Kamai told a congregation during Easter mass at Our Lady of Mount Camel Parish Peva in Takum local government that the resurrection of Christ from the death three days after his death on the cross signifies hope for humanity.

“So many people belief that it was not Jesus that was nailed on the cross and that it was Simon of Cyrene that carried the cross and was nailed, this is totally a wrong notion of Easter.

“Jesus Christ was crucified. He died and rose on the third day. This signifies day break in the life of Christians and Nigerians in general and I urged Nigerians to keep faith with this administration,” he said.

Rev. Fr. Kamai said because of the risen Christ, christians the world over have faith in the resurrection, adding that the resurrection of Christ is the reason for Easter. With the death and resurrection of Christ, believers no longer die, but now sleep in the Lord.

He advised Christians to know that even though challenges may come, with the risen Christ, their challenges are overtaken. Even though we may suffer as christ did, we are sure of glory at the end.

He caution Christians against those preaching prosperity and God’s miracles, and so on when Christ himself suffered death and humiliation for the sake of humanity.

“Why should someone say you are not supposed to die, suffer pains or diseases? Such people are not true apostles of Christ and preacher of the gospel and we must watch out for these prosperity preachers,” he said.
