Pastor Simeon Afolabi is the Serving overseer of the Firstlove Assembly. The Church which now has a couple of churches in its network was set up on November 1, 1998 in Portharcourt. Among other things, it was to pursue a life-long passion for revival and restoration. One anchor scripture that has served as a beacon is Isaiah 42:22. “But this is a people robbed and plundered; All of them are snared in holes, And they are hidden in prison houses; They are for prey, and no one delivers; For plunder, and no one says, “Restore!” After the Holy Spirit engraved this word upon his spirit, he pledged himself to cry “restore” on behalf of God’s people. Another passage is Jude 3. “Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.” It has always been his passion to see Christianity practiced exactly the way it was handed down over 2000 years ago.
