Umo Eno, the governor of Akwa Ibom state, reveals his moving story of healing after attending a church event in Lagos.
The governor said that after attending a revival session at the Apostolic Church, Nigeria, Maboju Assembly, Lagos, he developed persistent health issues.
He described how his mother hurried him to a church prayer service in 1975, which freed him of his ongoing illness.
“And so my mother attended that revival, and truly, by the grace of God, I got my healing in that revival. And so my mum started coming here with me.
“We stayed here. I went through school here, and so everyone around this neighbourhood will know us,” the governor said.
Before moving to Akwa Ibom, the governor held a number of positions, according to the church.
After thanking God for his visit, he compared it to the biblical story of Jacob’s return to Bethel.
He said, “The Spirit of the Lord laid heavily upon my heart to return to Bethel. To return to Bethel. When you read Genesis 35, it will be clear to you why we’re here. It is a significant spiritual exercise.
“When a child forgets the blessings of yesterday, he will foreclose and forfeit the blessings of tomorrow.”
