Parishioners of Christ the King Catholic Church (CKC)Kurudu in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT)Abuja joined Ambassador Chris Ezema to celebrate his 20th Wedding anniversary on Sunday.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The occasion which was was\u00a0 flagged off with a Holy Mass officiated by Rev Fr Cyril Udom(OCD) was graced by a live band and Parade by the members of Man O War.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ambassador Chris Ezema who is a top ranking officer of the group was treated with a Special Guard of Honour after the 10 am Mass.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The occasion marked\u00a0 the unveiling of a book written by the couple entitled\u00a0 “family liberation and restoration and war against evil coverings”.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Speaking in an interview with the Publisher of Daily Echoes Media, Mr Ignatius Okorocha,Amb. Ezema expressed his gratitude to God for seeing through his marriage with his lovely wife, Mrs Theresa Ezema for 20years.<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
He said,”We have come to celebrate the goodness of God, mercies of God upon us within the last 20 years of marriage.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Marriage is full of ups and downs<\/div>\n
\u00a0and there\u00a0 is no marriage that does not have ups and downs. Once you starts staying together, you will\u00a0 begin to know yourselves better, you will begin to notice the weaknesses and strength but it is maturity that keeps marriage.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0“It is understanding that keeps marriage. It is faith in God that keeps marriage especially Christian marriage. When one understands that Christian marriage is a covenant, then you know that through the grace of God you will see\u00a0 that is God\u00a0 that has been keeping us through and will continue to see us through the rest of our marriage.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Also because of that understanding about 20 years ago when we were printing our wedding cards, we put a phrase there that not even death can do us part and we believe it. We are still reaffirming it even now.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On young men and women aspiring into marriage , he advised them to note that marriage is the will of God.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0“Marriage is God’s\u00a0 will and designed by God and God honours marriage and God does not want marriage to be a mere contract that you are in when it is convenient and out when it is not convenient. God should be part of every marriage till there is fulfillment in that marriage,” he noted.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On the economic hardship in the country, Ezema said,”marriage should be built on God and not on the economy because economy is never stable.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“You can not rely on economy for your survival but on God who is a solid rock and there is what is called sinking sand. Any other thing outside God is sinking sand. When you build your family on God it will stabilize and stand.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On the books that his family\u00a0 unveiled at the ceremony he explained that the books are for family liberation and restoration and war against evil coverings. He said , “The books will help families to be stabilized, stay together and fulfil their God’s giving destines.”<\/div>\n
