The Parish Priest, St. Paul's Catholic Church, Akpo, Rev. Fr. Cyriacus Ubah has advocated perseverance to life adversities, describing it as requisite to achieving God's purpose of every circumstance.
He said this in a Homily during special Mass geared at uniting Akpo families, at Obi Umuokpalagbagosi Family, Agbelu Village, Akpo, in Aguata LGA, on May 12.
The cleric said, "Human existence is synonymous with challenges, these challenges are part of growth and development. The earlier we develop spiritual/ physical muscles to bear them, the better for us. Blaming fellow humans for problems, do not change them but later complicate them.
"If God has allowed any challenge to come to you, there must be a purpose. Only perseverance will make you get to the purpose of the problem.
"If there is no test, there will be no testimony. So, accept life challenges, follow God's principles which include constant prayers for his mercies, hard work, love for one another and God to solving them."
Fr Ubah enjoined young people to turn to God wholly, eschew idolatry, describing it as worsening life challenges instead of solving it.
The Holy Mass featured special prayer of unity, peaceful coexistence, progress, breakthroughs and open doors for Umuokpalagbagosi family at home and Diaspora.
