It was a proof of faith of the Word of God last week Sunday as Strong Tower Family of Anglican Church of the Holy Spirit, in control Owerri celebrated their annual Family Day.

The group which was full of great joy over the works of God in their lives set the day aside to commemorate their anniversary.

Speaking a sermon on the theme; Ask Of Me, the guest preacher for the service, Evangelist Bethran Uzodinma assured Christians of the power of God in answering the prayers of His children, stressing the need to live a good life by the word of God.

He hinted that no man can receive from God unless he or she identifies with him apart from universal blessings that God gives saying that it is the Lord’s will and wish to give his children what thay asked or requested.

He expressed disappointment at the low level of faith amongst children of God saying that God’s blessings is hidden in his words and encouraged Christians to be firm in the word of God and never give up as there is no better place than being in the presence of God.

Evangelist Uzodinma who further advised Christians not to cage themselves with evil traditions, worried that people read Bible with tradition either church or community and warned against limiting God in their life.

Explaining his desire in giving, Evang. Bertran Uzodinma said it came out of passion because of his past experiences as he once experienced poverty and by the grace of God the doors of favour opened for him.
