Awba-Ofemmili Stood Still As Christians Gather For 1st Matriculation Ceremony Of WOBATHEOIN/ ETERSONEAR Inauguration in Anambra

By Felix Oti ,Awka

Awba-Ofemmili in Awka-North, Anambra State Stood Still for Christians.
It was a gathering of the children of God in Anambra State. Though, some pretenders were also there. People who aided and abetted election rigging without shame. Others who cherish Jesus Christ and all He stood for also attended. The mighty and powerful were also present at Awba-Ofemmili, Awka- North Local Government Area.

That was on 25th, April,2026 at the Awba-Ofemmili Civic Center. It started at 11 am though some did African time. The theme was The Gospel. That attracts attention grabbing enough to draw the attention of all who gather.

The brain behind the event is an unassuming young and upcoming Pastor, Reverend Tochukwu Anaemenam. President of Word Based Theological Institute ( WOBATHEOIN). According to Rev Tochukwu, it’s a total Theological Institute where the body and the soul are fed together.

At the event , some students got enrolled into the institute whereas some men of God joined forces together to inaugurate “Eternity So Near Network” (ETERSONEAR) aimed to equip saints spiritually, Academically and practically.

According to the president of the institute, Rev Tochukwu Anaemenam: “Today, being 25th April, 2026, it is my pleasure to welcome and salute my own spiritual father Rev. Gerald Onugha to the first WOBATHEOIN Matriculation/Inauguration of Eternity So Near Network and Christian Believers Bible Mission ordination of Deacon and Deaconess.

MINISTERIAL LIFE

Between March and April 2012, God used the man that led me to Christ, Rev. Beniah Okeke. Through the dream of the night, God told me to go to Awba Ofemmili, that it will be there that I will fulfill my ministerial calling.

‘As a young evangelist who has not known much about the move of God in the area of ministry direction, I was somehow not well sure of what I received, though I was consumed by the voice that I heard. In the year 2013, after one year, I came to Awba Ofemmili.

“On that faithful Sunday morning, I decided to fellowship with the Grace of God Mission. After the service, the man of God, Pastor Nwabueze Lawrence told me that God gave him a message for me. He told him that He sent me to a place and I was in that place but doing nothing. He was the first person to confirm my mission to Awba Ofemmili.

“After that, I was moving from one church to another until I met a brother from my hometown by name Sunday Chikelu praying for his mother who was sick. To my surprise, I met a brother who was also praying for her. When I finished praying, he asked me “Where did God send you that you refused to go?” He added, “It’s there, you will receive it from God?”

“That statement convinced me that God truly spoke to me. In 2020, I came down to Awba Ofemmili with my family.

“At this juncture, I want to say a big thank you to my amiable wife for being there with me despite the years of challenges in my ministerial journey.

“After 2 years, that is to say in 2022, because of ministry challenges, I left Awba Ofemmili to Igbariam in Awka North L.G.A for another ministerial assignment.

In January 2023, I met a woman by the name, Sister Grace who called me and told me she had been looking for me for some time. She said the Lord asked her to tell me that He will use me to do something. She said that the Lord asked her to come and pick up the assignment before it was given to another.

“Since then I know I cannot run away from God. I then took a decision that brought about today’s ministerial success.
