“Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” — Dr. Chris Okafor

Grace Nation Worldwide marked a special occasion as members gathered at the international headquarters in Lagos, Nigeria, to celebrate the birthday of the Generational Prophet and Senior Pastor, Christopher Okafor, who turned a year older on April 4, 2026.

A Service of Thanksgiving and Celebration

The atmosphere was filled with gratitude as sons and daughters of the ministry came together to appreciate God for the life and impact of their spiritual leader.

The celebration featured a variety of activities, including special musical renditions, Bible recitations, choreography presentations, and a vibrant praise and worship session led by the Liberation Voices.

The highlight of the event was the ceremonial cutting of the birthday cake, followed by joyful celebration and thanksgiving, all dedicated to the glory of God.

Teaching on the Death and Resurrection of Christ ,Earlier in the day, the service also commemorated the resurrection of Jesus Christ, with Dr. Okafor delivering a message on “The Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.”

In his teaching, he described the sacrifice of Christ at Calvary as the foundation of the Christian faith.

“The death of Jesus represents the depth of God’s love for humanity,” he said, while emphasizing that the resurrection is the ultimate confirmation and strength of the believer’s faith.

The State of Humanity Before Redemption

Dr. Okafor explained that before the sacrifice of Christ, humanity was bound by sin, subject to judgment, and separated from God. He highlighted the consequences of the fall of man, including spiritual loss and the inevitability of judgment.

The Purpose of Christ’s Sacrifice

According to the cleric, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ brought restoration and reconciliation between God and humanity.

“When a person is restored to God, life becomes meaningful,” he noted, adding that the sacrifice of Christ signifies the forgiveness of sin and a new beginning for believers.

A Message of Hope

In conclusion, Dr. Okafor stated that the resurrection of Jesus Christ provides believers with the opportunity to live a fruitful and abundant life, anchored in faith and divine purpose.

The combined celebration of his birthday and the message of Easter created a moment of reflection, joy, and renewed commitment among members of Grace Nation Worldwide.
