Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria, AMEN, Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka, has admonished politicians to have the fear of God in their dealings and shun cultism.
He gave the advice on Sunday
during a special Thanksgiving Mass organised in honour of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State and all political office holders and appointees at the adoration ground, Enugu.
Fr Mbaka urged politicians to embrace God for divine protection and guidance alleging that some politicians join various secret societies in a bid to protect themselves and to ensure a successful career without knowing that such moves would only end in bringing God’s wrath upon themselves.
Mbaka, who lamented that hundreds of Nigerians die on a daily basis as a result of hardship in the country, said that political leaders have failed to create a better future for citizens, stressing that they rather prefer diverting public fund to their pockets.
He advised them to see their profession as special call from God adding that they should always endeavour to carry out their duties with the fear of God.
“If any of you is in any secret society, you had better come out of it before it is too late. You don’t need such things. Those who join them never enjoy their last days. You are never protected.
“They may promise you favour but favour comes from God alone. So, depend on Him because He is the king maker.
“You think it is that nonsense you belong that made you what you are, not true. God can promote and demote you”, He said..
The cleric commended Ugwuanyi for his good governance in the state and charged him to do more for the state.
He said that Enugu State has never had a kind-hearted leader like Ugwuanyi, . “I want to thank God for giving us a man with this kind of gold heart”, stating that “Enugu has never had it like this”.
Speaking, Ugwuanyi commended Fr Mbaka for creating the Adoration ministry through which salvation and healings are extended to the people.
He added that the ministry contributed immensely to his party’s (PDP) victory in the last general election.
Ugwuanyi commended members of the Adoration ministry for their consistent prayer and support to his government and party before, during and after the election.
“I thank Rev. Fr Mbaka and adoration faithful for yielding the platform where people receive salvation and victory. It contributed to our victory with 94.4% of vote casted in the last election”,
He said that they came to show appreciation to God , to the people of the state , the Spiritual Director of the Adoration Ministry, Rev. Fr. Mbaka and the entire congregation of the adoration ministry for their support, solidarity and prayers.
