputy General Overseer of Decross Bible Church.
At an occasion graced by artistes like Sir Shina Peters, Kenny Saint Best, Rev. (Mrs) Esther Ajayi, Dele Momodu and a host of other dignitaries, the ordination ceremony came along with Obey’s 76th birthday thanksgiving service at the Church premise in Agege, Lagos.
The Miliki music king disclosed that it was high time the mantle of leadership is passed on to young and vibrant generation, stating that the work of God has to move on from generations to generations.
“I am doing this in preparation of my retirement, even though we cannot retire from the work of God, but we can sit back and see the work going on to the glory of God. This is what we are witnessing today”, said Evangelist Obey.
“I want to state here that the position of the General Overseer in Decross Gospel Mission is that of a Bishop to oversee the ministry. That is why we have the great men of God, the Arch Bishop, Bishops, Rev Mother and the men of God to do this first part this morning. The second part will be coming up during our convention in November/December when we shall ordain others who have fulfilled the procedure of ordination in DGM.”
The musician cum evangelist further stated that it is a great joy for him witnessing what the celebration in what he tagged a blessing said, “I feel great because it is a joyous occasion to have this two in one blessing because it is a blessing. To clock 76 can only be made possible by God and to pass the batty of the ministry to my son as Deputy General Overseer can only be made possible by God and I really thank God about it.
The new Deputy General Overseer, Folarin Obey Fabiyi added, “I give God praise for the grace that counted worthy to be elevated to the office of the Deputy General Overseer of this great ministry. This is no doubt a call for greater responsibilities and I know the God of my father will see me through. I rejoice with other ministers that have also been promoted. I believe God will use this elevation to open new chapter for Decross Gospel Mission in Jesus name.”
