THE PRAYERS

Currently in Nigeria,Churches regardless of the denominations are so politicised and divided along ethnic lines and this is rather unfortunate as Jehovah is the God of all creatures regardless of their ethnicity or race. Any insider virtually in all of our today's Churches can testify that politics is now being deployed on serious issues which ordinarily are spiritual in nature for example,promotions and appointments, it's no longer a secret that these all important spiritual exercise which ought to be guided by the leadership of the holy spirit are now being done based on ethnic considerations. Here in Nigeria,there are Churches where members from the ethnic groups different from that of the church overseers are not allowed to hold sensitive offices or posted to branches which they the church considers as juicy branches and this is sad as our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ along with his disciples never discriminated against any one,even though Apostle Paul was ne...

Ordinarily, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Pentecostal Fellowship Of Nigeria (PFN) are the two major Christian bodies saddled with the spiritual task of uniting the church and presenting it as a family of the people of God that can speak in one voice particularly when attacked by not just unbelievers but by the agent of the state,however,these Christian bodies over the years can best be described as socio-political groups whose agendas has nothing to do with Christianity. Some years ago, I was in the office of a former chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Lagos island chapter to present one of my newly published books but to my greatest shock,he told me that he would only attend to me for just few minutes as he was in a hurry to catch up with the state Exco meeting at the secretariat where a huge sum of money donated by a certain politician was to be shared, can you imagine that?. Why on earth will an organisation set up to represen...

Truth be told, one of the greatest challenges confronting the church of God here in Nigeria is that of biased doctrinal teachings and this is the reason why many church goers are ready to die in defence of their church doctrines but not in defence of the name of Christ Jesus the saviour of their souls,these unscriptual behaviour by supposed Christians are largely responsible for the many divisions and disunity in the body of Christ. Ordinarily the body of Christ ought to be one but the unpleasant behaviours of church overseers who are always pitching their flocks against Christians of other denominations whom they accuse of not following the scriptural standard but let me ask who is actually following the scriptural standard here in Nigerian churches and when did God appoint anyone a judge on doctrinal matters? If things must change, church overseers themselves must as a matter of urgency desist from the unnecessary confusion they create with their so called doctrine, they must b...

Seriously speaking, the church as presently constituted cannot effectively fight the kingdom of darkness and this is because the church and it's leaders have completely surrendered to the dictate and control of agents of darkness whose wealths emaciates from the pit of hell, it's a known fact that the church now receives financial and material gift from people of questionable characters, as a matter of fact, it's no longer a secret that many of our today's churches are now being sponsored by Yahoo Yahoo plus criminals. It's laughable for anyone in his or her right senses to expect that the church whose leaders have been captured by the powers of satanic wealth would summon the courage and strength to prayerfully dislodge the forces of darkness in the church, how is that going to work? How on earth would anyone expect them to rise against the same people that are not just financing their churches but are also financing their lavish lifestyles? If they f...

The church indeed needs urgent deliverance from satanic siege but not until we the worshippers get rid of the garment of blind obedience forced on us by our church leaders, they manipulate the scriptures to suit their selfish desires and present same to us as doctrine, they devote all their effort on building empires rather than building the kingdom of God and sadly, we the worshippers sing their praises and even quarrel among ourselves on whose pastor is the richest and biggest in town. No doubt that we still have God fearing church leaders in our country but how many are they? What are their numbers when compared to the many that are enriching themselves using the name of the Lord? So sad that the gospel of salvation as presented to us by Christ Jesus has taken the backstage and all we hear and see in our churches all over are, "Pay your tithes, sow your seeds, give and give and give." .......TO BE CONTINUED......

Before now, many were of the opinion that Satan; the devil somehow has found his way into the church but permit me to state that Satan has not only found his way into the church but has consolidated his position to the extent he now determines which way the church should go. A close look at the happenings in our today's church points to the fact that it will take nothing but total repentance for the church to regain it's lost glory as it's no longer a secret that the greedy materialistic lifestyles of some of our church leaders has completely sold out the church into the hands of wealthy and well connected satanic agents whom now funds the church and in the process perpetuate their devilish agenda.
