Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, the governor of Anambra State, has praised the Dunamis International Gospel Center for carrying out what he called “quintessential evangelism” during its recent crusade at Dr. Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka without interfering with traffic or creating a nuisance for drivers.
The church, under the leadership of Pastor Paul Enenche, was invited to host future events in the venue, and Soludo, impressed by the event’s orderliness, declared that the expenses paid for its usage would be reimbursed.
In keeping with Anambra’s mission to be “The Light of the Nation,” the governor also revealed that Ekwueme Square and the surrounding area would receive a significant makeover in the upcoming months, including better lighting and landscaping.
The governor asked the church to step up prayers for the state’s spiritual rejuvenation and aid the administration in restoring moral standards among the youths in a statement released on Thursday by his press secretary, Christian Aburime.
“Our people are known for hard work and innovation, not for kidnapping, internet fraud, drug trafficking, and other criminal activities,” the statement said in part. We must all work together to refocus our children’s attention toward impact and production.
“We applaud Pastor Enenche for his sermons that encourage morality and virtuous behavior. Young people’s perspectives will be reshaped, and Anambra State will become safer and more wealthy as a result.
Religious leaders and the Christian community have unanimously praised the governor’s gesture as an effort to improve the government-church connection while fostering social change.
Prior to the governor’s speech, Dunamis International Gospel Center Senior Pastor Paul Enenche gave a sermon titled “Serving the God of the Blessing.”
Intense worship, healing testimonials, and prophetic declarations were all part of the event, which attracted thousands of worshippers seeking divine intervention.
Pastor Enenche used biblical allusions to Adam and Noah to highlight in his sermon that God’s purpose has always been to bless His people.
“From the beginning, God declared His blessing upon Adam in Genesis 1:28, saying, ‘Be fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth, and subdue it.’ In Genesis 9:1, God reiterated this blessing with Noah even after the deluge. This demonstrates God’s dedication to blessing His followers,” he stated.
He assured the audience that obedience to God is what activates heavenly blessings and exhorted them to pursue a life of service and purity while holding fast to their faith.
Pastor Enenche is anticipated to lead prayers for people, families, and the state as the crusade proceeds, announcing God’s blessings on Anambra and its citizens.
