The Vicar of New Era Anglican Church, Onala in Ado Ekiti, Reverend Canon Taiwo Ogundare has urged Nigerians to remember the poor and the needy as they celebrate Christmas.
Canon Ogundare who made the call at today’s Church Service in Ado urged Christians to ensure that they put smile on the faces of the less privileged during the celebration.
The Cleric said that every Christian must remember the needy by extending the love of the season to them and also ensure they give genuinely.
“We must demonstrate the love of Christ by reaching out to the needy around us and we will see what God will do in return.
“It is a well known fact that the birth of Jesus Christ is what we are celebrating at this period, Jesus loves cheerful givers and never wants anyone to lack.
“Every Christian is expected to share with the needy by giving out gift items of any kind, anything worth giving out to make them feel a sense of belonging.
“A good Christian must not be selfish, remember the poor ones and give out to them for Christ to bless you the more,” he said.
Reverend Canon Ogundare explained that despite all the personal and collective challenges and struggles, the faithful should always remember that the good news of Christmas and the message never changes, as it is timeless.
