The Vicar of Saint Paul’s Catholic Church, Abba, Njikoka Local Government Area, Reverend Father Jude Nebeife has reminded Christians that God demands that they make efforts to attract His blessings.

In his homily during a Holy Mass at the Church, Reverend Father Nebeife said the miracle in Canaan was possible because people listened and obeyed by performing the task of filling empty jars as Jesus’ mother, Mary advised.

Religion Correspondent Amaka Chibuzor-Okoye reports that Reverend Father Nebeife regretted the dearth of love and unity among Christians, whom he urged to live according to God’s dictates, and be the Jesus Christ others see daily.

While encouraging Christians to support one another in using God’s gifts to serve Him and mankind, Reverend Father Nebeife assured that God is ever faithful in his promises to man, urging Christians to remain steadfast in resolutions taken for new year.

At Saintt Augustine’s Anglican Church, Abba, the Vicar, Venerable Daniel Onwuka, who spoke on the theme, “manifesting His glory”, said there is nothing God cannot do for mankind, recalling how Jesus Christ turned water into wine in Canaan when all human efforts had failed, signifying that Christ power is supreme.

Venerable Onwuka urged those doubting what God can do in their life challenges to have a rethink, assuring that God is ever faithful to his promises to mankind.

He further called for steadfastness, dedication and persistence to the things of God, noting that Christians should pray ceaselessly to overcome challenges that might come their way.
