BRIEF HISTORY OF KABUSA LCC
BRIEF HISTORY OF KABUSA LCC SINCE INCEPTION
It is evident, however, that the Hebrew people were a commemorative race; in other words, they were given to creating and presenting memorials of important events. Even in the patriarchal times we find monuments set up in order to commemorate eventsof Jacob (Gen 28:18) "set up a pillar" to perpetuate the memory of the divine promise; and that these monuments had a religious importance and sanction appears from the statement that "he poured oil upon the top of the pillar" (Gen 31:45; Josh 4:9; 1 Sam 7:12; Judg 9:6). Long-lived trees, such as Oaks and Terebinths were made use of as remembrance (Gen 35:4; Josh 24:26). Commemorative names, also, were given to persons, places, and things; and from the earliest periods it was usual to substitute a new and descriptive name for an old one, which may in its origin have been descriptive too (Ex 2; 10; Gen 2:1; 23; 4:1). Genealogical tables appear, moreover, to have had a very early existence among the people of whom the Bible speaks, being carefully preserved first memories, afterwards by writing, among family treasures, and thus transmitted from age to age.
To this ends, Kabusa LCC commemorates 22 years anniversary of Gods’ faithfulness in His master’s plans of redemption history of Kabusa people and environs who were ones walking in darkness, but the great light of gospel has shown the darkness, and the darkness could not behold it any longer. So, this is how the history of Kabusa LCC all began.
The history of Kabusa LCC will not be complete without first of all stating how the gospel entered Kabusa region. There are about three people who opened this society with the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. They are Rev.Yepwi Idakwo, Mallam Yusufu Akawu and Mr. MusaTadushekwo. It is believed that Mr. KpowuIyah was the first convert in Kabusa region, it was held that he was converted in the year 1938. Shortly some people joined him as they accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and saviour. They include: Mr. Ashafiyi Bawa, Mr. Koche Iyah and Mr. Dogo Jabiyisnalo. The converts started their meeting in “Dugwe” (entrance hall of a house). This gradually developed as they increased in number till it became a Local Church Board (LCB) under Pyakasa Local Church Council (LCC) in then Abuja DCC,

Also as the Lord opened the door of service to Apostle Paul in Troas (II Cor. 2:12), the entrance of the gospel of Jesus Christ in Kabusa has giving great opportunities for many Pastors to serve in Kabusa LCC. And also, the Lord has rised from Kabusa Sons and daughters to serve as Pastors and in different services such that one of Kabusa industrious sons Rev. Lambe Bawa before his retirement served as the First Abuja DCC Chairman and even rose to the rank of Director of Education in ECWA.
