Let the federal government equip the general hospitals. The educational sector should be adequately funded so that quality education will be affordable for both the rich and poor. Louts and hoodlum should be cleared from our roads by creating reasonable employment opportunities for the youths. The checkpoints on our roads are so many especially in the southeast and should be monitored. Federal government should stop the demolition of people’s sheds, houses and properties randomly. The federal government should never accept or encourage L.G.B.T.Q practices as its against our culture, morality, nature and mostly importantly, it is against God.

The founder, Leader and Arch Bishop of Living Christ Mission Inc., His Grace, the most Rev. Prof. Daddy Hezekiah, Proprietor and Chancellor, Hezekiah University, Umudi, Imo State has called upon Christians to disassociate themselves in 2025 from every form of iniquity, sin, evil practices and wickedness that alienate them from God Almighty in 2024 and previous years in other to establish a platform for God to fulfill His wonderful good promises, blessings and packages, He planned in 2025. He stated that 2025 is a year of recovery, reconciliation with God, repentance, revival and restoration of all repentant Christians by desisting from any thing that has taken God’s place in their lives and repenting genuinely and returning to God Almighty.
Rev. Prof. Daddy Hezekiah who made the call during His new year message at the spiritual headquarters of the church Nkwerre, Imo State urged Christians to exbit the qualities of the Almighty God that will keep off the devil out of their lives. He told men of God to always tell the politicians the truth in 2025 as rigging of election and wrong policies are the major problems experienced in the country instead of playing the role of a sycophants. He said that Nigeria has enough mineral resources to take care of the citizenry adding that church leaders suppose to be fearless, bold though humble and should remind the politicians to fulfill the promises they made during campaign and to alleviate the suffering of the dying poor masses who are facing abject poverty, hardship, high transportation, high cost of food items, insecurity, bad roads, lack of basic amenities, hunger, high medical bills, how incomes etc.
Preaching a new year message of hope and repentance, the great prophet of God read the books of Joshua 24, Jeremiah 18 and 1 Samuel 7. Rev. Prof. Daddy Hezekiah said God has promised us a bright great future, to rebuild, restore and bless those who will repent and reconcile with God in 2025. He pleaded with children of God to allow God to remould them according to His perfect will. He regretted that the Israelites in Jeremiah 18 rejected God and worshiped other gods and they were destroyed.
The prelate enjoined with Christians to be kind, merciful and compassionate in 2025 and to avoid provoking God or practicing evil so that God will not join their enemies to destroy them as in Jeremiah 18. but to make a total surrender to God like the people in 1 Samuel Chapter 7 who repented after prophet Samuel’s preaching, departed from evil as in vs 4 “so Israel put away the baals and the Ashtaroth and they served the Lord only.” And God fought against their enemies and defeated the philistines because the Isrealites reconciled with Him.
Rev. Prof. Daddy Hezekiah warned Christians to avoid double standard living as the resultant Consequences are so alarming as in Joshua 24 vs. 20: “if you forsake the Lord and serve foreign gods, then he will turn and harm and consume you after He has done you good.” He said that God is a consuming fire and a jealous God that cannot condole iniquity, pretence, wickedness and serving God and the devil at the same time.
He urged Christians to be patient with God in every situation as God is His own interpreter and will surely give His true children a perfect happy end, adding that Christians ought in 2025, to constantly re-examine, reform and redirect their steps to synchronize and conform to the perfect will and directives of God as God has said that “You must be Holy for I am holy”. “you must be perfect for I am perfect.” He told them not to give the devil or enemies the opportunity to destroy them by falling back into sin or other wicked acts abhorred by God.
Rev. Prof. Daddy Hezekiah admonished youths as young generation to build themselves up in righteousness and not in sin or dirty living but to be caucious in practicing the word of God. He said that 2024 was horrible and 2025 is uncertain and pleaded with them to prepare grounds for Gods mercies and blessings as God answers the prayers of the righteous and the prayers of the wicked is an abomination to Him. He told them to be careful in choosing life partners as it could make or mar their future, He encourage them to marry according to the principles and will of God.
