Awka Diocesan Christian Fathers Advised To Put God First

It was splendid at the Archdeaconry Quarterly Fathers Fellowship Meeting of Anglican Communion, Church of the Holy Spirit, Awka Diocese held at the Church of Holy Spirit, Paul's University, Awka last weekend.

 Christian fathers were called upon to put things of Christ first with a view to breeding godly home.

Rev. Sunday Eze, a Priest in the host Church, Church of Holy Spirit, made the call in a homily, while reminding fathers that God made them heads of their families in order to preach Christ in words and actions, as well as to super-head inculcation of moral and cultural virtues into their respective children and/or wives.

Rev. Eze, who lamented that fathers often disregard things of God and Church activities with unquantifiable excuses, advised them to take full responsibility of their homes copiously rather than apportioning same to mothers (wives).

According to him, fathers' would surely be queried sequel to their inability to bring these souls to God even when they had opportunity to do so.

He further reiterated the needs for brethrens to sheer distractions and serve God in truth and honesty just as St. Paul instructed brethren in 1st Corinthians 11:1-3.

In a short speech after the meeting, Chairman of the fathers' fellowship, Mr. Anayo Dimelu, affirmed that the fellowship would put-in its best in championing Christ works.   

Highpoint of the meeting was to discuss how to move the Church of God Forward.
