A cleric , Rev. Tajan Moltok, the Jos Resident Pastor of Shepherd House Assembly International , has cautioned youths against disrespect to elders and making inciting comments .
The cleric made the call on Sunday in Jos, during a sermon titled ‘Intervention’.
He expressed concern that youths speak rudely to their parents and make utterances which can cause unrest in the society .
“Be careful of your utterances and be respectful to your parents. Do not be quick to talk ,” he said.
He noted that some youths would leave the house chores for their parents to perform while they slept, saying” children are sleeping and mother of 80 years are working , this is wrong”.
He expressed concern that some children became unrully and disrespectful once they started earning money, forgetting that God is the giver of wealth and could take it away from them if they used it to oppress people.
Moltok urged the congregation to pray for the election of credible candidates, as various political parties conducted their primaries in the country.
“Lets pray for delegates not to sell their votes for money, but let their conscience make them elect leaders that will make Nigeria to progress, ” he said.
The cleric also led the congregation in conducting special prayers for peace in Sokoto, following the alleged murder of a student of Shehu Shagari College of Education Sokoto, on allegation of blasphemy on May 12.
He prayed for God to comfort her family, forgive her sins and grant her soul eternal peace .
