Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has predicted that God will instal a deserving successor to Akwa Ibom State Governor Udom Emmanuel, who will carry out his plan for the state's growth.
Adeboye, who served as a guest pastor at the state annual solemn assembly yesterday in Uyo, exhorted the people of the state to have faith in God and assured them that once the state is recommitted to Him, prosperity, joy, and peace will rule.
Speaking on the topic of "Go Forward," he declared that he was there as an oracle of God to urge the Akwa Ibom people to advance because God does not enjoy stagnation or backwardness.
The cleric asked the populace and political leaders to make sure that only people with compassion for the suffering masses are granted power, and he warned those in positions of control to treat the populace with humanity and fairness.
The state's governor, Emmanuel, stated that peace has been essential to all other accomplishments of his administration and that it has been God's greatest blessing to the state throughout his time in office.
He continued, "What God has done for us largely is the peace we are experiencing in Akwa Ibom State. It is the biggest thing God has done for the state, and something is that which money cannot purchase. Peace beyond human comprehension has fueled state progress.
“It’s an oasis of peace and tranquillity, drawing people from all over the country to come here, live, invest and thrive. We will never sound boastful, but for everything we have, we give glory to God.
“As we have done in the preceding year, to hand over the state to the Almighty God, I want us to rededicate this state unto God. When we rededicate something to God, we are asking him to strengthen what He has done for us.
“So today, we are standing as a people telling God to strengthen that which He has done for Akwa Ibom State, and God will do it for us in Jesus' name,” as he reassured the people that God has never disappointed the state, even in the most tempestuous times.
