Sinners, corrupt leaders, false prophets others Won’t Escape God’s Judgement, GKS declares
The God’s Kingdom Society (GKS) worldwide has rounded-off the 2024 Christian activities of the Church with the Christian Feast of Tabernacles.
Addressing the large turn-out of the Feast celebrants and invited guests during the ‘Last and Great Day Holy Convocation’ at St. Urhobo Square, Headquarters of GKS Warri, Delta State, the GKS president, Brother Felix Ekundayo Adedokun said that sinners, corrupt leaders, false prophets, cultists, kidnappers, perpetrators of evil and wars won’t escape God’s judgement unless they repent.
Brother Adedokun further said that God appointed judges in those days with a purpose to ensure peaceful co-existence, unity and stability of the nation of Israel, but people continue to pervert justice thereby creating more problems for mankind.
He noted that nearly all parts of the world have been engulfed with crisis, wars, chaotic situations, poor leadership, greed and wickedness.
Brother Adedokun stated that when our Lord Jesus Christ was on earth, He made it clear that God has committed all judgement to him, adding that he who rejected the Word of God and continues in evil way shall be condemned on the last day.
He disclosed that God has set up ‘His Kingdom Organizations’ in different parts of the world for the purpose of pronouncing the judgement of God on the nations as well to execute judgement upon the heathen and punishment upon the people.
In his message, “Why Judgement And Purgation Are Much More Necessary in the Service of God” the GKS president warns all those who have been called to serve in His Holy Organization in this age should be serious with the work lest they suffer dire consequences for judgement must begin in the House of God.
According to him “The judgement is purely spiritual and is unlike what obtains in the courts of the world. Those who hear the truth and are obedient to the Word of God until the end will receive favourable judgement from God. But those who do not believe the truth but have pleasure in unrighteousness will be damned, as they will receive adverse judgement. He shall judge the world with righteousness and the people with his truth.”
He affirmed that the Last Day refers to the last period of Satan’s existence on earth following the enthronement of our Lord Jesus Christ as King of God’s Kingdom and the Devil and all his agents of unrighteousness will be destroyed.
“Any Church Organization where there is no judgement based on the truth, is not a true Church. The true Church therefore must warn, condemn and expose those given to sin: fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, and abusers of themselves with mankind (homosexual), thieves, covetous, drunkards, revilers, and extortions among others.”
“The true Church will oppose the works of the flesh which St. Paul said include adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envying and such likes must be made clear that those who indulge in such things shall not inherit the Kingdom of God” he added.
The GKS president urged those entrusted with administration of the Kingdom in this age must work hard to maintain their stand against the devil and his hosts, adding that God shall judge the righteous and the wicked for there is a time for every purpose and every work.
The GKS president who quoted several bible passages said that man must be ready to promote peaceful co-existence, love, good work, help fellow men that are in need and Christians should give themselves to righteousness and things that uplift their fellow men in any organization they belong.
He stated that Christians should ensure they seek things that will promote the name of God and His Church, instead of getting entangled in talebearing, rumour mongering, false witnessing, corruption, cultism, treachery and all such likes vices should repent and do the will of God at all times.
The eight days Christian festival featured various spiritually-filled bible lectures by the GKS ministers, while the GKS faithful were entertained with various Christian music including choral dances from GKS different branches during the festival period attended by over 100 branches of the Church.

“As a result, I want to announce to the general public that the government will procure petroleum products and sell to the farmers at a subsidised rate,” he said.
