Jehovah’s Witnesses Harp On Patience In Nigeria

Nigerians have been advised to be patient towards overcoming challenges in their day-to-day activities.

The Chairman, of the 2023 Regional Convention of Jehovah Witnesses, Mr. Ahmadu Adamu Garba gave the advise during the Convention in Kwali Abuja with the theme “Exercise Patience”.

The Chairman who expressed concern over the impatient attitude of some Nigerians said the society would be a better place if everyone is patient for a better tomorrow.

“Today we live in a world that is filled with impatience, we want to be careful not to allow the impatience of the world to rub off on us and we saw examples of how our Creator, Jehovah is patient and also how Jesus, His son is equally patient as well as how several faithful servants of God of old in the past were patient hence the need for us to embrace this good virtue in all our endeavors towards ensuring success and breakthrough ” He stated.

According to him, the delegates at the convention will be better informed on the Importance of this vital Christian quality and demonstrate to others that they are patient people by following the examples of Jehovah God.

Mr Garba therefore advised the delegates at the convention to put into practice what they have learned during the programme by being a shining example and good Ambassadors of Jehovah Witnesses wherever they found themselves.

In a remark, the Regional Spokesperson for Jehovah Witnesses in Abuja, Mr Femi Akinlade said about six thousand conventions would be held worldwide as part of the 2023 “Exercise Patience Convention” series.

Mr Akinlade stated that in Nigeria alone, over 320 conventions would be held in 39 host cities.

“From Friday through Sunday, six convention sessions will explore the quality of patience, highlighting its modern-day relevance through scriptural examples among other activities as well as baptism” the Spokesperson explained.

Some of the delegates at the Convention, Mrs. Lydia Onuoha and Brain Ojegwo promised to propagate the gospel of patience to others through what they have learned during the Programme.

The convention which is being attended by about two thousand delegates featured the baptism of about twenty delegates.
