 They're all extremely proud as we behold this breathtaking architectural achievement and the tasteful finishing of a state of art that can stay there. And the friend word for enabling its completion, because but for his provision and for all his mercies, this would have been impossible. Indeed, unless the Lord builds the house, the labor in vain rebuilds it. But we are spiritual people, so we know that there is more here today. We know that this is not just about dedicating a majestic church auditorium. It is first about honouring God. The building of a great edifice as a place of worship is an important statement to God that we will give our best to him as a testimony of our worship. Second, every church that is built is an important vehicle for the spread of the gospel. Evangelism is crucial, but there must be a place to decipher the saints, to decipher those who are saved, which is why many agree that church planting is the most effective form of evangelism. Third, every church is a lighthouse, a place that draws in men and women to be destructed in the truth that is able to deliver from fear, from oppression and eternal damnation. A place of supper for thousands, a place of joy and praise, a place of encouragement, which is why the sound is set and exalted. I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord. So we must continue to build churches, to build this place of worship, knowing that everywhere we plant a church we establish the light and power of the gospel. And that this gospel of the love of Jesus Christ for all men and women is the answer to the darkness, the pain and misery of our world. So I rejoice with you today, not merely because you have built a church, but because of the benefits that must now accrue to you for building this church. By honouring God, the result is that God will honour you. From the time of David, David did not build a church, he thought about building a church, and the Lord blessed his generation for you. You have not only thought of building a church, you have built a church. So that the wonders and the miracles of God will attest to you and your families, for I don't know the name of the Lord Jesus. I contribute him to the propagation of the gospel. You will qualify for a general reward. But the dedication of the physical building called the church must only remind us that the real work of building the church is that of building up men and women in the knowledge and nurture of the Lord. It is equipping the saints to lead victorious lives here on earth and to show others the way, the truth and the life. That task is more urgent now than ever before. The forces of evil, of hate are more vehement than ever. The battle between light and darkness is more intense than ever. But the church will prevail. Indeed, as the Lord himself assures us, I will build my church and the gates of hell and not prevail against it. Let me on behalf then again of our government congratulate the climate of all Nigerians and Archbishop of the Apujar Diocese, Archbishop of Metropolitan. Today, all members of the clergy who are present here are the Anglican Communion and all members of this great church. And I pray in the words of Solomon as he dedicated the great temple in 2nd Chronicles 6 verse 40. Let your eyes be open, let your ears be attentive to all of the prayers that are set in this place in Jesus' mighty name. Amen. Thank you very much.
