It’s the Christmas season. All is set for the first of a wide range of activities which will herald the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ nationwide and globally. This landmark event is TheMediaGood Newspaper Carol and Hymns Concert which will be held tomorrow 1st December 2024 at The Novus Centre, 12k Nana Okuribido Street, Ismail Estate, opposite Maryland Mall, Lagos.
The Concert will gather eminent Christians in the marketplace who will be delivering melodious rendition of soul-lifting hymns and songs as they raise holy hands to praise the Lordship of Jesus Christ. They will also be reliving and re-enacting the beauty of Christmas as they sing carols and read the nine lessons of Christmas.
The Christian event powered by one of Nigeria’s finest media brand, TheMediaGood Newspaper will also provide a perfect opportunity for the media organization to present its prestigious Defender of the Faith Award (TNDFA) to eminent Christians ‘who are not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ’ in their various mountains of influence. By this presentation, the eminent Christians will be inducted into the College of The Defenders of the Faith.
Speaking about this laudable initiative, the Editor of TheMediaGood Newspaper who is also the Convener of the Carol Concert, Abayomi Oyelami hinted: ‘Africa is not cursed, Nigeria is not cursed but there are things that we must do. There are 7 mountains of influence as promoted by an elite group called The Council of African Apostles comprising the likes of Mensa Otabil and Archbishop Duncan Williams of Ghana, Bishop Mike Okonkwo and Matthew Ashimolowo of Nigeria, Tudor Bismark of Zimbabwe, among others that we are supposed to focus on as Africans in order for Africa to take her pride of place in the comity of nations.’
‘TheMediaGood Newspaper Defender of the Faith Award (TNDFA) is centered on looking at awarding eminent Christians in the marketplace who are not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ. More importantly, the essence of giving the Defender of the Faith Award TNDFA is to induct these great minds into 1 community called the College of The Defenders of the Faith, in which they will function as a working group, a think-tank, and a spiritual powerhouse.’
‘It is important to note that the awardees have been doing these things individually. But we want to respectfully plead with them that despite their busy work schedule and time constraint, they should find time to come together to make an impact corporately’, Abayomi Oyelami concluded.
