LET'S PRAY FOR THE CHURCH (PART 6)

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. TO BE CONTINUED...... AUTHORED BY:Pastor Emmanuel N.Okafor TELEPHONE NUMBER:08060518919.

LET'S PRAY FOR THE CHURCH.(PART 8)

There's no doubt that the church here in Nigeria desperately needs prayers considering the many challenges therein,the church is seriously pleagued by all manners of crisis which in my opinion are all man made as Christ Jesus made it clear in the bible that he will build his church upon the rock and the gate of hell shall not prevail over it. Historically speaking,the early church both in the scriptures and here in Nigeria centred their works on love for one another and unity of purpose but today, the church can now be likened to an empire where the emperor battle to secure his or her territory. Many observers of our today's Churches are of the opinion that the real reason why Churches are springing up in every corners of the country is because every pastor who decides to break away from a church has just one thing in his or her mind and that thing is nothing but to set up an empire where he or she is only answerable to himself not to any one else and when they are s...

THE CONSEQUENCES OF PARENTAL FAILURE(PART 1).

According to the scriptures, children are gifts or blessings from God but truth be told, the alarming rate of antisocial behaviours by the young people in our today's world leaves one wondering if parents truly appreciates or cherish such blessings. Parenting is a very serious business that requires the total commitment of parents and in all honesty any parent who is not ready to give his or her all has no business bringing any child into the world as such children may end up as terrors to the entire society. Ordinarily, parents are the pillars upon which any responsible family values are built, they are custodians of their family's morals and their behaviours within and outside of their homes goes a long way to speak on who they are but looking at the quality of parenting in our today's world, one cannot but weep for a generation that in my opinion is almost destroyed beyond redemption largely due to poor parenting and the consequences of this can visibly be seen by ...

BEWARE OF DEMONIC HOUSE-MAIDS(part 2)Continuation.

   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...
