Church leaders in the State have been charged to imbibe the spirit of discipline, dedication and other moral virtues at all times.
Rivers State Deputy Governor, Engr. Tele Ikuru gave this charge during a send-off service of Worldwide President of Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) Pastor Elijah Olusheye at Christ Apostolic Church, Diobu, Port Harcourt.
Commending Pastor Olusheye for successfully retiring from active ecclesiastic work, Engr. lkuru enjoined the successor Pastor Abraham Akinosun to emulate his sterling leadership style.
In his valedictory speech, the Out-going President Worldwide, Pastor Elijah Olusheye thanked God for the outstanding performance of the Pastorate, Ministers and Workers of the Church and urged them to “continue in that spirit” as serving God in religious or political spheres attracts problems which can only be surmounted through spiritual uprightness.
Also speaking, the General Overseer of Abundant Life Church, Apostle Eugene Ogu lauded Pastor Olusheye for leaving legacies of sincerity, hard work and dedication and called on Pastors who administer churches to follow his foot-step.
On continuity, the In-coming President of the Church, Pastor Abraham Akinosum appealed to the Pastors and members of the Church to give him and his team the kind of support rendered to his predecessor Pastor Olusheye.
Earlier in his sermon titled; “The icon has fought a good fight”; taken from 2nd Timothy 4:7, the chairman of the Rivers District Conference Centre of the Church, Pastor Godwin Osuigbo said the retiring President fought a good fight like Apostle Paul, describing him as a detribalized, prayerful, disciplined, dedicated, calling on Pastor to eschew the quest for materialism. ####
