The importance of accurate knowledge of God as the foundation for acceptable worship was a central theme at the 10th session of the Regional Convention of Jehovah’s Witnesses, held in Agbor, Ika South Local Government Area, Delta State.
Delivering a key address, Brother Alfred Okpolokpo stressed that true worship must be based on critical thinking and an honest examination of Bible truths. Citing Romans 12:1, he explained that Christians can determine whether their worship aligns with God’s will by using their “power of reason” to evaluate whether their beliefs are grounded in scriptural truth.
He challenged attendees to look beyond family traditions, material benefits, or personal preferences when choosing a religion, urging them instead to examine whether their faith teaches and lives by God’s high moral standards as outlined in the Bible.
Brother Okpolokpo warned that not all religious teachings about God can be true, emphasizing that for centuries, many have distorted biblical teachings to control others or for financial gain.
Also speaking, Brother Jonathan Ojom, a congregation overseer, highlighted the visible evidence of pure worship in the lives of those who practice it. He noted that the world would be a better place if more people worshipped the true God in a way that meets His standards.
The convention, themed “Pure Worship”, featured Bible-based drama presentations and a baptism ceremony, underscoring the commitment of participants to uphold clean and principled worship in their daily lives.
