Faith and Power Church Intl, (Fapo) has declared Friday 1st of September fasting and prayers for Akwa Ibom State.

The message was contained in a release by the Presiding Bishop, Bishop Emmanuel Etim during today's church service at the headquarters in Uyo.

The man of God; Bishop Etim called on members and the general public to remain resolute and pray without ceasing, as ember month is season of myths as it is the most dangerous months of the year when Christians live carelessly allowing the enemy take advantage of them, hence the reason for the one day fast.

"But this kind does not come out except by prayer and fasting". - Mathew 17:21

It could be recalled that the state government through a Press Release signed by Commissioner for Information and Strategy had declared 1st September 2017 as a day of prayer and fasting to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the State.

The fasting also is to afford all Akwa Ibom people the opportunity to seek the face of God and open doors for more of God’s blessing upon our state at 30.

With the theme, “Shine for thy light is come…(Isa 60:1), this year’s anniversary is epochal, considering that thirty years is a very significant time in God’s scheme of things.

The heaven was opened for Jesus at the age of 30 during his baptism and there he also received a Divine endowment from the Father.
