The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Oyo State chapter, has advised Nigerian Christians to remain united, focused and not to be complacent about national issues.<\/p>\n
The state chairman of the association, Apostle Joshua Akinyemiju, in an Easter message issued on Saturday in Ibadan, charged Christians to be proactive and get involved in political activities.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is righteousness that exalts a nation, so if people of God are in positions of authority, peace will reign and the economy will be managed with the fear of God.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose in position of authority should always make justice, fairness and equity in governance their watchword. They must rule or administer their constituencies with the fear of God.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur political leaders should remember the day of reckoning when everyone shall appear before the judgment throne of God.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we celebrate Easter 2024, we must take to heart the sacrifice and suffering made by Jesus Christ on the Cross.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlmighty God will renew and strengthen us spiritually, heal our land and remain gracious to us all,\u2019\u2019 he stated.<\/p>\n
Akinyemiju emphasized that Easter concluded the Passion of Christ which began with a 40-day period of fasting and prayers.<\/p>\n
He further stated that it should be a period for Christians to remember the ultimate expression of God\u2019s love to mankind that was exhibited more than 2000 years ago when Christ died for all, including sinners.<\/p>\n
He pointed out that Easter, also known as Resurrection Day, is a time to celebrate and mark Jesus\u2019 resurrection and ascension to Heaven, putting the Christian faith on a pedestal of hope to rest upon.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince God raised Jesus from the dead, nothing else really matters and no one can successfully argue that Christianity is not true.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Resurrection means Jesus is who He claimed to be; that He has the power He claimed to have and that He did what He promised to do.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must always exhibit a high standard of camaraderie as we love one another and continue to ask God for peace and security in Oyo State and in Nigeria as a whole,\u2019\u2019 Akinyemiju added.<\/p>\n
