Pastor Jerry Eze's Powerful Declaration Over the Children
During the dedication, Pastor Jerry Eze delivered a fervent prayer over the gathered infants, declaring that none of the dedicated children would live ordinary or unremarkable lives. He prayed that each child would surpass the failures and rejections their parents may have experienced, and that their bodies and spirits would remain uncorrupted.
"My children, we will not be called average," he declared. "They will not fail where you have failed. They will not stumble where you have stumbled. They will not be rejected where you were rejected. Their spirits will not be corrupted. Their body will not be corrupted. In the name of Jesus." He concluded the dedication by committing each child in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
