The Senior Pastor of Christ Apostolic Church, Eternal Praise Assembly, Pastor Olu Olorunpomi has urged Christians across the globe to be blessings to others, saying that we are called to be a blessing to the world.



Pastor Olorunpomi stated this while ministering on a topic "Be a Blessing to Others" on Sunday April 6, 2020 during Palm Sunday Service in one of the House Fellowship Centres of the Assembly.



He said the essence of Jesus coming to the earth in human form is to be a blessing.



According to him, Jesus gave both physical and spiritual blessings, noting that He healed the sick, fed the hungry, raised the dead, and eventually died to ransom all.


He added: "today, as we celebrate Palm Sunday, it is profitable to know that we are called to be a blessing to the world."



The Cleric further stated that aspects of blessings include material blessings (money, food, clothes, etc.), emotional blessings (love, concern, respect, attention, appreciation of others) and  spiritual blessings (concern for brethren in the church and conversion of brethren outside the Church).



Pastor Olorunpomi stated that attitudes for blessings are humility and sacrifice, stating that if you're not humble, you will fumble and whatever you value more than people will deny you value before people.



He concluded by asking the congregation whether they were blessings to others or not, saying that "you may need to change today or improve on your life of blessings."
