Christians Are Today Celebrating Christmas, Amidst Unprecedented Economic Hardships

Christians in Nigeria are today joining their counterparts worldwide to celebrate Christmas, the birthday of Jesus Christ.

Despite the economic hardships, Nigerians since last week had been making frantic efforts to mark the day.

Today had been declared a public holiday for the celebration.

Today, Christian faithful would worship at their various churches.

Millions of Nigerians had travelled to their various communities, while the economic hardships forced others to celebrate it in their respective places of abode.

Unlike the previous Christmas, this year’s edition is being celebrated in a very low profile, due to the economic hardships.

However, present-day preachers and teachers have overturned His teaching and regulations meant to make Christians live stress-free lives, hence all the atrocities being committed daily in their quest to “make it” and prove that God has blessed them.

For whatever it is worth, we appeal to pastors, preachers, general overseers and ordinary Christians to go back to their book – the Holy Bible – which cannot mislead them when truly followed. Christ’s sermon, as recorded in the Scriptures, is still relevant today as it was over 20 centuries ago, especially in a nation like Nigeria that harbours many churches and many criminal gangs, many worshippers as well as many sinners, and insensitive leaders preaching peace and love but unable to guarantee same.

Nevertheless, we pray that Nigerians still find the peace and joy that Christmas brings even as they celebrate the festival amidst the prevailing economic realities.

Merry Christmas to all our Christian brothers and sisters!
