Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has donated a piece of
land to Faithway Gospel Ministries in Makurdi, headquartered in Jos, the
Plateau State capital, for the construction of a church and pastor’s residence.
Governor Ortom announced the donation on Sunday, 30th
January, 2022, during a thanksgiving service held at the church’s temporary
worship center located in the premises of Staff Development Center, Makurdi.
He explained that the land, measuring slightly above 100ft
by 100ft is located at Hudco Quarters Makurdi, stressing that arrangements are
being made to acquire a nearby portion of land to add to the existing one so
the church could have enough space for development.
Governor Ortom said he was led by the spirit to make the
donation without request from the church, pointing out that it pays to give and
encouraged Christians to live a life of giving in order to attract God’s
blessings.
The Governor, who was Guest Speaker at the thanksgiving and
spoke on the topic: ‘Practical Life of a Christian,’ said he came into politics
as a Christian who bears the mark of Christ.
He stated that the dedication of Benue to God in 2016 is
being manifested with the selection of born again Christians as paramount
rulers, stressing that the grace of God is upon the state.
Governor Ortom, who urged Christians to combine faith with
works to get the desired result, said God gave him the message for Christians
in the state to demonstrate the fact that faith without work is dead.
