The Apostolic Church Nigeria National Vice-President/LAWNA Territorial Chairman, Pastor (Dr.) Senior Gabriel Okpako Uyeh JP, has commended Governor Pastor Umo Bassey Eno of Akwa-Ibom State for his humility and simplicity.
This commendation was made during a thanksgiving service held in honour of the Governor at The Apostolic Church Nigeria Maboju Assembly, Maboju Area, LAWNA Territory, Lagos State, on Sunday, May 11, 2025.
In his sermon titled "Greatness in Humility" (1st Peter 5:6), Pastor Uyeh emphasized that humility precedes honour and that true humility is recognized by others, not self-proclaimed. He cited biblical examples, including David, Jacob, and the publican in Luke 18:10, highlighting the rewards of humility.
Pastor Uyeh concluded that greatness in humility brings honour, abundant life, upliftment, riches, and grace for exploits.
Governor Umo Bassey Eno, in his speech, expressed gratitude to God for fulfilling a prophecy from 1980, where a lady prophesied his governorship. He described his visit as a return to "Bethel" to renew his covenant with God, encouraging believers to wait for God's appointed time.
The Governor reflected on his journey, acknowledging God's faithfulness and the importance of remembering those who have contributed to his success."
According to the Governor, he said ‘’having been in office for two years, the Lord laid strongly in my heart to return to ''Bethel'' to renew the covenant on this altar because it was in this assembly God gave the covenant in 1980’’.
‘’I have learnt from my youth not to forget those God have used for my life and that is one of the reasons why I am here.
"I don’t know what tomorrow holds, I don’t know where the future leads me, but I know that Jesus who owns tomorrow is alive. I don’t the storms I am going to get into, but I know Jesus is in the midst of it.’’
It would be recalled that Pastor Umo Eno was called to the office of an Elder in October 1995 by Pastor James Okon, the current The Apostolic Church Nigeria Lagos Area Superintendent. Having attained the status of an Elder, he was posted to Babapomile Assembly to work with Pastor Mathew John to grow, nurture and develop the new Assembly. It was from here that he moved over to Akwa Ibom State where God has continued to fulfil His promises and prophecies upon his life, one of which being the reason for this Thanksgiving at TACN Maboju Assembly Lagos State.
