Nibo (Anambra) June 23, 2024 (NAN) The Most Revd. Alexander Ibezim, Archbishop, Ecclesiastical Province of the Niger, on Sunday urged women to raise their children in a manner that would prepare them to become transformative leaders.
Ibezim, Bishop, Diocese of Awka, Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) made the call in a Homily entitled: “Prepare Your Children to be Servants” at the 38th Diocesan Women’s Conference and 2nd Mothers Union conference.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the conference was held at Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Nibo, Awka South Local Government Area, Anambra.
The theme of the conference which started on Thursday and ended on Sunday was: “I Will Not Let You Go Unless You Bless Me,” a text taken from Genesis 32 verse 26.
He urged them train their children to see themselves as servants and not bosses, an attribute he said, would help them to make positive impact when they occupy positions of authority in the future.
Ibezim urged the women to raise godly children who would live according to the God’s injunctions.
He urged women to ensure that their children were grounded in family traditions where morals, social values and fear of God are held in high esteem.
“Prayerful children, dutiful and consistency in characters are what we need to build a healthy society,” Ibezim said. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
