His Eminence Eze Dr. Eberechukwu Oji stated that the purpose of the Christmas Carol was to appreciate God for His mercies, especially as the year comes to an end. He affirmed that God had honoured the people of the Arochukwu Kingdom and had strengthened the path for all sons and daughters of the Kingdom.
“I’m so happy that the sons and daughters of Aro returned to honour God on this occasion. Good things have started happening in the lives of Umu Aros.”
Speaking on Tuesday at the Christmas Carol and Nine Lessons organized by Nzuko Aro Worldwide, held at the Civic Center, Oror Arochukwu, he urged the people to always return to their roots and prayed for God’s blessings as they come back to their base.
“The year has not ended, and we will all see the end of the year. We will also enter the New Year and complete it. It shall be well with all the sons and daughters of the Kingdom. You will never lack what to eat because we have decided to use this night to honour God; God will never abandon you. It shall be well with you.”
The Guest Preacher, Rev. Barr. Precious Okereke, urged Christians to emulate the humility of the birth of Jesus Christ and to celebrate the yuletide with empathy, especially towards the needy in society.
He called on Christians to imitate the life of our Lord Jesus, whose significant birth continues to hold meaning even today.
Present at the event were Eze Ibom Isii HRH Eze Amos Okorie, President General of Nzuko Aro Worldwide Sir Nnadozie Udensi, Apostle Joshua, Pastor Nwazue Sunday Okechi, Sir Ernie Onwumere, and many others.
