Pastor of Reigners Bible Church International, Uyo, Akwa
Ibom State, Apostle Akan Weeks, yesterday said he was not longer interested in
enthronement as a bishop.
Rev Weeks, who spoke from his hospital bed on a radio
interview programme monitored by our reporter in Uyo, said the battle was not
about him and his church but between the kingdom of darkness and the church in
the land.
Rev Weeks’ consecration service as bishop was in progress
when his church building collapsed on worshippers including Akwa Ibom State
Governor Udom Emmanuel.
He sympathised with the families that lost their loved
ones in the disaster and wished those injured speedy recovery.
He said: “Let nobody believe the speculation that I was
enthroned as a Bishop, the enthronement was cancelled completely and I am not
interested. I’m more interested in the souls of the people I have laboured for
to bring to God over the years since my tender age.
“I am so sorry and I sympathise with all the families.
Please, we should rise and pray together, we will win the battle.
“The incident that happened on Saturday during my
Bishophric Enthronement is very unfortunate I call to say that God is still on
the throne. Only God knows best and nobody can question him.
“And I want to say that for the departed souls and those
who are injured, God will give them quick and speedy recovery. I want to tell
every family that is in pain that our God is the healer.
“Let Christians in Akwa Ibom state know that this battle
is not all about Akan Weeks and his church, it is the battle between the
kingdom of darkness and the church in the land.
“I want to say a very big thank you to Governor Udom
Emmanuel, Medical personnel, others for their love and support during my trying
moment.”
In a statement signed by the Reigners Bible Church
International and signed by its Area Pastor, Anietie Daniel, the church said:
God will wipe away every tear from their eyes-Revelation 21:4.
