Rev. Samuel Ezeofor, Bishop of Aguata Diocese, Anglican Communion, has enjoined Churches, Archdeaconries and organisations in the Diocese to be entrepreneurial in order to stop too many levies on adherents of the faith.
Rev. Ezeofor made the call while admonishing Christians at the Aguata Diocesan, Men’s Fellowship Conference at St. Thomas Anglican Church, Umuchu on Saturday.
The bishop commended the Diocesan Men’s Fellowship for acquiring land at Ufuma for a proposed establishment of Block Industry.
He said that the Block Industry is not only going to boost the economic base for fellowship of the Diocese but reduce unemployment among youths.
He encouraged other organisations to follow suit, so that if they come to Church, they will worship God without talking about money.
He said that the Church is not making money from any other sources other than through levies and offerings, which is the reason time is wasted in raising funds instead of worshipping God.
The bishop, also admonished fathers to stop their children from perpetrating evil, citing the examples of Eli and Samuel in the book of Ist Samuel.
The Bishop noted that Eli and Samuel were priests ordained by God; while they did well as priests, they heard the voice of God and told the people what God said, yet their children were disappointments to God.
He tasked all to rise to the challenge of making their children, worth being outstanding sons and daughters.
The conference featured Communion service, Bible study, launch of the Constitution of Men’s Fellowship of the Diocese , praises by the Gospel Band of St. Thomas Church, Umuchu.
