Renowned Nigerian pastor and founder of The Redeemed Evangelical Mission (TREM), Bishop Mike Okonkwo, has declared 2025 as a year of unprecedented transformation and empowerment for individuals, families, and the nation at large. The highly anticipated announcement was made during his New Year message delivered to thousands of congregants at the church’s annual crossover service.
Speaking to a packed auditorium, Bishop Okonkwo outlined his vision for the year, focusing on spiritual renewal, personal growth, and societal impact. According to him, 2025 will be a pivotal year for both believers and non-believers alike, as they are called to take bold steps towards achieving their God-given potential.
“2025 is a year where we will see transformation in every sphere of life,” Bishop Okonkwo declared. “It is a year to empower ourselves spiritually, financially, and mentally. We will rise above mediocrity, break the chains of limitation, and begin to walk in the fullness of the promises that God has for us.”
Spiritual Renewal and Empowerment
Central to his declaration is a renewed emphasis on personal spiritual growth. Bishop Okonkwo called on Christians to deepen their relationship with God through consistent prayer, studying the Word, and active participation in fellowship. He emphasized that a stronger spiritual foundation is crucial for overcoming life’s challenges and achieving lasting success.
“We will invest in our spiritual development this year. As we seek God’s face and align ourselves with His will, we will witness breakthroughs that will propel us into our destinies,” he said.
Economic Transformation and Social Impact
In line with his message of empowerment, Bishop Okonkwo also stressed the need for economic transformation. He encouraged his followers to not only seek personal prosperity but also to focus on creating lasting change within their communities. This includes supporting local businesses, investing in youth development programs, and championing causes that uplift marginalized groups.
“God has placed in us the ability to prosper in all things, but this prosperity is not just for us. It is for us to share, to build, and to transform our society. Let’s step into 2025 with the mindset of creating generational wealth that will outlive us,” he added.
National Healing and Unity
The bishop’s message also included a call for national healing in Nigeria, urging Nigerians to unite across religious and ethnic lines for the collective good of the country. He acknowledged the political and economic challenges facing the nation but expressed optimism that, with God’s guidance, Nigeria could emerge stronger.
“Let us set aside division and embrace unity. Nigeria’s greatness lies in its diversity, and as we work together, we will experience a renewal in every aspect of our nation’s life,” he said.
Bishop Okonkwo concluded by calling on Christians to be agents of change in their communities, challenging them to embody the love, power, and wisdom of God in all their dealings. His words resonated deeply with many attendees, leaving them inspired and eager to embrace the opportunities 2025 holds.
As the year progresses, all eyes will be on Bishop Okonkwo’s leadership and the impact of his vision on the Nigerian Church and society. His message of transformation, empowerment, and unity is already setting the tone for what promises to be a landmark year for TREM and its global followers.
