Warri — GENERAL Overseer of Proof of Christ Ministries Intl., Apostle Noel Eduje has urged christians not to hide problems that affect their lives particularly spiritual problems from their pastor as doing so will not help matters.

Apostle Eduje gave this advice during the celebration of the church anniversary at the weekend at the church headquarters situated at Okuokoko, Warri, Delta State .

Apostle Eduje enjoined christians to develop good relation with the man of God who will counsel and pray with them adding that everyman of God, called and ordained by God is anointed for signs and wonders and equally loaded with peoples blessings but you have to get close to him to tap these blessings.

The church minister who took his sermon from Exodus 6:6-9, Jeremiah 3, 3:8, Psalm 30:7, Isaiah 62:4, Matthew 7:7-15 said that with God all things are possible. According to him "let us begin to relate our problems to our pastors. Not all the problems you can solve by praying at home. When a problem is persistent or too big for you to handle, then you need to seek solution from God through your pastor. God told the Israelites that I am Yahweh your God, who deliver you from the hands of the Egyptians. I will bring you to the land I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as possession".

He noted that some of the reasons why Christians lack control over their blessings as fear of past failure and powerless Christians pattern, adding that some Christians tried to cast out demons but could not because their Christian life was a powerless one.

Apostle Eduje affirmed that the all knowing God has solution to all your problems and has asked you to call on him and will answer you call unto me and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not.

He stated that God knows your problem, but that you have to ask him for solution through prayer and deliverance "And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me, and I will pardon them all their iniquities whereby they have sinned and whereby they have transgressed against me."

He encouraged Christians to speak out when they have problems or troubled mind by telling their pastors their problems who will help them take their problems to God in prayer adding that Christians should not die in silence as there are solutions to their problems.
