Celebrate Easter with more commitment to serving God - Baptist Cleric, Rev Oyinlola, tells Christians

A Baptist Minister, Reverend Moses Gbolahan Oyinlola, has called on Christians to be more committed to serving God, as they mark this year's Easter Celebration.

This is coming after the Cleric revealed that he began the Christianity with only two verses in the Bible.

According to him, he always quoted the two verses without knowing where they were in the Holy Book until he later found them in the Books of James and Luke respectfully.

Reverend Oyinlola, who made this known while preaching on the sermon titled "Celebrating His entry as King" Matthew 21:1-11 to mark this year's Palm Sunday at Mount Zion Baptist Church, Idi-Mangoro, Adigbe Abeokuta, the Ogun State Capital, said that was his Hosanna before he became a pastor.

The Cleric while expressing concern about the downward trend in spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ by many Christians nowadays through their utterances and characters.

He recalled that despite coming from the unbeliever family background people usually mock him whenever he used the two Bible verses to preach, nicknaming him 'pastor' even when he was still a church member.

Oyinlola added that the Christians should not be discouraged when people are mocking them in the course of propagating the gospel.

According to him, serving God wholeheartedly should be the priority of Christians as He has better plans for each individual, especially those who are committed to Him.

"Brethren, I beseech you all to celebrate the entry of Christ with proclamation and declaration of Hosanna through your words and deeds to the people around you 

"Celebrate him because He is all knowing God and for His humility, as well as celebrating His sacrifice and praise" the Pastor admonished.

"Let's emulate the people in the scriptures who used all they had to honour Christ during His triumphant entry into Jerusalem by giving themselves and their resources to the honour of God", He admonished.

Oyinlola, however, asked Christians not to lose hope on the promises of God for their lives but to wait like Jesus Christ did before the fulfillment of His coming to save the mankind.
