history and they know where they came from. They have a story and they told their story. They have their origin. They are people of God’s own state, in God’s own country. They have a song, they sang their song, the Lords song  in God’s own country. They had a gathering, there gathering was like the gathering of the mighty waters. They soared like an eagle, they rose like mighty ocean, they roared like the lion, they danced and made a joyful noise. They have an identity, they are called, The Ngwa United State Association (NNAUSA). They had a sermon from the preacher, a street sweeper a leader and the governor after God’s own heart in the gospel according to Ikpeazu  1: 1-3, at the sermon in Stamford, Connecticut saying;

Verse 1

Come let us build this house

Blow your trumpet loudly because if you don’t blow your trumpet nobody will blow it for you.

Tell people that there is something beautiful about our place

Talk about our place gloriously

We are not of the king’s court

We should not be too comfortable of the king’s court.

Verse 2 

It is important to be loyal to ruler ship but most importantly to God

For success to come, opportunity has to meet with preparation

Consultation is very important in whatever we are doing as it is important for all of us to pull in one direction. If we don’t pull in one direction, we may not understand the threatening situation.

Verse 3

If we are not strong spiritually, there is little or nothing we can do physically.

Kings will not sleep over your circumstances.

The time to battle for the restoration of our land is here. And the little ones in our care may be called to the kings table anytime.
