He made this call in Enugu at his 50th birthday celebration and book presentation. He said that now is the best time to put all the time and resources to populate the kingdom of God. He also admonished Nigerians to continue trusting God to help them out of the current challenges.
“As we seek to fulfill the work of God in our hands before Jesus comes, God has progressively given us various directions of impacting the lives of people. Most significantly is the Disciple Making Movement. By this revelation, God has given us a ten million-souls discipleship project for the next twenty years” he said. He also encouraged Christians to shun worldliness and embrace godliness.
