Dr. Dada, during his sermon among other things enumerated in his preaching that parents should be mindful of the type of association their children mingle with  because home is one of the major agents of socialisation so that their children can be far from unnecessary oppression, evil life styles, drugs, fraud, gangs and prostitution etc. "It is the joy of parents to see that their children go to school, graduate, prosper, marry and have godly children who know the Lord".  

He prayed to God to stop the senseless, gruesome and despicable killing going on all over the world especially; Nigeria, America, Canada, Ukraine, Russia etc. and that we should put God first in all that we do.  "Our God is a kind, merciful and forgiving God, without God man is nothing"

It would be recalled that  there was an attack  St. Francis Catholic Church, located at Owaluwa Street, Owo, Ondo State where several worshippers were killed and many severely wounded on Sunday (yesterday).

Dr. Amos Dada commiserated with all the victims and their families, the Olowo of Owo, HRH Oba Gbadegesin  Ajibade Ogunoye, the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria (CSN) as well as the Ondo State governor and the citizens. He prayed for the respose of the souls of the departed ones. "The culprits should be fished out and  punished severely and pay for their sins"  he concluded.
