Merry Christmas And A Joyful New Year 2026 From The Ikeji’s
As the candle of Advent flickers and the world pauses to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, we are reminded of the timeless truth that _“the Word became flesh and dwelt among us”_ (John 1:14). In that humble manger, we encounter the perfect union of divine love and human frailty, a mystery that transcends time and speaks to every longing heart.
This season, let us echo the angelic proclamation: _“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests”_ (Luke 2:14).
May the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7) settle in our homes, our workplaces, and our communities, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary.
The New Year beckons us forward, inviting us to _“walk by the same Spirit, as we also have the same mind”_ (Philippians 2:2).
In the words of the great philosopher Aristotle, _“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”_ Let the habit of kindness, the discipline of generosity, and the pursuit of truth shape the days ahead.
As Confucius wisely observed, _“It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.”_ May the gentle rhythm of the season inspire us to move forward with purpose, to mend broken fences, and to sow seeds of hope in every corner of our lives.
May the light that shone in Bethlehem guide our paths, and may the promise of a new beginning, _“Behold, I am making all things new”_ (Revelation 21:5), fill our hearts with renewed faith and boundless optimism.
*Wishing you a blessed Christmas, a peaceful transition into the New Year, and a future illuminated by love, wisdom, and grace.*
With heartfelt gratitude,
Hon. High Chief Victor Ikeji, Ph.D
& Chief Mrs. Lilian Ikeji and Family
