The president of God’s Kingdom Society, Brother Godwin Ifeacho, has challenged Christians not to trust in riches as they are temporal and would be meaningless when Jesus Christ comes.
Ifeacho made this known recently at the one-week long Christian Feast of Tabernacles organised by the God’s Kingdom Society held at the St Urhobo Square, Salem City, Warri, Delta State.
The programme brought together thousands of Christian faithful drawn from across the country which featured bible lecture, music festival, children assembly and Christian possession. Women also presented various gifts items and farm produce which included yam, rice, fish, yam powder, groundnut oil, cows, life hens, plantain, among others, to the church. The high point was the Christians possession where members from Lagos, Oyo, Calabar, Abuja, Kano, Edo, walked from Uhobo town to Sapele to Stadium Road, to Carvegina Primary School to Warri Township Stadium, and Ochuks Academy in demonstration of their faith and allegiance to the Almighty God. They danced with so much excitement across the city in their native attires, but the physically-challenged were not left out from the celebration.
He noted that many people struggle for power because they believe it enables them to do what they want in life, to live their lives on their own terms, to influence or outrightly control the behaviours of people. “When people have power, they feel they have the prerogative to make and break the rules and violate norms, without as much penalty as powerless people.”
He cited the scriptures copiously about the actions and boasting of King Pharaoh against the children of Israel when God told him to let them go of slavery.
“Those who because of their power and wealth oppose righteousness as Pharaoh did would suffer similar fate as the Egyptians in time of old,” Ifeacho said.
In her own words, the chairperson of God’s Kingdom Society, Women Fellowship, (GKS), Mrs. Helen Bazunu, charged women to continue to spread the virtues of honesty, faith, patience and love within their immediate communities
She said that families, churches and communities are torn apart when women display attitudes that are unbecoming of a virtuous woman, noting that the world is in search of virtuous women who will exhibit the life of faith, hope and love and make peace-building and mediation their watchword.
Bazunu took at swipe at women who attend churches but they live their lives at variance with the instructions of Jesus within their communities.
She said habits such as tale-bearing, gossiping, rebellion, disobedience and ungodly dressing and comportment are characters that destroy homes, family and church which should be avoided.
Bazunu, who lamented the increasing cases of cancer among women, stressed that women must maintain a healthy lifestyle and should avoid the use of chemical creams, eye lips, and make up that are injurious to their wellbeing.
