ENUGU- Traditional rulers have been advised to model their lives after Christ, acknowledging that power comes from God.
The Enugu State Commissioner for Local Government, Rural Development And Chieftaincy Affairs, Deacon Okey Ogbodo, gave the advice during the Royal Fathers' Banquet of the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International-Nigeria,(FGBMFI-Nigeria) held in Enugu, weekend.
Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International (FGBMFI) is one of the largest networks of Christian Businessmen in the world, Founded in 1952 with presence in over 80 countries.
Deacon Ogbodo urged the monarchs not to allow their positions to control them, urging them to adopt the servant-leader attribute of Jesus Christ to demonstrate good leadership.
He advised the royal fathers to be guided warning of severe consequences, especially for those who ignore God's standards, even as he admonished them to learn from king Nebuchadnezzar's punishment for his pride.
"The position you occupy is also the position of God and power is of God, the kingship is ordained by Him. For any king to succeed, he needs to acknowledge the-God-factor in all that he does.
"We have seen so many examples in the Scripture of kings that departed from the ways of God and the way they ended. The Bible says righteousness exalts a nation and sin is a reproach.
"The knowledge of God is prosperity and I also talked about Proverbs 25 vs 5, which says remove wickedness from the palace, from the kingship and rulership and then of course your rulership will be established in righteousness.
"Righteousness is key to success and to do otherwise is failure, that is my message for traditional rulers and that will enable the nation to grow," Deacon Okey admonished.
He observed that the traditional institution was important organ that no state could toil with, urging them to rule with human face.
The traditional ruler, Igwe Dr. Samuel Ikechukwu Asadu, (Ogadagidi), the Chairman of Enugu State Traditional Rulers Council, commended the fellowship for putting up the programme, adding that it was life transforming.
"To the glory of God,we are grateful to God for a day like this, that we were able to come together as a unit to address issues of kingship, rulership and the Church. We thank God for the message, it was a message of love." he said.
Earlier, the Regional Secretary, Palace Chapter South East Region of the fellowship, Dr. Obiora Ogbodo, said the purpose of the meeting was to encourage Royal Fathers to establish a chapter of the fellowship in their palaces.
"In palace chapters of the FGBMFI our target is to reach out to the royal fathers, communities and kingdoms, what we are trying to make sure is that they (royal fathers) inculcate the discipline and lifestyle of Jesus and emulate Jesus in their palaces and our communities thereby bringing good morales that will affect families, homes and society at large."
The Royal Fathers Banquet is part of the 2024 national convention of the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International with the theme, "I Come Quickly With My Reward."

Posted on Sep 07, 2024 at 01:48 PMEthical Leadership Centre, Enugu recognising visionary leadership is certainly a milestone towards 'making excellence the norm'. Big thanks to Chief Ben Etiaba for his tireless effort to improve our society and it's pillars.
Posted on Sep 10, 2024 at 09:51 AMYes Rangers! Our darling team was the hope of everyone across the niger to get thrilled and be happy. Rangers was the binding wire that bound the faith of the IGBO MAN together. Because the Igbos does not believe in anybody, rather the Igbo-man believes in self and God. He believes in what he can do for himself and others. Otherwise, how could a people in a war situation be cut off from outside world, they were not getting relief materials from the world bodies, no ammunition and the rest, and things got most trying and difficult. But in such horrible state of life, the IGBO-MAN produce the great bomb fondly called (Ojukwu bucket or Ogbunigwe) that destroys and kills in multiple folds, produced fighter jets which they used during the war, the Igbo-man produced his own fuel both for aviation and automotive uses. The Igbo-man started live again after the war with just twenty pounds only and excelled beyond imagination. Rangers FC was a reincarnated spirit of Igbo-man, that of course was the reason Rangers took over the football sphere in Nigeria shortly after it was founded in early 70's. Well let me come back before I go adrift Rangers International FC. I appreciate my brother Chief Ben Etiaba "Ifennia" founder Ethical Leadership Center Enugu, for the good job he is doing , especially in fishing out our men and women of substance who has paid their dues in their different callings and honouring them duly. Finally, my Congratulations goes to Dr. Joseph Ugboaja the Chief Medical Director Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi for his milestone achievement so far at NAUTH. I also congratulate the young enterprising Director of Rangers management board chief Ugboaku for his visionary leadership and achievements. God bless you all, and let the flame keep burning!
