He said it was only through fervent prayers and the studying of God's Word, the Bible that the truth of God's hidden secrets of eternal life and wisdom would be revealed.

Speaking on the theme: "Safeguarding the New Experience," Pastor Warri appealed to Christians to eschew selfishness and cultivate the act of sharing both material blessings and the Word of God with others.
