A former Secretary to the Delta State Government (SSG) Comrade Ovuozourie Macaulay, has charged Deltans to live a life of sacrifice for the poor and needy.
In a message to mark this year’s Easter celebrations, he urged the people, especially Christians, to note that the season was an opportunity for them to extend their love to the down trodden in the society through sacrificial giving.
Macaulay, who is the Director General of the Warri, Uvwie and Environs Development Agency (WUEDA), argued that life was not all about self as judgement would essentially be based on what one did for others.
He stated that Easter was a celebration of the risen Lord, Jesus Christ because of the sacrifice he made for mankind and the hope he gave Christians by His crucifixion on the cross, pointing out that though Judas Iscariot’s role was a fulfilment of the gospel he was treated with disdain by humanity.
The former SSG said as children of God Christians should distance themselves from the character of Judas and live a life of sacrifice for fellow humans particularly the down trodden and the needy.
He prayed that the mercy and grace of God through the risen Christ, would be sufficient for all even as he wished the people a healthy, peaceful and happy Easter celebration.
