Just When Presiding Bishop Joe Imakando was about to invite Pastor Adeboye to the pulpit a storm arose from nowhere and blowing a lot of water and hail in the auditorium causing piece of ceiling which struck one of the congregants. But this did not stop the proceedings as few minutes later the service continued.
When Pastor Adeboye finally took to the pulpit he acknowledged God and declared His presence in the building evidenced by the unusual storm. After he preached, he prayed and dedicated the building to the Lord, he prophesied and declared supernatural increase.
