PRIMATE of the African
Church, His Grace, Rev. Emmanuel Udofia, has advised politicians to remain
focused and forgive one another, as that is the mark of God’s children.
He made this
known during his visit to African Church, Salem, Lagos, recently. He said: “If
we don’t forgive one another, nothing good will come out of it.”
He said they should be disciplined and be exemplary role
models, showcasing the qualities of Christ, as the light unto other people’s
darkness, for the nation, society and the Church to be the very best, to
happily live in and serve, at all times.
He added that whatever they do now, they should remember
that one day they would give account to God. “Wherever we are, we are there
because God wants us to be there. And one day, He will call us to give account
of it”.
He urged them to rule in the fear of God, noting “When they
have the fear of God in them, they will be able to plan well and do what they
want to do with passion.”
He also advised Christians wishing to go into politics to do
so but that they should have the mind of serving and not for how much money
will be earned in a month, how much money will come to his constituency or how
much money he will embezzle. Rather, they should go there with the heart to
serve their fatherland. “I believe if these was practiced, Nigeria will be a
better place.”
