ACMB Enthrones 2 New Bishops

-


By Etok Okon

The Assembly of Charismatic Ministers and Bishops (ACMB) of Nigeria, has enthroned two new bishops to raise the number of bishops in the assembly.
Performing the enthronement rites, the founder of the assembly and Primate of the Goodnews Community International Abak, Archbishop Elijah Mboho enjoined the new bishops to be good shepherds of the flock of Christ, who do not pursue material gains to satisfy selfish needs of the carnal body but set above every pursuit, the goal of encouraging spiritual development and growth of the church of Jesus Christ. He intimated the new bishops that the bishopric position needs greater sacrifice which they must always be ready to offer to promote the growth of Christianity without expecting any reward from man, adding that the high priestly office demands that any occupant demonstrates justice, honesty, transparency and love for all manners of persons, irrespective of the Christian denomination, nationality and religion the person may belong to, but as Jesus Christ loved the world, and the church, the bishops must follow the example of Jesus Christ in loving everybody.
Delivering message before the enthronement the chairman of Akwa Ibom State Christian Pilgrims Welfare Board, Archbishop Dr. Cletus Bassey, described the bishopric throne as being an everlasting throne, and the scepter as being the right scepter (Psalm 50:6), and as a symbol of authority that carries with it mercy and forgiveness. He maintained that the occupants of the throne are not always people who are blameless, but that the mercy of God fulfils the grace that makes one to be anointed for the throne “God gives His mercy to whoever he feels. He charged the new bishops to be compassionate and merciful to the children of God under their care and to demonstrate the authority of their new position as bishops in the household of God with the fear of God, seeking always directions by the Holy Spirit, instead of human counsels, to be able to discharge the responsibilities of the bishopric office accordingly.
Briefing our reporter shortly after the enthronement service, the President of the ACMB, Bishop Prof. Ahaziah Umanah, said that the two bishops were selected by their local church, the Goodnews Community International Abak and described the role of the ACMB in the enthronement of the bishops as being consummated in the commandment of Jesus Christ to His disciples “go ye into the world and make disciples of all Nations”. He disclosed that the ACMB is non denominational assembly of Christian leaders who seek to promote the growth of the universal church which Jesus Christ is the head, noting that any true minister of God can join the assembly of charismatic ministers. It would be recalled that ACMB enthroned Bishop Nseabasi Ette and Bishop Joshua Udom for the Goodnews Community International weekend in Abak.
