For Reverend John Uuijiatalor, 50 years should not be a time
for eating and drinking, but a time to do something posterity
will remember him for.
Celebrating 50 years for him was a time to sow in the life
of people, hence, he launched a foundation to take care of
the poor and needy.
He told Daily Sun recently that, “50
years is significant in virtually every event of life, hence
it is represented with gold, which means something of great
value.”
He also spoke on the impact of the word of God on the country.
Impact of word of God
The word of God is making an impact despite the ups and down,
else, the situation could have been worse for us and for our
nation. However, we know that the impact it is making is not
enough, hence, the need to make more effort. The only way
for us to achieve this is to live a good life. This is necessary
because people who preach the gospel should be seen to live
a good life, they should not only be heard but also be seen
doing good.
The youth and the gospel
These young people, I believe, never had a good example to
follow, because a lot of us who are leaders should have been
mentors. We should be more concerned with mentoring others.
If they had seen a good example to follow, then we can blame
them.
They didn’t see good examples to follow, they all aspire,
whether wrongly or rightly, to be rich men and by so doing,
they run into problems. We will not excuse them, because ignorance
of the law is not an excuse. I believe in proper child upbringing
however.
