Ossai Ovie Success, an aide to the Delta State Governor, has voiced his concerns over the recent N105 million donation made by music star Rema to a branch of Christ Embassy in Benin. The donation, which took place during a church service, was accompanied by Rema’s personal testimony about the support his family received from the church after his father’s death. He praised the church for opening a shop for his mother, which helped her care for him and his siblings.
While Success acknowledges the generosity of Rema’s contribution, he expressed disappointment that the singer made such a substantial donation without having formally dedicated his life to God. According to Success, true spiritual value comes not from financial gifts but from a personal commitment to faith. He emphasized that God desires a heartfelt relationship rather than mere monetary offerings.
Success commended Rema for his willingness to support the church but argued that without a genuine spiritual commitment, the donation may not hold the spiritual significance that it could have. He urged Rema to recognize the importance of surrendering one’s life to God, suggesting that the most valuable offering is a life devoted to divine service.
In his statement, Success highlighted the need for believers to use their talents and resources to advance God’s kingdom and bring others to faith. He expressed hope that Rema’s donation could be a stepping stone toward a deeper spiritual journey and encouraged the singer to align his actions with a true commitment to God.
