Cleric Charges Christians On Neo-Paganism

Bishop Paulinus Ezeokafor of the Catholic Diocese of Awka,  has called on Christians to remain truly faithful to their faith  and shun neo-paganism which he described as the love for earthly things.
Ezeokafor gave the charge in his homily at Christ The King Catholic Parish, Isuaniocha near Awka, the Anambra capital yesterday.
He said Christians, who paid attention to earthly possessions such as wealth, beauty, intelligence, spouses, children, jewellery, cars, houses and others  had already relegated God to the background.
” Holding different public positions or serving in different capacities in Church without living a Christ-like life is a waste of time which will not take you anywhere.
”Think more about your spiritual life, eternity and how to serve God and mankind with that position,” the cleric admonished the faithful.
Ezeokafor also advised  Christians to be vigilant and be ready to fight in defense of their faith as well as show humility as the biblical John the Baptist and Jesus Christ did.
