Use church as rallying point to effect change’ – NBA

According to Bartholomew Aguegbodo, Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association’s Ikeja branch, has said the youths should use the church as a focal point to bring about the transformation that the nation needs.

Aguegbodo, stated this during the Eko National Association of Sabbath Youths praise night titled, “Halleluyah” on Saturday.

He said, “Eko NASY praise night is worthwhile as it presents an avenue to rekindle hope in God and virtue that stands the test of time. It brings youths of various backgrounds and tribes together, giving them a sense of oneness.

“The ‘Halleluyah’ night was awesome. It was laying a foundation for appreciation for what we get from man and God. It gave us the opportunity to learn and partake in acts of appreciation.

“Looking at the society today; the desperation, the evil, the suffering that people go through, the youths should use the church as a rallying point to effect change through sharing of ideas and praises.

“The church needs to embrace platforms like this; organise seminars and conferences to help develop and build up careers as well as reposition youths for leadership roles now and in future.”

The chairman, Eko NASY, Nnaemeka Iwunze, speaking at the event appreciated the worshippers that came from far and near.

“I really appreciate each and every one that took out time to come celebrate Yahweh with us tonight.

“I urge youths to understand their place as children of the most high for He promises to bless the work of our hands. If we understand this, we will also understand that God is the master of processes. What we need to do is to work in line with his instructions, follow his process and he will bless us with both morning and later blessings.”
