She noted the remarkable evolution of the Monthly Praise and Prayer Sessions, initiated by the First Family in 2019, into the annual Lagos Praise event, which has become a significant statewide celebration fostering unity and heartfelt worship among the body of Christ.
Mrs Sanwo-Olu recounted the origin of the initiative, highlighting its establishment as a collaborative platform for the First Family, Graceful Ladies, and the Committee of Wives of Lagos State Officials (COWLSO), in conjunction with the five blocs of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Lagos State.
She added that the platform has consistently served to unite Christians across the state in praise and intercession for divine intervention in governance, peace, and development.
She quoted Psalms 67:3 and Psalms 22:3, underscoring the biblical assurance of God inhabiting the praises of His people and the transformative power of worship.
Mrs Sanwo-Olu also reminisced about the milestones of past editions of Lagos Praise, saying that this year’s edition, themed “Sing and Praise Him for Victory,” taken from 2 Chronicles 20:21-22, speaks to the assurance of victory which Lagos has regardless of its numerous challenges.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Chairman, Lagos State Chapter, Rt. Rev Dr. Stephen Adegbite, seized the opportunity of the Lagos Praise event to plead with the residents, especially the youth, to shun any violent protest.
While leading the participants in a prayer session for the President, the Governor, his Deputy, lawmakers, and Lagosians, the CAN Chairman prayed that Nigeria and Lagos State would continue to witness unprecedented growth and development, guided by the power of praise and unity.
The high point of the event was the special presentation made by students of Pacelli School for the Blind, Paul Tao-El-Shaddai, and the mass choir performance.
Participants at the Lagos Praise event were thrilled by good gospel tunes and also led into a mood of inspirational worship by Funmi Olu-Joshua, popularly known as Funmi Sax, who set the atmosphere with her eulogical renditions of praise and worship.
