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 never part of the disciples when Christ was here on earth, nevertheless, he was accepted and well respected inspite of his ugly past of being a tormentor in chief to the body of Christ, why can't the heavy tribalised and discriminatory Churches of today learn from them? LET'S PRAY FOR THE CHURCH.

Be careful and prayerful before engaging the services of a house-maid so that you do not set your home on fire.Some years ago i went to pray with a couple who were worried that since the birth of their nine years old daughter, every attempt to have another child failed to materialize in spite of their efforts, immediately we ended the prayers, their nine year old daughter walked up to me and said,"pastor,I am the reason why my parents are yet to have another child".Shocked by her open confession, I demanded that she should explain to us the reason behind her action and She said,"I am scared that my parents may not pamper me the way they used to if they give birth to another child and so I tied-up my mother's womb".Asked how she came about the demonic powers she was using on her parents,she said,"I was initiated into the kingdom of darkness through an orange given to me by our former House-maid". Be carefu...
