The Omega Power
Ministry (OPM) has renamed its free restaurant after Miss Leah
Sharibu. Miss
Sharibu is the only Daptchi girl yet to be released by the Boko Haram sect
months after her abduction because she refused to renounce her Christian faith.
Speaking at the event
which attracted a mammoth crowd at the restaurant site, the General Overseer of
the church Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere said Miss Leah Sharibu is a role model of
the Christian faith who should be emulated by other Christians “At this time
when adults join cults, go into prostitution, armed robbery etc all in a bid to
acquire wealth and gain earthly pleasures, this young girl has shown strong
faith in our Lord Almighty by refusing to renounce her Christian faith not
minding the intimidation of losing her life. She is indeed a role model of the
faith”. He said.
Apostle Chibuzor said
the renaming of the restaurant which was formerly known as the OPM free
restaurant was done in solidarity with her faith and trust in God Almighty. He
urged Christians to always believe in God and put their trust in Him always not
minding the situation they face.
The popular man of God called
on the federal government to ensure that they step up efforts to release Miss
Sharibu soonest so she can unite with her family. He also reiterated his promise
to grant her scholarship to the highest level of education while also building
a three bedroom flat for the family with money that will make the family to
start any business they want.
The Omega Power
Ministry with headquarters in Port Harcourt Rivers State is one of the fastest
growing churches in the country and the church is known for its philanthropic
gestures something which the General Overseer says is the driving force behind
the church. “We use church money to build and develop humanity and not to
engage in frivolities. Church money belongs to the people and not to one man
alone. We must be seen to be touching lives and this is why we will continue
building schools, building estates, empowering people in all spheres of life
and at the end of the day the society will change for the better.
A member of the church
who spoke to our correspondent at the event also praised the courage of Miss
Leah Sharibu in placing her trust in God. He said the courage of Miss Sharibu
has strengthened her trust in God. “As I eat in this restaurant and see the
face of Miss Sharibu at the sign post outside the restaurant, I give God the
glory for her and continue to pray that God Almighty will ensure she regains
her freedom soonest” she said.
