His Lordship, The Rt. Rev. Dr. Owen Chiedozie Nwokolo, during this evening’s Episcopal Baptism service at Calvary Chapel, Bishopscourt, reminded parents and godparents to nurture their children to grow in the way k in of the Lord.
Drawing from 1 Peter 2:2, he urged them to ensure that, like newborn infants who long for their mother’s milk for physical growth, as Adult we should desire the spiritual milk for our growth in salvation, they themselves should also desire the spiritual milk of God’s word so that they may grow in faith.
He further encouraged them to nurture the children in love, guard them from corrupt communication, and not withhold the rod of correction when necessary. In doing so, they would raise godly children who walk in the path of righteousness and become a blessing to their generation and to society at large.
In his closing prayer, the Bishop prayed that these infants who have been baptized would continually grow up as children who love and serve the Lord all the days of their lives, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
