The
Deputy Governor of Imo State, Prince Eze Madumere has called on Christians to leverage
on the hope rekindled by the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ and believes that
the coming days shall be better than the present.
The
Deputy Governor made the admonition during a special service to commomerate the
birth of our Lord Jesus Christ at the Anglican Chapel of Praise, Lake Melinda,
Achi-Mbieri local government area of Imo State.
In
a soul lifting message, Madumere charged Christians to work with faith, urging
them never to yield to mere discouraging words of hopelessness. He challenged
them to be diligent in work and pray without season, saying that he has always
risen above his challenges by God's abundance grace relating his experience to
the hopeless situation man found himself before the coming our Lord Jesus
Christ. He went ahead to give his personal experience with God and how he saved
him.
His
words; "It does not matter what they tell you. Do not believe them because
our Lord Jesus Christ said that it is well with you. Say it loud that is well
with you.
"Have
you not wondered how I survived and won my battles. It was not money. It was
not because of physical strength or military might. God gave me a message. That
message is that His Grace is sufficient for me. That mountain before me; that
mountain of impeachment; that mountain of assassination; that mountain of death
was removed... Not by might but by the Spirit says the Lord of host. We all
have mountains or challenges but with the remembrance of the Birth of our Lord
Jesus Christ and reason for his birth, you will be victorious... Say
Amen!"
Meanwhile,
speaking on the state of the polity, he gave words of hope that the country is
undergoing some positive changes, which will soon manifest. His words:
"Most of you are disheartened and disillusioned. Some are even confused.
Some are even asking questions here and there? When every movement seem to
have grounded to a halt. So slow. No action anywhere. Don't worry. Our Lord is
at work. Just be faithful, patriotic and do that which you are supposed to do
and wait upon the Lord. What is happening is a sign of sanity that will
overtake this land. The Lord Jesus is
about to deliver our people from abject poverty, impunity, greed and
familiocracy. A worker deserves his wages. Stealing from the sweat of the
poor is abomination. Surely, we shall step into the New Year with a New Song.
“A song of victory."
Earlier
in his sermon titled "Be not Afraid", Venerable Dr. James
Onyekwelibe, called on Christians not to live in fear, saying that those who
walk in darkness have seen a great light and those living in the land of Shadow
of death a light has dawned. He said that such is happening because a child who
is a son of God is given and that government will be on his shoulders. He
continued that he will be called Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and
Prince of Peace.
He
assured that God rules and that is why no one can certainly proclaim a thing
against the children of God and it will stand.
The
Bible Reading from Isaiah Chapter 9:2,6 and 7 was taken by the wife of the
Deputy Governor of the state, Princess Chioma Eze-Madumere while the communion
service was superintended by the Chaplain of Chapel of Praise, Venerable Dr.
Sunday Iherue.
