Those in positions of leadership have been charged to remain connected and accountable to the people they represent by working for their best interests.
The Anglican Bishop of Aguata Diocese Right Reverend Samuel Ezeofor who gave the charge at Saint Andrew’s Parish Amako Nanka in Orumba North Local government area during a service to mark the triumphal entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem, reminded those in leadership positions of the need to emulate the simplicity and humility of Christ as they serve the people.
Bishop Ezeofor who described Jesus Christ as the greatest teacher and epitome of humility said that His Passion, trials, arrest, death and resurrection brought hope and salvation to mankind.
Right Reverend Ezeofor who is also the National Chairman of the Evangelical fellowship in the Anglican communion EFAC Nigeria charged those entrusted with positions to use such in impacting positively on the people, and regretted the hardship Nigerians are currently passing through in a country that is richly blessed by God.
Bishop Ezeofor stressed the need for the government to always carry the people along in making policies for them and cautioned against making policies that will cause more pain to the citizenry.
He charged Christians to always live Christ like Life in order to bring the needed transformation in the society, and regretted the gradual going back to Idolatry by the Youths describing it as a major threat to Christianity.
Right Reverend Ezeofor urged Nigerians especially the Christian faithful to use the period of Holy week in building bridges of trust, true love and total reconciliation warning the faithful against harboring grievances.
In a remark the Vicar of the Church Reverend Chukwuemeka Anyichie who thanked Aguata Diocese for choosing Saint Andrew’s parish Amako Nanka for this year’s Palm Sunday, charged the faithful to jettison those behavior that will continue to portray Christianity in bad light.
Two parishioners Mr. Azikiwe Ezeme and Dr Joy Obiora said the passion and death of Jesus Christ is the greatest sacrifice by the only son of God to salvage mankind and charged Nigerians to learn how to make sacrifices for the good of others.
The president of Aguata Diocesan Women’s Ministry Mrs. Chinyere Ezeofor, and some Diocesan officials were among those that attended the service which featured the symbolic waving of palm fronds by the parishioners singing Hosanna, meaning save us now as well as procession by the worshipers.
