Bishop David Olatunji Abioye and Bishop Thomas Aremu , Vice Presidents of the Living Faith Church will be taking their exit out of service in the Liberation Commission also known as the Living Faith Church Worldwide in October 2024 based on the rules of the Mandate which is the Constitution or operational manual of the Liberation Commission.

Ekwutosblog reports that According to a recent announcement, Bishop Thomas Aremu’s valedictory service will take place at LFC Basorun, Ibadan, Oyo State on Tuesday, 15th of October 2024. Also according to sources, Bishop David Abioye’s valedictory service is scheduled to hold in Durumi, Abuja on Friday 18th October 2024.

Bishop Abioye who first met Bishop Oyedepo in 1979 and has been his right hand man since then was sent out to pastor one of the 5 pioneer branches in 1987. Furthermore, he was consecrated in 1993 in Garden of Faith, Barnawa, Kaduna at the age of 32 as the youngest Bishop of a full fledged church in recorded history.

On the other hand, Bishop Aremu who joined the ministry full-time after serving as an accountant in secular organizations is the only one among the 7 Bishops consecrated in November 1999 at Garden of Faith, Kaduna that have remained till date. It is an epoch making event as it marks the very first time that pastors who have served meritoriously in the Living Faith Church will be openly celebrated on retirement.

According to the revised Mandate, the new age of retirement which was formerly 60 is now 58. Only the Founder will have the privilege of a lifetime of service after which every future leader of the Commission will serve for one term or a maximum of 2 terms of 7 years each subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees.

This thus marks a new phase in the operations of this young Church of less than 5 decades. Jesus is Lord!

Hundreds of people queued to visit the tomb of the late Pope Francis at the St. Mary Major church in Rome on Sunday.

Mourners began lining up to visit the tomb of the late Pope Francis at the St. Mary Major Basilica in Rome on Sunday.

The church, where the late pope is buried in a simple underground tomb, in keeping with his wishes, opened its doors to the faithful at 7 a.m. Vatican time (0500 GMT).

While many of his predecessors are buried at St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City, Francis chose the basilica because he revered it, oftentimes visiting before and after trips abroad or hospital stays.

Francis became the first pontiff in over a century to be buried outside the grounds of the Vatican, when he was laid to rest in a private ceremony.

Australia’s major political parties on Tuesday paused campaigning following the death of Pope Francis, with leaders paying tribute to the late pontiff.

The early voting would open on May 3, with the federal election.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese attended a morning mass at Melbourne’s St Patrick’s Cathedral, while opposition leader Peter Dutton said he would spend the day reflecting.

He added, “today was not the day for big politicking,’’ broadcaster ABC reported.

According to news agency AAP, both leaders cancelled scheduled campaign events but will proceed with the third leaders’ debate on Tuesday night.

Albanese, a Catholic, called Pope Francis “one of the most significant of all the holy fathers,’’ praising his humility and focus on social justice.

Flags on Commonwealth buildings would be lowered to half-mast in tribute on Tuesday, the government said.
