Akwa Ibom Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has admonished Christians to allow the redemptive value of the resurrection of Christ which depicts victory over death and hopelessness to reflect daily on their lives.
Governor Eno gave the admonition in his sermon at the All Nations Christian Ministry International, Eket LGA, as part of the events to commemorate the 2025 Easter Celebration.
He admonished people to trust and believe solely in God as the resurrection is a message of hope, indicating that He is able to resurrect whatever is dead.
Preaching on the theme, “He Arose,” culled from Matthew 27:62-66, the Governor charged the congregation on the benefits of the resurrection of Christ.
He said, “Christ resurrection gives us the boldness to talk about Christ. It assures us of the forgiveness of our sins, and validates our belief in the Lord Jesus Christ.
“His resurrection gives us the assurance of meeting with our departed loved ones again, and the overall lesson of all this is that God cannot be limited.”
On his birthday which comes up on 24th of April, he enjoined well wishers to visit the less privileged or orphanages and celebrate the day with them, noting that he is passionate about the welfare of the less privileged.
“If you wish to celebrate me on my birthday, visit and support the less privileged in our State. Reserve whatever gifts or food that you intend to give me for the less privileged. visit them, eat, drink, and dance with them. Visit hospitals and clear bill, visit the prisons, just go out and touch lives”
“Let them know that the Governor’s birthday is 24th April, and that you have come to celebrate my birthday with them. Take pictures and video of the celebration and send to me. Honestly, I will be happier and more fulfilled.”
The Easter Sunday service featured inspiring choir renditions, soulful choruses, praise and worship sessions as members of the State’s Executive Council, clergy, dignitaries, and numerous worshippers gathered for the impactful service.
