Plateau State Governor, Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, has urged the people of Plateau state to rise above ethnic and religious differences.
He also asked them to channel their efforts toward issues that yield tangible democratic benefits for the state and promoting selfless service to God and humanity.
Mutfwang gave the advice on Sunday during the formal dedication of the History of COCIN Headquarters Church in Jos, held at the Compound Church, Jos, Plateau State, North Central Nigeria.
Emphasizing the significance of history for any nation’s survival, he lauded the book as essential for steering COCIN Church towards continued faith and development.
Reflecting on his past involvement with the church since in the 80s, initially as a student and later as a speaker, Governor Mutfwang commended the Church’s initiative as a positive step.
Governor Mutfwang encouraged the Church to maintain unity and steadfastness in spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ and underscored its pivotal role in the broader Nigerian Church context.
“We must not fail the church. May God ignite our hearts with this burden and fire, bringing glory to Him. To those who have labored here, may God bless you abundantly; may He help us finish strong.
“COCIN church is a pathfinder and a trailblazer, envisioning God’s spirit flowing through it to foster enduring unity across Plateau,” he said.
During the book dedication, COCIN President, Rev. Amos Mohzo, expressed gratitude for God’s enablement in documenting the Church’s history for future reference.
He encouraged the congregation to get a copy to learn about the church’s history, growth, and development.
Resident Pastor in charge of the COCIN Headquarters Church, Rev. Sylvester Dachomo, emphasized the value of a good conscience as a priceless treasure, fostering peace, tolerance, and right living with God and humanity.
He, therefore, urged the congregation to heed their conscience in decision-making.
