Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has urged Christians to look beyond their present challenges and embrace renewed hope because the resurrection of Jesus Christ symbolizes a restoration of faith as Easter is celebrated.
Ministering at a Easter commemorative service at the All Nations Christian Ministry International, Eket, the Governor described the death and resurrection of Christ as the greatest triumph and victory for every believer in the world.
In his message titled : “The restoration of hope,” drawn from Luke 24:13-21, Pastor Eno who doubles as the Under-shepherd of the Ministry, as contained in a statement from his Media Unit, noted that the resurrection of Jesus has indeed provided hope for the living who believe in Him.
Pastor Eno charged believers to know that when God stands by them, no one can stand against them, stressing that it is only God that sanctions any happenstance in life.
He further admonished Christians to always listen to God in the course of service as, according to him, “there is no hopelessness, betrayal or failure in Jesus, but power, revival, excellence, success and joy.”
Pastor Eno urged believers to always have hope and faith in God as He is the key to their restoration and well-being in life, adding that the resurrection of Christ has revived their identity, destiny, expectation, honour, and joy in life.
He enjoined Christians to realize that Christ’s resurrection has totally cast away fears, intimidation, and hopelessness; imploring them to put on the confidence and boldness given to them by his resurrection to excel, dominate, and prosper.
The service which featured sessions of inspirational praises, worship, choir ministrations, and prayers, had in attendance the State Deputy Governor, Senator Akon Eyakenyi; the Coordinator, Office of the First Lady, Lady Helen Obareki; the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Udeme Otong; the Secretary to the State Government, Prince Enobong Uwah; members of the State Executive Council; clergies; political stalwarts; captains of industry; and Christians across the State.
