The Secretary to the Rivers State Government, Dr Tammy Danagogo has reiterated the need for Christians to pray fervently for the betterment of society and live their lives in ways that would positively impact on the State and Nation.
He gave the charge on Monday, while playing host to a delegation from the Assembly of Kalabari Christians, in Port Harcourt. Requesting the visitors to use the annually held Kalabari National Day of Thanksgiving Day to re-dedicated the land and themselves to the service of God and man, he emphasized that in some developed countries such as the USA and Canada, the citizens have constantly dedicated their service to God and man, bringing about the visible and attractive development persons from other countries now wish to enjoy.
While expressing his sincere condolences on the sudden death of some of its core members during the Covid-19 lockdown, he said: “I believe that the anchor on God is important because without God it is difficult to achieve life’s aspirations.
“I am delighted that you are all here in preparation for the National Day of Thanksgiving. I urge you to galvanize all Kalabaris and friends to be part of the 2020 Thanksgiving. I have always witnessed that both traditional rulers, pastors, politicians and the younger generation attend previous Thanksgivings. I am persuaded that when these crop of leaders are united in any society, there is no way blessings and changes will not arise in such society or nation,” he said.
Earlier, the BoT Chairman of the Assembly of Kalabari Christians, Apostle Enemenia Darego, said that the assembly was an umbrella body of all Christians and Christian groups in the Kalabari ethnic nationality.
He added that the assembly scheduled to hold the 5th edition of the Kalabari National Day of Thanksgiving on December 11, 2020, designed to ensure the redemption and prosperity of Kalabari land by spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ and seeking the face of God through prayers and thanksgiving.
