DR. GODSPOWER TOMONE’S EASTER MESSAGE TO BURUTU INDIGENES AND DELTANS.

…”Easter is an event that commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. It also symbolises Christ’s victory over sin and death.”

Apst. Godspower Tomone has extended his heartfelt felicitation to all Christians in Nigeria and around the world as they celebrate the Easter season. He called
on christians to imbibe the virtues of love, sacrifice, dedication and compassion associated with the season.

He noted that the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for humanity is an emphatic lesson for leaders and all Deltans to yield to selflessness and compassion, and be steadfast in the pursuit of a united, peaceful, and prosperous State.

“This season holds a special meaning for all Christians. Jesus Christ was crucified on trumped up charges of violating Roman laws. The fear of death drove His disciples to run from him, because they were afraid to share His fate. But a few days later, the same disciples were found preaching the gospel boldly, their fear of death broken because Jesus Christ conquered death”, Dr. Tomone added.

The victory of Jesus Christ over death should liberate us from the fear of death. That He went through the humiliation He did for our sake should provide us with a lesson in public service and a template for us to place public good above our personal comfort.
Therefore, as we mark this momentous event of Easter, let us find comfort in our shared commitment to unity, and find strength in our common aspiration for a greater Burutu Local Government and Delta State. Let us think in terms of what we can do for our Local Government and State and not the other round. Let us think in terms of justice, fairness and equity in this season of love.

Let the words of the late American Civil Rights activist, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. that “we are all bound in a single garment of destiny,” resonate in us. Let those who seek to divide us with politics be reminded that Christ said it was through loving one another that one can prove himself as being a true disciple.

Let the lessons of Easter, therefore, inspire us to make sacrifices for the unity and progress of our Local Government, State and Nation. Let the life and teachings of Jesus Christ inspire us to strive for a world knit together by love, and a State bonded in brotherhood and a nation united in diversity. As Easter stands out as a perfect example of unconditional love, let us give unconditional love to our neighbors and share love with the less privileged.

Please accept my best wishes for a Happy Easter Celebration. God bless you all.
