Rivers State Commissioner for Education, Prof. Peter Nwagor, has reaffirmed the importance of prioritising God irrespective of the demands of public service and political engagements, saying that no schedule should be too busy to make room for worship, praise, and fellowship with God.
Prof. Nwagor said this during the 20th Anniversary Celebration of the House of Kings Assembly, commemorating two decades of God’s faithfulness, spiritual growth, and life-transforming testimonies, under the theme, “After All.”
Reflecting on his participation in the church’s activities, particularly the reading of Genesis 26:20–22 during the anniversary service, the Commissioner explained that his commitment to God remains unwavering despite the demanding nature of his responsibilities, especially during the political season.
According to him, the recognition of God’s supremacy and the need to remain in His presence must never be compromised by the pressures of public office or other engagements.
“This is a matter of God, and we cannot be too busy for God. No matter what happens, we must create time to ensure that we come into His presence, worship Him, and praise our God.” Prof. Nwagor stated.
He also acknowledged the significant spiritual influence of the Senior Pastor, Pastor Felix Nkweke, and his wife, describing them as people who have consistently encouraged and supported him, not only in his work, but also in his spiritual journey and in his contributions to society.
The Commissioner expressed his continued commitment to the church, assuring the leadership of his availability whenever called upon to support its activities and advancement.
Prof. Nwagor further pledged his support towards the church’s development and maintenance, urging the pastor to call on him whenever necessary.
He said this while encouraging members to demonstrate genuine faith through practical acts of giving, particularly during the anniversary fundraising session.
Emphasising the biblical principle that works must accompany faith, the Commissioner urged members to translate their spiritual convictions into tangible support for the ministry, noting that the pastor and his wife had made tremendous sacrifices and contributions to the ministry’s spiritual growth and well-being.
He urged the congregation to reciprocate the dedication and commitment of the church leadership through generous giving, active participation, and sustained support for the vision of the ministry.
The anniversary celebration provided an opportunity for thanksgiving, renewed spiritual commitment, and reflection on the remarkable journey of the House of Kings Assembly over the past 20 years, celebrating God’s enduring faithfulness and looking forward to greater kingdom advancement under the theme, “After All.”
