The Bishop of Ilaje Diocese, Anglican Communion, Right Reverend Issac Adeniji, has charged the newly-ordained priests to be faithful to God and win more souls for His kingdom.
Adeniji gave this charge during the ordination service, held at Holy Trinity Cathedral Church, Igbokoda, Ondo State, adding that, “They should be faithful in their duties and win more souls for Christ.”
He also urged them to be honest and make the presence of God a priority in their ministry.
“This is a call to service and you need to be faithful and win more souls for God because this is what God is expecting of you. Don’t disappoint God and everything you do must be according to the glory of God.”
Some of the ordained deacons include Abejoye Okanmiyin, Adejimi Ajibola, Asogbon Elisha, Ikuenogbon Nicholas and Sofoluwe Raphael.

The cleric stressed that they should be wise like snakes and behave like doves, saying, “It will simplify help them as they journey into their different ministries.”
Ogunseiye further said that they should see their new titles as a new challenge, urging them to be diligent with their service to God.
