Lagos Communities Experience the Joy of Love at Christmas
Hundreds of individuals and families across Lagos experienced the joy of giving this Christmas as Daystar Christian Centre reached out with free food items and support through its annual Love at Christmas outreach. The initiative, which reflects the church’s deep commitment to compassion and community impact, took place on Sunday, December 21, 2025, across all Daystar worship centres in Lagos – Ikorodu, Ikeja, Lekki, Alimosho, and Badagry.
Speaking on the culture of love that defines the church, Deputy Senior Pastor Nike Adeyemi emphasized that love must always be intentional and proactive. “Our message has always been that love must be proactive. Every human being is important to God and to us as a church, and Love at Christmas is one of the ways we live out this conviction,” she said.
At Daystar Christian Centre, the Love at Christmas outreach is not a one-off event but an expression of a broader culture of care. Through the church’s Benevolence Unit, food and medical support are provided monthly to individuals and families in need. The Christmas outreach serves as a culmination of these year-long efforts, extending help and hope to hundreds of beneficiaries across Lagos.
The season’s celebration was further enriched by Daystar’s annual Christmas Concert, a vibrant blend of worship, music, performing arts, and a timely message from Senior Pastor Sam Adeyemi. His message called for reflection and a renewed response to God’s love in a world marked by uncertainty.
“In times of uncertainty, what humanity needs most is direction,” Pastor Adeyemi noted. “God remains the ultimate leader and judge, ruling not with oppression, but with love and justice. No matter how broken the world may seem, His authority is compassionate, and His love is always calling us back.”
The impact of the outreach was deeply felt by recipients. One beneficiary, Mrs. Margaret Olagbaju, expressed heartfelt gratitude, “This kind of love is not something I take for granted. Daystar has consistently shown us that we are valued and remembered. I pray that the church continues to grow and touch more lives.”
As the year draws to a close, Daystar Christian Centre has announced its New Year’s Eve Service, scheduled for Thursday, December 31, 2025, from 6p.m. to 9p.m. (GMT+1). The service will be a time of worship, the Word, and prophetic ministrations, an opportunity to give thanks for the year past and receive prayer and direction for the year ahead.
The crossover service will be held across all Daystar worship centres in Lagos and will also be streamed live on the church’s official social media platforms. Everyone is invited to attend.
