Governor-Elect sues for more prayers for Leaders

The Akwa Ibom State  Governor-Elect Mr  Udom Emmanuel has urged Christians to continue praying for God’s constant blessing in the State.

Mr Emmanuel said since the Divine charge on people is that they should always pray for leaders continually, Christians should therefore not relent in praying for peace, praying for progress and praying for the Lord’s blessings on the land.

The incoming governor who addressed the crusade of the Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Church held in Uyo on Sunday maintained that it was in response to prayers by the people of the state, that God brought him as his own instrument to bring about more development in the state.

Commending the zeal and prayerful spirit of the Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Church, he said, “you sacrifice your pleasure and time, praying for God to do his will in the state, and lo and behold, his will has been done and I urge you to keep the fire burning.”

He commended the General Overseer of the Church Rev Lazarus Muoka and the church leadership for organizing the convention with the theme, “The Master Has Arrived,” maintaining that although God has always been with Akwa Ibom State, the convention theme meant that God had new plans and prospects for the betterment of the welfare of the people of the state.

“Having stood on several Christian platforms and churches to seek for support in the elections, it would not be fair for me to ignore a convention of this magnitude by Christians, and I want to use this opportunity to again thank the church and indeed all Christian faithful for standing by me, and I promise that I will allow God to use me to create wealth for the state,” he said.

He announced a donation of two buses for evangelism by the church, maintaining that the everyone’s supreme responsibility is to be focused on God in order to make Heaven, which is the ultimate destination of all faithful Christians.      

At the occasion the General overseer of the Church Rev Lazarus Muoka prayed for the Governor – elect and for more blessings of God in the State.
