Uphold Integrity in ministry

Dr Mike Okonkwo at the first Communion of Covenant Ministers International (CCMI) 2011, held at TREM Dopumu located along Lagos- Abeokuta express Road admonished his fellow ministers to uphold accountability, integrity and up-rightness in ministry.

While delivering his message, the convener, who is also the Presiding Bishop of TREM reminded all his listeners that God is still faithful and able to do what he said he would do and to ensure his servants fulfill ministry and reach full potential.

The clincher however, is that his servants must keep and fellow kingdom principles. They must not be moved by what is happening in the body of Christ, especially around charlatans who claim to be servants of God.

The CCMI is another forum through which Dr Mike Okonkwo reaches out to and encourages his fellow ministers to hold on to God against all odds and challenges in ministry
