The Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries on Saturday gave out financial rewards of N91m to its members who graduated in First Class from different universities across the country.
The
General Overseer of MFM, Dr Daniel Olukoya, made the announcement in
Lagos at the monthly live broadcast programme of the church, tagged,
‘Power Must Change Hand’, which was monitored in Abuja.
He said
180 First Class graduates in the 2014 academic year and two others, who
received NYSC Presidential honours after completing the National Youth
Service Corps scheme, would get N500,000 each.
Olukoya said the
First Class honours award, which started with 12 students, had risen to
180, explaining that it was meant to encourage hard work among students.
He
said the award was put in place to reward members of MFM, who were
dedicated to their academic work, while also creating time to serve God.
A
pastor, Shade Olukoya, and Vice Chancellor, Obafemi Awolowo
University, Ile Ife, Prof. Bamitale Omole, presented the award to the
recipients.
Omole lauded the recipients for their dedication to their academic work and also serving God.
He commended the students for making themselves, families and the church of God proud through their hard work.
Omole
urged the recipients to appreciate the grace of God upon their lives,
noting that many of their peers, who started with them, could not
complete their courses for different reasons.
He called on other churches to emulate MFM by encouraging hardworking students through similar awards.
