Being Christ-like in Nigeria today goes beyond attending church every Sunday. It means living like Jesus where it matters most—at home, work, school, business, and online. Tell the truth, even when lying seems easier or more profitable. Integrity is one of the strongest Christian testimonies. Refuse bribery, examination malpractice, fraud, and corruption. Following Christ often means choosing the harder but right path. Show kindness to people regardless of tribe, denomination, status, or religion. Jesus never discriminated. Forgive those who offend you. Forgiveness does not justify wrongdoing, but it frees the heart from bitterness. Help the needy around you. Support a struggling neighbour, student, widow, orphan, or unemployed person when you can. Control your words, both offline and online. Avoid insults, gossip, false accusations, and toxic arguments. Be diligent in your work. Excellence and honesty should distinguish Christians in every profession. Practice humility. Not every disagreement requires a fight, and not every achievement requires public display. Pray consistently and study God's Word daily. Christ-likeness grows through spiritual discipline. Stand for justice and fairness without hatred. Speak for the oppressed while maintaining love and respect. Nigeria needs Christians who do more than preach—Christians who reflect Christ through their character. The greatest sermon many people will ever hear is the life you live.
