The Governor of Delta State, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, has urged
the clergy to speak to the conscience of the political class through undiluted
messages of salvation.
Speaking at the weekend in
Aragba-Orogun, Ughelli North Local Government Area during the Remembrance
Service of the Founder, Holy Spirit Redeemed Mission, Baba Moses Obarue,
Governor Okowa said that the clergy was responsible for telling political
leaders the truth at all times no matter whose ox is gored, pointing out that
his administration was committed to managing the state's resources for the
benefit of all Deltans.
He described the late Prophet
Obarue who died five years ago as a man known for his messages of holiness and
his boldness in speaking the truth to highly placed politicians and leaders.
Recalling his encounter with the
late servant of God, Governor Okowa said he genuinely gave his life to Christ
under his ministration and urged Christians to seize every opportunity to
impact on the lives of people around them.
Senator Okowa urged Deltans to
put their trust in God if the state must overcome its challenges, adding that
with constant prayers and fasting, God would heal the nation and restore its
lost glory.
In a sermon titled “What Would
You Be Remembered For?”, Reverend Asifor Akunkpimi described the late Prophet
Obarue as an addicted soul winner, with an incurable passion for fasting and
prayers, urging christians to impact positively on the lives of those around
them, so that when they die, their legacies would continue to be celebrated.
Governor Okowa later joined the
wife of the late Prophet, Mama Grace Obarue and her children to make
thanksgiving to God.
