The Archbishop, Ecclesiastical Province of the Niger, Most Reverend Alexander Ibezim says gratitude, thanksgiving and obedience to God’s words remains the best instrument for achieving success.
Most Reverend Ibezim stated this at the Cathedral Church of Saint Faith, Awka during a special service to mark the Maiden Diocesan Harvest Thanksgiving and Recognition of Diocesan Auxiliary Ambassadors.
Religion Correspondent Amaka Chibuzor Okoye attended the service, and reports that
the Maiden Diocesan harvest thanksgiving celebration was to show appreciation and thanksgiving to God for his mercies and grace upon the Archbishop, the laity in Awka Diocese and the Province of the Niger, as well as the clergy in the eighteen Archdeaconries in Awka Diocese.
Most Reverend Ibezim who is also the Bishop of Awka Diocese, in a sermon titled “Thank You Lord” noted that the Diocese has continued to record massive elevation, progress and developmental projects as well as mission works and planting of new churches.
He said that because the Diocese believes in God, things turned out to be great, and warned the congregation not to put their faith in people rather in God.
The Archbishop maintained that God keeps every promise, lifts those who are weighed down, and charged the Auxiliary Ambassadors to put the Diocese in a lime light, be their voice as well as represent them at any time .
Speaking shortly after the service, two of the Auxiliary Ambassadors, Sir Chris Chikwelu and Sir Emmanuel Nwosu disclosed that they were called to expand the gospel, reach out to people and ensure that the mission work moves to all the nooks and crannies of the society.
The President, Mother’s Ministry, Province of the Niger, Mrs Martha Ibezim, the Diocesan Chancellor, Justice OJ Okeke and other members of the legal team as well as the Diocesan Director, Media, Communications and Research, Dr Emeka Odogwu were among those that attended the service which featured thanksgiving by Most Reverend Ibezim family, as well as other Churches led by their Archdeacons and mission Schools in the Diocese.
