Renowned pastor and founder of Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC), Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo, kicked off a vibrant Thanksgiving Service on Sunday, drawing a large congregation of faithful who gathered to celebrate God’s blessings and express gratitude for His grace.
Held at the KICC Prayer City in Lagos, the service was a powerful display of faith, with Pastor Ashimolowo leading the charge in a heartfelt message of thanksgiving. “We are here today not to ask for anything, but to give thanks for all that God has done and continues to do in our lives,” Pastor Ashimolowo declared, as the congregation erupted in applause and cheers.
The service, which featured uplifting worship and fervent prayers, was marked by an atmosphere of joy and reverence. The congregation, filled with both long-time members and new attendees, joined in songs of praise, thanking God for His faithfulness, provision, and protection throughout the year.
During his sermon, Pastor Ashimolowo reflected on the importance of gratitude in the Christian faith, emphasizing that thanksgiving is not just an annual event, but a continual practice that strengthens believers’ relationship with God. He encouraged attendees to “celebrate in every circumstance, for in all things, God is present and working for our good.”
The event was also an opportunity for Pastor Ashimolowo to recognize the contributions of the KICC community in spreading the message of hope and faith. The Thanksgiving Service concluded with a special offering, which Pastor Ashimolowo said would go toward the church’s various outreach programs and charitable initiatives.
For many, the service was a timely reminder of the importance of gratitude, unity, and faith in times of both joy and challenge. “Today, we celebrate the goodness of God in our lives,” Pastor Ashimolowo said, “and we look forward to even greater blessings in the years ahead.”
The atmosphere of joy, warmth, and fellowship marked another successful chapter in KICC’s mission to uplift, inspire, and spread the message of hope in Nigeria and beyond.
