Apostle Ephraim Uwamarin |
In a chat with Bulkybon News, he posited that "I thank God for keeping me and my family healthy to celebrate my 61st year on earth. The greatest thank anyone should give to God is for being alive any day one wakes up "
When asked how he still keep looking fit and smart like an under - thirty Super Eagles striker, despite his advancing age, he said: "I do exercise a lot. I usually engage in long walks everyday, to be in good shape."
However, he pointed that "Even though the call to serve as a vessel to win souls is not an easy task, God is always there as my supporter to overcome challenges, as long as l am doing what the Holy Spirit direct me to do."
While smiling and laughing from time to time, in his usual friendly manner during the chat, he said he is looking forwarded to a successful Easter convention, billed to take place from March 29 to April 1, 2024. He therefore expect those truly looking for salvation to attend the event. He frowns at the rate many nowadays so-called messengers of God have been placing more emphasis on material acquisition at the detriment of true salvation over the years in the Nigerian society.
Nonetheless, he says "Though it is not sin to be materially successful in the right ways, salvation is supreme to all material things. I therefore urge everyone looking for true salvation of his / her soul, to attend the forthcoming Easter convention, that will take place at our worship centre; Fountain of Salvation Ministry, 11, Aladelola Street, Off Ikosi Road, Ketu, Lagos."
In his concluding remark, the very jovial but frank messenger of God emphasized the need for the well - to - do members in any gospel - oriented congregation of God's disciples, to make it a habit of assisting the less privileged among them. According to him, "This will help to reduce the burdens hindering many from truly serving God in spirit and truth."
Those that are familiar with the Apostle's way of life for over twenty years, could testify about his kindness of assisting widows and other needy folks in his congregation, as God provides. He does not make a public show of how he has been assisting those in need, to attract crowd as many crowd-mongering so-called men of God are known for.
