The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Oyo State chapter, has advised Nigerian Christians to remain united, focused and not to be complacent about national issues.
The state chairman of the association, Apostle Joshua Akinyemiju, in an Easter message issued on Saturday in Ibadan, charged Christians to be proactive and get involved in political activities. “It is righteousness that exalts a nation, so if people of God are in positions of authority, peace will reign and the economy will be managed with the fear of God. “Those in position of authority should always make justice, fairness and equity in governance their watchword.
Akinyemiju emphasized that Easter concluded the Passion of Christ which began with a 40-day period of fasting and prayers. He further stated that it should be a period for Christians to remember the ultimate expression of God’s love to mankind that was exhibited more than 2000 years ago when Christ died for all, including sinners.
