Churches Can’t Afford To Be Complacent With Covid-19 -Woke

As the world faces a new wave of the deadly Coronavirus, churches in Rivers State have been urged to continue to observe Covid-19 protocols.
The Chief of Staff, Government House, Port Harcourt, Engr Emeka Woke, noted that the resurgence of Covid-19 in Europe was becoming a cause for concern around the world, and the people of the state cannot afford to be complacent.
Woke gave this advice, yesterday during the Adults Harvest Thanksgiving Service at Ebenezer Anglican Church, Rumuowha, Eneka Deanery in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State.
“I want to reiterate what Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike had said, let us not relax and assume that Covid-19 is gone, Covid-19 is not gone, yet. For those watching international news, you will notice that there is almost a second wave in European countries. So, let us not relax”, he said.
The chief of staff appealed to the leadership of the church in Rumuowha and the entire state, to enforce Covid-19 prevention protocols, and also enjoined the congregants to always put on facemasks, observe social distancing guidelines and other protocols of Covid-19.
“This year 2020, the number of persons who have died of Covid-19 is very alarming. People use to think Covid-19 infection is only for the wealthy, but, look at the number of persons who have died from March to date. But we are here and alive. What else can you give to God than thanksgiving”, he said.
Woke noted that the period of thanksgiving was a period to appreciate God for His steadfast love and grace.
“As Christians, we know that God values thanksgivings. That’s why His Son, Jesus Christ, after healing 10 lepers, took cognisance of the only one who came back to say ‘thank you’! Jesus had asked, were there not 10 lepers that were healed? How come it is only you that has come to give thanks? If Jesus does not care about thanksgiving, He wouldn’t have asked that question”.
He pledged to support the church to advance God’s work here on earth.
According to him, “We will continue to contribute to the growth of the church.”
