In his sermon, founder of a popular interdenominational worship centre in the state, Power House Interdenominational, Evangelist Ephraim Ononye urged the widows not to see their widowhood as end of their lives.
He said God was watching their conditions and knows their challenges, even as he called on them to keep trusting in Him.
“Man can disappoint but God cannot. Man is full of disappointment, man is full of wickedness but your Redeemer will continue to hold you very firm. He will fight all your injustices, all your harassments and intimidations and other things you are passing through as a result of widowhood”, he said.
Ononye warned those persecuting widows to desist from such act as, according to him, it will attract the wrath of God on them.
He urged the widows to always be patient and avoid desperation in order to enjoy God’s protection and blessing continually.
