Don’t Use God For Selfish Purposes, Cleric Tells Christians
A large crowd of members
of the Greater Evangelism World Crusade from around Rivers State have expressed appreciation to God for His faithfulness and for preserving them throughout the year 2016.
The faithful, who thronged the world headquarters of the church in Rukpokwu, Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State, for the 2016 end of year healing service last Sunday, said that God has done marvelous works in their lives.
The worshippers also prayed for the leadership of their ministry, and hoped for a fruitful future.
Speaking during his sermon, the International Director, Pastor Isaac Valentine Olori, charged Christians to examine themselves objectively, to see if they still have the light within them.
The director, who observed that Jesus Christ was far more important than the day he was born, called on the worshippers to always let in the light and use it to cast away darkness in their lives and the church.
Olori also advised that none should use God for selfish purposes, adding that the search for signs and wonders brings no spiritual benefit.
He called on those who have yet to receive Christ into their lives to do so in order to ensure their salvation, sustained deliverance and healing.
However, he cautioned that except the God-given gift (Jesus) is received, He (God) cannot function in our lives.
The service provided an opportunity to announce the 2016 End of Year Retreat, which, according to an announcer, begins on Thursday, 29th December at 4pm, and ends Sunday, 1st January, 2017.

Rivers Judiciary Denies Issuing Court Order Stopping SOLAD from Swearing in RSCSC Members
The Rivers State Judiciary has denied a media report claiming that Justice Frank Onyiri of the State High Court issued an injunction order restraining the Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), from inaugurating the newly appointed members of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission (RSCSC).
In a statement issued by the Deputy Chief Registrar in charge of litigation at the High Court, Menenen Poromon (Esq), the state Judiciary disassociated itself from the report, describing it as malicious and fabricated.
The statement emphasized that the report was a falsehood and a misrepresentation of what transpeared in the court.
Poromon clarified that no such order was issued by Justice Onyiri or any other judge of the High Court of the state and urged the public to disregard the information, as it lacked any iota of truth.
The statement however advised the public to verify any information concerning the state Judiciary directly from the office of the Chief Registrar, High Court of the State, to avoid spreading of misinformation.
