What COZA Did To Me – Yvonne Chuks
“At the call of the alarm in the usual 400hrs of the morning, total sensitivity was restored and I was up; engaged in my morning prayers, checked my e-mail and organised my day, ‘Good to go!’ I began. It was a morning flight, so, we headed for the airport.
“All passengers boarding Arikair 5N-BKW Dash 8-400 to Abuja to please proceed for boarding,” a voice echoed. We left for the aircraft, began the journey, landed safely in Abuja, The Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria and made our way to the scheduled meeting for the day.
“I have had so much about COZA services, added my voice to the issue The Federal High Court sitting in Bwari, under Justice Oathman Musa ended. This time, I am in Abuja and it is Sunday; it is my opportunity to be LIVE in COZA. Yes, COZA! Pastored by the ever dazzling Rev. Biodun Fatoyinbo. Much more than I have heard, I know that it sticks longer what you experienced than told.
“COZA is an Embassy, a nation and a world all together. Besides the external environment littered with inscriptions pointing you to the auditorium seated at the Guzape Hill, security men who are well positioned, my first point of attraction was the greeters at the entrance of the Church. They were carefully selected young men and ladies with classy outfit that excellently match the beauty of the environment.
“We were warmly welcomed and led to a special section in the auditorium, ready to capture all that my mind and pen could.
“Entering the auditorium was like entering a Cinema, as the magnificent LED Screens with colourful light-mix, beaming with life and church workers on their guard, driving order, preparing everyone for an electrifying experience; the sitting arrangement was deliberate and exhibited such a myriad of excellence.
“Contrary to what I am used to that church services start with opening prayers, COZA service began with Praise and Worship; it is hinged on the scriptural principle in Psalms 100:4, “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise…”
“The atmosphere was invigorating, the voices were angelic, the rhythmic flow was topnotch with lots of dynamism – a great musicianship there. Every event in the service has its uniqueness.

The Gratitude
“We were led into a session of thanksgiving, prayers, and faith-filled declarations, powerful words that gives you a feeling of purpose, direction, and hope. Beyond “Image,” Mrs. Biodun Fatoyinbo [Pastor Mo, as they call her] is a powerful and influential voice behind the Mic and the “Man.” COZA is World in a WORLD.
“I have seen choirs, but I saw a choir. I have seen musical groups, but I saw a musical group. I understood that AVALANCHE is the name of COZA choir; as awesome as they appeared and performed, I was stupefied at the performance of THE GRATITUDE; they are a team of selected young talents from another world. It is as if they sleep, walk, breath and talk music.
“It’s time for the word. It was my first time of seeing Rev. Biodun Fatoyinbo Live; a very good looking clean man, NBA qualified height with a well-tailored outfit; he is not just a good-looking clean man, he is good looking and clean in delivering the word of God; his eloquence is epic.
“He sang common songs but you’d wonder if they are the same songs you knew.
“You know a strong leader by his results. Rev. Biodun Fatoyinbo is a strong leader. The COZA auditorium is enclosed, yet they are able to manage stench effectively; a lot of bodies in an enclosed atmosphere yet no stench? Minds are really at work. A leader is in place.
“Every department that makes up the labour force (workforce, as they call it), was up and doing, most especially the protocol, they bear the physical outlook of professional Secret Service Operatives, well-kitted and orderly in the discharge of their duties.
“You don’t worry about security.while sitting in COZA’s auditorium. Also, you can not get lost because at every point, you are well directed.
“Was this what the enemy wanted to destroy?” A question that kept poppoing my mind as I observed the unfolding of events in the service. A Colossal loss it would have been for the body of Christ; this is no sentiment, but reality.
“It became clear to me what my dad told me: “Only those who have not built anything fight those who have.” COZA is an enigma. Everything is stylish, including the way offerings and tithes are received.

“In my place of worship, our benediction stems from Psalms 23:6, “Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD, forever.” In COZA, it is, “I CELEBRATE YOU!” This too, is how they greet one another.
“Too much style, so much packaging, aredent drive for excellence, intolerance for laxity, expulsion of disloyalty, full of dynamism, kindred spirit and delibrate in acts: my definition of the Rev. Biodun and Pastor Modele led Church – COZA.
“This is my submission after my experience: Never criticise if you have not experienced. Don’t cast aspersions if you have no correct knowledge. Don’t judge if you also have flaws. I hope to visit COZA a second time, again when next duty calls at Abuja.”
