Church Cautions Youths Against Terrorism

The Apostolic Church Gospel Mission has cautioned youths in the country against involvement in acts of terrorism and other forms of anti-social behavour.

The General Superintendent of the Church, Rt. Reverend S.B. Esaenwii who said this at Kaani at the end of the 45th Annual Convention of the Church described terrorism as not only alien to Nigeria, but punishable by God.

Rt. Rev. Esaenwii stressed the need for people to respect the sanctity of lives explaining that God who gives life is the only one that can take it.

The clergyman also stressed the need for the government to create employment opportunities for youths in the country, while both the government and the governed should intensify their prayers for peace in the country.

He said that the convention which has the theme; “Your Enemy Must Submit” was meant to bring people closer to God, adding that this year, the Church would expand its activities beyond Rivers State to other parts of the country.

Earlier, the cleric had told his congregation to put their trust in God, while urging them to pray for their enemies always, as nothing good or evil befalls anyone without the knowledge of God Almighty.

Speaking, Apostle Sampson Barisua Nkipnee who is incharge of Kaani headquarters Church said that the Church helped in the destruction of a number of evil practices in Ogoni, noting that many evil forests in Ogoni have been cleared by the Ministry.

According to him, the Church will not relent on its oars until Christ is preached to all the nooks and crannies of Nigeria and beyond.

High point of the event was the ordination and baptism of ministers and converts.
