Be hospitable to one another to foster peace, attract blessings, says cleric

By David Okpala/Stella Okpala

The Vicar, St. Paul's Catholic Church, Akpo, Rev Fr Johnpaul Okechukwu has called on Nigerians, ethnic groups, to accommodate one another as to foster peace and attract blessings from Most High.

He made the call in a homily during Mass, at the Church, in Akpo, Aguata LGA.

The cleric said, "hospitality is requisite to attracting blessings of God. It is peace driven. With peaceful coexistence in any society, progress and development is assured.

"As humans, we ought to pray, work for what we want in life, yet God blesses according to his riches in glory, as it pleases him."

He sighted example of Shunem woman in the Bible who had riches without male child.

"Her hospitality to Elisha the Prophet attracted blessings of male child, even at old age.

"So, it is wrong for an ethnic group that have mineral resources to think that they do not need people from other ethnic groups."

According to him, you cannot have it all. God is even in distribution of amenities.

"Land, capital, labour and entrepreneur are all factors of production as such needed together to produce.

"No one survives an Ireland . We need each other to making better Nigeria."

He enjoined affluents to accommodate the poor within their neighborhood, give alms to them, emphasizing that God rewards gifts that do not demand pay back of any kind.

Fr Okechukwu urged everybody to give something to another, stressing that everybody has something to give.

"If you do not have money, you may have service to render.

"Good advice to young ones, tolerance, honesty, availability, good moral conduct are all virtues capable of making people stand out.

"Give these virtues to young ones, the blessings of the affluent that give resources belongs to you also. (MOI)
