By Olu.Babalola Ibadan

Women who stormed the June programme of Women Intercessory Network (WIN)in Ibadan during the weekend were full of praises to God for the victory of many of them as Vice Chairmen and Councillors into local government councils in the just concluded local government council poll.

They described their victory as favour of God using the wife of the state governor, Mrs Florence Ajimobi as a vehicle for their victory.

Mrs Florence Ajimobi,the first Lady in the state and the initiator of the prayer programme , counselled them to be humble and render their selfless services in the councils where they were elected as Vice Chairmen and councillors warning that the feat should not go into their heads.

“It has been long that we have been praying for our women to rise up for greater calling. I am happy with the present development. It is not enough for you being addressed as Honourable.You are to prove that with your performance in your areas. God will give you the enablement,She said.

They were all prayed for by the Ministers of God who came to play different roles during the prayer programme which included intercession for the country, Oyo state,choruses and prophetic declarations.

Mrs Ajimobi said that She was grateful that the APC congresses did not witness bloodshed in the state and disclosed that all the women ministers would not relent in their efforts to sustain the existing peace in the state.

Women who featured during the programme included Rev.E.Oyetunji,Evangelist Funmi Aragbaye,Pastor Omowumi Popoola,Evangelist Toun Soetan and others with a message delivered by Oyetunji.

Mrs Oyetunji observed that there are always horns that are placed on children causing them stagnation,frustration and negative things capable of denying them breakthrough in life but assured that steadfast prayers of parents always destroy such horns.

She pointed out that there are always places prepared in the wilderness and horns on the way pointing out that whoever pray faithfully unto God would always overcome all forces of darkness because with God,nothing shall be impossible.

Admonishing those present to refrain from sinful acts,Oyetunji also advised them to pray for our leaders stressing that we should seek the peace of the country at all times.
