actively involved in proclaiming the gospel of the
Lord, Zack Orji has urged Christians to hold steadfast
to the love of God despite diverse life challenges.
Orji, a graduate of the University of Nigeria made the
call while delivering a sermon titled: "The Goodness
of God" at the first thanksgiving service of The Stream
of Grace Church, Ikotun, a suburb of Lagos.
Drawing inspiration from several Bible passages,
Orji, whose first movie in 1991 was entitled
Unforgiven Sin, said God sometimes allows
challenges in the lives of Christians, not to punish
them but to make them eternally dependent on Him.
He therefore advised that rather than being bitter
towards God during trying periods, Christians should
hold on to His promises from the Bible.
Lamenting the state of insecurity in the North East
region of the country, the former chairman of Actors
Guild of Nigeria urged Christians in the region not to
loose hope but instead remain steadfast in God,
adding that Boko Haram insurgency in the region and
some other northern states would soon be over.
In his words: "Northern Christians should not lose
faith in God, though trials and tribulations will come
but the Bible says many are the afflictions of the
righteous but the Lord delivers him from them all.
Definitely the end of insurgency in Nigeria is fast
approaching and whatever northern Christians are
going through is just a phase that will not last
forever. God will surely bring it to an end. They
should keep on depending on God who is the ruler
over affairs of men, governor of all nations and
keeper of Nigeria".
Orji admonished Nigerian political leaders to shun
unnecessary politicking bickering and focus on
sustainable development aimed at improving the
lives standards of Nigerians.
According to him, leaders across the globe are
elected into power to serve the people and not to
enrich themselves, pointing out that Nigerians are
praying for effective and efficient service delivery
which will empower the populace to have better
living standards.
Thanking God for His faithfulness over the ministry in
the past one year, the senior pastor, Pastor Austin
Elijah said his sole responsibility is to bring souls into
God's kingdom.
