Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has reiterated his commitment to serving God and humanity, no matter the amount of challenges he faces.
The governor stated this Sunday at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) “The Master’s Place,” Utako, Abuja while testifying to the goodness of God.
He explained that at the point of giving his life to God, he made a promise to worship Him with his whole strength, stressing that he is committed to keeping that promise.
This was contained in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Nathaniel Ikyur and made available to newsmen.
According to the statement, the governor attributed his courage in speaking the truth about the evil happening in the country due to the impartation of God in his life and his desire to see that things are done properly.
“The Church is the main target of attacks being perpetrated by Islamic extremists whose desire is to claim the country as their own,” he stated.
The statement noted that Governor Ortom advised Christians to stop paying lip service in worshipping God, to enable him help them to realise what they need to do for God to change the hopeless situation the country has found itself.
It stated that Pastor Micheal Ajiboye, who hinged his preaching on the need for Christians to remain awake at all times admonished them to fast and pray without ceasing.
