OKOH WARNS NIGERIAN CHRISTIANS AGAINST PRIDE.

ABUJA-Primate, Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Most Rev. Nicholas Okoh has admonished Christians to boast not of their achievements on earth, but acknowledge God in all their ways, as pride goes before destruction.

Okoh, who was speaking during a church service to celebrate Venerable Folusho Taiwo at 60 and 30th wedding anniversary at the Church of Holy Cross Anglican Communion, Wuye, Abuja, said man achieves nothing without God.

According to him, it is not by power nor wisdom but by the spirit of God that gives life, as wisdom of man is foolishness before God.

In an interview with newsmen, the celebrant, Ven. Taiwo, who is also the vicar of the Church of Holy Cross Anglican Communion, urged youths to imbibe the spirit of hardwork, saying God is taking Nigeria to her desired place among the comity of nations.

He said with the grace of God on Nigeria to make her the dream of our founding fathers, her youth must draw closer to God and acknowledge Him, while cherishing the virtue of hardwork to succeed in life.

“I want to tell the youths who are on the fast lane to take it easy.

There is fruit in hardwork, they should surrender everything in to the hand of God. They should not take short cuts,” he urged.

CMS ANNIVERSARY: BISHOP ORJI ADMONISHES CHRISTIANS TO EVANGELIZE THE WOR...

Every member of our Diocese is a missionary in North America because God has called us to salvation and sent us to proclaim his word. This is urgent partly because our culture is no longer Christian, in fact it is openly hostile to the Christian Faith. Our goal is to tell the good news of the atoning death and resurrection of Jesus to our pagan relatives, friends, colleagues and society with gentleness and respect so that they might repent of sin, believe in Christ and be sav ed. That is the mission of our Diocese. This entails sacrifice and shame and suffering. The CMS missionaries suffered and many died to give the gospel to Africa. Let us be willing to suffer to give this gospel to our nations again. We are not here to spread our version or your version of Anglicanism as wonderful as you may think it is. Rather we are here to spread the gospel primarily and hopefully in the process teach a godly expression of Anglicanism. Since we are Anglican missionaries sent by God to evangeliz...
