Xmas: Christian youths urge Nigerians to pursue peace
The Youth Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria (YOWICAN) has urged Christians to follow peace with all men, as exemplified by Jesus Christ.
In a Christmas message on Tuesday, YOWICAN chairman in Enugu State, Chekwube Ani, felicitated the Christian faithful.
“During this Christmas, let us extend love to our families, friends, neighbours, colleagues, acquaintances and everybody around us as God did in John 3:16.
“Also, as the Christ we commemorate His birth is the Prince of Peace, we urge Christians to demonstrate and show peace with all men. Let us seek peace and pursue it in this season and beyond,” he said.
Mr Ani, a senior apostle, also called on Christians to use the season to move closer to God.
“Let us not get caught up in the commercialism of Christmas but instead focus on the values of love, joy and giving,” he said.
The YOWICAN chairman, however, commended Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State for his efforts at providing dividends of democracy to the people of the state.
While praying to God to grant the governor the grace to sustain the good works, Mr Ani urged the state’s people to support his administration to deliver more dividends of democracy.
