Speaking on the theme, the guest preacher, Bishop Dr. Funke Felix-Adejumo urged the women to picture their destiny, choose to be happy and discipline their destiny.

Bishop Adejumo emphasized the importance of mothers praying for their children, especially their firstborns, citing the example of Esau and Jacob in Genesis 27:1. “You must as a mother pray for your children and more specifically for your firstborn. Firstborns are not born, they are made.”

The sermon concluded with a call to action, encouraging the women to take control of their lives, be mindful of their surroundings, and pray for their families and Delta State.
