The minister in charge of the Presbyterian Church of Nigeria, Solid Rock Parish Umuahia Abia State, Rt. Rev. Ezera Ume has applauded the Director of ABN TV, Ifeanyi Okali for his contributions in improving the lives of others.
The clergy made this commendation on Sunday during the dedication of young Precious Ola Chizaramekpere Ifeanyi Okali, daughter of Okali.
She was born in May 11 years after the marriage of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Okali.
In his sermon titled, “Laughter Of Fulfillment” which was drawn from the book of Genesis 17:17-18, the cleric said though Abraham believed God is capable of doing all things, when he was told his wife, Sarah was going to conceive even after is has ceased being unto her the custom of women, he laughed a laughter of disbelief.
He said Abraham sacrificed for God when he showed care to the three angels who came in the form of humans.
For this, God showed him mercy and blessed him with a child.
While charging Christians to make sacrifices for God, the cleric said Mr. Okali was always doing one thing or the other to improve the lives of others and to grow the church, a reason he said made God to bless him with a child 11 years after marriage.
He said, “Within the period of waiting, 11 years our brother Fakzy (Okali) was always doing one thing or the other for the church of Jesus Christ.
“He bought wrappers for widows, meaning that he clothed them, provided for them, and covered their nakedness.
“Sometimes he bought foodstuffs, going to the children’s department. He was and still remains a friend of the children, always caring for them and buying gifts for them.
“Taking care of even pastors and we have been praying for him. Widows will surround him and pray for him, children will be praying for him, and ministers will be praying for him.
“And I was saying, God this man that has been doing these things for you, will you allow him to go childless?”
He expressed gratitude to God for answering the family, praying that more children would be born into the family.
