The officiating Minister, Venerable Simeon Ariye, in a sermon urged all to continue to be good to people by providing them with their needs in order to attract rewards from God.
Ariye stated that for Christians to inherit the kingdom of heaven, they must present themselves to the Lord as a child and living sacrifices in the hands of God for great things to happen as they need the Lord to help, empower and strengthen them.
In his remarks, Okowa described the celebrant, Chief Victor Emonena Egukawhore, as a friend of the government, the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) and a man of the people who had contributed to the development of his community.
He urged him not to relent in his efforts to carry his people along in the scheme of things, praying God to grant him and his family peace.
The celebrant, Egukawhore, thanked all for the honour done the family by attending the thanksgiving service and pledged to continue to do his best in the service of God and humanity.
The service featured special thanksgiving by the family of Egukawhore.
