 OBA OF BENIN: God Almighty instructed me to come to church today 

 

Gospel Light International Ministries (New Covenant Gospel Church) was graced with the presence of the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II. The Oba who came with his entourage, accompanied by other Chiefs, took the church by surprise, as no one was expecting him to be in the House of God. The 66 years old Oba, when given the privilege to mount the pulpit, gave a breathtaking speech that ended with thunderous sound of applauds and shouts.  Oba Ewuare II gave thanks to God for his life and family and told the congregation that the Almighty God specifically told him to attend the church's thanksgiving service. According to him, he said...  "The Almighty God, the omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent God specifically told me to come to church today, in person. I wanted to send down my secretary, but he (God) told me to come by myself. I have no option but to obey the Almighty God. So I'm here now"  After his wonderful sermon, the Oba gave the church a whooping sum of 1.5 million naira and promised to send same amount annually.  The General Overseer, Rev. Dr. Felix Ilaweagbon Omobude, thanked the Oba for his generosity and admiration for the Almighty God. He also encouraged the Oba to continue his good works and never relent.  This has drawn so many social critics and questions are being asked.  Was it right for the Oba of Benin to be in Church, knowing fully his traditional backgrounds?  Please drop your comments, like and share.  Report a problem
