PRAISE NEWS REPORT

By Anyaogu Emeka

Praise Family day has come and gone but the memory will not be forgotten in a hurry. This is because the day was full of life challenging and imparting features. The opening prayer was prompt and direct to the point as Bro. Benjamin Anwana led the session and asked the Holy Spirit to take control of the service. The Holy Spirit indeed took control right from the time Bro. Sam Akhigbe lead the congregation in praise and worship,which was followed by special rendition by Bro. Nnamdi Bonny and Sis. Favor Ezuma which set the floor for the guest minister to mount the podium.

At exactly 7:25pm the Praise Family leader, Bro.Okechi-Gospel Okereke invited the guest speaker, Evangelist Nkem Chima to the podium to do justice to the topic, “Today Christians and the Age of Moral Decadence”. It was a challenging message that prompted a number of questions from the audience. There won’t not be enough space to highlight all the points in this publication, but one of the issues raised was that today Christians are warring against a “Trinity of Enemy” that is, the devil, the world and the flesh. To win this battle therefore, the speaker stressed the need for the Church to raise an army that will fight against moral decadence, both in the church and the society at large. Meanwhile the message is still available on audio CDs for purchase (See Praise Family Excos).

Other activities that added spices to the day include the sharing of Praise Focus, (a monthly publication of Praise Family), a pen and a sheet of paper each for participants to jot down points during the teaching. To crown it all, after the spiritual food there was physical food to nourish the physical body. Personally, I was fed both spiritually and physically. Indeed, it was a memorable day. Thanks to the Almighty God, and to all members Praise Family.
