The Delta State government has held an inter-denominational
thanksgiving service to mark the 24th anniversary of the creation of the State, at
the St. Philip Anglican Church, AGGS, Westend Asaba.
The sermon of the day
was preached by Rev Oyibo, Chairman of CAN Delta State. He took his sermon from
Ecclesiastes 12 v 13 & 14 Let us hear
the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for
this is the whole duty of man. 12:14 For God shall bring every work into
judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
1. Without the fear of
God we cannot achieve our desire to prosper.
2. What is the fear of God? It is about recognising the supremacy of God in all the affairs and strivings of man.
2. What is the fear of God? It is about recognising the supremacy of God in all the affairs and strivings of man.
3. The writer
concluded, “Only the fear of God bestows on us true progress and happiness".
Without God been FIRST above our selfish interests then all of human
achievements namely knowledge, wealth, educational qualifications, titles
positions are all meaningless".
"You and I are failures if we do not fear
God. We cease to be man if we do not fear God. The fear of God is the only duty
of man. The fear of God will ensure speedy realisation of the Okowa
administration's SMART agenda of prosperity for all Deltans because: The
fear of God's judgment which is certain for all men in the hereafter brings a
realisation to do the right thing.
The Executive will do the right thing, so is the Legislature and Judiciary. There will be more revenue generated by the Board of Internal Revenue with real figures declared and certified to be true by the Auditor General. Money for ten jobs will not be budgeted and allocated for one job. Quality not shoddy jobs will be executed. Ghost workers shall cease to exist and there shall be speedier spread of development and prosperity.
