“In Celestial Church of Christ, the celebration of Harvest festival on an annual basis is both for the Juvenile and Adult separately is highly recognised and given prominent recognition.

“It involves all and sundry to participate at different level depending on the capacity and membership strength of the parish. However, the basic ingredient of the anniversary if to give thanksgiving to the Lord Almighty during a glorious Sunday Service with sharing of food and drinks to all visitors and or residents in and around the church premises.

“We should not lose sight of the requirement from all membership to contribute to the celebration according the blessing of God on individual family or members. This is with a reference to Cain and Abel as well as El-kanah, Hannah and Peninnah.

“The stories cited above should make everyone be careful of the role being played in the church during the harvest celebrations. At different times too, it was written about king David too, how he reverenced God during harvest celebrations.

“Therefore, it has become an unquestionable activity in Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide to organise and celebrate joyfully the annual Juvenile and Adult Harvest anniversary and it is the best time to work and be patient enough to seek God’s face and receive the most positive response on any long unanswered prayer request(s) like Hanna did.
