The
Christian Community, traditional rulers and leaders of Rivers State
on Monday ushered in the Golden Jubilee Celebration with the spiritual
proclamation of Rivers Jubilee.
The
programme tagged Jubilee Prayer Banquet had as its theme: "Rivers
Jubilee Proclamation: Announcing our liberty".
Led
by three leading clerics, Apostle Emmanuel Kure of the Throne-room Ministry,
Pastor David Ibiyeomie of the Salvation Ministries and Dr Steve Ogan of the
High Calling Outreach, the Christian Community dedicated the state
to God.
The
Christian Leaders and Traditional Rulers offered special prayers
for Governor Wike, empowering him with God's strength to lead
the state greater heights after the Rivers Jubilee Proclamation.
The
Christian Community also prayed God to dislodge all enemies
of the state.
Speaking
after the proclamation of the Golden Jubilee, Rivers State
Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike urged the Christian Community to always uphold the
state in prayers.
He
assured the people of the state that he will continue to provide
God fearing leadership for the people of the state, using the
resources of the people to develop their communities.
Governor
Wike informed the Christian Leaders that the State Ecumenical Centre
aimed at promoting Christian unity will be commissioned by the end
of May.
Wife
of the Rivers State Governor, Justice Eberechi Suzzette Nyesom-Wike said:
"I am confident that as these altars, covenants, oaths and sacrifices are
made, that the much needed peace and prosperity of Rivers State will
indeed become a reality.
"I
am confident also that the Almighty God will ride upon our altars to the
rivers of the hearts of the sons and daughters of Rivers State to begin to see
eye to eye in peace and not in hatred.
She
thanked the various prayer groups for uplifting the state through prayers
and fasting.
The
Jubilee Prayer Banquet was organised by the Rivers Women Jubilee Prayer
Network. The programme witnessed praise, worship and prayers. It
