Clerics preach attitudinal changes
Clerics yesterday preached attitudinal changes as a way of developing the country. Their Easter messages laid emphasis on putting the country first.
“All should give their lives to Christ and mend their ways and begin to live their life according to the will of God. Speaking on the continued detention of Leah Sharibu by the insurgents, Muoka said that it behoves on everyone, not just the government to pray for the release of Miss Sharibu. “Over 2000 years ago, Christ paid the price for our sins. He was killed, buried and on the third day, he rose from dead for our justification.‘Christians are calledA priest of the Catholic Archdiocese of Nigeria, Rev. Father Alfred Ugochukwu, urged Christians to exhibit service to their neighbours as exemplified by Jesus Christ.He said just as Jesus sacrificed himself on the cross for the redemption of mankind, Christians must now emulate the way of Christ and his Church.
“Christ now calls us to service; service to brothers, sisters, friends, relatives, the Church of Christ and even to your enemies; Jesus portrayed this by his way of life and his journey to Calvary, and it is important for us to emulate him,” he said. “If we abide by the dictates of Jesus, then we can be rest assured that God will lift up every burden from our shoulders,” he said.
He said the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross and his resurrection on the third day from the dead had brought joy to those who believe in him. The cleric, however, urged Christians to always renew their spiritual lives to please Jesus Christ because his death should have a positive influence on them.
“When promises made in line with the aforementioned demands are fulfilled by the leaders, every other thing becomes a child’s play and simple,” he said.“Truth is eternal, it can never be buried so also do lies have an expiry date. No matter the circumstances, the truth will always prevail,” he said. “Kudos must be given to our own son, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, who is the Minister of Information and Culture, for his generosity toward this noble cause. We will forever remain proud and grateful for his magnanimity,” he said.
He said those Christians who were going to churches for wonders and miracles, and not after the salvation of their souls, should stop it.
