MMU of First Baptist Church, Gwagwalada holds 2026 Emphasis Sunday as Rev. Oyelami urges Christians to rebuild broken walls

 

Men Missionary Union, MMU, of First Baptist Church, Gwagwalada Abuja has celebrated this year’s Emphasis Sunday.

The 2026 Emphasis Sunday themed “Restorer of Broken Walls” was drawn from the book of Nehemiah chapter 1 verse 1 to 9.

Delivering a sermon to mark the occasion, the Minister in charge of the Church, Reverend Deji Oyelami, admonished christians to rebuild whatever walls that have fallen in their service to God.

Reverend Oyelami, who expressed concern over the attitude of some christians towards the gospel, stressed the need for christians to be in the vanguard of rebuilding any fallen walls in their various denominations and society towards ensuring the betterment of the country.

He identified lack of family values, immorality, dishonesty, lack of transparency, patriotism among others as some of the broken walls that needed rebuilding towards repositioning the country for greatness.

According to the Clergyman, propagating the gospel of Jesus Christ and upholding the principles and guidance of the word of God must be strictly adhered to for building the broken walls either in Churches and the society in general.

While admonishing the congregation to allow God to rebuild the broken walls in their lives, Reverend Deji Oyelami emphasized the need for Christians to shun unbiblical messages and false preachers to avoid missing the tracks.

Speaking on the theme of this year’s Emphasis Sunday “Restorer of Broken Walls”, the President of Men Missionary Union, MMU, of the Church, Engr. Aderemi Ajibade said the annual programme was to remind Christian Fathers most especially members of MMU in the Baptist family of what is expected of them in their service to God and humanity in line with the injunction of the Nigerian Baptist Convention, NBC.

Engr. Ajibade therefore advised members of MMU to put into practice the lessons of the Emphasis Sunday towards rebuilding broken walls in their lives and endeavours.

While wishing members of MMU of the Church a blessed Emphasis Sunday stated that the Union would continue to embark on programmes and activities that would strengthen the faith of members in God.
