Hon. Elder Iwok Takes Abak People To God In Prayer

STOP AND PRAY

By Abbas Umoh

"... ever since I stepped into the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly as the representative of the good people of Abak, l pledged to take Abak to God in prayer monthly, a vision l am not ready to give up upon so soon . And, it has been God all the way ". Elder Iwok asserts in today's prayer meeting, as he outlined the gross benefits of stopping to pray in its most fascinating way.

Taking Abak to God in prayer in a Monthly Solemn Assembly over the past six years have been an incredible exercise. It has not also been an exercise in futility, but a one stop exercise in which God has used to rain down blessings, broker peace and tranquility in Abak.

God has used the monthly Solemn Assembly so significantly in touching and transmogrifying many lives both physically and spiritually. The exercise has brought tremendous blessings to the land of Abak in no small measure.

The Solemn Assembly has dragged the hand of God upon the people and even the people are better testimonies to this sacred truth. Elder Iwok hints.
