The head of a major Christian group in Nigeria thanked God that the country is still in one piece. Reverend Job Ayuba Bagat, president of the ECWA church, gave a Christmas message. He pointed to a tough year filled with economic problems, violence, political instability, and social issues. He expressed gratitude for divine protection and unity keeping the nation together despite all that.
He said the real meaning of Christmas is found through humble and sincere faith, not through loud shows or wealth. As Nigeria moves into the next year, Bagat called for more spiritual awareness among all citizens. He believes this faithfulness will defeat the plans of people wanting to cause evil. He also stated that God would guide the country's leaders toward righteousness and success.
He acknowledged families struggling with high prices and young people facing a shaky future. Communities are desperate for justice and peace according to him. Bagat argued the church must act as a bright source of hope during these times. He told people not to give up, saying the same higher power that preserved the nation will continue to do so. He finished by saying the light of their faith is stronger than any current darkness.
