CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION: DELE PHILIPS PREACHES PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE, LOVE AND MODESTY
The Vice Chairman of Asiwaju for President Movement in Ekiti State, Dele Philips has enjoined Christians in the state to emulate Jesus Christ as His birth is being celebrated globally.
In a statement, the leader of the All Progressives Congress urged Christian faithful to see this season as a time to reflect on the footprints of Christ regardless of the short period he spent on earth.
In his words, “today being Christmas day and celebrated all over the world as a mark of honour in remembrance of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, I want to enjoin Christians to learn from the characteristics of what Jesus taught, lived and died for”.
“Jesus lived a life centered on doing good to others, a life that prioritises service to others above self interests and a life that sees every obstacle as stepping stone to attract the blessings of God”, Dele Philips stressed.
The APC leader urged people, especially residents of Ekiti Central Federal Constituency 2 to use the season to pray for Nigeria and her leaders, urging prayers for Governor Biodun Oyebanji, calling for continued support for his administration to keep attracting development to the land and her people.
Dele Philips implored all Nigerians to go about the Christmas celebrations with a heart of gratitude to God and expression of generosity to the less privileged, particularly by those who are blessed with adequate resources in the society.
He noted that Christ’s birth brings hope and peace to the world, urging all to celebrate Christmas moderately.
