He reminded members and the public that Cleanliness is next to Godliness, saying that Seventh-Day Adventists are Christians and remnant Church of God, which keeps to the letter the word of God as written in the Bible.
“We must uphold that which our Almighty God has commanded us. Today’s sicknesses are majorly as a result of going against personal hygiene and feeding things are not healthy to our body. Read Leviticus 11 to 15.
“While keep our environment clean, we must as well keep our minds clean by leading a righteous life.
“Our Lord Jesus Christ admonished us not only to clean on the outside but we must be clean inside-out.
“That is why we must take the exercise seriously and I know that as we join in affecting the life of our neighbours healthily and positively, God will surely bless us all”, he concluded.
