Rivers State is now operating what the governor has termed a ‘Jesus’ economy, saying the financials of the state was tied to God, as the governor paid salaries of workers before Christmas.
According to Nyesom Wike, while other states were battling with economic downturn, Rivers State is operating a Jesus economy, which he said entailed divine provision and sustenance.
“If God be for us, nobody can be against us. We have had turbulent times, but we have always come out victorious. “This state is a Christian State. Therefore, we shall continue to collaborate with the church,” the governor said.
He said the state government would support schools owned by churches with grants. He added that the ongoing construction of the State Ecumenical Centre would be completed by May 2017.
He noted that the church stood by him right from the campaign period till date; when he was transforming the state.
The governor called on the church to continue praying for his administration for God’s protection and wisdom.
In his sermon, Resident Pastor of Living Faith Church, Rivers State Headquarters, Pastor Peter Ogbondemin said that Christmas is relevant because Jesus Christ came to restore Divine presence to man.
Highpoint of the Christmas Celebration was the Special Prayers for Governor Wike and Rivers State by the congregation.
The governor went further to boast that no power could bring him down because he was solidly and comfortably rooted in God.
Governor Wike spoke at the Rivers State Headquarters of Living Faith Church in Port Harcourt during a special Christmas church service on Sunday. He said Rivers State would continue to overcome trials and oppressive tendencies because of God’s grace.
