President, Methodist Church Nigeria, Diocese of North Women’s Fellowship, Mrs. Ruth Ohu (J.P), has advised members to serve God with sincerity of love, so that their prayers will be granted.
Speaking at 13th annual Diocesan Women’s Fellowship, with the theme; “Godly women; rise up and build the walls”; at St. Peter’s Methodist Church, Shogunle, Lagos, the woman of God, said that the works of God needs to be done with sincerity of love, interest, commission, perseverance and determination.
“The Lord will hearken to our prayers and grant our petitions. This is because when there is no love, there will be no progress, no meditation on the scriptures, such individuals will not grow in spirit. There will be absence of fasting and prayers, there will be no victory and miracles.
“Also, no team work and there will be a lot of mistakes and delay in completion. To crown it all, when there is broken walls, enemy will use it as opportunity to penetrate, steal, kill and destroy the peace of the land. As well, I want to enjoin us to examine and identity other types of broken walls, plan, seek the face of God, involve the people of God, have faith in Him, believe in His intervention and I know that the Lord will remove the reproach in our lives”, she prayed.
In her remarks, National President, National Women’s Fellowship of Methodist Church Nigeria, Deaconess Maria Aba, said,” Nehemiah did not depends on his strength, but the strength from above, that is God. For God to grant us success, we must be ready to arise , that’s to get up with determination and strength of God.
“It is important to note that there are different walls and gates that have broken among us today. Such as wall of love, wall of fellowship, wall of economy, wall of studying the word of God. We must arise and build all these walls. As we are building those walls, we need to be conscious of destroyers of good works like Sambalats and Tobias,” she stressed.
The host Bishop, and Spiritual Father of the conference, Rt. Rev. Job ‘Gboyega Ohu, noted that Eve in the Holy Bible, was not only Adam’s helper but she was equal.
“She was created to complement him. The perfect design by God was to make two genders, so that each of them could makeup for what the other lacked. I believe that women are the primary influence of the home, the gatekeepers of the children’s hearts, the cultural natures.
“A mother will preserve doggedly on behalf of her children. She will enter battles on every level to protect and preserve their hearts, values and security”, he admonished.
In her speech, President, Archdiocesan Women’s Fellowship, Archdiocese of Lagos Mainland, Nneoma Veronica Adeleye, commended the Diocesan fellowship and says that, the fellowship is marching forward and the gate of hell shall never prevail over them.
“We are progressing and not retrogressing. As we have not halted nor stopped in building this organ, let us not give up. Let’s join our hands as we have been doing to grow our precious and dear fellowship spiritually, financially and physically, so that our Archdiocese and Dioceses will be better and stronger”, she prayed.
