Child Dedication: Abia Speaker Celebrates with the Ihediohas in Church, Offers Automatic Employment to Worshipper

The Speaker while thanking God for His blessings upon the life of Prince & Mrs Emeka Ihedioha said children are gifts from God and that it’s a big testimony to the glory of God that a woman conceives, goes through the nine months journey of pregnancy and delivers safely.

The Speaker further said he was very happy to worship in the church for the first time and promised to support them whenever the need arises.

One of the major highpoint of the church service was when the Speaker called out one of the worshippers, Mrs Enyiocha Grace Ifeoma, a pregnant woman who was the lead singer of the church’s band. The Speaker said he watched keenly with amazement how Mrs Enyiocha, even though heavily pregnant and with another baby, was singing melodiously and with her whole being to the glory of God.

Moved by her dedication to service despite her condition, the Speaker asked her what she was doing for a living to which she announced that she was an applicant having studied Accounting and served in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).

The church went into wild jubilation when the Speaker there and then announced the offer of a job to her and requested Prince Emeka Ihedioha to proceed later to his office with her documents for processing.

Rev Felix Ucheze, the Presbyter of Trinity Methodist Church, Umuegwu Afugiri where the Service held welcomed the Speaker, thanked him and encouraged him to continue with the good works he has always been known for and asked God to bless him in all his endeavours.
