Ikpeazu charges Christians to reflect on character of Jesus Christ
…As Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints ‘lights the world’
Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State has charged Christian faithful to reflect on the character of Jesus Christ in their day to day dealing with others.
He also urged them to be fair with their neighbours, associates at working places in line with the injunctions of the Lord Jesus Christ which says “love your neighbour as you love yourself”.
Ikpeau gave the charge in Umuahia during an annual event organised by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Saints titled “Light the World One by One,” designed to guide Christians on Christmas.
The governor, who was represented by Anthony Chidi Agbazuere, his Chief of Staff, pointed out that Jesus’ Birth was miraculous, adding that every Christian must believe in God and expect his miraculous touch in their lives.
He commended the church for its commitment towards the propagation of the Gospel of Christ in Abia State and Nigeria and urged Christians to start the transformation of the society by the characters they showcase.
Ikpe George Nkanang, national public affairs director of the Church, earlier in his speech, disclosed that the event was aimed at guiding members of the church and others on the programme and activities to observe from December 1 till the Christmas day.
“To help light the world this Christmas season, the Church is encouraging people to think of someone they can help or invite and minister to them as the Saviour did, one by one every day,” he said.
Nkanang noted that a simple act, big or small could spread the light of Jesus Christ, adding, “This celebration inspires individuals, families, youth groups and congregations to emulate Jesus Christ’s example of service as is depicted in the Holy Scriptures.
