April 22, (THEWILL) – Pastors have been advised to imbibe the culture of humility, love and sacrifice towards their members and the society in general.
This was handed down on Sunday by Apostle Godfrey Omodubor, at the Faith Gospel Revival Deliverance Ministries Worldwide in Eteqwe, Yenagoa, the Bayelsa state capital, during an award ceremony in his honour.
The award, which was bestowed on him by the organisers of the most prestigious award, the Bayelsa Media Network Award (B.M.N.A), as the “Prophet of the Year 2025”, was due to his outstanding love and care for the people.
Prophet Omodubor said he was honoured by the award, and it is a call to do more for society. “I was not expecting it, nor did I solicit for it, but as it pleases God to honour me this way, I must say I am very happy and God will empower me to do more.
“If God called you, he will back you up and give you all that you need to succeed. It only required patience, endurance and hard work. God is not a magician, nor is God a debtor; he paid everyone at the right time and in due season.”
He thanked the organisers for deeming it fit to recognise his little contributions to society.
Presenting the award, the Project Manager, Bayelsa Media Network Award, Mr Blessing Ozegbe, said the award was a result of Apostle Godfrey Omodubor’s contributions to the development of society in general.
The Project Manager described the man of God as a faithful and hardworking man, saying, despite being a spiritual Father, he still reaches out to people within and outside his domain.
“We have been observing him from afar and from investigation and testimonies of people around, he is truly a man of God, full of humility and respect for both young and old alike. His character is worth emulating, and I pray that other men of God will learn from him.
“This is an award that is not commonly given, and because we couldn’t find a worthy person last year, this category was suspended, and by the grace of God, this year, we discovered this man of humility, full of love and sacrifice, to be given the award.”
He encouraged the man of God not to relent in doing good to people and to see his calling as a genuine call from God.
The award ceremony, which also happened to be on his birthday, was witnessed by his large congregation and visitors.
