Christian leaders, church leaders, pastors and clerics, in general, have been criticised for not helping the needy and the vulnerable in society despite having massive resources.
This neglected area of humanity is exactly what has made Apostle Chibuzo Chinyere of Omega Power Ministries famous, we have seen him display perfect humanitarian gestures by helping the vulnerable and the indigents in society.
Something bizarre and fascinating happened in Lagos at Oshodi market some days ago a pastor was seen taking hawkers by surprise, with the pretence that he wants to buy, he ended up giving all the hawkers he stopped money to start their businesses.
It was an emotional scene because most of them took the goods on credit, to sell and get a little gain of about #700 out of which they pay #100 to the government on daily basis.
It is so excruciating and intensely painful to discover that every hawker you see in Lagos pays the government irrespective of the worth of the goods they have, what an insensitive and wicked government.
The pastor went round with utmost humility and gave about 15 hawkers money to start their businesses; it was pathetic because of the hawkers, the total worth of their goods was less than 2k, you can imagine the level of poverty.
They prayed earnestly for God to bless the servant of God; someone who knew him identified him as Apostle Friday Ikhide but couldn’t tell us the name of his ministry.
