Aladekugbe warns Christians against deceptive life 

The Archbishop of Ibadan Ecclesiastical Province and Bishop of Ibadan North Anglican Diocese, Rev. Williams Oluwarotimi Aladekugbe, has called on Christians to stop living a dual life but instead totally commit their lives to the service of the living God through Jesus Christ the Lord and Saviour.

He gave the admonition on Thursday while delivering the sermon during the Diocesan Board meeting held at the Conference hall , Diocesan Headquarters, Moyede, Ibadan.

” Stop deceiving yourselves, on Sundays or other Christian events, you show yourselves as Angel, but outside the church, you are something else, that is dual life. You must know that you cannot serve God with mammon”, he said.

Drawing his Biblical references from Matthew 4: 18-22 and Romans 12: 1, Archbishop Aladekugbe said God is all knowing, saying “He knows us from the beginning to the end, He needs your total commitment so as to reap all the benefits attached to true Christian life.”

He used the occasion to remind Christians to observe the ongoing Lenten period which calls for soberness, humility, repentance, assistance to the poor masses and love for one another.

According to him, this is the better period to pray for our leaders for God to give them right sense of direction,  so as to deliver in protection of life and property and lead the country in accordance to the constitution they swore to uphold.

He assured the leaders and the led that if they obey God’s commandments, they don’t have anything to fear but instead they would lead a life of plenty and still inherit the heavenly kingdom.
