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 currency swap boosting bilateral trade
By Gloria Ikibah
The Nigerian government is deepening economic collaboration with China to drive industrialisation and economic diversification.
Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, made this known when she received the Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria, Yu Dunhai, in Abuja.
The Minister emphasised that Nigeria’s longstanding ties with China, spanning over five decades, align with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which prioritises economic expansion and resilience.
Outlining key areas where Nigeria seeks Chinese support, including electric vehicle production, digital technology, renewable energy, and agriculture, Amb. Odumegwu-Ojukwu acknowledged China’s significant role in Nigeria’s road and rail infrastructure development and noted that the country is taking concrete steps to modernize its ports and power sector to attract more investment.
She also highlighted the importance of cultural ties, and noted the growing interest among Nigerian youths in learning the Chinese language.
The minister reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to strengthening its economic partnership with China, highlighting that the ongoing currency swap agreement is already enhancing trade relations between both nations.
“It’s quite interesting that a large population of Nigeria youth is inching towards Chinese Language. A lot of Nigerian Universities are desirous to offer Chinese Language. Chinese had become the language of trade in the world.
“Nigeria-China will continue to relate not just bilaterally but multilaterally.
“We expect that we will continue to get the support of China but we will always reciprocate that multilaterally.
“In line with President Tinubu’s plan to industrialise Nigeria, we expect Chinese cooperation in establishing assembly plants of electric vehicles; digital communication, renewable energy, all aspects of digital technology, agriculture because of food insecurity as the government is interested in seeing that food gets to the poorest of the poor. Government is not just talking about food but has established a separate Ministry of Livestock,” the minister stated.
She urged China to extend trade tariff exemptions to its exports, similar to the concessions already granted to 33 other African nations, emphasising that the Renewed Hope Agenda prioritizes stronger ties between citizens and deeper country-to-country partnerships.
In response, Chinese Ambassador Yu Dunhai reaffirmed China’s commitment to strengthening its relationship with Nigeria, describing the country as a key strategic partner. He noted that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s visit to China and participation in the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) had elevated diplomatic and economic engagements between both nations.
Amb. Yu highlighted ongoing collaborations in infrastructure, including roads, railway modernization, power, industrial parks, and the Lekki Deep Sea Port. He disclosed that trade volume between the two nations exceeded $21 billion last year, with Nigeria’s exports to China accounting for over 25% of this figure.
He further underscored the role of manufacturing in industrialization, pointing to the recently renewed $2 billion currency swap agreement as a tool to enhance financial cooperation, boost bilateral trade, and attract more investment.
Expressing optimism about the future, the envoy stated that these efforts would ultimately yield tangible benefits for ordinary citizens in both countries.
He said: “We have a comprehensive strategic partnership with Nigeria. China would want Nigeria to play a big role in the international scene. We want Nigeria to become a member of G-20. These will all provide opportunity for China and Nigeria to further work together closely.
“For China, we have been very consistent. We give grant to any African countries; we don’t give any conditions.”
He further acknowledged that it was important that the two countries met to review how far they have performed in their bilateral cooperation.
