Venerable Anthony Eiwuley, the Parish Priest of Christ the King Anglican Church, Sakumono, has called on Christians to embody humility, love, and compassion in their daily lives. He said true greatness lay not in worldly achievements, but in selfless service to others. Venerable Eiwuley, in a sermon during an anointing service, encouraged Christians to examine their hearts and reflect on how closely their lives aligned with the principles of Christ. 'True greatness is not found in worldly status or recognition, but in the willingness to humble oneself, serve others, and follow the path of sacrifice, as Jesus Christ exemplified,' he stated. Venerable Eiwuley stressed the importance of cultivating humility and being ready to serve, regardless of one's position or influence. He reminded the congregation that Jesus Christ, despite being the Son of God, demonstrated the ultimate example of humility by serving others and sacrificing His life for humanity. 'Christians are called to reflect this same attitude in their own lives,' he said, adding, 'We must focus not on being served, but on serving others with love and compassion.' He urged the congregation to seek opportunities to help those in need and to be willing to go beyond their comfort zones in doing so. 'True greatness is not about reaching the top, but bending down to serve with love and compassion,' Venerable Eiwuley reiterated. He urged congregants to be ready to give up personal comfort for the sake of others, pointing out that it is in such moments of selflessness that God's presence and support are most strongly felt. 'God will never abandon those who serve in His name, and He always provides for those who are willing to sacrifice for the sake of others,' he assured. Reflecting on the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, Venerable Eiwuley, who is also the Archdeacon of Tema, further admonished Christians to embrace humility as a core virtue. He encouraged Christians to 'examine their hearts' and ask themselves whether they were living a life mark ed by the kind of humility and service that Jesus exemplified. 'We are not called to live for ourselves; we are called to live a life of service, driven by love and sacrifice for others. This is the true legacy we must leave behind.' Venerable Eiwuley further urged the congregation to reflect on how they could use their time, resources, and talents to meet the needs of others, seeking opportunities to serve, just as Christ did. Such acts of service, he stated, should not be seen as burdensome but as joyful expressions of love and faith. Venerable Eiwuley reminded the church that humility, love, and compassion were essential to the Christian faith and that every believer should strive to leave behind a legacy marked by those qualities.
