As the Yuletide subsists, believers all over the world have been enjoined to eschew all manners of social vices and see the season as a period to replicate the various great traits of the Saviour, Jesus Christ.
The state Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Center, Umuahia, Abia State, Pastor James Msonter aka. Egbeligwe gave this charge during an interactive session with Famous Reporters at his Umuahia residence, the state’s capital, stressing the urgent need to imbibe the attributes of Christ to mark the celebration.
Pastor Msonter described the resurrected Jesus Christ as an epitome of love and selflessness, whose death on the cross, he said, gave yield to the reconciliation of man with God, as he urged believers to emulate same nature in the course of the celebration.
In his words: “Nobody is unaware that Christmas is about the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the whole world. Everybody has a birthday and incidentally the birth of Jesus Christ has become the most important birth in the world.
“Christmas should be a season to emulate what Jesus Christ represented, the values of Jesus Christ. It’s a season to display the attributes of Christ. Jesus Christ was selfless; His death on the cross shows the degree of his selflessness. It is expected that children of God will be selfless and generous. It’s a season of sharing; there are people who don’t know what love is that are expected to benefit from.
The renowned Clergy regretted that to certain persons, the Yuletide is perceived as a period to be exhilarated by some spiritous drink, as he reiterated that the Yuletide was rather a season of sober reflection
that is when to Some people orchestrate all manner of vices
“Some people think Christmas is a season of drinking, it’s a season of looking for women to sleep with. There are people that buy drugs, they drug women and sleep with them. To some, that is time to show their vices but Christmas is not a time to orchestrate vices.
Earlier in his sermon on Christmas day, pastor Egbeligwe restated that the coming of Christ on earth was in his bid to represent the father, as well as extend the undying love of the father to humanity.
“He came as an extension of the peace and love of God and has called us to extend same love to humanity because God cannot be seen physically so it’s about extending the love of God. So, Christmas is a time of showing practical love, share your food, gifts, money and other things with people.
“If you celebrate Jesus Christ and you don’t represent what he stands for, then the celebration is incomplete”, he said.
Speaking on the topic: ‘The Ultimate Gift’, Egbeligwe described the Saviour, Jesus Christ as the Ultimate Gift given to humanity by God, pointing out that “it takes an ultimate gift to solve ultimate problems.
“Until the ultimate gift is applied, people end with ultimate problems. Jesus is the ultimate gift to humanity. He came to be the leader of the kingdom government of God according to the gospel of Isaiah 9:6,7; he came to counsel us out of our confusion and to extend to us the might of God”, he added.
