He called on Christians to understand that the death of Christ brought salvation to mankind and therefore should be celebrated with caution and fear of God.
He appealed to Christians to always ponder over what Jesus Christ went through on the cross of Calvary for humanity sake, pray for forgiveness of sins and turn a new leaf.
The Accountant General urged Christians to acknowledge the fact that they never worth dying for, but because of exceptional love Christ has for mankind that made Him to physically offer Himself as a sacrificial lamb; passed through pains, affliction and all forms of torture for the sake of humanity.
Pastor Uwem Andrew, while calling on Christians to see the season as opportunity to spread the gospel, win and convert souls to Christendom, advised against using the season for ungodly practices.
