Resurrection hope as Apostle Usoroh opens mourning house for late Dr Grace Essien
The Area Apostle of the South East Working Area of the New Apostolic Church, Apostle S.P. Usoroh, has urged Christians to remain steadfast in hope, anchored on the promise of the resurrection.
Apostle Usoroh gave the charge while declaring open the mourning house in honour of late Dr Mrs Grace Emmanuel Ibok Essien at the country home of Senator Emmanuel Ibok Essien. Drawing his text from Second Epistle to the Corinthians 4:14, he emphasized that just as God raised Jesus Christ, believers are assured of being raised and united with Him in glory.
The cleric described the deceased as a devoted and committed member of the church, whose life reflected deep passion for the things of God. He encouraged the bereaved family to take solace in her impactful life, expressing confidence that she would be reunited with the faithful on the resurrection morning.
The brief but solemn ceremony featured hymns, prayers, and words of exhortation, with family members, church faithful, and sympathisers in attendance.
