Frank Edwards on Stage |
It was with great expectation
that people trooped into All Saints Anglican Church Auditorium on Friday April
27, 2018 to worship the Almighty God. The All night of praise began as Rev.
Chibuikem Amaefuna kindled the fire of praise in the lives of the expectant
crowd. He made them to understand from the scriptures that the purpose of the
gathering is to worship God. He led the worshipers through with some worship
songs and declared the programme started after the opening prayers.
The host gospel band of All
Saints took off from there, leading in praises and worship, and then prayers
for families, Nigeria as a nation and the Nigerian Youths. Mr. Ogochukwu Ugwu,
a youth member took his time to describe what worship is not and what exactly worship
is. He said that worship is not a mood of seriousness and frowning of face to
act sober or holy, as has been misinterpreted by many but it entails doing
everything to the glory of God, with the consciousness that God is in us.

Gospel singer and actress,
Chinwe Owoh was thereafter ushered to the podium and she really did justice to
her time, as she led the worshippers to experience praise and worship to the
Almighty God. The time spent with her was ecstatic.
The long awaited moment finally
came and the gospel singer, Frank Edwards was ushered to the podium and
everyone felt the atmosphere of worship. He encouraged the youths and told them
not to believe anybody that tells them that they are the leaders of tomorrow because
leadership is not by age. He advised them to be youths that are not ashamed of
the bible and urged them to always dress as they would love to be addressed. He
told the youths that Jesus is the only way to God’s blessings which last
forever, and which makes rich and adds no sorrow.

Speaking further, he advised
the youths not to copy evil people or things they see on screens, as they are
mere fantasies and not realities. He further encouraged them not to join any
secret cult and that if any of them has already joined, he or she should get
out of it. He said that his mother usually calls him, to caution him not to
join Illuminati or any secret cult and he had assured her that it will not
happen.
He narrated his encounter with
Barr Obienu, a member of the church, who was the reason behind the programme.
He said that Barr Obienu approached him at the airport and asked if he was
Frank Edwards, and thereafter told him how listening to his songs aided his
recovery after brain surgery. He said that the reason for his coming was that
Barr Obienu urged him to come and minister in All Saints Church, GRA, Enugu.

Frank Edwards went radical as he stepped
down from the podium and danced gracefully round the pews, along with children
and youths. His style of ministration was infectious and I think I contacted, and felt like waxing my own song. Mehn!
He sang for a long time; Mercy Chinwo too, at her time of ministration, yet, not
on influence of drugs. He has become a famous musician, yet, not a member of
Illuminati or any secret cult. I wonder where many musicians got the idea that they
need drugs to perform vigorously to thrill their audience. or where they got the
idea that they must belong to Illuminati or any secret cult to become famous.
Those were lies to deceive the cowards who do not believe in themselves, those
who could not stay connected with their source; God their maker.
After ministration, the Vicar
of All Saints Anglican Church, GRA, Ven. Arinze Egemba prayed for Frank Edwards
and encouraged him to stay focused and connected to our Lord Jesus Christ, as
it is not easy for people like him to overcome the distractions and remain
focused.
Ideal Olive was at All Saints
Anglican Church GRA, Enugu to experience the worship. It was an experience of
rhapsody in a melodious atmosphere.
