Ortom expressed the hope when he met with the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, who was in  Makurdi  on Sunday for a programme.The governor, who has owed about five months workers’ salaries, said that God would  help  his government to settle the backlog of the salaries.He said despite the economic crunch that had affected the smooth running of his administration, God has been faithful and would intervene through the servant of God.The governor noted that the security challenges of the state had ended since the state was dedicated to God in May 2016.Ortom stressed the need for the people to serve God and obey Him, saying that is the only way to live in plenty and prosperity.Quoting from the Bible in Job 36: 11-12, the governor assured the people that God is the only source of prosperity, pointing out that God has a hand in his election because he was faithful to Him.He, therefore, pledged  that his tenure as governor would continue to focus on the glorification of God and service to the people.Adeboye said that God encountered man for the first time and spoke to him in blessing, taking his Bible passage from the Book of Genesis 1:26-28,He stated that God still encounters man even today as He did in the time of old, urging the people to draw closer to God so that He would bless them and establish them in dominionAccording to him,  a true Christian can still prosper despite the economic situation of the nation, adding that the plan of God for His people is to prosper.He also  prayed for the people to encounter God in a new dimension that will  catapult them into their blessings and dominions.Adeboye further prayed to God to give Gov. Ortom  wisdom to govern Benue well, so that the people of the state can rejoice.The Aper Aku Stadium which was the venue of the programme titled ”˜Divine Encounter’ was packed full with thousands of people from Makurdi and the neighbouring towns.
