The annual Tabieorar festival’s enthusiasm has, no doubt, injected joy, gladness, healing, and perfection, with atmospheric excitement into the air.
The General Warden of the Apata-Pete Ibadan Oyo State Zonal province Headquarters of the church, Joshua Ogunniyi, popularly called Omo Nuni in a media interview, noted Tabieorar 2023 kick starts with 13days white fasting Prayer Retreat, a week ago.
The fasting, according to him, encompassed 13 blessings, forgiveness of sins, cleansings, mercy, blessings, good children, victory from all battles of life, salvation, healing, joy, favour, Holy Spirit and steadfastness to end with the grand finale bringing about a perfect peace from God Almighty.
Ogunniyi further disclosed that the 22/23 vigil on Holy Tabieorar mountain is for people believing in God for breakthroughs in all spheres of life endeavours, miracles, and deliverance from all bondages.
Narrating the history of Tabieorar festival, the Minister-in-Charge and Acting Diocesan, Ibadan, Venerable Kayode Atoloye, said: “Tabieorar festival is a vision, with branches across nations, that has been in existence since 1925. It was structured after its inauguration in 1930 by the founder, 1st Primate, late Prophet General, the Most Rev. Dr Josiah Olunowo Ositelu (PhD PsyD) followed by Late Apostle Dr E. O. A. Adejobi and the 3rd late Primate TCLW Most Rev. G. O. S. Ositelu.”
Atoloye then urged everyone to attend the programme with faith and high expectations to receive from God.
Some of the enthusiasts among the elders, Deacons, and Deaconess of TCLW Apata Pete at the media chat said: “Tabieorar 2023, we can’t wait!”
Pastor Samuel Ogun, Deacon Sina Ogunsuada, Evangelist Adekunle Ogunsanya, Mrs Yemisi Ogunsuada, and Deaconess Mosunmola Adebayo, described Tabieorar’s Journey so far as synonymous with abounding beautiful testimonies of what God has done in their lives.
