RECTOR’S ADDRESS
DELIVERD AT THE 1ST GRADUATION SERVICE OF GROUND OF TRUTH BIBLE INSTITUTE OGBOMOSO SATELITE CAMPUS

The Guest speaker,
Distinguished Servant of God,
The Board of studies,
Tutors of G.T.B.I.,
Fellow Labourers,
Member of Old Students,
Graduating Students,
Beloved Brothers and Sisters.
APPRECIATION:
I want to thank the Lord, the father of our Lord Jesus Christ for His mercy upon our lives and this Institute.
Early this year, this Institute started with God in this Ogbomoso Land
I would like to thank all the good people whom the Lord has given us and who have been supporting us in various ways, God will bless you all. I want to particularly appreciate all the Tutors who laboured tirelessly with me this first Session. I prayer that JEHOVAH will not forget all your labours of love.
This appreciation will not be completed without acknowledging our fathers in the Lord whom the Lord used to lead us to this city. (Prophet M. A. Adewuyi, of Christ Revelation Ministries and Pastor Olaniyi Aremu of chapel of peace church of God
I want to thank God for your Support, understanding, accommodation, and cooperation. We do not take light of your love and the extension of the hand of fellowship to this institute. On behalf of the Principal of this institute and the entire Board of Studies, I say thank you and God bless you.
I must also appreciate the Pastors of this church THE APOSTOLIC CHURCH AKATA ASSEMBLY who owns the building facilities that we are presently using for this graduation. This is nothing but the Love of God in real demonstration.
I pray that God will work with you in this assignment and increase you on every side in Jesus name.
EXHORTATION
I would like to remind all the graduating students to remember all that I have shared with you especially in this last week. “That the grace of God that bringeth salvation has appeared unto all men teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lust. We should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age” (Titus 2:11 -12 N.K.J.V) I therefore charge you to deny all ungodliness, either in the Church, at your working place, in your own family especially in the neighbourhood. You will be our product when you obey this with all your heart.
We did not teach you in the classrooms alone, we also made our lives available to you as examples to learn from.
We did this so that you may learn how to conduct yourselves as becometh the Saints of God.
We taught you about Christian home and what heaven requires from us disciples of Jesus. Remember that you cannot accomplish much for God without your spouse.
Remember that your spouse is the residue of your spirit.
The remaining part of you has been deposited in your spouse, therefore, you are incomplete without your spouse.
We have also taught you on how to submit to you leaders as unto the LORD. Remember that a disciple is not above his master yet, it is enough for a disciple to be like his master. We did NOT teach you to rebel against the constituted authority of your various churches, rather, we taught you to obey them that rule over you. You must not break the church of Jesus Christ
I need to add here that, graduating from a Bible School
Several men and women have died prematurely in ministry because they erroneously thought that because they are Bible Institute graduate, they are qualified to start what they called “their own ministry” Be warned!
Do not disappoint Jesus, do not fail this generation and do not disgrace us.
WHY MONEY IS NOT OUR EMPHASIS AND FOCUS!
A lot of people have wondered greatly why we do not focus on money, either during our graduation services or at the school level.
Dearly beloved brothers and Sisters present, time will fail me to speak freely on various reasons the issue of money has not caught and will not catch our attention in this Institute.
However, I will advance one or two points, which will help our understanding.
When Jesus sent the twelve forth by two and two, the Bible gave this information:
“And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey,
save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse: but be
shod with sandals and not put on two coats” Mk.6:8,9 (KJV)
Jesus specially asked the disciples not to take money in their purses for the journey. Since we therefore know that money was never the emphasis of Jesus, we also refused to make it our emphasis. But He emphasized that they must have a staff with sandals. The staff in the hand of the shepherd is what he uses to direct the sheep; to us this is the word of God! The sandals protect the legs and make a man to travel far. We see the sandals as the preparation of the gospel message, which must take us to the far ends of this earth. We believe that if a man has these two, such cannot be limited.
We noticed again that Judas has the grace to be numbered with the twelve and to obtain part of the ministry with them. To be so numbered is not a small thing. There could be several men and women in the ministry today who may not have obtain any number before they jumped into ministry.
However, these great advantages were wasted in Judas Iscariot the day he wanted his discipleship interpreted in terms of how much money he make from Jesus.
When Jesus sent the apostles to go into the world, He did not give them money, all He gave them was power and Himself. We also believe that with His abiding presence with us, all our needs s hall be met.
Finally brethren, I charge you to preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. But watch then in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
INVITATION:
I will like to use this forum to inform all of you who are willing to be groomed for the LORD to know that our admission forms will soon be available. You can obtain one for yourself or someone needing this kind of training when it is available. The tuition is free! We are waiting to receive you!
CONCLUSION:
We desire your prayers so much for this work and for those who labour in this institute. I commend you into the hands of the one who is able to preserve your spirit, soul and body blameless until that day. We appreciate your coming, patience and gifts, may God remember you for good.
Thank you for listening, God bless you.
RECTOR’S ADDRESS
DELIVERD BY PASTOR MOSES ADELEKE ADENEYE AT THE 3RD GRADUATION & 4TH MATRICULATION SERVICES OF GROUND OF TRUTH BIBLE INSTITUTE, OGBOMOSO SATELITE CAMPUS, OGBOMOSO.
December 5, 2009.
The Guest Speaker,
Distinguished Servants of God,
The Board of studies,
Tutors of G.T.B.I.,
Fellow Labourers,
Members of the Old Students Association,
Graduating Students,
Matriculating Students,
Beloved Brothers and Sisters.
APPRECIATION
My appreciation goes first and foremost to the almighty God, who has been our succour this far. If not for Him, we would not have been able to do anything. God stood true to all the promises He made at the beginning of this journey. May His holy name be praised. Amen.
I specially appreciate all the Tutors of the Institute, who travel every week to take lectures and care for the soul of our students. These men are truly sent of God; their involvement has been with great understanding and has brought great success to this work. God bless you real good.
I must say a big thank you to the fathers in Ogbomoso, in persons of Rev. M.A. Adewuyi, Evang. B. O Aremu and Elder John Ige. They have actually defended the course of this work. God will perfect all that pertains to you.
The old Students have become an encouragement to us, great number of them have not deserted us. Their presence and attention has brought God and this Institute a huge success. May you forever be relevant in the programme of God. Amen.
The Apostolic Church Akata, Ogbomoso has played host to our graduation three times now. You have displayed Bible unity that we long for in the body of Christ. May God continue to move the church forward.
Finally, let me say thank you to the authority of Christ Revelation Church for permitting us to use their auditorium for a monthly night vigil and yearly Covenant Day. God bless you sirs.
OUR GOAL IN THIS LAND
The moment we noticed the readiness of God to bring us to this land, we have trusted Him to bring the need of the land to our understanding. Just like in every other land, God’s instrument in bringing deliverance to any land are men, who possess the word of God and can handle it correctly especially by their lifestyle. The Lord has enlightened our understanding to see the need to intensify our effort in teaching the true undiluted word of God.
A. We discovered a lot of things that do not agree with the Bible in many churches in this town, since three years ago that God has brought us here. It is important for me to strike it again that you graduating students must not walk in such errors. If God could see Lot in spite of the decadence of Sodom
B. The devil has attacked us, through many threats, hostility and occasionally through motor traffic accidents- but God has kept us above all, we are persuaded He will yet be there for us.
C. We practically and sincerely covet your prayers. Please, note these areas of prayers attention:
1. Open of heaven for His word;
2. Boldness to bring forth God’s word without fear;
3. God to soften the hearts of the indigenes and settlers in this town;
4. God to build a permanent campus for us on a two plot of land, which we are even trusting God to balance up the payment;
5. Journey mercies each time we travel to Ogbomoso and
6. Finally, that our products in this town will be able to uphold and stand by the truth they have learnt, such that they can labour for revival.
CHARGE TO THE GRADUATING STUDENTS
I charge you not forget the teachings which you have received from us during your stay with us:
1. We taught you about your relationship with God, which is above all things. Do not get so busy with the work to the point of neglecting the Owner of the work.
2. We taught you also about your home as bedrock for sustainable and healthy ministry, a homeless minister is a lifeless minister!
3. We taught you on how to stand for the truth, even when you are opposed or alone.
4. We taught you not to disobey the constituted authority over you in your local church.
5. We taught you not to respect man and disobey God.
Remember the book of Malachi 2:7 that emphasize the duties of a priest. E.g. “For it is right for the priest's lips to keep knowledge, and for men to be waiting for the law from his mouth: for he is the servant sent from the Lord of armies.” Mal 2:7 (BBE) You must stand in the will of God that we’ve taught you, it is then that people from your church and environment will touch God through your life and teaching. The only mark of a man that is sent from the Lord of host is to possess lips that keep knowledge. Because of this, you must make your lips flow with the knowledge of God, which cannot be except the knowledge of God is in your heart.
I charge you all to be examples of the believers in faith, in love, in purity, steadfastly preaching the same gospel, which the saints of old committed to us as found in the Word of God.
BELOVED OLD STUDENTS
The only way to remain in the truth that you have learned is not to be far from the brethren, especially those through whom you have received the same encounter. It is for this need that we are compelled to inaugurate the Old Students Association.
Therefore, today is witnessing the inauguration of Old Students Association (ALLUMNI) in Ogbomoso land; under the supervision and coordination of Pastor Oyedele Thomas and to be supported by Bro. Kayode Agboola, Bro. Isaac Ayandare Ayanleke and others.
Therefore, I inaugurate the Old Students Association today 5th December, 2009 in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
GENERAL INVITATION AND NOTICES
a. Admission form for the Advanced Christian Leadership course (100 level) is already out and the lecture will start on Friday 15th January, 2010.
b. Also the admission form for Basic Ministerial Training will be available from 1st Feb. 2010.
You cannot be a correct priest without having the knowledge of God, if you want to serve God in an acceptable way, then come and enroll now.
CONCLUSION
To everyone in attendance; permit me to remind you that Jesus is coming soon. Let us live our lives with the understanding that we have no continuing city here. Beloved brethren and, I charge you to be prepared and God will keep you rapturable. Amen.
Thanks for listening and God bless you. Amen

DELIVERED BY PAASTOR MOSES ADELEKE ADENEYE AT THE
5TH GRADUATION AND 6TH
MATRICULATION SERVICES OF GROUND

3RD DEC. 2011

Tutors of G.T.B.I.,
Fellow Labourers,
Members: Old
Students Association
Graduating Students,
Matriculating Students,
Beloved Brothers and Sisters.
APPRECIATION
My appreciation
goes first and foremost to the almighty God who has been our succour this far.
It gives me great joy today to look back Six years ago, when this work started
as a small mustard seed and to see how far the Lord has taken it now and also
to look ahead to where the LORD is taking it, in the future. I must confess to
you that the Lord has been our stay; He has been our help, our Rock and
fortress.
I sincerely acknowledge God’s mercy and
protection over us in these past years. Do I need to count how many times God
delivered us from untimely deaths, which motor accidents would have caused, as
we travelled to fulfill this divine mandate on our lives, especially as this
Ogbomoso Campus demands that we will often be in journey. By the grace of God
we can boldly say that Ogbomoso work has come to stay and fire extinguishers
will not be able to quench it.
Permit me to
also appreciate the Tutors, who have been labouring selflessly with me both in the classrooms and
at the place of prayer, over this great
work in our hands. It is very very obvious that the Lord sent you to be a help
in this divine labour and the same God, whom you have served all these years,
will not forget your labours of love.
I must say a
big thanks to the fathers here in Ogbomoso, in persons of Rev. M. A. Adewuyi, Evangelist B.O. Aremu, and
Elder John Ige. May God continue to move the church and God’s work in your
hand forward.
How can I
forget the old students who have come to see this work as part of them, who,
despite the fact that they are no longer our regular students, still find it
necessary to be around us, I say God bless you.
Let me finally
appreciate the District Pastor, Assembly Pastor and entire members of this
church THE APOSTOLIC CHURCH Akata, Ogbomoso for granting us permission to use
their facilities this year again, it is our prayer that God will bless you and
grant you accommodation in His coming kingdom.
THE REASON HE SENT US
I will like to
inform you that the only reason we were sent to this town is to show Jesus to the
good people of this great and ancient city. This is what we have been doing not
only in the classroom, but with our own lives. In other to fulfill this
mandate, we allow our students to be exposed to all the truth we know in the
word of God
.
OUR REQUEST FROM YOU PEOPLE OF GOD
We practically and sincerely covet your prayers,
please pray for us that Christ may be seen in us the more and that God will
open heaven upon us so that we will fulfill our mandate with boldness and
without fear.
By the grace of
God, we still have other department that we cannot yet implement because we
don’t have our own building facility,
therefore we need God to build a permanent campus for us on a two plot of land
which God had given to us.
Finally please
pray for us that the lives of our students will portrait the Lord Jesus,
because we don’t have a means of advertizing this Institute rather than the
lives of our students.
CHARGE TO THE GRADUATING STUDENTS
My dearly
beloved Student, as you are going, do not forget all you have been taught in
the classroom and by our lives, you are our epistles that the people of
Ogbomoso and it’s environs will be
reading, please live a life that commensurable
to the ideal of Christ and do not receive the grace of God in vain.
As we lean in 2Cor. 6: 1-4. Do not do anything that
will tarnish the image of this great college, and much more than that do not grieve
the Spirit of God in you. Always remember that the eyes of God are on you even
when we are not there.
We return you
to your churches who permit you to come, be a good ambassador of Jesus and of
this Institute there, graduating from Bible Institution in not the same with
graduating from Bible, do not scatter the church of God. So as you are going
let your lips flow with the knowledge of God.
IN CONCLUSION
Finally
brethren, do you know that the Admission Forms are still available? You can
enroll today and take off the fear of ignorance from your life and face the
work God has called you into with an understanding that comes from seasoned
training, which is available for you at Ground of Truth Bible Institute.
To you that are
still enjoying sin, that enjoyment will soon come to end and you will face the
consequence in hell fire, but you can obtain the unlimited grace today by given
your life to Jesus today, because all signs show that Jesus will soon come
back.
Thank you for
listening and God bless you all. (Amen)

IBADAN. MAY 5TH, 2012.

Distinguished Servants of God,
The Board of studies,
Tutors of G.T.B.I.,
Fellow Labourers,
Members of the Old Students Association,
Graduating Students,
Matriculating Students,
Beloved Brothers and Sisters.
APPRECIATION
My appreciation goes first and foremost to the almighty God, who has
been our succour this far. If not for Him, we would not have been able to do
anything. God stood true to all the promises He made at the beginning of this
journey. May His holy name be praised. Amen.
I would like to
thank all the good people whom the Lord has given us and who have been
supporting us in various ways, may the Lord
bless you all.
I specially appreciate all the Tutors of the Institute, Tutors
who laboured tirelessly with me this Session, they travelled almost every week to our Satellite Campus in Ogbomoso to
take lectures and care for the souls of our students. These men are truly sent
of God; their involvement has been with great understanding and has brought
great success to this work. God bless you real good.
I
want to particularly appreciate all the wives and the children of our Tutors, beginning
with my wife, Sister Esther Oluwatoyin Adeneye. These women are the epitome of
the virtuous women we read and studied in the Bible, on behave of this Institute, we say a big
thank you and I pray that JEHOVAH will not forget all your
labours of love.
I must also appreciate the Pastors and all the
members of this Church, who owns the building facilities that we are presently
using for this graduation. This is nothing but the love of God in real
demonstration, I pray that the Lord God will continue to work with you in this
assignment , establish and increase you on every side in Jesus’ name.
This appreciation will not be completed without acknowledging all
the Pastors over the Churches where we sent our Diploma students for their mandated Ministerial Attachment, you
have actually worked with God. Our prayer is that you will not labour in vain
in Jesus’ name.
How can I forget the brethren who do follow us to Mission
Outreaches, and that do support us financially; people of God from Highways
Sanctuary, SAFINGOD, Medical Lab Department of Ogun State College of Health and
Technology Ijebu Ilese led by Bro. Rotimi Sowemimo, Saved Soul Bible Church,
our Bro. Timothy Idowu, Mathew Olatunde and host of others that will be too
many for me to mention. We pray that the Lord will remember you in His coming
Kingdom.
Finally, let me say thank you to the outgoing Student Union Executives,
they have brought new light to our campus site at Aba Ode as GOD helped them to
execute the plan survey this year. May you forever be relevant in the programme
of God. Amen.
THE JORNEY SO FAR
This work started sixteen years ago with God alone. The future
appeared as though in a total darkness, there was nothing on
ground that could serve as an encouragement to move on, but thank God for good brethren
who identified the mind of God in the
mist of the confusion.
The moment we noticed the readiness of God to use us for the revival of
the Church, we deny and sacrifice our comfort and right, at the altar of becoming like Jesus and
showing Biblical pattern of ministry to the church. We have the understanding
that God’s instrument in bringing deliverance to any land are men, who possess
the word of God and can handle it correctly, especially by their lifestyle.
The Lord has enlightened our understanding to see the need to intensify
our effort in teaching the true and undiluted word of God. Therefore, we have
resolved in our hearts to pour all our lives into this assignment while it is
day, because night will soon come when no one will be able to work.
CHARGE TO THE GRADUATING STUDENTS
I charge you not forget the teachings which you have received from us
during your stay with us:
1. We taught you about your relationship with God,
which is above all things. Do not get too busy with the work to the point of
neglecting the Owner of the work.
2. We taught you also about your home as the bedrock
for sustainable and healthy ministry; a homeless minister is a lifeless
minister!
3. We taught you on how to stand for the truth, even
when you are being persecuted, deserted
and left alone.
4. We taught
you not to disobey the constituted authority over you in your local Churches.
5. We taught you not to respect man to the essence of disobeying God.
6. It is expedient for us to
release you to your Churches, start to
labour and show forth the life and teachings of Jesus Christ you have learned,
so, this is what we have simply come here to do.
Remember the children of Rechab, they remembered the last words of their
father and they did not look at the greatness and heavy anointing of Prophet Jeremiah.
The book of Malachi 2:7 emphasizes the duties of a priest. e.g. “For it
is right for the priest's lips to keep knowledge, and for men to be waiting for
the law from his mouth: for he is the servant sent from the Lord of armies.”
Mal. 2:7 (BBE) You must stand in the will of God that we’ve taught you, it is
then that the people from your church and environment will touch God through
your life and teaching.
The only mark of a man that is sent from the Lord of host is to possess
lips that keep knowledge. Because of this, you must make your lips flow with
the knowledge of God, which cannot be, except the knowledge of God is in your
heart.
I charge you all to be examples of the believers in faith, in love, in
purity, steadfastly preaching the same gospel, which the saints of old
committed to us as found in the Word of God.
BELOVED OLD STUDENTS
The only way to remain in the truth that you have learned is to come close
to the brethren, especially with those you have received the same encounter. We want
to be seeing you during our mission out-reaches and other programmes. We have
established Old Students Retreat in Ogbomoso, our Satellite Campus. The
meeting holds once every year. I think you can also borrow a
leaf from this idea.
GENERAL INVITATION AND NOTICES
a. Admission form for the Advanced Christian
Leadership course (100 level) and Christ Armour Bearing (Deliverance) are
already available and the lecture will start on next week Saturday, 12th
May 2012, by the grace of God.
b. Also, the admission form for Basic Ministerial
Training programme will be available from 1st of August 2012.
You cannot be a correct priest without having the knowledge of God, if
you want to serve God in an acceptable way, then come and enrol now.
CONCLUSION
To everyone in attendance; permit me to remind you that Jesus is coming
soon and we must do the work of Him that sent us while it is yet day, for night
cometh when nobody will be able to work. Do not forget that you cannot remain the
same forever, you are growing older every day and there yet remains land before
you that are still unconquered,
I therefore charge you to lift up
your eyes and see that the field is white and ripe for harvest, whether you
like it or not, night will come and you will not be able to work again. God
will keep you fit for the rapture. Amen.
Thanks for listening and God bless you. Amen
