THE Delta State Governor, Senator (Dr.) Ifeanyi Okowa has charged Nigerians to seek the help of God in healing the land from all challenges facing the nation, noting that Nigeria was faced with several challenges because there is so much wickedness in the land.
Speaking over the weekend at the official opening ceremony of City of Refuge, Calvary World Outreach Ministries, Boji Boji Owa, Governor Okowa accompanied by his wife, Dame Edith and top government functionaries stated that true prosperity can only come through the church to the people when God’s hand is involved.
“I am glad that our people are becoming very much aware of the need to worship God in truth and in spirit. We appreciate God for the vision in building the City of Refuge, a non- denominational centre for worship. A house of prayer, praise and restoration,” he said
Quoting from 2 Chronicles 7:17, Joel 2:25 and Psalm 148: 18, Governor Okowa noted that God can only intervene in the affairs of Nigeria when the people turn away from their wicked ways and embrace the ways of God. “There is so much wickedness in our land, God can only heal our land when we return to God in truth and change our ways and observe his precepts”, adding that “it is only when we call upon the name of the Lord in truth that we can hear from God and once you believe it in your heart, God will answer your prayers.
“This is the time to embrace God because the Lord will manifest himself. It is time to pray and praise the Lord, even in very difficult times as we are in now, God can still attend to us separately. I believe that God has come to heal our state and our country.” “I am glad because as people come here to pray, God will heal our land, I therefore urge our people to make good use of this place so that they can reap from the spiritual benefits inherent in this place.
The governor congratulated Apostle Eruemulor and members of the Calvary World Outreach Ministries on the successful completion of the City of Refuge centre.
The guest minister, Bishop Ransom Bello in a sermon titled “Not by power, not by might but by the spirit of God” said the building of the City of Refuge was made possible in less than one year, not by the power of Apostle Eruemulor, but by the spirit of God, noting that whatever God initiates, He completes.
Earlier in his welcome speech, the President of the Calvary World Outreach Ministries, Rev. Apostle Chris Eruemulor, said City of Refuge is a non-denominational teaching centre and a place for healing of the sick.
