Pastor Adeolu Folarin of The Redeemed and Restoration Altar of God Church, Ore branch, has called on Christians to embrace the message of hope and salvation as they commemorate Easter Sunday.
Delivering a powerful sermon titled “The Risen of the Lord,” the cleric emphasized the significance of Christ’s resurrection in the Christian faith.
The Easter service, which attracted a large congregation, was marked by fervent prayers, worship, and thanksgiving. Pastor Folarin anchored his message on the biblical text from Matthew 28:1, which recounts the discovery of the empty tomb and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
According to the cleric, the resurrection remains the cornerstone of Christianity, symbolizing victory over sin and death.
He noted that without the resurrection, the Christian faith would be incomplete, urging believers to reflect deeply on its meaning.
Quoting Romans 5:8, Pastor Folarin reminded the congregation of God’s unconditional love for humanity, as demonstrated through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
He stressed that Christ died for sinners, offering salvation freely to all who believe.
The pastor further explained that Easter is not merely a seasonal celebration but a call to renewed faith and spiritual rebirth. He encouraged Christians to live transformed lives that reflect the teachings of Christ.
Pastor Folarin also urged believers to maintain unity and love within their communities, noting that the resurrection of Christ brings people together in faith and purpose. He called on the congregation to extend kindness and compassion to others.
Speaking on the challenges facing society, the cleric said the message of Easter offers hope in difficult times.
He assured worshippers that just as Christ overcame death, they too can overcome life’s trials through faith.
The service featured special musical renditions and scripture readings, creating a spiritually uplifting atmosphere. Members of the church expressed joy and gratitude for the opportunity to celebrate the resurrection.
In his closing remarks, Pastor Folarin prayed for peace, progress, and divine guidance for individuals, families, and the nation. He urged Christians to carry the message of Easter beyond the church walls and impact their communities positively.
