Benue People Have Abandoned God, Says Governor Ortom by number5(m): 7:43pm On May 30, 2016 |
Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has attributed the
backwardness of the state to sin, saying the people have
abandoned God.
The Governor was speaking at an interdenominational
service to mark the end of a two-week fasting and prayer,
held today at the IBB Square, Makurdi.
He said the people of the state were involved in “sins of
wickedness, slander, disobedience, heavy involvement in
occult, jealousy, pride, violence, disunity, immorality,
shedding of innocent blood, robbery, kidnapping, corruption,
arrogance, drunkenness and other vices”.
According to Ortom, God showed him the sins of Benue
people after which he decided to organize a prayer and
fasting, to dedicate the state to God and avert imminent
doom.
” When God opened my eyes to see the sins of Benue, I was
greatly distressed. I then decided it was better to bring all
these before God. God has compassion over all that he has
created.
” God showed me an example of the state of Israel that was
destroyed because of sin and how he sent his servant
Nehemiah to reconstruct the collapsing walls.
” Then God said to me, “if my people who are called by my
name will humble themselves and pray, and seek my face
and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from
heaven and will forgive their sins and heal their land.”
” As your Governor and leader, God has made me to realize
the problem of Benue and its people. We have abandoned
God, we have gone after other gods. We have abandoned
the truth of his words. We have abandoned his path and we
are all eager to embrace evil ways.” He said.
Consequently, Governor Ortom lay down on the alter and
offered prayers to cleanse and dedicate the state to God.
The event was well attended by top government officials
and politicians from the state which included the Deputy
Governor, Engr Benson Abounu, and Senators George
Akume and Barnabas Gemade. source : benue.com.ng |

Laughing. Because my man OMENKA is from Benue State,I will not YAB his State. But, so God has finally "run " away from Benue?is it because the women there don't say NO?or is because those beautiful creatures called "Bushmeat" have all been killed in Benue? I was told that to even one LIZARD in Benue,na die. Anyway,God does not forsake his Children,so I know this Governor is talking and speaking in the Mandingo dialect. 2 Likes |

sonOfLucifer: Prayer without action is a waste of time James 2 : 17 So too, faith by itself, if it is not complemented by action, is dead. James 2:14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? |
