The Women Ministry of Aguata Diocese of the Anglican Communion has organized a special prayer session for God’s intervention in the series of challenges facing the country.

 

The prayer session was the climax of the nineteenth Aguata Diocesan Women’s Conference held at Saint Mary’s Church, Ogbunka, in Orumba South Local Government Area.

The Aguata Diocesan Women regretted the hardship Nigerians are passing through, especially hunger, insecurity, banditry, unemployment among youths, high cost of electricity tariff, among others, saying that it was only through prayer that God could intervene.

 

The women, led in prayers by Mrs. Success Iwuagwu, also asked God to help direct leaders aright in making policies that would improve the living standards of the people.

In a sermon, the Anglican Bishop of Aguata Diocese, Right Reverend Samuel Ezeofor, described love as the crowning point of God’s creation, maintaining that Christians were compelled and constrained by the love of God.

 

Right Reverend Ezeofor, who is also the National Chairman of the Evangelical Fellowship in the Anglican Communion, EFAC Nigeria, stated that no mortal could separate Christians from the love of God, and charged parents and Ministers of God to always make youths love God, instead of going back to idolatry.

Bishop Ezeofor maintained that with love, Jesus Christ was crucified naked on the cross of Calvary for the salvation of mankind, including enemies of God, and cautioned the faithful against playing eye service in all they do.

 

In his remark, the conference President, Mrs. Chinyere Ezeofor, described the teachings of the conference as rewarding, and disclosed that society will be a better place if delegates domesticate the knowledge garnered in their various families, communities, churches and workplaces.

In their various interviews, conference delegates, including Lady Gloria Ezezika, President of the Ladies Auxiliary in Aguata Diocese, Lady Ngozi Ikeh, Chairperson of the conference Central Planning Committee and host Archdeacon, Venerable Ferguson Ezeokafor, described the theme of the conference as a reawakening call, and commended the people of Ogbunka for their efforts in making the conference a huge success.

 

Anambra State Commissioner for Agriculture, Dr. Foster Ihejiofor, the wife of a former Vice President, Mrs. Ifeoma Ekwueme, the wife of the Chancellor of Aguata Diocese, Barrister Ndidi Obiora, Assistant Legal Secretary in Aguata Diocese, Mrs. Chinelo Okoye, and Director of Media and Communications in Aguata Diocese, Mr. Abuchi Nwozor, attended the event.

Cutting of the conference cake, special songs by the Aguata Diocesan Women’s choral group, and an anthem by the choir added glamour to the event, which had its theme as “God’s great task for the Church, the great commandment’’.
