MOSES OGBODOGBO AT 10

The recent celebration of Primate Dr. Moses Akponoja Ogbodogbo (JP) at his 10th Primateship Anniversary of the New Testimony Gospel Church formerly known as Christ Kingdom Church International (A.k.A Kingdom Embassy) was a great development.

It was a gathering of crème da la crème of Isoko and Urhobo anointed ministers of God that graced the event.

Dr. Moses Ogbodogbo is the 1st Pentecostal Primate that Isoko division and Delta State have ever produced since the creation of the state. Having seen the four walls of excruciating poverty and humiliation in the ministerial calling, he never discouraged even when he was officially and spiritually addressed as Okada Primate with no traceable future of the ministry.

He always envisaged that God that called him would surely provide all his needs in the absence of nothing. Despite his ministerial hiccups, he was personally convinced that ministry grows if God really in control. Dr. Moses Ogbodogbo was consecrated as a Primate ten years ago when the ministry was fully registered with Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC).

The ministry has Pentecostal setting which all his members were worshipping with him under a tent and mud house in the years past.

Though Dr. Mosese Ogbodogbo is one of the highly respected ministers of God in Isoko region who knows his full calling without mincing words but with a difference. With his sound educational background and happily married to a visionary wife with good children and understanding members of the 21st century, he was able to overcome the ministerial trails of life.

Dr. Moses Ogbodogbo is from Oleh in Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State. His ministry is located at Odugala Street in Oleh outskirt with the vision to grow the ministry into a large modern cathedral of the century. He is a down-to- earth minister of God who values every member callings irrespective of each individual background.

Celebrating Dr. Moses at his Primateship Anniversary where the galaxy of ministers of God who saw the primate as real servant of God with distinction and dedication. Ministerial callings are not meant for sluggish servants of God who do not know the religious intricacies of the real gospel of Christ. The Bible says' Many are called but few are chosen.

Dr.Moses Ogbodogbo is one of the few ministers of God that truly received strong confirmation of God into the full gospel of Christ. He has traveled far and wide in preaching the undiluted word of God to people.

The Gospel of Delta State cannot be watered away without mentioning the name of Primate Dr. Moses Ogbodogbo. Those that bear Moses are always connected with the gospel of Christ at any given time.

He is a highly intelligent and disciplinarian minister of God with vision in all ramifications.10 years of Primateship is not 10 days but has able to create visionary mindset to build the New Testimony Gospel Church International to a national level and others.

No new convert comes to the New Testimony Gospel Church International and remains the same thing again without him or her testifying to almighty God for the miracle works and nothing more. Primate Dr. Moses Ogbodogbo has impacted lives positively in all levels. The New Testimony Gospel Church is one of the fast growing Pentecostal churches in Nigeria and Delta State. The ministry has trained great ministers of God that can preach the gospel in all over the world without qualms.

If the ministry has not impacted human lives positively, the likes of Archbishop Dr. S. G Oyebode (JP), the President of Unification of Holy Communion Churches in Nigeria, Archbishop Dr. C. A. O Apena(JP)plus, the Chairman of Renaissance College of Bishops, Bishop Dr. Emmanuel Ojigbo(JP) Chairman National College of Bishops, Bishop Dr,.G. O Akpata(JP), Bishop Dr. Akande, Bishop Dr. Ebeh, Bishop Dr. J. B Onyeke(JP), Bishop Dr. V. E Arikoro (JP), bishop Dr. Richard Adigbo (JP), Bishop Dr. E. J Malaki (JP), Bishop Dr. Mrs Margret Emu(JP), Bishop Dr. Mrs Doris Mary Okweze (JP), Bishop Dr.(Prof) Pender Aridi(JP), Bishop Dr B. O Oruere (JP) and others would have honored the event.

The fact remains that Isoko nation is blessed with highly spirited servants of God. Though some of the top ministers of God were unavoidably absent as a result of one engagement or the other but was fully represented by people of integrity.Dr Moses Ogbodogbo is one of the hardworking Pentecostal ministers of God in Delta State that prompted Bishop Dr. Emmanuel Ojigbo (JP) and other servants of the gospel to present him a brand new jeep to Primate Moses as a gift from God.

He was given a cash gifts from his dedicated members and well wishers. He is a man of God who threats everybody equally without hesitation. The New Testimony Gospel Church is opened for counseling and prayers on weekly basis with amidst testimonies and has over 5 branches in Delta State.

Lastly, the Testimony Gospel Church International still needs some veritable things that would largely promote the gospel of Christ. The Primate needs a private residence, Gospel van for evangelism and landed property for Ughelli and Agbarha-Otor and others.

Dr Moses has duly paid his price for the gospel of Christ. We must deem fit to support his ministry at all levels now.
