Hundreds of public servants, retirees and other
categories of residents of Osun State trooped to
the Winners Chapel, Osogbo, on Sunday to
partake of the food aid sent to the state by the
Presiding Bishop of the church, Bishop David
Oyedepo.
The State Pastor of the church, Pastor
Olumuyiwa Emmanuel, had on Wednesday
announced, during the mid week service, that
the truck loads of the food donation had arrived
for distribution. He directed them to invite their
friends and neighbours, irrespective of their
religious affiliations.
He said the food stuffs were sent to assist
workers and others cope with the hardship
caused by non-payment of salaries.
The pastor said, “The church has been blessed
to be a blessing to others. Irrespective of their
religious affiliations, we are blessed to affect
the lives of others positively.
“That is the reason why the church has been
giving to the less privileged ones. We have been
distributing food items to members and non
members. The church also distributed food
stuffs last month.
“God does not bless people so that they can be
a container, he blesses people so that they can
bless others and all of us must be doing that.
“Rather than acquisition of wealth, we should
cultivate the habit of giving to those around us,
and in return we would receive more blessings
from God.”
Emmanuel announced after the second service
that anyone interested in being a partaker of the
largesse should wait.
The pastor also announced that there would be
free medical treatment for all manner of
ailments and diseases next Sunday, while urging
church members to invite anyone they knew
that needed medical attention to come and
benefit from the free services.
Few minutes after that announcement, there
was a long queue of intending beneficiaries
waiting patiently for the distribution of the food.
Those on the queues were given rice, packets
of tomato paste and vegetable oil and some
parents and their children queued separately in
order to increase their rations.
Some of the beneficiaries expressed gratitude
to the church for the largesse, saying the nation
would be a better place if religious
organisations, corporate organisations and
individuals started considering the less
privileged ones.
The church had on June 14 doled out food and
financial aid to workers and others who needed
their largesse.
The Chairman of the Christian Association of
Nigeria in the state, Rev. Elisha Ogundiya, after
this, also advised churches in the state to begin
to donate food stuffs to workers to assist them
cope with the hardship caused by the
nonpayment of their salaries for months.
The Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress in
Osun State, Mr. Jacob Adekomi, also said in
June that labour unions in the state would soon
approach wealthy Nigerians to ask them to
donate food to their members. www.punchng.com/news/photos-osun-residents-storm-winners-chapel-for-food-aid/
