  …Urges believers not to fear opposition, conspiracies When the storms of life rage, opposition mounts and every human door appears closed, believers must remember that their ultimate hope is not in man, but in God. Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, gave this message of faith and reassurance on Sunday, August 9, 2026, as he ministered at All Nations Christian Ministry International, Eket, where he preached on the theme, “My Shield.” Drawing from Psalm 3:1-3, Governor Eno urged Christians not to interpret difficult seasons, opposition or conspiracies as evidence that God has abandoned them.
