God’s Kingdom Society (GKS) President, Brother Felix Adedokun
God’s Kingdom Society (GKS) President, Brother Felix Adedokun, has said that genuine followers of Jesus Christ are peace ambassadors who remain committed to the teachings and propagation of the Gospel. Adedokun made the assertion during the 2026 Church Freedom Day Divine Service, held at Salem City, the GKS Headquarters, Warri, Delta State, to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ.
Speaking on the state of the world, the GKS President lamented the prevalence of crises, disobedience, religiosity, wickedness, cultism and corruption, describing them as practices that are contrary to the teachings of Jesus Christ. According to him, true discipleship is demonstrated through obedience to Christ’s teachings and a life that reflects His virtues.
“A true disciple of Jesus Christ is one who follows and abides by all that Jesus Christ taught in both precept and practice. True discipleship is measured by good deeds arising from the Spirit of Christ,” he said. Adedokun described Jesus Christ as the embodiment of virtue, flawless character and an exceptional teacher whose earthly life was marked by humility, simplicity and complete submission to the will of God. He urged Christians to emulate these qualities in their daily lives.
Delivering a sermon titled: “Are We Disciples of Christ Indeed?”, he observed that although many people profess Christianity, only a few genuinely practise the teachings of Christ. According to him, many identify as Christians outwardly but fail to live as true disciples of Jesus Christ.
Citing data from The World Population by Religion: A Global Tapestry of Faith by Pam Wasserman, published on January 12, 2024, Adedokun noted that Christianity has about 1.4 billion adherents worldwide. He said if all who profess the Christian faith truly lived according to Christ’s teachings, the world would be a far better place. He identified obedience, love, humility, faith, steadfastness and forgiveness as some of the spiritual virtues taught and exemplified by Jesus Christ, urging Christians to cultivate them.
On the observance of Christ’s birth and Holy Communion, Adedokun explained that GKS celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ rather than His death. He maintained that Jesus did not command Christians to partake in Holy Communion daily, noting that the Last Supper was symbolic and intended as a memorial for sober reflection rather than a daily ritual. Also speaking, Brother Andrew Ekireghwo, in a sermon titled: “Was Christ Born On Christmas Day?“, argued that historical records, biblical chronology and climatic evidence indicate that Jesus Christ was born in October, not December as widely believed by many Christian denominations.
Ekireghwo said scriptural, historical and climatic evidence collectively support the position that Christ’s birth occurred in October. The service featured worship, praise sessions, dances and prayers, as members gathered to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and reaffirm their commitment to His teachings.
