The Founder and General Overseer of
The Divine African Church of Nigeria Inc., His Eminence, Edidem Ime
Dickson Umoette, has admonished Nigerian leaders and Christians faith to
worship God sincerely, and shun idol worshipping in order to attract His
blessings to the country, and avert the looming danger on the people as a
result of God’s anger on the nation.
Umoette who is also the Paramount
Ruler of Etinan Local Government Area made the assertion, Sunday, November 18,
2012, while delivering sermon which he titled: “Expired relationship” in the
2012 Annual General Convention of his church (the Divine African Church of
Nigeria Inc.) tagged; “Come and See”, at the convention grounds, Ikot Udo Otto,
Etinan LGA.
He said that when believers serve
God with their hearts that their rewards from heaven are divine blessings which
nobody or Satan could stop, calling on his worshippers to mend their relationship
with God on a daily basis so that their faith could be renewed.
Pastor Umoette who doubles as the
President of the church, drew biblical instances to back up his preaching from
the scriptures of Proverbs 11: 1; Ezra 8: 21; 1st Samuel; Judges
1:5-24 and Judges 16:1, among several other biblical portions, saying that idol
worshipping and sacrifices offered to Satan and demons were abomination in the
sight of God, adding that no true Christian would serve God and Satan at the
same time because it was against the principle of God.
The man of God warned that the wrath
of God would visit any Christian that serves two masters at the same time.
He advised believers who are married
to eschew sinful conducts that would relegate the principle of marriage as
instituted by God, noting that marriage couples should abide by the words and
messages of God and shun immorality so that the society could be a better place
for all.
He condemned what he called “rush of
married women” in search of babies which he noted normally “take the house-wives
to several places including herbalists and native doctors,” stressing that God
was against such act and added that, “any child gotten from such places always
turns into problem to such family and society at large”.
He admonished married men to love
their wives and respect their feelings while, warning the married women not to
push their husbands into committing sinful acts.
The royal father who is the General
Overseer of the church related the experiences of Sampson and Delilah from the
Holy Bible to his message and also recounted the Biblical accounts of several
men of God who were misled by their
wives and warned that such women do not end well in the history books.
He prayed for the fruitfulness of
his worshippers and prophesied a turn around miracle for them, saying that they
would have divine visitation from God in the cause of their being faithful
while offering service to God.
The 4-day International Convention
which started on Thursday, November 15, rounded off on Sunday, November 18,
2012 with the ordination of 2 Pastors, 15 Elders, 30 Deacons and 25 Deaconesses
for the church nationwide.
Meanwhile, the Founder and General
Overseer of the Church, Edidem Umoette has while speaking with newsmen
shortly after the event, called on politicians and Nigerian leaders to fear God
in order to avert the looming fury of God on the people of the country, noting
that the spate of insecurity, flood and other natural disasters, which,
according to him, have become daily occurrences in the country, was a pointer
that God was not happy with the atrocities committed by Nigerian leaders and
the political class of the country.
He advised those in leadership
positions in the country to embrace God and work according to the principles of
God so that the country could be back on a good footage of God.
