The Chaplain of All Saints’ Chapel, University of Benin, Benin City on Sunday warned students of the university especially the female students to flee from any temptation to stay with their relationship partners.
In their Sunday second service, the Chaplain of the University of Benin Chapel Ven. David Osazee Egbenusi through the Chapel’s Bible Study Superintendent, Dr. Osayem Otabor-Olubor in his sermon titled ‘’Topical and Relevant Issues for the Corinthian Church’’ warned students that it is a sin to cohabit with their relationship partners, Fornication is a grievous sin before God and God is angry with sinners every day, the cleric added.
In his admonition to the church, the cleric gave an expository interpretation to the Bible scripture, 1 Corinthian 5 verse 6 and 9 to 13 and cautioned the congregation to reject the insinuations and teachings by some acclaimed men of God that God is not angry with anybody.
Except they actually mean that God is not angry with the just and upright Christians, otherwise, they would be deceiving you to face eternal condemnation,” he added.
Squatting is common among students of tertiary institutions especially in Nigeria largely due to the lack of adequate hostel accommodation for the increasing numbers of students being admitted into the country’s tertiary institutions.
Many students have completed their tertiary education staying with relatives, friends and sometimes others stayed with their relationship partners sometimes unknown to their parents, some have also had bad experiences to share about the sinful act.
