PORT HARCOURT, RIVERS STATE — A cleric and author, Dr. Juanita King, has called for renewed commitment to empowering vulnerable members of society, particularly widows, disadvantaged children and youths, while urging families and communities to strengthen values that promote love, unity and national cohesion.
Dr. King made the call in Port Harcourt during the public presentation of her two books and the formal unveiling of the Honeycomb Revival Foundation, a non-governmental organisation established to provide practical support and empowerment for people facing difficult social and economic circumstances.
The two books, titled The Mystery of the Rib: God’s Master Plan for Marriage and The Prison Called Unforgiveness: I Deserve a Second Chance, focus on marriage, forgiveness, personal healing and the restoration of broken relationships.
According to the author, the books were written as practical guides for healing troubled homes and restoring dignity and hope to individuals dealing with emotional and relational wounds.
Explaining the motivation behind the establishment of the foundation, Dr. King said it was born out of a conviction that genuine spiritual revival must translate into practical acts of compassion and service to humanity.
She said her encounters with widows struggling to survive, children deprived of educational opportunities, directionless youths and families facing severe hardship convinced her of the need for a platform that could move beyond advocacy to direct intervention.
“The Honeycomb Revival Foundation aims to be a channel of hope, restoration, empowerment, and transformation,” she said.
Dr. King disclosed that more than 100 widows were already benefiting from the foundation’s support, expressing optimism that the organisation would extend its reach through partnerships with individuals and organisations that share its vision.
She also challenged privileged Christians to move beyond preaching about God’s love and demonstrate that love through tangible interventions in their communities.
“The Honeycomb represents sweetness, healing, nourishment, and refreshment,” she said. “We desire to bring hope to the despairing, comfort to those in pain, and opportunities where doors have remained shut for too long.”
She called on individuals, corporate organisations and faith-based bodies to partner with the foundation in building a sustainable platform for compassion, empowerment and social transformation.
The Chairman of the occasion, Chief Johnbosco Ike, commended Dr. King for combining her literary work with practical efforts aimed at restoring individuals and families.
He described the two books as timely contributions to moral and spiritual renewal, noting that their messages could provide encouragement to people seeking healing and freedom from emotional burdens.
“The messages in these books bring freedom and healing,” Ike said. “But beyond writing, Dr. King has gone further to establish the Honeycomb Revival Foundation, a platform that will empower lives and demonstrate hope through practical service.”
Reviewing The Mystery of the Rib: God’s Master Plan for Marriage, Dr. Daughter Nnamdi described the publication as a scriptural guide for couples seeking to build enduring and fulfilling marriages.
She said the book did not merely examine the challenges confronting contemporary marriages but also offered practical hope and directed readers to biblical principles as a foundation for successful family life.
According to her, the author places particular emphasis on forgiveness as an essential ingredient in sustaining family relationships.
Dr. Nnamdi also praised Dr. King for presenting the subject in an accessible and relatable manner, making the book useful to readers navigating the realities of marriage and family life.
Reviewing The Prison Called Unforgiveness: I Deserve a Second Chance, Apostle Kevin Enyinnah described the book as a masterpiece and a prophetic instrument for personal liberation.
He stressed the destructive consequences of prolonged resentment, using the familiar analogy that holding a grudge is like drinking poison while expecting another person to die.
Enyinnah said the book presents a pathway towards freedom by encouraging readers to acknowledge wrongdoing, make the decision to forgive and release relationships from the grip of past hurts.
He noted that Dr. King also makes an important distinction between forgiveness and forgetting, teaching that forgiveness does not erase the past but prevents it from controlling one’s future.
The event attracted clerics, traditional rulers, women leaders, community stakeholders and other dignitaries from Rivers, Imo, Abia, Anambra and other states.
Guests and supporters also made donations towards the promotion of the two books and the activities of the newly unveiled Honeycomb Revival Foundation, underscoring the broad support for its vision of extending hope and practical assistance to vulnerable people.
With its initial intervention already benefiting more than 100 widows, the foundation is expected to expand its programmes through strategic partnerships and community-based initiatives aimed at education, empowerment, family restoration and support for disadvantaged people.
