Speaking further, he urged those who are yet to give their life to Christ to do so immediately as man is only a stranger here on earth. He said that the activities that surrounded the birth of Christ showed that Jesus came for both the rich and poor.
The bishop revealed that when he gave his life to Christ his friends left him as they all thought he was foolish. He noted that events that have taken place in his life over the years have shown that he was not foolish as most of his friends thought.
