The AIG took the first bible reading from the book of Isaiah 9: 1-6 and urged the choir to give the audience beautiful Christmas carols.
In his sermon, the officiating minister, Reverend Benjamin Eragbai, urged citizens to pray for favour to get a seat at the top.
“We all have seats at the top,but not all get there. The only way we can get there is through prayer. You need favour to make it in life, to move from lower to higher place.
“Some people seats at the top are empty due to sickness, death or stronger power that control them, but prayer can open doors of blessings, promotions, and good health, if only you can pray.”
According to him, police are agent of peace.Many people’ seat would have been empty if the police were not involved in their cases.
He urged people to pray for security agents who are always under the sun or in the rain,day and night, maintaining the peace and fighting for them while they are asleep.
He commended the police for taking time to out of their tight schedules to celebrate Jesus and returning the glory to God at the end of the year.
He asked the members of the public to continue to pray for policemen and their families for keeping vigil while they are asleep.
