Prelate Methodist Church in Nigeria, Dr Oliver Ali-Aba, has urged Christians to the credit to God for his unconditional love for humanity.
The Prelate made the disclosure while speaking to Journalists about Christmas at the headquarters of the church in Lagos Island on Sunday, December 25, 2025, adding, “We have to give credit to God for his unconditional love to humanity, and that has led us to have this day today.”
Responding to a question on the economic hardship in the country, the great man of God said, “I want to say, this day a saviour has been born, and that settles human economy. The Labour we would have laboured for, someone came and bear the cross and that is in the person of Jesus Christ, whom we are celebrating his birthday today.
“And I strongly believe that God loves Nigeria, because he decided to give us his son Jesus Christ, like it is written in John Chapter 3:16, which says that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life, so I am trusting and believing God, we will all cross to 2026, and head will not roll.
“And when it comes to the human economy, the lord will settle it for us. It’s a matter of waiting patiently for the lord. If the lord did it for the people of old, he will still do it. So I am not bothered about what they are saying today about the economy. God will fix this nation for us, all we need to do is make ourselves available for God to use us. As Jesus Christ came as an example for one’s readiness to make a difference. The world was corrupt just like the bible made us to understand, and the first Adam sinned, and God saw that the first Adam cannot liberate himself or bring himself back, you know when a child and a father are in disagreement, there must be an intermediary, somebody must come in to reconcile the son and the father, in this case man has sinned and have been far away from God, and God thought it wise because it is going to reconcile us to himself, you know, the devil will smile that he has conquered the world and that is why Jesus Christ came and so we Christians are happy that we have a saviour, saviour of the world, in the person of Jesus Christ who we are celebrating his birthday today,”
He said Nigerians should be patient with the leadership of the country and that the country belongs to all Nigerians and must join hands to build it. “The president is doing his best, like I used to say, this nation is our nation. Not just for Baba Tinubu, it is for all of us. And for us to fix this nation we must join hands together, and being patient with the leadership. Some people would ask when this patient will come to an end? It is in the hand of God; God will help us to go through.
Dr Aba Concluded by emphasizing on importance of collective effort in fixing the nation.
For a better society
