Bishop Ezeofor Tasks Christians On True Discipleship

The Anglican Bishop of Aguata Diocese Right Reverend Samuel Ezeofor has cautioned Christians against working for God without knowing Jesus Christ.

In a sermon at Immanuel Parish Nawfijah in Orumba South Local Government Area during a service of confirmation and admission into Girls and Women’s Guild for all the parishes under Ezira Archdeaconry, Bishop Ezeofor stressed the need for Christians to be true disciples of Christ in order to win souls for Him.

He cautioned Christians against acts capable of debasing Christianity reminding them of the need to maintain their pride as the light and salt of the earth.

Bishop Ezeofor who is also the National Chairman of the Evangelical fellowship in the Anglican Communion EFAC Nigeria, while charging parents to see child upbringing as a collective responsibility, called on the church to rise to its cardinal responsibility of redirecting the society to the path of moral rectitude.

Bishop Ezeofor advised those that received the sacrament of confirmation and those that were admitted into the Girls and Women’s Guild to be vessels in God’s work.

He used the opportunity to charge those occupying Leadership positions to use such in touching the lives of the people.

On the November sixth Governorship election in Anambra State, Bishop Ezeofor called on the people to elect a Governor that has zero tolerance for injustice.

In a remark the Archdeacon of Ezira Archdeaconry Venerable Kamtoochukwu Obi who thanked Bishop Ezeofor for the visit described it as a morale booster to them.

The president of Aguata Diocesan Women’s Ministry Mrs Chinyere Ezeofor was among those that attended the service.

Sixty-eight candidates received the sacrament of confirmation, while twenty-Seven women were admitted into the Women’s Guild and ten girls into the girls Guild during the event.
