The
Governor of Delta State, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Okowa has said the prosperity
agenda of his administration will succeed as it was promised in the name of
God.
The
Governor gave the assurance at the Church of God Mission International
Incorporated, Warri, during the thanksgiving service by Rt. Hon. Julius Pondi,
member representing Burutu federal constituency in the House of
Representatives.
According to the
Governor, "the Lord is able to change things, there is nothing He cannot
do, He will change the lives of our people, even in the midst of scarcity, He
will make us deliver prosperity for Deltans which we pronounced in His
name."
Governor
Okowa used the occasion to call for prayers for his administration, asserting,
"we need to continuously pray for our State, we need to pray for
ourselves, then we will succeed."
"The
real substance is about your soul, the best you can offer the Lord is your true
self, your soul rejoices when you live in righteousness, you will not ignore
the poor, you will do good because with such, God's name will be
glorified," he added.
He
congratulated Hon. Pondi for believing in God, observing that Hon. Pondi was a
Councillor from where he contested for the state House of Assembly, though
lost, he was not discouraged as he expressed confidence in God and contested
for the House of Representatives position which he won.
"Hon.
Pondi was not discouraged, against all odds as people will say, he contested
for the House of Reps and won, it is only God that can do it," the
Governor reiterated.
Hon. Pondi at the service thanked God for His blessings on him, his family and his constituency, assuring that he will serve his people always with the fear of God.
Earlier in a sermon, Rev. Joseph Agbarah said Christians at all times, "must honour God, honour our fathers, we must honour those in authority," adding, "we need to reverence God, we must obey His ordinances, worship Him in His sanctuary and in truth."
"We
need to be obedient to His words, if we are obedient to God's words, God will sustain
us, we should trust in His goodness, He will always provide for His own and
judgement awaits those who know Him and does not do His will," he added.
The
service was attended by the Delta State Deputy Governor, Barr. Kingsley Otuaro,
Senators, members of House of Representatives, members of the state executive
council.
