The Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon, PCC, the Rt. Rev. Fonki Samuel Forba, has exhorted his Christians and Cameroonians in general to shun their bad and corrupt ways and embrace Christ.
Rev. Fonki was speaking on Sunday, January 17, 2016, at the induction ceremony of Parish Pastor Rev. Jones Ayuk Ebot as the Presbyterial Secretary for the Moungo Presbytery and of PC Bonaberi.
Drawing inspiration from the Revelations of John Chapter 1: 9-18, the PCC Moderator called on the administration of Cameroon to stop diverting attention and attend adequately to the needs of the suffering masses.
Preaching on the theme “Being Turned, I saw”, the Moderator reminded the Christians that it is only during rough times that Jesus reveals himself.
“Jesus loves rough times,” said the Moderator. “So if you are still seeing the world through its numerous ills, then turn and see the Lord.”
While commissioning Rev. Ayuk Ebot, the Moderator urged him to turn the people in Douala and especially Bonaberi around to see the Lord’s glory.
“Turn them from their misery, hopelessness in the busy city of Douala. Before winning more souls for Christ, make sure you are not yourself swallowed in the city,” Rev. Fonki cautioned Rev. Ebot.
The Moderator called on Rev. Ebot not to fear,“ for the heavenly Father is with you, as you turn God’s people to Christ.”
Prior to his induction proper, the Synod Clerk of the PCC, Rev. Babila George Fochang, after reading out an elaborate biography of the new Presbyterial Secretary of the Moungo, said he is fit for the job.
Meanwhile, Rev. Ebot thanked God for choosing him to lead his flock in the Moungo Presbytery.
He beseeched all and sundry to put hands on deck so that his mission is accomplished.
