Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang has charged the people of the state to eschew ethnic and religious differences and channel their efforts towards promoting unity and selfless service to God and humanity.<\/p>\n

The governor gave the advice on Sunday in Jos, the state capital, during the dedication of a book titled \u201cHistory of Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN).\u201d<\/p>\n

The book, written by various authors, was published by COCIN.<\/p>\n

Mutfwang, who stressed the importance of history towards the survival of any nation, said the book contained essential elements that would steer the church in faith and steady growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am here not just because I am governor, but because I am also part of the history of this church. There is a saying that out of every 10 Plateau people, five or six may be COCIN members, so if Plateau is either failing or progressing, COCIN is playing a role.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I pray that God will help us to rise above all the foolishness of tribalism and unite our hearts together; the secret is that all of us must strive to lay hold of God for ourselves so that together we can bring something to the table.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to the day that we will rise as Plateau citizens and pursue the purpose of God in this land and I believe we can do it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mutfwang, who extolled the initiative, encouraged Christians and indeed all Plateau citizens to be united and remain steadfast in spreading the gospel of Christ.<\/p>\n
