Christians have been reminded to fully utilize this Christmas period to extend love to one another and to the less-privileged in society.

Reverend Lawrence Adika of Molete Baptist Church, Challenge, Ibadan stated this during a sermon to mark this year’s Christmas celebrations.

Reverend Adika was of the opinion that without the extension of love Christmas celebration was incomplete.

In a message, the Pastor-in-charge, Molete Baptist Church, Reverend Edward Alabi, said all Christians while celebrating Jesus who is the reason for the season, must also emulate Him through doing good deeds and being charitable to the others.

Reverend Alabi urged Christians to not only celebrate the birth of Christ but also his death and resurrection.

Members of the congregation, who were well dressed for the serviced appreciated God for making them witness another Christmas despite the economic downturn in the country.

Easter services are ongoing in churches to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ after three days in the grave.

At Molete Baptist Church, Ibadan, the resurrection service was marked by special renditions and prayers as believers adorned in colourful attires engage in dancing and rejoicing.

In his sermon, entitled Efficacy of the Blood of Jesus, the Shepherd in charge, Reverend Edward Alabi assured Christians that the blood that was shed several years back was still efficacious.

Reverend Alabi charged all to continue to rejoice as their debts had been fully paid for by Jesus on the cross of Calvary.

The clergyman enjoined Nigerians to be prayerful and believe that the present challenges confronting the Nation would soon be a thing of the past.
