Easter is a period Christendom celebrate the life, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, in a highly commercialized and capitalist world, a lot of preachers have frowned on the monetization of these Christian festivities such as Easter, they (Preachers) have called for a solemn celebration. Having said this, the presiding pastor in charge of Kingdom Power Church Int’l, Apostle Bright Chimezie Ebenezer has made his position known on the concept of Easter and how it can be celebrated.
In a media chat, Apostle Bright Chimezie said “I believe in Easter, in short, Easter should be more celebrated than Christmas, though the actual date of the death of Jesus Christ’s death isn’t known but the period is meant to be celebration of death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is very crucial in the life of every man; I believe that this is the basics of Christianity. For Jesus to die on the cross of calvary it means that he made himself ransom and unbelievers feel it and believers feel it.
““It is the time people enjoy love; I know that some churches forbid to eat meat that is funny mindset but it is the season worth celebrating. People’s ideology of Easter is terrible and there is misconception of purpose. A lot of people are yet to harmonize their thinking and they do not know that Jesus is the reason of this season. Though, the idea of men bastardising this for celebration, traditional activities and hoodlums’ activities masquerading these holidays. Their idea is contrary to the season, the true idea of Easter is a holy moment, a time of sober moment and reflection. This isn’t a time of eating and drinking but deep meditation and reconciliation. We must change this mindset. This Easter is a period were people make mistake but normally it should be a holy period where we look at Jesus and appreciate hm paying the ultimate price.
 “He added that “It should be a sober reflection time for us all and not a time to party and drink and womanize. We need to ask ourselves some deep, penitent questions and ask ourselves where we have gone wrong. For we to enjoy the grace we have today we must know that this is the making of Death of Jesus Christ.
 “In conclusion he said “Though, this particular date which is from 15th – 17th of April is the making of Roman Government, we appreciate this but we must know that the Romans are chronic demon worshipers. The season attracts the reason, so we must know the reason of Easter which is Jesus and his resurrection. Our Easter must also be a daily affair where we are conscious of Jesus Christ and his doings in our lives. Easter is a beautiful period and I strongly believe that it should be a period of remorse and contrite celebrations.”
