Hold Fast to Your Dreams, Pastor Augustina Joseph Tells Nsukka Worshippers

 Hold Fast to Your Dreams, Pastor Augustina Joseph Tells Nsukka Worshippers



By Emeka Esogbue


Young outreach minister, Pastor Augustina Anwulila Joseph, has urged her congregation to hold firmly to their dreams and never allow them to fade.


“Hold fast to your dreams, for if your dreams die, it is like a broken-winged bird that cannot fly,” Pastor Augustina told the worshippers.


She gave the advice on Sunday while addressing youths mainly students at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), House of Glory Parish, Hilltop, Nsukka, Enugu State.


In her sermon titled “You Are Not Hopeless,” the evangelist encouraged the congregation not to lose faith, stressing that “where there is hope, the invisible becomes visible, the intangible becomes real, and the impossible becomes achievable.”


She reminded the worshippers that “Christ in you remains the glory of your glory,” urging them to persevere and trust in God’s timing.


Born to Ogwashi-Ukwu father, her mother hails from Umuozoma in Ogbeowele Quarters of Ibusa. Pastor Augustina’s evangelical influence is steadily extending beyond her hometown. She also oversees her personal ministry, The Wedding Guest, through which she partners with other Christian bodies to organize outreach programmes that spread messages of hope, revival, and reconciliation.


Speaking with PEN MASTER, Pastor Augustina Joseph said her goal is to use the church and similar platforms to rekindle faith and help people rediscover purpose through the Word of God.

A SHORT HISTORY OF OBOLLO CLAN IN ENUGU STATE, NIGERIA

A SHORT HISTORY OF OBOLLO CLAN IN ENUGU STATE, NIGERIA By Emeka Esogbue Introduction Not many historical literatures on the Obollo people exist for the usual reasons associated with our people who prefer to write the history of mighty and populous peoples already enriched with volumes of historical accounts and records. Thus while there are historical documents on other peoples of Igbo, for Obollo, it is the story of dearth of documents. However, it is within my historical concern that the rich history of this part of Igboland be adequately researched into, documented and preserved for the future generation. I do not hail from this part of Igboland but my historical background, interest and curiosity propelled me towards the acquisition of both oral and written information to put this material together. Geography The various Obollo communities comprising of Obollo Afor, Obollo Etiti, Obollo Eke, Obollo Orie and Obollo Nkwo are strategically situated at the regional bou...

DIAMOND JUBILEE AGE: 20 THINGS THE WORLD DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT FRED AJUDUA

DIAMOND JUBILEE AGE: 20 THINGS THE WORLD DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT FRED AJUDUA On January 21 2020, Pen Master paid Chief Fred Ajudua a scheduled visit at his Lagos-VGC Marble Dome Home, a large and imposing house sitting on a hill from where it vigorously engages public views and attention. On entering the house, Pen Master freely walked in and around, in the spirit of the love that always binds the people of Igbuzo. The man, Chief Fred Ajudua often described as the “Architect of Modern Ibusa” is unarguably one of the biggest fish in history to have come out of Ibusa even as it is said that nearly every Ibusa family has benefited from him one way or the other. Beyond what you know about him, there seems many sides you do not know. As the Igbuzo Chief celebrates his 60 th Year birthday, your Pen Master brings you the things you do not know about the highly influential Igbuzo Chief. Pen Master also dug into the Ajudua family photo depository all for your knowledge. Happy reading! ...

SEE HOW ANIOMA PEOPLE DRESS ON THEIR TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE THE ERA OF USING OUR TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE TO PROMOTE ATTIRES OF OTHER GROUPS IN NIGERIA IS GONE

SEE HOW ANIOMA PEOPLE DRESS ON THEIR TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE THE ERA OF USING OUR TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE TO PROMOTE ATTIRES OF OTHER GROUPS IN NIGERIA IS GONE Today is Saturday, conventionally set aside for marriage ceremonies. Awareness on how our Anioma brides and grooms attire themselves during their traditional marriage has fast spread and entrenched. We no longer promote other group's cultural attires because we want them to promote our own instead. I say many thanks to our Anioma cultural advocates on this day because our labours to preserve as well as promote the good cultures of our Anioma society have never been in vain. Noticeable now is that in   time of our traditional marriages, we costume ourselves in Akwa-Ocha which brings out our god-given beauty. A few moments after her traditional marriage in Umuodafe, Ibusa on December 28, inside the Agokei palatial home, I visited former Miss Amaka Thelma Agokei, the bride. I was rather late; but I met this beautiful bride t...
