“You must exhibit the spirit of humanity as an example of the flock of Christ,be humble and show example to the people you are leading. Simplicity and vigilant are required from you all”.
The man of God, who took his word of admonitionfrom the book of 1 Peter 5:1-9, averred that they must be hospitable and ready to render assistance to those who come to them.
Speaking to journalists after, Elder Chimezie Ogbu, expressed happiness to God for the elevation, and promised to live up to expectation.
