President, Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) Supreme Council, Pastor Gabriel Lagunju, has charged pastors of the church to see themselves as servants of God with the responsibility of taking people into His vineyard.
He gave the admonition at the ordination of more than 800 pastors, who graduated from the church’s Bible colleges and the closing ceremony of the annual Pastors’ Conference of the church, held at the C. A. C. Ile Aanu, Alasepe Prayer Ground, Ikire, Osun State.
He said as men of God that members of the church looked up to guidance in every facet of life, they had a duty to direct them aright, stating that preaching going to heaven should be their focus at all times.
According to him, with their ordination they should be prepared to move closer to God without whom they cannot make success of their calling.
