Devotees of Chukwnemeka Ezeugo a.k.a. Rev. King, founder of the Christian Praying Assembly, have marked his birthday in absentia, describing him as their God.
The members bought several pages of newspapers to congratulate King who is on deathrow.
A women’s group in his church, St. Faith Woman (Daughters of the Kingdom of God), in their advert in a national daily described King as the light of the world.
“Daddy, you are the light of the world, a nation without you is in total darkness,” the group said.
They also described him as God and said they are proud of him because he will lead them to the promiseland just like Joshua led the Israelites in the Bible.
“You are the unchangeable, unmovable and unstoppable God. We the entire members of St. Faith Women are happy because you are here on this earth to lead us to the promised land,” the group said in the advert.
Another devotee, Bishop Onyiliagha David King, while congratulating him, said: “This date is worth remembering and celebrating for mankind especially to me you raised from the dead on 11 September, 2013 when death came over me.”
He added: “By your command I came back to life, Daddy G.O. you are too much, even death obeys you, proving that you are the savior of mankind.”
Other devotees and group also congratulated and rejoiced with him on his birthday.
They are St. Peters of C.P.A Worldwide, Evan. Clement, Thaddeus Elochukwu Obiora and others.
Justice Joseph Oyewwole of the Lagos High Court on 11 January, 2007 sentenced King to death by hanging for the murder of Ann Uzoh and attempted murder of five other devotees.
The cleric appealed against the judgement at the Appeal Court, which affirmed the Lagos High Court verdict.
He then headed to the Supreme Court where the matter is still pending.
While he is still in prison custody, his church members are keeping his ministry alive.
