Daughters of Destiny Marks 20th Anniversary with Divine Acceleration

Mary Nnah

Twenty years ago, the wife of General Overseer of LoveBase Assembly, Festac Town, Lagos, Rev. (Mrs.) Ruth Iwunze, was divinely instructed to raise women that will do exploits in the Kingdom work.

This led her to establishing Daughters of Destiny, a group made up of Christian women who impact on one another physically, spiritually, morally and financially.

Given how tough it was when it started, as the group marks 20 years with a colourful celebration to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the annual women convention, the founder, Rev Ruth expressed profound gratitude to God for His faithfulness and for sustaining the group all along.

Billed to start from Thursday, November 25 to Sunday 28, at the main auditorium of the church, highlights of the event include a road walk followed by a cervical screening, distribution of food items to the needy and so on.

During a briefing to intimate journalists on the forthcoming event, the lady cleric said: “When we started it was a humble beginning, we started from just six women but God kept increasing us every day.

“Looking back at everything, we have cause to appreciate God. 20 years is not easy at all,” she recalled.

She recalled further that Daughters of Destiny started a year after the church (LoveBase Assembly) started, adding, “God has been faithful. My marriage is stable and I’m enjoying a beautiful home, I have peace in my home, I have two lovely children that give me joy. It is God all the way”.

Speaking on the theme for the forthcoming anniversary, Iwunze said, “Divine Acceleration is divine speed. God has accelerated our growth and has helped us to stand.

“The theme of the convention is Divine Acceleration. Divine Acceleration is divine speed. I needed women that God has also granted divine speed in their lives. So I believe that God wants to grant us divine acceleration through these women.”
