Christians generally have been urged to follow in the footpsteps of Jesus Christ by living a life that is transformed by the Word.

He called of Christian faitful to imbibe a lifestyle of peace, favour, transparency which he said are important to God. “Heavens may not release what rightly belongs to you, until you begin to conform to his (God) standards,” he said.
Pastor Ajadi described lifestyle as a way individuals live and manner of living, while calling on Christians to consider their lifestyle if in tandem with the Word of God. According to him, God desired that his children should be like sheep under a shepherd, but when they were something else that would not please God.
He noted that Christians are expected to be disciplined in order to live a transformed life. The clergy stated that how a Christian lives would determine whether he would attract the light of God or darkness.
