A cooperative body and a socio-political group, the AKTC Lease Vehicle Operators and Akwa Ibom Democratic Alliance (ADA) respectively, have penultimate Sunday, December 14, 2014 observed their thanksgiving service at Heaven Light Assembly, Ikot Inyang Eti in Nsit Ubium LGA.
Following the First Bible Reading from the book of Job 22.1-30 taken by the leader of the church, Leader Ekong E.T. Edem, Apostle C.I. Usoroh, in his message, admonished Christians to cultivate the spirit of thanksgiving to God due to His numerous benefits in people’s lives.
Apostle Usoroh, in his message, advised the faithful to ensure that they engage in profitable ventures unto God so as to attract His goodness and blessings which, according to him, adds no sorrow.
Drawing from the book of Jonah 1.16; 2.9, he recalled how the celebrants had vowed in the church to specially thank God if He fulfilled their heart desires in their respective pursuits, and, therefore, applauded them for redeeming their vows.
Noting that thanksgiving and redeeming vows have become a tradition in Heaven Light Assembly, Apostle C.I. Usoroh, who cautioned that one should be mindful of the quality of vows, stressed that redeeming vows and doing so on time attracts God’s special blessings.
In his exhortation during the event, the honourable commissioner for Transport in the state, Prince Godwin Ntuk Udeh restated the importance of thanksgiving in the life of every Christian, citing the lasting healing that followed the Samaritan who returned to thank Jesus when He healed him.
Prince Ntuk Udeh who is also a senior apostle in the church stressed that with genuine thanksgiving God was capable of turning around every dead or ugly situation for good in every believer’s life. He lauded the celebrants for having resolved on their own, even without his knowledge, to come back to appreciate God for fulfilling their groups’ heart desires in the year 2014.
On their part, the celebrants, AKTC Lease Vehicle Operators, and the Akwa Ibom Democratic Alliance, among other things, maintained they had cause to appreciate God for accident-free operation through the year 2014, and the peaceful and the successful conduct of PDP primary elections in Akwa Ibom State in particular and the country at large, respectively.
