Disobedience responsible for human travail – Cleric

A cleric in the Anglican Communion, Ven. David Jaiyeola, has attributed the vices currently besetting human race to “man’s disobedience to God.”
Jayeola spoke during a sermon at the 2012 Adult Harvest celebrations of the Cathedral Church of St. David, Kudeti, Ibadan, on Sunday.
According to him, many people, having disobeyed God, give excuses and blame God for their mistakes.
He likened Nigeria to a mother whose child was crying for food in the face of plenty.
He said, “The situation in which the citizens of this country cry over scarcity despite its rich natural and human resources is sad.
“The sin of disobedience gives rise to adultery, corruption and many more.
“It is because of disobedience that God cursed human generation.”
He said the season of harvest was a time designed by God to test human’s willingness to give God from their substance.
Meanwhile, the Lagos State Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Rev. Bernard Okodua, has called for unity and harmony among Christians and other residents of the state.
Okodua made the call at the inauguration of Lagos CAN Central Choir and investiture of the choir’s Patrons and Patroness at the Chapel of Christ the Light, Alausa, Ikeja.
