The General Overseer of the Living Christ
Mission, the Most Rev. Daddy Hezekiah, has called for a review of the
cashless policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
Speaking at a special church service to
mark the 30th anniversary of the church in Onitsha, Anambra State, on
Sunday, Hezekiah said the policy, which is in operation in seven states,
including Anambra, carried with it multiple taxation.
He added that the policy would further impoverish the poor and enrich the wealthy.
The general overseer also condemned the
growing approval of gay marriages in the world and urged Christians to
strongly condemn gay marriage.
He maintained that gay marriage was not only anti-life, but an affront on the name and image of God.
“Let us stand firm and defend the name
and image of God. Gay marriage is dehumanising, absurd, bizarre and
irrational; not even domestic or wild animals practice such a thing.
“It is difficult to understand why man
created in God’s image should do so. And it is unjustifiable for gay
couples to seek to adopt children born by straight couples,” he said.
Hezekiah praised Nelson Mandela as a
great leader that achieved fame by combining courage with humility and
urged other leaders to emulate the late South African leader.
He urged the rich not to use their wealth to afflict the poor and to commit sin.
He also appealed to business people not
to engage in businesses that would lead to the death of consumers; and
to parents to bring up their children in the fear of God.
