"By inspiration, I would like to give us a background of how this came about. It is not the initiative of a man but a directive by God to redirect the heart of his people to him.

"No man can carry out a function except God directs him. Only God can execute his initiative, I can't initiate it and therefore I cannot execute it.

"If you claim to own a thing or initiate a thing, you have to be prepared to execute it."

Speaking further, Bishop Abioye maintained:

"I want to clearly say, therefore, this is not Bishop Abioye's platform. It is God's ordained platform to turn our hearts back to him. It is not an idea, it is not a "let's get busy to do something". It is a clear word from the lord to Hold this Hour of Revival because somebody needs it and that person begins with me.
