The 29th annual convention of the God Is Able Covenant Mission (GOSACOM) Inc. commenced with a strong call to health consciousness as Dr. Adeyemi Temitope of Heritage Hospital, Ope-Oluwa, Ita-Oshin, Abeokuta, delivered an insightful health lecture to declare the programme open.
Before the health session, the General Overseer of GOSACOM expressed profound gratitude to God for sustaining and protecting the church despite the numerous challenges currently confronting the nation. He congratulated members on witnessing yet another convention, officially declaring the 2025 edition open.
He encouraged the congregation to remain steadfast, noting that “this is the time of remembrance of long-awaited promises.”
Introducing the guest speaker, Apostle P.O. Adeniji underscored the relevance of health education, noting that only those in good health can fully partake in convention activities. He encouraged members to equip themselves physically and spiritually for the morning and evening sessions that will characterize the week-long programme.
Dr. Adeyemi, in his presentation, highlighted the need for individuals to take their health seriously, emphasizing that—according to the World Health Organization—health is not merely the absence of disease but the total well-being of an individual.
He urged participants to maintain good hygiene, eat balanced diets, and prioritize adequate sleep, recommending 7–9 hours daily. “Even God rested after creation,” he reminded the congregation, stressing the spiritual and physical value of rest.
The medical expert further encouraged regular exercise, cautioning that it must be done in moderation. He noted that although the current economic and social situation in the country has increased stress levels, individuals must intentionally create avenues for rest and relaxation.
He advised members to engage in social and recreational activities to relieve tension and not hesitate to speak out when facing challenges. Dr. Adeyemi also reiterated the importance of periodic medical checks, urging the congregation to undergo general check-ups at least once every six months. He emphasized the need for consistent monitoring of blood pressure, which he described as a “silent killer.”
Dr. Adeyemi also cautioned against the excessive consumption of highly processed foods, stressing that many such products contain additives and preservatives that may harm long-term health. He encouraged the congregation to embrace more local foods, which he described as richer, healthier, and more beneficial to overall wellness.
This year’s convention has drawn participants from the church and beyond, with many expressing excitement at the renewed focus on holistic well-being—spiritual, physical, and emotional. Attendees described the health talk as timely, coming at a period when many Nigerians are grappling with rising health concerns and economic pressures that often limit access to proper medical care.
Church leaders also highlighted that the convention aims not only to uplift members spiritually but also to empower them with knowledge that enhances their quality of life. They reiterated the mission’s commitment to producing a healthy, spiritually vibrant congregation capable of contributing meaningfully to society.
The 2025 GOSACOM Convention continues with morning and evening ministrations by various anointed ministers of God and will climax on Sunday, 7 December 2025, with a grand Thanksgiving service at the Rehoboth Ground, Mango, Oke-Ata, Idigba.
