The President, Christian Association of Nigeria, His Eminence, Most Rev. Daniel Okoh has affirmed that people should not separate God from the politics. He noted that God is actively involved in both the politics of nations and the socio-relations of nations.
He said this, while giving his homily at the 2022 Annual Convention of the Christ Holy Church International, held at the Christ Holy Church International Camp-ground, Asaba, Delta State on Wednesday, December 14, 2022.
The CAN President who is also the International Chairman of the Organization of African Instituted Churches (OAIC) and the General Superintendent of Christ Holy Church International advised christians across the country to shun the saying that politics is a dirty game and not for christians.
“The saying that politics is a dirty game, is an old and obselete saying. People should understand that we are involved in the fate of our country”
“God has already chosen the leaders of this country, but we must also contribute our own quota in the fulfilment of God’s perfect will” His Eminence said.
Concluding his sermon, the cleric observed that the choosing of ‘Immanuel’ as the theme of this year’s convention is apt in the history of the country, especially now that all stakeholders are looking forward to having a free, fair and credible elections, with the assurance that God is with us.
He declared that 2023 is a year of Golden Opportunities for the church and so, there is no need for fear.
His words: “It is true that all is not well at the moment, but all shall be well. The church shall gather again in 2023 to share testimonies”.
Giving his Goodwill message, the Executive Governor of Delta State, His Excellency, Sen. Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, eulogized the CAN President for bringing this year’s convention to Delta State, noting that the convention is an opportunity for christians, especially members of Christ Holy Church International, to be enriched, nourished and reconciled to God.
The Governor assured the state government’s support for the construction of the road leading to the church’s campground, which is proposed to be the permanent site of the NationBuilders College of Technology, Asaba.
“This is not the Nigeria of our dream, but we must continually call upon God as our only helper” he said.
Also speaking, the Speaker, Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, who is also the candidate of the PDP in the forthcoming Delta State gubernatorial election, lauded the church for bringing the convention to Delta State. He asked for more prayer from the church, for a peaceful election in Delta State.
