Rev. Father Adebanjo, culling the text of the sermon from the book of Mathew, Chapter 25, verse 1-3, enjoined the congregation to take a cue from the five wise virgins who took along oil in their vessels with their lamps while equally charging them to be watchful, ” For ye know neither the day nor hour wherein the son of man cometh .”
