The Archbishop of the Province of the Niger and Anglican Bishop of Awka Diocese, Most Reverend Alexander Ibezim, says the birth of Jesus Christ offered humanity the opportunity to be rescued from earthly wickedness.

Most Reverend Ibezim stated this in his Christmas message delivered at Emmaus House, Awka, on December 24, 2019.

He stressed that the season called for adherents to be spiritually connected to the Almighty God to help them achieve personal transformation, which would invariably impact positively on the society.

Most Reverend Ibezim charged Christians to guard against greed in their dealings, and to always embrace reformation in character and attitude as a way of drawing closer to God.

According to the Anglican Archbishop, Christians should show concern to their neighbours by offering hope to the needy among them.

He frowned upon the activities of false preachers in the Christendom, noting that their  teachings negate the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Archbishop Ibezim further admonished political leaders to put measures in place to reduce the level of poverty and unemployment in the country as a means of enhancing security.

He explained that as leaders, they were placed by God to help citizens meet their needs, instead of using their positions to create more problems for the people.
