Singles Fellowship

The Singles' Fellowship is a department within the Household of God Church structure which seeks to glorify our Lord Jesus Christ through joint participation in entertainments. It is a veritable channel for members to maximise their potentials as peculiar single people. In Nigeria it is the pioneer Singles' Fellowship.

It is clear from the scriptures that the born again Christian who is not married is unencumbered by domestic and matrimonial demands. He or she is therefore positioned to devote more time and energy to the service and honour of our Lord Jesus Christ in a contextualised spiritual family setting.read more

HOLY POLICE DEPARTMENT
Our Church, The Household of God was founded on the vision and mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ and has been sustained by his grace and revelation.
The Holy Police Department is the arm of the church organization that welcomes members and visitors to church, was set up on the wisdom of our Lord Jesus Christ to ensure that all who come to church will worship God knowing that their cars, parked in our very expansive 2 (nos) car parks, are well secured and looked after. On every worship day, we start with praise and prayer, and the mercy and power of our Lord Jesus Christ comes in to grant us the humble spirit required for his work, and the power to guard and protect us. Our whole period of work is solemn in worship and praise of our Lord Jesus Christ who alone must keep the city otherwise, the watchmen will stay awake in vain. read more

DELIVERANCE DEPARTMENT
 In the Bible, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ taught and demonstrated deliverance ministrations. In communicating the love of God to mankind, He came and set the captives free, as is written, ‘How Jesus went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil, for God was with Him’ (Acts 10: 38).  It is also written, ‘the spirit of the Lord is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to… proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound… to set at liberty them that are bruised’ (Lk 4: 18, Is. 61: 1). Jesus Christ also empowered and authourised us to do same in his name (Mathew 27: 28, Mark 16: 18). It is in the spirit of this commission that we as Christians exercise our authority over Satan, demons and situations that are contrary to His promises to us. read more

PASTORAL CARE
In showing His grace and compassion, our Lord Jesus Christ teaches us to love the brethren by bearing each other's burdens. 'For if one suffers, all suffers, because we are all members of one body' (1 Cor 12: 12 – 27, 2 Cor: 1: 3-4, 1 Thes 5: 11). There are several testimonials of our Lord and Saviour’s expression of love, care and compassion while on earth, and because we have His mind, we do likewise. Jesus Christ came to show the love of God in concrete terms by giving His life as a ransom, and we in the same spirit show his love by attending to the needs of the brethren. read more
