Lent: Vicar urges Nigerians to make Christ centre of their lives

Published by

THE Vicar of St. Timothy’s Anglican Church, Sango-Ota, Ogun State, Venerable Emmanuel Adekoya, has called on Nigerians to put Jesus Christ at the centre of their endeavours in order for God to carry out His purpose and will for the nation.

Adekoya, who made the remark during a sermon at the special Lenten Service held at the church, said this was necessary so that the people and the leaders will be able to discern the will of God for the country.

He noted that for a greater nation, Nigerians should make judicious use of the ongoing Lenten period to move closer to God, thereby building strong and sustainable spiritual lives through fasting, praying and giving.

The cleric, who bemoaned the increasing spate of kidnapping, assassinations, devastation and widespread corruption in the country, explained that the only solution was for Nigerians to turn to God in prayers.

Venerable Adekoya described the ongoing 40 days of fasting and prayer as a period of sober reflection.

He also appealed to Christians all over the world to use the Lenten period to pray for one another, for the church and the family.
