Ogun State House of Assembly today conducted its carol of nine lessons with a charge to Nigerians to imbibe the essence of the period as exemplified by Jesus Christ, who symbolizes selflessness, love and sacrifice for mankind.<\/p>\n
The Speaker, Rt. Hon. Oludaisi Elemide, threw the challenge in his Christmas message, shortly after reading the ninth lesson taken from Hebrew 1: verse 1-12 at the Assembly Complex, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.<\/p>\n
Elemide emphasised that love, giving, selflessness and reminiscence were parts of the expectations of God from the righteous, noting that ” God does not want man to perish, he wants us to enjoy His first foundational plan for human beings that was lost in the Garden of Eden”.<\/p>\n
He called on the leadership in all spheres to be ready to sacrifice for the people, while advising Nigerians to celebrate with moderation and not over react to issues.<\/p>\n
He promised that with the support of his co-lawmakers, the Assembly workforce should expect more welfare programmes in the coming year.<\/p>\n
Earlier in his sermon at the event, the Pastor in charge of the Redeemed Christians Church of God, Ogun Province 15, Femi Ogbontigba, described Jesus Christ as a great counsellor and guidance that is always ready to show mercy in all matters, urging Christians to always keep faith with Him at all times.<\/p>\n
In his welcome address, the Coordinator of the Assembly Christians Chapel, Mr. Olanrewaju Olonade, noted that “Jesus as a great counsellor wants Christians to always have reason to rejoice, as He will continue to guide the righteous aright”.<\/p>\n
According to him, this season was an assurance of the need for Christians not to be afraid, rather, they should always rejoice in Christ in all things.<\/p>\n
Other lawmakers that read lessons at the Carol service included the Deputy Speaker, Bolanle Lateefat Ajayi as well as Honourables Oluseun Adesanya, Babatunde Tella, Damilola Soneye and Musefiu Lamidi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
