The Governor of Delta State, Senator
(Dr.) Ifeanyi Okowa has called on Christians to dedicate their lives to
serving God.
He made the call on Saturday at the dedication
of St. John's Anglican Church and a Vicarage at Ibabu, Ndokwa West Local
Government Area of the state. The church was built by Sir Monday Onyeme,
Chairman, Delta State Board of Internal Revenue.
According to the governor, "building for
the Lord is the best gift you can give when God blesses you.
“Building physical structures for the Lord is
good, but, the greatest gift you can give is what you do in your heart;
my prayer is that the prayers said in this place will uplift the people.
“Christians must continue to pray for the
state and Nigeria, no matter the challenge, it is not time to grumble, it is
time to pray for God to turn things around for our nation; we will continue to
do more roads.”
He commended Sir Onyeme for donating such
edifice to the Church assuring that his administration will construct a six
classroom block for Anglican Grammar School, Obiaruku.
Bishop of Ndokwa Diocese of the Anglican
Communion, Rt. Rev. David Obiosa, in a sermon, said, “the whole duty of man is
to serve the Lord; we are here for the dedication of this church and the
vicarage built by Sir Monday Onyeme for a purpose; it is building a place for
prayer for the worship of God who made us and has continued to empower us.
He commended the donors of the church building
and urged the people to utilise the church to seek the face of God.
Some of those who were at the event include
Senator Peter Nwaoboshi, Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon.
Sheriff Oborevwori and other top government functionaries.
