“This is also a time to teach members the scriptural principles of prosperity, and the things they can do to be successful, and prosperous. We also let our members know that God is a farmer. Jesus worked; Adam worked, and Abraham worked. Therefore, it is unscriptural to be idle. God hates idleness.

Rev. Nwachukwu, who urged the beneficiaries to invest wisely, also told the faithful to apply certain principles such as being disciplined, having the ability to save money; as well as practicing the principles of tithing, and giving to the poor.

“A river that does not flow is a dead sea that does not flow to anything. If you don’t give out, you can’t get any in return,” he concluded.

Some of the beneficiaries, who spoke to newsmen during the event, expressed their happiness over the event, which they said, has been an annual ritual, and which they said, has been a blessing to many.
