Easter Message
Message on the Occasion of Good Friday
I extend Good Friday greetings to all Christians in Oyo Central and Nigeria, as we're celebrating the Good Friday I urge us to live with the Christ message that every day, each one of us, should have a genuine divine communication with God and when we commune with God, our lives will be transformed, experiencing the radiance of the spirit, as we recognise that the kingdom of God awaits us.
To the poor and the vulnerable, Christ gave hope telling them, have faith, the kingdom of God is theirs; to those in sorrow He said they shall be consoled. He told the lowly they will inherit the land. Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness will have their fill. Mercy will be given to those who show mercy to others.
Blessed too are the peace makers, for they will be called sons of God and those persecuted for holiness sake, the reign of God is theirs. Blest are those they insult, persecute and utter every kind of slander against because they are His followers. Overall, they should all be glad and rejoice for their reward is great in heaven.
Christ was blasphemed for carrying this comforting message. Later He was betrayed on the same night He broke bread with His disciples then denied by one of them.
Today, the Christian community recounts the story of Good Friday; His last supper with His disciples, His arrest by Roman soldiers, His gruesome torture and how He was made to carry the cross on which He was eventually strung.
Public humiliation and death by crucifixion was the final reward for this messenger of God.
All of the events leading up to the crucifixion of Christ speak volumes as to the character of the man.There are many lessons to be learnt from the life of Christ; Lessons of Love, Perseverance, Faith and Hope.
Let us today transform our love of self, our love of family, and Nigeria and be motivated just like Christ and persevere in the face of our current difficult situations.
Let us recognise that many among us have lost their way, and need to find a path back to a spiritual life. Let us, on this Good Friday, as Christ called upon us, be our brothers’ keeper. Let us resolve to help our brothers and sisters find the path, which Christ set out for us all.
Let us pay spiritual attention to His messages of Faith and Hope, as we pray for a united Nigeria. On the auspicious occasion of Good Friday, I am sending you warm wishes for a day full of goodness, joy and smiles with your loved ones.
Have a safe and reflective Good Friday.
Happy Holiday.
God bless Oyo Central.
God bless Federal Republic of Nigeria.
