Abia State Governor, Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, yesterday hailed the visit of the General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, to the state, describing it as a great blessing to Abia.

Welcoming Pastor Adeboye to a one-day programme tagged ‘Divine Visitation’ held at the Enyimba International Stadium, Aba, Ikpeazu noted that Adeboye’s visit would bring the woes of Abia State to an end because he is a servant of God.

“I thank God that he came here. His presence in Abia State will bring us closer to our maker. It will bring us peace and prosperity. It is a special blessing for me and I know that it is also a special blessing for you. It is well with all of us in Jesus’ name. Amen,” Ikpeazu said.

The General Overseer of the RCCG thanked God that he was returning to Abia State again and for answering the prayers he prayed when he came last to the state that God should end kidnapping therein.

In a sermon he titled “Divine Visitation”, Adeboye said that the impact of a visitation depended on the calibre of person making the visit, stressing that when God visits His people, they reap bountiful blessings.

For instance, he said that Jesus Christ visited Blind Bartemeous, a roadside beggar of 40 years and that single visit brought him so much blessings that could never be forgotten in his life and records.

He said that the blind man's single visitation turned his darkness to light, his poverty to prosperity, he came to lime light from oblivion and he accessed God's mercy with his enemies turning to his friends.

The General Overseer therefore prayed that God would visit participants at the programme and all Abia residents through the programme and give them unforgettable miracles.
