The Parish Priest of Holy Family Cathedral in the Catholic Diocese of Rumbek advises Christians to cease promoting themselves to high positions of honor.
Fr Luke Dor says raising oneself makes the kingdom of God very far from the people, Good News Radio reports.
He urges the faithful to humble themselves instead of exalting in order to bring the kingdom of God nearer to them.
Fr Dor tells Christians to be always in the service of others and serve them as brothers and sisters.
He encourages togetherness and love among Christians.
Fr Luke was preaching to the congregation at Holy Family Cathedral in Rumbek on Sunday.
