It was a service of thanksgiving and praise to God as the Kingdom Glory Christian Center (KGCC) Umuahia, celebrates her 10 years Anniversary.
The church which started in 2009, was born out of a genuine desire to serve God and turn souls to Christ.
Interacting with journalists, the Pastor in charge of KGCC, Pastor Dickson Okoroafor, expressed gratitude to God for His sustenance since the inception of the ministry.
According to the cleric, God has never left the ministry stranded both in the financial and spiritual needs of the church.
He added that he did not come into ministry because he couldn’t get a job or was financially handicapped but he entered into ministry because he was genuinely called by God to salvage mankind and help them in their pursuit to make heaven.
The cleric maintained that the past 10 years had been by God’s grace, hence the need to thank Him, as every feat attained in the church,did not happen by human effort but supernaturally, ranging from their membership, the acquisition of the land where the church is currently situated among others.
He said he has been preaching the undiluted word of God backed with signs and wonders in the past 10 years.
Okoroafor disclosed that he has not drifted from his calling or compelled to introduce into his ministry, programmes that were not instructed by God.
Giving the church’s achievements in the past 10 years, he said the church has been able to hold power packed programmes that turned so many to Christ, as well as the purchase their plots of land, with a gigantic ongoing structure,revealing that soonest, the church will be unveiling their educational centre, Bible college,Home of the elderly among other spiritual projects.
The Clergy maintained that he does not feel threatened, having other bigger churches around him, stating that his church alone cannot do the work of soul winning.
Okoroafor, while urging the members to remain focus,resolute and undeterred in the pursuit of the kingdom,as 10 years is just a starting point, charged the youths to pursue the discovering of their purpose in life as it is only purpose that can push them forward in life.
Baring his mind on how Abia state can move forward, the cleric called on leaders at all levels to have the fear of God, accept criticism and put around them those who can speak the truth at all times.
Meanwhile, the cleric stated as part of his challenges witnessed in the past 10 years, to be the inability to sustain membership, adding that in all,God has been faithful.
Interacting with some attendees at the occasion, Mr Loveday Okoroafor and Sister Helen Onyike, described the Ministry as a great commission that God uses to raise great men and women, advising the members to be focused and make use of every word of God they hear from the minister.
They urged the clergy not to derail from his call but keep the fire burning .
