The 2025 Feast of Tabernacles in Nigeria was held at Zenababs Half Moon Holiday Resort, situated in Ilesha, Osun State. The site provided a peaceful, scenic and family-friendly environment conducive for worship, reflection and fellowship. Surrounded by rolling hills, cool weather and lush greenery, it offered a refreshing setting for spiritual renewal and joyful celebration before God.

A total of 110 brethren attended this year’s Feast, coming from the Lagos, Owerri and Benin congregations, as well as outlying areas. The brethren gathered in unity and joy to celebrate this appointed time before our Creator. We were also privileged to have Paul Moody, our visiting Senior Pastor, join us for the celebration.

Throughout the week, daily worship services, Bible studies, festival school and discussions strengthened the brethren’s faith and deepened their understanding of God’s plan and purpose for humanity.

In addition to the inspiring messages, several activities promoted unity, learning and wholesome fun among members. Highlights included the women’s enrichment retreat, boat rides, swimming, games, a talent show, and a lively movie night with pepper soup—a favorite among attendees!

Members expressed heartfelt gratitude, excitement and spiritual joy, noting that the Feast provided a true foretaste of the Kingdom of God. The messages, music and fellowship left a lasting impression, inspiring renewed zeal and stronger bonds of unity among the brethren.

The Eighth Day service beautifully concluded the festival, reminding everyone of the hope of eternal life offered to all humanity—a fitting close to an uplifting and spiritually fulfilling Feast. We give thanks to God Almighty for His blessings, protection and presence throughout the Feast.

Special appreciation goes to Mr. Moody for his guidance and encouragement, to the organizing committee and volunteers for their tireless dedication, and to all the brethren whose warmth and cooperation made this Feast a success.

The 2025 Feast of Tabernacles was truly a time of joy, unity and spiritual refreshment. As we look forward to the coming Holy Days, may God continue to strengthen His people, bless the work of His Church, and keep us all in health and faith until we gather again.
