*Birthday Felicitation to Our Father in the Lord*

Dear Brethren,

Today, we celebrate our Father in the Lord, the Primate of our Great Mission, Most Rev. Dr. Sunday Oludare Matilukuro, on the occasion of his birthday.

On behalf of the House of Clergy, the Office of the Lay President, the Christian Mothers Association, the Men Christian Association, the Youth Fellowship, and the entire members of our Great Mission, we sincerely wish Your Eminence a happy birthday and express our profound appreciation for all you have done for the growth and progress of our Mission.

Your Eminence, you are a visionary and God-sent leader. Through your dedication, commitment, and exemplary leadership, our Mission has witnessed remarkable growth and transformation.

We have all seen your outstanding achievements during the past nine years and several months of your Primatial administration. Under your leadership, the Mission has been restored to greater heights. Among your numerous accomplishments are the re-registration of the Mission with the ecumenical bodies to which we belong, the establishment of a Prayer City where members can gather to seek God's face, the construction of a befitting Primate's Palace, and the revitalization of Bishop Jones Theological Institute, among many other notable achievements.

As you celebrate another year today, we pray that Almighty God, who called you into His vineyard, will continue to strengthen and uphold you. May He grant you good health, divine wisdom, greater grace, and many more fruitful years in His service. May you continue to move from glory to glory. No weapon fashioned against you shall prosper, and the Lord's presence, protection, and favor shall never depart from you and your household, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Your Eminence, Most Rev. Dr. Sunday Oludare Matilukuro, JP, we once again wish you a very happy birthday. Thank you for your selfless service, dedication, and unwavering commitment to the advancement of our Great Mission.

Below is the response of Theophilus Adegboye on the question, if TFACM and the African Church are the same?

No, they are not the same. While The First African Church Mission was founded in 1891 by 9 people from different denominations with the name 'United Native African Church (UNA). The name was latter changed to 'The First African Church Mission sometimes in the 1980s. The African Church on the other hand was a splinter group of 600 people from the Anglican Church in the year 1901. Both have their headquarters on Broad Street of Lagos Island, Lagos State.

Answer by Safaratu to the question if The First African Church mission is the same as the African Church? Read below:

The main difference between The First African Church Mission and The African Church is in their history, year of establishment, and origin, although both are African-founded churches in Nigeria.

First African Church Mission African Church

Founded in 1891 Founded in 1901
Originally called United Native African Church (UNAC) Formed after disagreement with Anglican missionaries
Founded by a group known as the Immortal Nine to create a church governed by Africans Founded by Africans led by people like Jacob Kehinde Coker after protest against European control in Anglican worship
Focused on evangelizing Africans and self-governance Kept many Anglican traditions in worship and structure

The First African Church Mission started earlier and was created mainly so Africans could have a church managed by Africans without foreign control.

The African Church came later in 1901 after some Africans separated from the Anglican Church because of disagreements over leadership and worship style. It still follows many Anglican traditions such as baptism, holy communion, and church structure.

In simple words: First African Church Mission came first (1891) and was founded as an independent African church, while African Church started later (1901) after separating from the Anglican Church.

There was an important question asked in our group "the first African Church mission international forum group" by Ezekiel and the person who did best justice to the question is Safaratu followed by Theophilus Adegboye and the question is, "Is The First African Church mission and the American Church the same? The response or answers will come as a Post with the primate's picture.

*"Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me ".* Ps. 27:7 (KJV)

As you move in this month of June, I declare concerning you:

* The mercy of God shall locate you and your voice shall be heard by God in the name of Jesus Christ.

* The Most High God shall speedily hearken to your petitions in the name of Jesus Christ.

* Henceforth, you will no longer labour in vain in the name of Jesus Christ.

* Your enemies shall from this month not be able to stand before you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

* I cover your entirety with the blood of Jesus Christ and His blood shall avail for you throughout this month and beyond in Jesus' mighty name.

Welcome to the Sixth Month, your month of SUPERNATURAL LIFTING, in the name of Jesus Christ.
