Abstract
The Methodist Church Nigeria’s ministers in the Dioceses of Remoland, Ogun State Nigeria play significant roles as good shepherds. Through their leadership and guidance, they provide care and nurturing for the members of their congregation. They demonstrate compassion, empathy, and wisdom as they guide their flock towards spiritual growth and development. These ministers also serve as role models for their community, upholding moral values and setting an example of virtuous living. They actively participate in community outreach programmes and through their dedication and service, they positively impact the lives of individuals and families. Additionally, the ministers work tirelessly to foster unity and harmony within the church and the larger community. Through their diligent efforts, the Methodist Church Nigeria continues to thrive and serve as a beacon of hope and faith in the Dioceses of Remoland. The good shepherds of the Methodist Church Nigeria in the Dioceses of Remoland, Ogun State Nigeria play a crucial role in the growth and success of their congregation and community. The ministers do pray fervently to checkmate or ward-off the prevailing Churches. Indeed, prayers constitute the hallmark of MCN’s ministers. Ditto, evangelism is prioritized. This is to ensure that the lost souls are found, such that they would not end up in perdition. Couples who are at logger-heads occasioned by one umbroglio or the other, and have even vowed to call it quit are amicably settled. Visitation is considered as significant in the Dioceses of Remo. It is even considered as a sine qua non, as those who are visited feel quite important, since they are recognized. This is even much pronounced among proselytes. Counseling of those in trauma is carried out diligently, for necessary encouragement. This would obviously lift them out of their state of despondence.
