A
gathering of men at Kingdom Men Global Network’s Inaugural Men’s Breakfast
Roundtable in Port Harcourt over the weekend, unanimously agreed that God’s
mandate is for the man to make right anything going wrong around him - whether
in the home, at the work place or in the larger society.
Rubbing
minds on the event theme, ‘Fix the Men Fix Nigeria’, the men expressed
deep concern about poor political leadership in and outside the state, the challenges
of youth restiveness and economic and social decline and concluded that deploying
the tools of Iron Sharpens Iron and other programmes of Kingdom Men nationally
will help fix the men who will in turn fix the nation.
Organised
in pursuit of the ministry’s national and global vision, to help raise and
disciple Christ-like men for leadership in diverse areas of life, the events
marked the inauguration of Kingdom Men in the Niger Delta region.
The
inauguration activities were held on Friday November 18 and Saturday November
19, 2017 at the Hub Event Centre and it attracted a good number of men and
youths from Port Harcourt and neighbouring Bayelsa state.
Public
awareness of the programmes were made weeks before the event and sensitisation
was sustained when the Chief Vision Steward, Reverend Remi Akano and a member
of the ministry’s Board of Trustees, Reverend Professor Phillip Okerentugba
went on air at one of the city’s leading radio stations, Love FM, inviting men
to the programme.
At
the end of the Friday evening programme, a record eight Iron Sharpens Iron
(ISI) study groups were established in Port Harcourt and one in Bayelsa state
as pioneers of the small group study, discipleship, prayer and accountability programme
of Kingdom Men.
The
Saturday MBR inauguration in Port Harcourt was unique in many ways. It provided
a platform to formally launch the International Men’s Day (IMD) in Nigeria for
the first time and this was anchored between Apostle Frank Aikins, President of
Kingdom Covenant Ministry International, KMEN’s Chief Vision Steward and the
ministry’s member of BoT. This year’s theme for IMD is: Celebrate Men and Boys.
Speakers
at the MBR, Reverend Remi Akano and Reverend Professor Phillip Okerentugba, addressed
the theme, Fix the Men, Fix Nigeria.
In
his closing remarks, Captain Samuel Olarewaju expressed satisfaction over the
response of men in Port Harcourt in embracing the Project ISI and attendance to
the Men’s Breakfast Roundtable. He urged that in the days ahead, their lives
should exemplify those virtues that Jesus Christ represents.
Among
those who graced the IMD/MBR Saturday programme included Church leaders, a
member of the Rivers State Executive Council, and coordinators of men’s fellowship
from some churches, youths and politicians.
