Wife of Delta Governor, Dame Edith Okowa.

Wife of Delta State Governor, Dame Edith Okowa has called for a higher level of spiritual awakening in the country as a desideratum for life-long victory.

She spoke today, February 2, 2021 at the sixth edition of the annual Mothers Arise programme that held at the Government House chapel, Asaba.

Expressing her thoughts on the theme of this year’s prohramme, “Faith for all seasons,” Dame Okowa said in view of the growing challenges of recent times that it was necessary for everyone to understand that there is life after now and therefore live with the consciousness of eternity in view.

“There is a life after here and if we must live and end well, we must live with eternity in view. Let our actions and inactions be guided by the knowledge of the fact that everyone would be rewarded for their actions, whether right or wrong,” she said. She also admonish everyone to continue to observe the Covid 19 protocol, explaining that the virus, although deadly, could be contained by observing the laid down covid-19 guidelines.

The guest speaker, Pastor Blessing Amaechi, in her charge emphasized the need for everyone to exercise faith so as to overcome the challenges of the present times.
“You need faith to understand that you were created for a purpose. As women, we should understand that we are the hope of our world. If we are able to put ourselves in order and perform the assignment given to us, most of the problems in our world today would be non-existent,” she said.

She enjoined women to take their spiritual calling more seriously than before, affirming that God is never tired of showing himself faithful in the lives of the called.

Using several live testimonies, Pastor Blessing charged everyone present to put their faith in God, affirming that with faith in place, nothing is too difficult for God to do.

The annual event which is characterized by prayers and supplications for families, the church, state and nation, attracted top profile women including wife of the former governor of Delta state, Deaconess Roli Uduaghan. Other dignitaries present included the state Commissioner for Women Affairs, Mrs. Flora Alantan, her Permanent Secretary and Director General, O5 Initiative, Mrs. Oghenekevwe Agas, Director General, Delta State Capital Territory Development Agency, Hon (Mrs) Onyemaechi Mrakpor, among others.
