In an address during the second service of the "Miracle Service" at Salvation Ministries on July 7, 2024, Pastor David Ibiyeomie proclaimed that the Hand of God Cathedral will draw visitors from around the world, becoming a significant landmark and tourist attraction in Port Harcourt.
Preaching on the theme "7 Keys to Unlock Your Miracles," Pastor Ibiyeomie emphasized the importance of persistence in the pursuit of miracles.
Drawing from Genesis 26:15-22, he illustrated how Isaac's unwavering determination in re-digging wells despite opposition eventually led to success. "Miracles are for the persistent," he asserted, urging believers to never give up in the face of adversity.
Pastor Ibiyeomie shared personal anecdotes about the challenges faced by Salvation Ministries, recounting the intense opposition the church encountered while establishing its headquarters.
He revealed that a group of neighbors and officials once campaigned to have the church removed, but their efforts were ultimately thwarted. "Our neighbors at the headquarters, not all, there were some good ones. They said, 'This church must leave this place.' They went from house to house to sign... When it got to the governor, the governor said, 'Ah! You should be happy that the church is there.'"
Despite these obstacles, Pastor Ibiyeomie noted that persistence and faith led to the eventual establishment of the Hand of God Cathedral.
He highlighted that significant opposition often precedes great achievements, stating, "Anywhere there is opposition, there is a big position. If God wants to give you a miracle, the first sign you will see is opposition."
He confidently declared that the Hand of God Cathedral would become a major tourist destination, attracting visitors from across the globe. "People will fly from nations to come and look at that place. It will become a tourist center. You can't come to Port Harcourt without visiting that place," he affirmed.
Pastor Ibiyeomie then encouraged the congregation to remain steadfast and persistent in their faith, assuring them that their efforts would ultimately lead to miraculous outcomes. "Those who want miracles don't give up easily. Be persistent!" he urged.
