Looting of Edo Medical Stores Sin Before God, Cleric Admonishes

By The9jaTrend

A Christian cleric and General Overseer of Chapel of Deliverance International Ministry Incorporated, Apostle Mike Agbonkhese has called on Edo People to be content with what they have as those who broke into Edo State Medical Stores and private warehouses in Benin City were not working for the growth of the State describing the action as a sin before God Almighty.

Apostle Agbonkhese gave the admonition while delivering a homily at  a combined Service of the Ministry at the church headquarters in Benin City last Sunday.

The clergy noted that it would have been more credible for those who broke into the medical store to expose the alleged hoarding of the palliatives to the whole world rather than looting the items, adding that such exposure was capable of forcing a guilty party to resign from office.

"Let's say the truth, will the palliatives stolen from the warehouse sustain you for the next one year? Absolutely no! There is a cause attached to anything taken by force, whether you believe me or not, there is price you must pay for it," he emphasised.

While admonishing the congregation that God Almighty will always bless the labour of our hands if really we believe in Him, the man of God said: "God said, He will bless the labour of our hands. Taking what does not belong to you is a sin before God. If God cannot bless you, who will?

"Corruption has been in existence in the world, even in the bible; it was corruption that made God to drive Lucifer out of His throne.

"Corruption has been part of our system.   Nigeria's past presidents made efforts to fight corruption. Therefore, President Buhari should not relent in fighting corruption. If he feels he cannot continue to fight corruption, I think the best thing he can do for Nigeria is to resign and allow who is ready to fight corruption to come on board.

"The problem we are having is that, you can't see yourself doing something meaningful; you must have time for yourself, if you don't have value for yourself, no man will. The bible told us that, what a man thinketh in his heart so he is," he advised.

Apostle Agbonkhese eulogised the genuine protesters for embarking on the clean up and evacuating the burnt tyres that littered the streets of Nigeria by the hoodlums, saying "this shows  that the genuine protesters were focused on their agitation, they are good citizens of Nigeria who mean well for the nation," he concluded.
