Pastor Abiodun Solomon of the Christ Glory Church, Ilorin, has advised Christians to celebrate Christmas within their financial capacities to avoid running into debts.
Solomon gave the advice in Ilorin on Saturday in an interview with Newsmen
He said that there was no need to engage in any competition while celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.
According to him, many people try to compete with their neighbours or friends in terms of spending at Christmas.
” Celebrate within your capacity, don’t try to impress anybody.
“Don’t involve yourself in any debt in an effort to celebrate Christmas.
” You can celebrate the birth of Christ decently without extravagant lifestyles or lavishing of resources.
” Jesus Christ was never in competition with anybody; so, you are not expected to trouble your minds.
” Celebrate within your limits, with pure heart, and Jesus will accept your celebration,” he said.
He also advised Christians to embrace charity and support the needy.
