Friday 24th December 2021: President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, Bishop Wale Oke, on Friday, urged Nigerians to have hope and not be shaken by whatever harrowing experience they might be going through presently as the birth of Jesus Christ which is being celebrated around the world, represents hope and joy for mankind.

Bishop Oke, gave the encouragement in his Christmas and New year message and counselled that the birth of Jesus Christ offers an opportunity to the people for them to commit their ways to God and be truthful in their earthly service to humanity.

He said: “This season which celebrates the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ, represents hope and joy for all the people of the earth. So, regardless of the situation we find ourselves, this opportunity given to you and I on a silver platter,shows that we should be more than grateful by serving Him, the Almighty, with everything in us.”

He also called on the authorities in the country to double up efforts in confronting the challenges facing the people in all forms, saying: “Our government at all levels, should continue to work relentlessly towards making sure that our security, economic and political challenges, among others, are turned around for the good of the country and its people. Our economy should be knocked into shape by revamping it so as to bring down, high cost of living in the land.”
