The Akwa Ibom State First Lady, Patience Éno, has charged women in the state to emulate the virtues of women in the Bible who were devoted to God and exemplary in character.
Eno said it is by studying and emulating their faith that they can cultivate a deeper sense of devotion to God and those around them.
She said this on Saturday, during Women Rally 2023, a programme organised by the Women Fellowship of Qua Iboe Church, Eket Township Superintendency, tagged “A Devoted Woman.”
“I just want to point out to you a few women in the Bible who were devoted in their different areas, ways, and occupations. They were businesswomen of old, women who were busy in the house of God, doing the work of God, serving the men of God in the church, and ministering in the things of God like Rhoda, Abigail, etc,” she stated.
The First Lady, who was the keynote speaker at the event, noted that the stories of faithful and devoted women in the Bible are capable of deepening one’s spiritual life and devotion to God.
According to her the theme of this Conference: “Devoted Woman,” is very commendable because, throughout the Bible, there are numerous accounts of devoted individuals who exemplify unwavering faith and dedication to God. Within this context, there are several women whose stories stand out as testimonies of devotion.
“Whether it is Ruth’s commitment to family, Mary’s submission to God’s plan, Esther’s fearless advocacy, or Priscilla’s dedication to ministry, their stories remind us of the power of unwavering devotion in our spiritual journeys. By studying and emulating their faith, we too can cultivate a deeper sense of devotion to God and those around us.
She further said that miracles always abounded any time women gathered in the Bible and expressed optimism that the same would be the case at the end of the Women’s Rally.
“Anywhere and time women were gathered in the Bible, it is recorded that miracles were always visible and this I believe would not be an exception because Jesus Christ is still the same yesterday, today, and forever,” she noted
Earlier, in his welcome remarks, the Eket Township Superintendency Pastor of Qua Iboe Church, Ime Obong, appreciated God for making the event a reality and members of the women’s fellowship for turning up for the rally, noting that the presence of God is where joy and blessings are derived.
The President, Qua Iboe Church, Eket Township Superintendency Women Fellowship, Ekaette Eshiet in her welcome address appreciated God for sustaining the fellowship all through the years till the fourth edition while also applauding the Governor’s wife, Pastor Patience Umo for gracing the occasion.
