I Am Fulfilled When People Are Encouraged – CMCI President.
The president of Country Multiracial Church International (CMCI), Abuja, Pastor Victor Ibitoye, has said that his fulfillment lies in encouraging people who are doing their best to serve humanity and God.
He made this statement on Sunday September 29, 2024, in Nicon Luxury, Garki, Abuja, where individuals who have made impacts in the lives of others and the society were recognised and celebrated.
In his opening speech, Pastor Ibitoye said the awards event is a command from God to recognise and appreciate His children who are doing well in their chosen careers and His service.
He further said the award attracts a range of nominations from across all fields of endeavours in our society, but the recipients stand alone in their achievements.
One of the recipients of this prestigious award is Ms. Flourish Onomeasike Abraham, a deputy director in the civil service, and a minister in the Holy Nation Apostolic Outreach.
She said the award is a great thing to her, adding that it is different from the circular award.
“I have always had the desire to serve people. Yes, I have been trying in my own way to impact peoples lives as much as I can, and I will not stop in all ways the Lord gives me grace”, she commented.
Ms. Abraham was presented with the prestigious CMCI award of excellence as a Change Maker.
Commending the servant of God for organisng such an event, Ms. Abraham said Pastor Victor Ibitoye and his wife are great people indeed, adding that they are very patient and kind. She said she believes they are going places in life.
Another recipient of CMCI award of excellence is Mr. Uchechukwu Chukwuma Ogbonna, a distinguished leader and advocate for Democratic Ideals and Social Justice, who hails from Enugu State.
He currently serves as the national speaker of the Youth Parliament for the Social Democratic Party, leveraging his diverse professional expertise and robust political background to drive positive change.
Mr. Igbonna was presented with the award of Grand Commander and Change Maker, in recognition of his contribution to the service of God, National Development and service to Humanity.
In his words of appreciation, Mr Ogbonna commended the organiser of the event, and promised to keep doing his best for the society, even as he prayed for God to grant Nigeria leaders with the fear of God.
Hon. Dr. (Mrs) Maryamu Isa Barnabas was also a recipient of CMCI award.
Hon. Barnabas is a devout Christian mother whose steadfastness, friendliness, and humility are second to none. A courageous achiever, politician and philanthropist whose history is a testament to the unfailing grace of the Almighty. She is in the current race for the chairmanship position of Bwari Local Government Area.
She was also honoured in Switzerland in 2023 after successfully training and empowering over 550 rural women in poetry, beads, ties and dye, etc. She is the founder and MD of the famous Women Foundation, Abuja.
She said she never knew the president of this ministry from anywhere.
“When I was contacted, I was surprised because I didn’t know the pastor before now. I had to make enquiries and the spirit of God convinced me about it.
“It is my second awards too, and I give God all the glory,” she said.
In his closing remark, pastor Victor Ibitoye said the event is quiet fulfilling, and he is happy that those recognised today would be encouraged in the good work they are doing.
