Rev. Mother Esther Ajayi, founder of Love of Christ Generation Church (LOC), says the birth of her church in Nigeria is a result of divine instruction to leave the United Kingdom (UK) and return home.

Speaking on Sunday during the grand opening and dedication of the church’s cathedral in Lagos, Rev. Mother Esther thanked her husband, Rev. Dr. Ademuyiwa, for supporting her vision to start a ministry in Nigeria.

She stated that the mission of the church is to provide a spiritual environment for people all over the world to worship God.

Among the dignitaries in attendance at the event were Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG); Former President Olusegun Obasanjo; Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ooni of Ife; Otunba Gbenga Daniel, former governor of Ogun state; Rochas Okorocha, former governor of Imo state; Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale, Oluwo of Iwoland and Oba Gbolahan Lawal, Oniru of IruLand.

While leading a prayer of unity at the ceremony, Pastor Samson Ayokunle, president of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), said Nigerians need to embrace love across all ethnic groups in order to overcome the challenges facing the nation.
