Cleric advises Christians to shun sinful life to attract God’s favours in 2024
The Bishop of the Diocese of Kwara (Anglican Communion), Rt. Rev. Sunday Adewole, has admonished Christians to shun sinful life to enable them enjoy the grace of God in 2024.
Mr Adewole gave the advice on Monday in his New Year sermon at the Cathedral of St. Barnabas, Sabo-Oke Ilorin, with the theme ‘New Beginning.’
He said Christians must cultivate the habit of removing negative thinking in their lives and stop seeing themselves as a failure.
He advised Christians to run away from sinful living if they actually want a new beginning in 2024.
“A Christian must run away from a sinful life to enjoy the grace of God. Make personal consecration and God will make His Grace available for you. You are expected to lead a sinless life and never accept failure tags. Rely absolutely on God,” he said.
The cleric also stressed the need to dress moderately to attract God’s blessings, noting that some dressings attract demons.
The bishop advised married women to stop chatting with men that are not their husbands.
He said, “This is new year. I urge married women to stop chatting with men that are not their husband, likewise married men should focus on their family and stop chatting with married women who are not their wives.’’
He advised Christians to break the bridge of sin and cut the link if they want God to interfere in their lives.
Mr Adewole also urged Christians to take a step of faith in 2024 and make good choices in the new year.
Besides, the cleric advised youths to shun quick money syndrome and wait for their time, saying that God’s time is the best.
