Rev’d Oyekan in his exhortation charged the congregation on the imperative of building mansion for themselves in heaven, while congratulating Mogaji Bolantan for the grace to build and dedicate the house.

In their testimonies, decked in white attires, Mogaji Oyedeji and his wife, Princess Deborah, gave all glory to God noting “Without Him the feat wouldn’t have been achieved.”

The Mogaji recalled how in the past he had trouble paying his house rent while re-affirming God as the source of his successes.

The mansion has a spacious living room and private sitting rooms, several rooms including a large master bedroom. The finishing is superb, powered by solar power energy as a backup, garage, games’ stands, and numerous other recreational activities.

“This is magnificent,” an attendee commented in passing, as guests were sumptuously entertained.
