The General Overseer, Redeemed Christian Church Of God, Pastor Enoch A Adeboye has declared divine benevolence on the leadership of Akwa Ibom State and it Citizen. “It is well with Akwa Ibom State as it gives God a prime place in it administration through laudable Christian programmes which draws Men to God.”
Pastor Adeboye recalled that his last visit to the State was in 2013 December during Akwa Ibom State Christmas Carol, where he officiated.
The Man of God stated this during a Courtesy Visit on Governor Udom Emmanuel at Government House on his arrival for a – two day programme of the Church in Uyo.
Pastor Adeboye, who described Governor Udom Emmanuel as a spiritual son said that a father pays homage to a son to encourage him in his leadership stride especially now that the Country is going through tough times occasioned by economic and political upheavals.
He said his visit to the State was also to meet with the Christian Community in a Prayer Rally slated to hold at Uyo township Stadium as well as inaugurate a fellowship Chapter for elites and busy Executives particularly members of the political class whose busy schedule does not afford them opportunity to attend routine Church programmes.
The General Overseer added that God laid early in his heart to establish fellowship Centres where top Government functionaries and business Executive meet and receive the word of God to impact on the society, stressing that if the leadership is spiritually sound, it would be easy to attract those under them to sound doctrines and morality which would save the society from decadence.
He congratulated Governor Udom Emmanuel on his elavation to the helm of affairs of the State and prayed God to imbue him with divine grace and wisdom to lead the State aright.
Receiving the Redeemed Christian Church Of God General Overseer, Governor Emmanuel commended the Church for it rapid spread to every nook and cranny of the country and sued for more of such evangelism to the unsaved souls in Africa and other continent who still indulge in paganism.
The Governor advocated for more children evangelism to bequeath sound Christian doctrines to the young minds for a better society in the future describing Pastor Adeboye as a spiritual father whose teaching, he recalled, has impacted on his spiritual growth and dimension of faith which has made him who he is and attributed the prevailing peace in the state to the intensity of prayers by the Men of God and the Church.
The State Chief Executive expressed the optimism that by the visit, Akwa Ibom and indeed Nigeria will witness a divine intervention in it socio-economic programmes and thanked the Redeemed Overseer for the visit which he described as a blessing to the State.
