The Youth Wing, Christian Association of Nigeria, YOWICAN, has called on Nigerians to use Christmas as a moment of sober reflection to redirect all thinking and actions towards nation building.<\/p>\n
The Chairman of YOWICAN, Enugu State, Mr Chekwube Ani, made the call in a Christmas message made available to journalists in Enugu on Sunday.<\/p>\n
According to Ani, Christmas should not be a time of festivities alone. It should be a moment of deep sober reflection.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cWe should take out time in this season to evaluate ourselves and the society to see how much we have appreciated and promoted the salvation work of God.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe gift of Jesus, whom we celebrate His birth during Christmas, is for reconciliation and salvation of mankind.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis gift of Jesus was borne out of love and is for all men, John 3:16. Therefore, let us take this season to reconcile with our maker and demonstrate love to one another as God did to us.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we celebrate the birthday of Jesus Christ this year, let us be mindful of who we celebrate; what He represents and what He does.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ani also appreciated Gov. Peter Mbah, for the massive work done in security, health, education, agriculture, road construction, water project, tourism and other infrastructural works ongoing around the state.<\/p>\n
