Every
leadership comes with it peculiar earnestness, the earnestness is accompanied
with grace and the grace is fused in an aura which serves as the driving force
of the leader. The aura is galvanised with power that drives the progress of
such leadership.
Prayer
is not a normal part of the life of the natural man. To say that “prayer
changes things” is not as close to the truth as saying, “Prayer changes us and
then we change things.” God has established things so that prayer on the basis
of redemption, changes the way a person looks at things. Prayer is not a matter
of changing things externally, but one of working miracles in persons and races.
Without
leaders coming into leadership with diverse earnestness there will be neither
major changes nor impact in such nation or State. His Excellency, Senator
Ifeanyi Okowa’s declaration of May 29 every year as PRAISE NIGHT, instead of Gala/Dinner Night to bring a total rejuvenation in Delta State is
a path that no leader before him has taken.
During
the night of praise on the 29 May, 2015, the new leader of Delta State
declared that day, every year of his tenure, a PRAISE NIGHT. His Excellency,
Senator Ifeanyi Okowa also outlined more reasons why the prayers and
fasting is necessary, that he wants to commit his administration to
God and pray for the removal of all forms of evil, such as pull-him-down
syndrome and the spirit of limitation, from the land while also pleading for God’s blessing
for the State.
Governor
Okowa knows that in order to set free and stay free, you have to admit you have
a problem. That sounds simple, but we live in a day and age of denial. No
matter what has happened to us in our lives, each of us are responsible for the
choices and decisions we make. If you really want to be free, you will accept
that responsibility.
To
become people whose lives are transformed, we must get rid of
what holds us captive and keeps us in bondage. The Delta State Governor knows
that one of the most powerful weapons in breaking barriers of life is praise
and worship.
Prayer
is simply communing with the Almighty – to whom all power belongs, The Lord has
already said, "If two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they
ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven" (Matthew 18:19). So
when the people of the State gather together and pray, according to 2
Corinthians 3:17, Jesus will descend in their midst in the form of the Holy
Ghost. Where the Spirit of Lord is, there is liberty. Only the Holy Spirit of
God can remove all the barriers. God has given us His Holy Spirit to help us in
our weaknesses (Romans 8:26)... When the Holy Spirit comes, the curses and
barrier in the land will disappears. Thus He grants deliverance from poverty
and brings in prosperity to the people of the State.
At
this time that the total yearning of all citizens of the State is the need for
Industrialization in order to create wealth and jobs for the
citizenry, all past leaders have had this as part of their agenda, but there
was no proper changes in those areas. It is not because they did not try, but
their projections could not attain the height needed in bringing prosperity to
the State.
In
other to break this impeding barrier or limitation, divine intervention is
needed, that is why Senator Okowa declared the praise and worship, and the
Bible said clearly that such cannot be, except by prayers and fasting.
