The May 7 World Praise Day programme, which is scheduled to debut worldwide on Saturday, May 7, 2022, is targeted at four billion people, singing and praising God on that day, according to the convener/ visionary, Deacon Banjo Omole.
For some time now, Banjo, a Deacon of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Victory Parish, Iju, Ifako Ijaiye, Lagos, has been spreading the message of the May 7 World Praise Day, asking individuals to praise God on that day anywhere they may be.
He said he received the May 7 World Praise Day vision about seven years ago, when God told him in a revelation to inauguration a global movement of glorious praise to the Almighty God on May 7 every year. This praise event is akin to the United Nations dedicated days like the Father’s Day, Malaria Day, Children’s Day, etc. Omole said, in like manner, people are to praise God on May 7 every year to give glory to His name.
To this end, the Deacon is optimistic that once the world fully understands and embrace the idea, a projected global audience of about four billion would join the mammoth event on May 7 of every year.
“Ultimately, like the Thanksgiving Day or which former American President, Abraham Lincoln initiated in the 19th century, which millions of Christians now practice in various ways, I expect the May 7 World Praise Day to grow gradually and be adopted by billions of people around the world,” Deacon Omole said.
Meanwhile, he explained that several churches across denominations have expressed their desires to adopt the May 7 World Praise Day, with assurances that a lot of these churches would organize the praise event on the day.
He’s happy that the Zonal Chairmen of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN in local government areas like Ifako-Ijaiye, Ojokoro etc, have expressed their support for the praise event, and would ask churches within their jurisdiction to participate in the project.
