Admonishing the gathering, he stated that a growing church troubles a church that is stagnant, while the Ministry of Jesus Christ is a Ministry of righteousness and a church without the Holy Spirit of God cannot stand, likewise a minister without the anointing of God cannot preach the gospel, emphasizing that anointing break the yoke of death; saying that’s what they need for a successful ministry in the Lord’s Vineyard; maintaining that without the anointing of God their Altar will become dormant.
He charged them to be hardworking and committed to their calling of evangelism and not to indulge in farm work; assuring that once they are totally committed to the things of God He will raise people to serve them.
Continuing, The General Overseer of Divine Faith Evangelical Mission International, Agbor, however noted that the problem of the Ministers are the old Prophets, those on top who do not want the Junior Pastors under them to grow. He advised that the only thing which can make them to bear fruits and enjoy the sweetness of their calling is when they hold on to the gospel steadfastly.
Speaking further, the Proprietor of Job Orphanage Home, who is also the Proprietor of St. Stephen Trust Home, both in Agbor, charged them to constantly read the word of God and increase their Prayer life; saying that Jesus Christ is a man of Prayers. He stated that Prayers makes a church, emphasizing that Prayers must be married to the word of God, just like wisdom and knowledge; explaining that without understanding they will misuse wisdom and knowledge.
He encouraged the Pastors to develop the habit of praying day and night; explaining that when Satan wants to destroy their Ministry he will batter their Prayer life.
Prophet Joseph Igbodo, appreciated the Chairman and members of the Physically Challenged Persons and the Ministers for attending the Conference. He enjoined them to always obey the commandments of God and be very careful as Ministers of God by working in accordance to the word of God; disclosing that the Grace of God carry the message of God.

During the second session of the Conference, Evangelist Paul Ebede, in a brief message, while admonishing the Men of God stated that most of them do not know the meaning of Religion and Christianity; explaining that the only one that takes people to heaven is Jesus Christ; that is Christianity; emphasizing that they have to understand Christianity so that they can build their churches on that level.
He urged them to build their faith in the Lord; saying that the problem which they have is that they teach but refused to believe that the word of God is what brings their desires into manifestation.
