BISHOPS DAVID ABIOYE AND THOMAS AREMU TAKE A GLORIOUS BOW OUT OF SERVICE IN LIVING FAITH CHURCH AFTER OVER 4 AND 3 DECADES RESPECTIVELY
It’s now official!
Bishop David Olatunji Abioye and Bishop Thomas Aremu, Vice Presidents of the Living Faith Church will be taking their exit out of service in the Liberation Commission also known as the Living Faith Church Worldwide in October 2024 based on the rules of the Mandate which is the Constitution or operational manual of the Liberation Commission.
According to a recent announcement, Bishop Thomas Aremu’s valedictory service will take place at LFC Basorun, Ibadan, Oyo State on Tuesday, 15th of October 2024.
Also according to Church Gist sources, Bishop David Abioye’s valedictory service is scheduled to hold in Lokogoma, Abuja on Friday 18th October 2024.
Bishop Abioye who first met Bishop Oyedepo in 1979 and has been his right hand man since then was sent out to pastor one of the 5 pioneer branches in 1987. Furthermore, he was consecrated in 1993 in Garden of Faith, Barnawa, Kaduna at the age of 32 as the youngest Bishop of a full fledged church in recorded history.
On the other hand, Bishop Aremu who joined the ministry full-time after serving as an accountant in secular organizations is the only one among the 7 Bishops consecrated in November 1999 at Garden of Faith, Kaduna that have remained till date.
It is an epoch making event as it marks the very first time that pastors who have served meritoriously in the Living Faith Church will be openly celebrated on retirement.
According to the revised Mandate, the new age of retirement which was formerly 60 is now 58. Only the Founder will have the privilege of a lifetime of service after which every future leader of the Commission will serve for one term or a maximum of 2 terms of 7 years each subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees. This thus marks a new phase in the operations of this young Church of less than 5 decades.
