Akanji further explained that a model church should be a place of surprises and there must be mutual humility. His word’s ‘ the kind of church we want in Nigeria is the one that must be humble’. He prayed that God will give Nigeria humble servants of God. The NCPC Board member averred that God would help the church to be what it should be so that Nigeria would move from Glory to glory.
