Archbishop of Living Christ Mission Inc, Most Rev. Prof Daddy Hezekiah has urged Nigerians to keep hope alive amidst socio-economic challenges bedevilling the country.
Hezekiah who gave the charge in his Christmas and New Year message, warned against ingratitude, enjoining the citizenry to rather appreciate and reciprocate God’s love, blessings and goodness upon their lives.
He said, “No matter what we’re passing through, so long as we’re alive, there is hope. It’s not easy to survive a day in our country in particular and the world in general, considering the manifestation of evil occurences.
“In the face of the abominable things that are happening in the world today, do not lose focus or hope or your identity as a child of God, nor be tossed by winds of doctrines in conformity to this world.
“Instead, live a life worthy of your calling as a child of God so that after your sojourn here on earth, you will happily see God and live with him forever.”
Hezekiah who doubles as Proprietor and Chancellor, Hezekiah University, Umudi, Imo State, decried increasing idolatry and diabolic tendencies and other wicked practices among the citizenry.
He however insisted that God remained the only one to be trusted for perfect protection, prosperity and upliftment.
“The world is now full of wickedness and evil practices. Many have become very diabolic, destructive, enemies of God and righteousness.
“Many have abandoned the living God Almighty, in order to serve and worship Satan the devil. Therefore my dear ones, this is the time you need God more than ever,” he added.
While wishing christians across the world Merry Christmas, the Prelate urged them to take advantage of the season to spread genuine love and hope to others.
“Christmas is a sacred period in which someone will use to think deeply, how they have performed in the present year, about their successes, mistakes and failures and make amends for the following year.
“In living your life, just like Jesus Christ lived for us, try as much as you can to live for others, not just at Christmas, but everyday, to God’s glory,” he stressed.
