The leadership and members of Nigeria Union of Journalists(NUJ), Ondo Council have been commended for attending thanksgiving service in commemoration of their annual Press Week on Sunday.
Commending the pen pushers, the General Overseer of Salvation Gospel International Centre, Senior Apostle Michael Ajibobola Foluso explained that most people lose their miracles and breakthroughs because they give glory to individuals rather than God Almighty when they received blessings from God.
He explained that God has declared that He is a jealous God and would not hold back His displeasure whenever anyone gives glory to an individual, particularly an idol, when he or she receives blessings from God.
The minister of God, therefore, enjoined journalists and Nigerians to always assess their lives and give thanks to God for the blessings they receive, particularly the gift of life.
In his address, the state Chairman of NUJ, Ondo State Council, Prince Leke Adegbite appreciated the General Overseer for his love journalists and continuous support for the union.
He explained the Thanksgiving service became necessary in appreciation of God for keeping all members of the union safe all through the year
Adegbite said: “We appreciate the General Overseer for his love and support for us always.
He’s a man of great virtues that’s why we are free to associate with him.
“We usually begin our annual Press Week, which is like the Annual General Meeting of blue chip organizations, in appreciation of God Almighty for protecting us all through the year despite the various excruciating challenges in the country.
“This is a way of placing our lives and future in the hands of God Almighty for our protection and success in the coming year.”
The Thanksgiving service was attended by a large number of members of NUJ in the state including all members of the state executive of the union.
