Church embark on road show

It was an electrifying atmosphere last weekend in all major roads of Amaraku in Isiala Mbano Local Government Area of Imo state, as members of Camp Of David – Order of The Cherubim and Seraphim Incorporated, Umuorsu, Amaraku, massively indulged in a classical roadshow in preparation for the annual celebration of Saint Michael’s Anniversary globally marked by the organisation.

The roadshow which saw all the participating members of the Church clad in beautifully designed T-shirt took off from the church Headquarters, Umuorsu, to various adjoining major roads of Amaraku city, with the leader and founder, His Most Eminence, Elder Dr. Paul M.C Onyegbula leading.

Speaking to some newsmen immediately after the rally, the Bishop unfolded the title of their exercise as: “The Battle Is Not Mine”.

He added that the title was a biblical derivative signifying the first day God drove Satan away from Heaven because of his rebellious fight with Angel Michael.

He said: ” Lucifer who happens to be one of the leaders to the Arch Angel Organogram was found to be rebellious and the Heavenly Host has to order Arch Angel Michael to fight him and bring him to correction”.

His Eminence therefore stated that it was on that premise that such anniversary was built into the Cherubim calendar, to annually celebrate Saint Michael as one of the Arch Angels that fought the Satan -Lucifer.

He used same interaction to describe the turnout of his members for the organized roadshow as impressive, but posited that it would have been better if the economy of the country had improved, adding that a lot of people who would have willingly loved to attend the programme could not make it due to lack of food, fuel and other economic conditions confronting the country. He stressed that those factors truly affected the turn out of his members, but thanked God for the success of the programme.

On the expectation of experiencing an improved economy in the country shortly, Bishop Onyegbula categorically said that it was not going to improve because of the existing poor system of governance. He opined that it was the sudden removal of the fuel subsidy without any alternative provision that compounded the already retrogressing Nigerian economy. He referred Nigeria as one legged man whose movement was being supported with a crutch and must have to be provided with an alternative instrument before the removal of his only supporting clutch. He said:” the country was already shaking before the subsidy removal and the thing was removed, everything became a fiasco and that led to the fall of the economy. As the prices keep skyrocketing, everything will keep skyrocketing”.

Onyegbula reiterated his wish not to offer any advice to Nigerian leaders because they did not like taking any, noting that they preferred doing things they wished to do. To the led, the Bishop advised them to accept the current economic condition, maintaining that the president had said that he was not going to do anything about it.

He attributed one of the country’s problems to the existence of too many political parties with different labels and exhibiting same attitude in respect to regular issuance of multiple unfulfilled promises to the masses.

Stressing further, the Spiritual David the 2nd advised religious leaders to be mindful of most of their exhibited abnormal activities in their Organisations for their own selfish benefits, describing religion as one of the major problems of the country. He therefore differentiated religion from Christianity, pointing out that while religion depicts man looking for God, Christianity lays emphasis on God looking for man.
