ANAMBRA 2010: ANGLICAN CHURCH OKAYS ANDY UBA

RE:PUBLICATION IN THE DAILY CHAMPION ON MONDAY DECEMBER 14, 2009, CAPTIONED: “ANAMBRA 2010: ANGLICAN CHURCH OKAYS ANDY UBA”



The attention of the Church of Nigeria Anglican Communion has been drawn to the publication in the Daily Champion of Monday, December 14, 2009, Vol. 22, no. 248, captioned: “Anambra 2010: Anglican Church Okays Andy Uba”



The publication which is at page 6 gave the impression that the Anglican Church has endorsed the candidacy of Andy Uba for the governorship election of Anambra State and dumped Dr. Chris Ngige.



The Church of Nigeria Anglican Communion, which is episcopally led and synodically governed, currently has 165 bishops, 160 dioceses and a General Synod/Standing Committee that acts for and on behalf of the Church. None of these bodies have issued any statement concerning the candidature of any person in the Anambra gubernatorial elections in 2010.



The Church is neither partisan nor in the habit of endorsing any candidate for any particular election but would rather pray for the candidates and the electorate for the guidance of the Holy Spirit in electing a worthy leader for good governance. This indeed has been our prayer for Nigeria and all the States of the Federation. But of course, individual Anglicans are entirely free, as citizens of Nigeria to support any candidate of their choice.

The Church will continue to pray for God’s intervention in the Anambra State gubernatorial elections scheduled to 2010.

EXCERPTS FROM: 24/7 WARFARE PRAYERS AND SUPERNATURAL BREAKTHROUGH MANUAL

INTRODUCTION Right from childhood, the number “SEVEN” has always been an intrigue, an interesting puzzle, a fascination, and a great phenomenon to me. I was actually born on the seventh day of the month; perhaps this was one of the reasons why something leaps inside of me whenever I see the number. But as I grew up in the Christian faith I began to see a regular reference to it the scriptures. I was kind of saying, whoa! Holy bliss! Seven occurs 257 times, or 7 × 41 Seventh, the fractional part occurs 98 times or 7× 14 Seven –fold occurs 7 times. Seventy occurs 56 times or 7× 8 “Seventy” in combination with other numbers occurs 35 times or 7× 5. God is pleased to stamp the number “Seven” with the seal of perfection and completeness. God never down played the importance of the number, because it was the number of God. It is a carrier of God’s mysteries. It pleased God that, the Seventh man from Adam – Enoch sh...
