The Parish Priest Rev. Fr. Nkon gave several examples of the effectiveness of thanksgiving to God in Heavens, adding that a Parishioner came with a cow to thank God for beingsacked from the employment of Fidelity Bank adding that the sacked parishioner danced his heart out to God but, very sadly his spouse was extremely down cast as she joined her husband to the throne of God speaking further to the parishioners, the Parish Priest Rev. Fr. Nkon states that when he did ask the parishioner why the thanksgiving, he says that the parishioners says that the powers that be at the Fidelity Bank has shown him the way out of the system. 

But, he tells the parishioners that the sister-in-law of the sacked parishioner assisted him to get a more flowering and flourishing job at Shell Oil and Gas in Port Harcourt where his salaries and allowances runneth over and before one could say pronto that the parishioner came back for another thanksgiving celebrations with two cows and this time around his wife danced more than the husband expressing gratitude to God for the provision of a better opportunities as he added that thanksgiving opens the doors and windows of unimaginable blessings.

 

He did give another illustration that he went to Matice on a certain day and one particular woman came with three of her sons and she did buy three boxes of ice-cream for the three boys adding that when the woman handed over the ice cream to the first son, he thanked his mother, same applied to the second son, but, very sadly the third son never acknowledged his mother with gratitude, and pronto their mother took the ice-cream from him and shared between his elder one and the poor boy openly wept. The Parish Priest Rev. Fr.
