*Sunday News Report: Cornerstone New Life Church Celebrates Faith and Resilience with Bishop Adesua
Date: February 23, 2025
Venue: Cornerstone New Life Church, Sijuwade Road*
This past Sunday, the Cornerstone New Life Church welcomed both members and non-members to a powerful service led by its esteemed founder, Bishop Olukayode Micheal Adesua. The atmosphere was charged with positivity as congregants gathered to partake in a message centered on the theme “Fear Not.”
Bishop Adesua opened the service with a warm welcome, encouraging attendees to embrace the spirit of community and faith. He emphasized the importance of self-reflection, stating, “Knowing your usefulness, make yourself holy,” and questioned, “Are you accepted by God?” Drawing from Romans 12:1-2, he urged the congregation to see themselves as living sacrifices dedicated to fulfilling God’s will.
“You are a grassroots,” Bishop Adesua continued, urging everyone to stay on the right path. “Use yourself as a living sacrifice, holy to fulfill God’s will in your life.” He highlighted the significance of personal righteousness, reminding the congregation that unanswered prayers could often trace back to one’s own unrighteousness. “Don’t join the counsel of the wicked and the ungodly. Follow the word of God. Convert yourself to a new leaf—redemption. Seek God’s steadfast love and become righteous,” he instructed.
In a poignant moment, the Bishop elaborated on the concept of the “Cloud of Witness,” understood as the Holy Spirit. This concept represents the examples of faith embodied by figures from the Bible such as Abraham, Enoch, and Noah. Referencing Hebrews 11:4-19, he stated, “You shall have Christ. Put your doing unto God, and it shall be fulfilled. Therefore, be patient in all your doing.” He reminded the congregation, “God is the author and the finisher of our faith,” stressing the power of patience and perseverance.
Bishop Adesua also addressed the emotional resonance of familial loss, stating, “Christ resurrected, but your earthly father cannot resurrect. You should only remember the good memories of your earthly father.” He encouraged the congregation to look to the Cloud of Witness as models of faith, emphasizing, “Through faith, Enoch’s situation was reversed.”
As the service unfolded, Bishop Adesua’s teachings struck a chord with many, igniting discussions on the importance of living in accordance with divine principles and seeking renewal in one’s faith.
