This was contained in the exhortation of the Primate of The First African Church Mission(Inc) Nigeria and Overseas, His Eminence, The Most Rev.Dr. S.O. Matiluko at the investiture of 13 Sacred Knights of the Primatial Order (KPO) on Sunday, at Jehovah Shalom Cathedral, Tinubu, Lagos.
Matiluko maintained that Government’ has everything at its disposal to curtail and end the insecurity in the Country.
“After God, it is Government’, let our Government rise up and live to expectations. They can do this by providing reasonable employment to our youth and satisfy the yearnings of the masses throughout the Nation. An idle hand is the devil’s workshop”, he said
Among those investited were Chief Adeyemi Nelson together with 12 others by Primate Matiluko as Sacred Knights of the Primatial Order (KPO). In the event which was held at the The First African Church Mission (INC), Tinubu, Lqgos the candidates for the Knighthood following their presentation and examination by the Bishop swore allegiance to God.
In a sermon, titled “The Royal Priesthood” taken from the Book of 1st Peter 2 verse 9, Bishop Matiluko stated that Knights are known by their lifestyles, dispositions, and actions. Hence, he stressed that what one does for the church, qualifies him/her for the position of Knighthood.
The Bishop told the new Knights that their investiture is a call to duty in the church of God charging them to always emulate the life of Jesus Christ and the Biblical David and his soldiers, who laid their lives for Christ.
“Anything unholy must be found with you. You are now a peculiar people. A unique people. You have agreed to be soldiers of Christ, you cannot do what ordinary people are doing”, Matiluko told the new Knights.
He also instructed them not to expect anyone to glorify them for serving God, if they do please return it to God.
“You are now a defender of Church. All the same, you must embrace holiness because you have been chosen by divine providence and you must at all times abide by that holiness at all times”, he charged the Knights.
According to Chief Adeyemi Abidemi Nelson, the husband of Chief Kemi Nelson, a top echelon and Governor’s Advisory Committee member in Lagos State said he was delighted at the investiture and promised to work harder for the church.
