The Vision
ADONAI meaning
Master is a reminder of the Lordship of JESUS CHRIST. The
vision of ADONAI convention was given to the General Pastor
of the Glory Tabernacle Ministry Dr. U. Obed by God. God
laid in his heart the need for a yearly convention for men
to enable them come together to learn and share issues that
would make them more focused on the Master. ADONAI convention
seeks to unite men in our various Ministries into a formidable
force in the body of Christ.
The Purpose
The purpose
of ADONAI Convention is to continually cause the attention
of men to be focused on our Lord Jesus Christ. Sometimes
men tend to focus on earthly things rather than on the Master.
If we had ever yielded unto Him we need to cling unto Him
to the end as the author and finisher of our faith.
The Objectives
- To bring out the 'real man' in men because
real men follow Jesus
- To perfect men
- To make men stand as pillars in the house
of God
- To make men effective priests, providers
and protectors in their homes
- To make men to be effective God's change-agents
in this end time.
Adonai Convention So Far...

Amotsuka (Koinonia Ministry), Rev. Sola Kolade (Vine Branch),
Dr. U. Obed and a breakfast meeting with Dr. (Mrs) C. Obed
(Glory Tabernacle Ministry). Several churches and Ministers
attended the sessions.

AND BUILD was held. Pastor S.A. Adegboyega, of SPAC, Rev.(Dr.)
I.D. Lawon of Fullstature Missions, Kunle Ajayi and Dr.
U. Obed among others ministered during the convention. Also,
special features such as film show, Breakfast Outreach and
Health Seminar were included. Thirteen Men's Fellowship
from churches within Ibadan were actively involved in the
planning of the 2003 convention with many Churches in attendance.
In three
years of ADONAI convention, men who have attended the convention
have spoken of how God has used the annual meeting to bring
about changes in diverse areas of their lives. The song
ministrations, messages, film-shows and the breakfast meetings
through the power of the Holy Spirit teach new things to
the men. The breakfast meeting has become an outreach experience
of knowing him.
This year's
convention with the theme; CLOUD OF GLORY was a four-day
programme that God used to start a new move among men in
Ibadan city. Several churches in Ibadan joined with Glory
Men's Team to plan this year's convention.
