Cleric Urges Christians To Be Steadfast

The General Overseer of
United Spiritual Church of Christ, Umuekpe in Omuma Local Government Area of Rivers State, Bishop Mike O. Onuoha has charged Christians to sustain their faith in God through thanksgiving.
In a sermon at a thanksgiving service, Bishop Onuoha, said that thanksgiving was important as it opens the gate of heaven for blessings.
The clergyman also said that as Christians, there was need for commitment towards the work of God, noting that God does not disappoint those who commit their time and resources to his work.
The man of God who quoted various Bible scriptures to buttress his sermon also urged the congregation to always wait for God’s appointed time.
He condemned the rush for miracles and breakthroughs, pointing out that what was important as Christians was the ability to worship God in spirit and truth.
In his words, “some Christians go to Church only to seek for miracles, healings, protection and financial breakthroughs.
“What is important is to worship God in spirit and truth,” he said.
The cleric also challenged members of the church to see prayer as key in their relationship with God and to be committed to the activities of the church while reminding them that Christ also prayed to God while on earth.
Speaking to newsmen later, the chairperson of the thanksgiving service, Mrs Victoria Chiarogholefu said that the church was growing from strength to strength and attributed this to the effort of the Bishop.
