Build Your Homes Against Collapse,  Banigo Enjoins Women

Rivers State Deputy Governor Dr (Mrs) Ipalibo Harry Banigo has urged women to build their homes with wisdom to ensure it does not collapse.

Dr. Banigo stated this while speaking as the Guest Preacher during the 2022 Ladies Conference at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Regional Headquarters Parish (Chapel of Blessings), No 38 Old GRA Extension, Eastern By-pass, in Port Harcourt, on Sunday, 19th June 2022.

Dr. Banigo said, women, need to ask God for the wisdom that would carry them through. ”You need the wisdom to run your homes and grow our children, the whole world is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God, there is a lot of groaning, in our nation, and in our communities, there is groaning, the Lord is waiting upon you. God is set to do something new in Rivers State and Nigeria”.

Dr. Banigo who spoke on the theme: “Every Increasing Christian Woman” drawn, from Luke Chapter 2: 52 insisted that the word of God was key, in our increase, adding that we must grow in the word of God, spend time on the word, meditate on the word and chew the word.

“If you are a Christian, you must sleep on his word and let the word grow in you, through prayers and fasting, we must increase in our prayer life, and we also need to increase in favour, to increase in favour we need to emulate what Jesus Christ did. He was humble, humility must be our watchword, and you have to be simple and humble to attract God’s favour into your life.” Dr. Banigo stressed.

The Deputy Governor, who said Our Lord Jesus Christ was diligent at all times, said we must be diligent in teaching our children and leading them in the way of the Lord,  stressing that if we want to increase in God’s favour, we must live a holy life.

“There are no two ways, about it, the Bible says those that are the sons of God, are led by the Spirit of God and the Spirit of God cannot dwell in a vessel that is contaminated. We must also increase in faith and in giving.

Giving takes us from Glory to Glory, and we must realize that faith without works is dead, it is not about, I have faith, show me works in the Lord, show me your works in righteousness, and giving, giving of our time and resources is key, because Jesus said it is more blessed to give than to receive”. The Deputy Governor further stressed.

She also said we must teach our children as fathers and mothers to give and teach our youths that, it is more blessed to give than to receive, so the rent-seeking attitude that occupied the spirit of our youths in Rivers State must end.

“They must realize that God put them together and gave them a great destiny to fulfil and that there is something that they can offer to society.

When you find favour with God then he will take care of favour with man. Stop running around seeking favour with men.

He speaks for you when you are not there; take time to find favour with God rather than men, as the Bible says when a man’s ways please God even his enemies will work for him, as we grow in age we, must grow in wisdom and knowledge”.  Dr Banigo quipped.

Earlier the Wife of the Regional Pastor of RCCG Region 5, Mrs Modupe Adesoji said the programme, which started last week Thursday, featured free medical, outreaches, and float rallies to sensitize the citizenry, as well as aerobics to keep the women physically, mentally and spiritually fit, as well as a dinner for couples.
