…as GKS Celebrates Feast of Tabernacles

By OLAYINKA LATONA

The God’s Kingdom Society (GKS) — The Church of the Living God — has called on Nigerian parents to instill Christian morals in their children as a means of addressing the rising tide of social vices in society.

The appeal was made during the children’s assembly at the ongoing annual Feast of Tabernacles, an eight-day festival observed by the GKS.

Addressing the children on the topic, “Evil Communication Corrupts Good Manners,” Brother E.J. Alli emphasized the importance of instilling the fear of God and timeless moral values in children.

Brother Alli expressed concern over the increasing moral decline in society, attributing it to a failure on the part of parents, who he described as the foundation of society, to fulfill their responsibility of teaching children strong moral principles.

He also urged children and teenagers to avoid friendships that could draw them away from God. He said, “Any friendship that keeps you away from God — your greatest and true friend — should be avoided.”

Quoting various Bible passages, Brother Alli advised children to surround themselves with friends who would help them fulfill God’s purpose for their lives. He also encouraged them to be truthful both at home and in school and to remain obedient.

The annual Christian Feast of Tabernacles, which began on Sunday, December 15, 2024, at the GKS headquarters in Salem City, Warri, Delta State, will conclude on Sunday, December 22, 2024.

Throughout the week-long celebration, ministers are delivering sermons on topics such as:

“Why the Feast of Tabernacles is Celebrated in This Age”

“God’s Kingdom: The Universal Government of Life & Peace”

“Is Salvation Instantaneous?”

“How Are Saints Made?”

“Do Candles, Incense, Crucifix, Olive Oil Enhance the Efficacy of Prayers?”

“Why Marriages Are Failing Today”

Each day of the Feast features orchestral performances from cultural groups across Nigeria, including Isoko, Hausa, Urhobo, Itsekiri, Ijaw, Yoruba, Esan, Benin, Tiv, Efik, and others, creating a vibrant and spiritually uplifting atmosphere.
