Cleric Tasks Lawmakers On Service

The General Overseer and Founder of the Kingdom Life Gospel Church, Port Harcourt, Bishop Victor Uzosike, has called on lawmakers in both the National Assembly and the State Houses of Assembly in the country to render selfless service to Nigerians in the new year.

Bishop Uzosike who gave the charge in an interview in Port Harcourt called on Nigerians to pray to God to give the lawmakers the wisdom to realise that they were elected not to pursue their selfish interests, but the collective interest of the people.

According to him, there was also the need for the lawmakers to render selfless service to the people.

Uzosike who is also the president of Spirit Filled International Network of Gospel Ministers equally charged Nigerians not to give up on Nigeria but to continue to pray for change and sincerity of purpose  on the part of her leaders.

He said Nigeria was too great a country to be destroyed or be taken for granted by little-minded and selfish people who think mostly of themselves, adding that there was hope for the country.

The General Overseer also gave an insight into the vision behind his founding of the Spirit Filled International Network of Gospel Ministers about two years ago, a non-denominational organisation which recently organised a special end of year dinner party for members and their spouses.

According to him, the body was committed to taking churches back to the Holy Spirit as they were originally designed by God.

“We are calling on men of God to go back and study what the spirit is saying to the church and not what men are saying to the church”, he admonished.

He explained that the body through its philanthropic activities of reaching out to the less-privileged had proved that pastors were not only receivers but also givers and models to the development of the society and the family.

Bishop Uzosike said the Spirit Filled International Network for Gospel Ministers also strives to strongly build scriptural values in the society since, according to him, traditional values were fast crumbling in most African families and homes.

The high point of the end of year dinner party was dancing, gelee and tie-knotting competitions among spouses and the presentation of prizes to winners.
