The leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele is set to hold the third edition of his palliative market initiative and planting of a new church auditorium in Ekiti on Saturday 26th of April, 2024.
This, according to the cleric, is to further reduce the impact of economic hardship on the people of Ekiti and to also spread the gospel of Jesus Christ by showing love to the needy and providing for the poor without allowing distance to cause a barrier.
Primate Ayodele explained that the palliative market will be a replica of the ones he did in November 2023 and February 2024 at his Lagos church where he crashed the prices of food items ridiculously.
The prophet sold a bag of rice for N20,000, beans for N5,000, big tubers of yam for N1,500, cassava flakes for N1,500, a carton of indomie for N1,500, to mention a few.
Apart from the palliative market initiative, the man of God made it known that he would be empowering women with work materials like sewing machines, grinding machines, and several others.
Speaking about the new church auditorium, Primate Ayodele revealed that the motive isn’t just to have a spread nationwide but to create a means for spiritual and physical empowerment for people. He asserted that it has been a culture for him not to receive tithes in his churches and the planting of another church isn’t for him to make money but an avenue for him to reach the needy.
‘’My decision to hold another palliative market initiative is to further reduce the impact of economic hardship on the people. The country is going through a lot and the people are suffering because of the economic problems the country is facing. It is impossible for the government to solve this problem anytime soon and in order to keep the people hopeful, I birthed the palliative market initiative.
‘’We will crash the prices of food items and make it affordable for indigenes of Ekiti, we have done two editions in Lagos state but because other people in the country also need help and according to the leading of God, we decided to come to Ekiti.
‘’Apart from the palliative market, I will be empowering widows and the downtrodden with materials that can elevate them from the state of being needy. I have been doing it for several years and will continue to do it as God helps me.
‘’The new church auditorium in Ekiti isn’t an avenue to make money but realistically, an avenue to spend more money. In our churches in Lagos, we spend tithes and offerings on human capacity development initiatives like scholarships, empowerment with tricycles, grinding machines, sewing machines, and our Ekiti branch will definitely not be an exception.’’
