Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has charged Christians in the state to maintain close fellowship with each other to strengthen their faith in serving God with clear focus on achieving righteousness.
He gave the charge Monday, January 2nd, 2023 at the “The Brethren” annual Prayer and Praise Convocation with the theme; “Engaging the Next Generation” held at the Chapel of Grace, Benue People’s House, Makurdi.
Governor Ortom who delivered a keynote address titled, “Occupying the Public Space,” pointed out that working together in support of each other would provide Christians the opportunity to be “productive and bear fruits” while serving God.
The Governor described the theme of the two day retreat which is an annual programme of the Christian body as “apt and fitting,” stressing that “engaging the next generation” from taking over from the older one should be taken seriously.
According to Governor Ortom, “The next generation is not an easy task to face. Their interests, pursuits and desires are completely different but we must bring them back to the Lord and to righteousness”.
He said to achieve the target, “it requires prayers, evangelical action and exemplary conduct” which “The Brethren” has commendably undertaken to ensure that they leave a lasting legacy
