WAKE UP CALL TO THE NIGERIAN CHURCH (MUST READ FOR ALL CHRISTIAN)

I raised this during the Nahttps://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=676198125824977&id=366481110130015&_rdr Conference during
plenary and the Conference went on fire. Everything
scattered immediately. And the Muslims got up, they
tried to shut me down. I pointed out to Nigeria, that we
have a constitutional problem that is the core issue that
we must resolve. And what is the problem of Nigeria?
It is not corruption, it is not Boko Haram, it is not
mediocrity, it is not lawlessness.
Our problem is dual ideology within the Nigerian
constitution. It must be resolved, if we don’t resolve it,
Nigeria is not going anywhere. There are two ideologies
inside the Nigerian constitution. Let me show you
something: Sharia is mentioned in your constitution 73
times, Islam 28 times, grand kardi 53 times, Muslim
10 times – in the Nigerian 1999 constitution. There is
no single mention of Christ in the Nigerian constitution,
no single mention of Christian in the Nigerian
Constitution, no single mention of Christianity in the
Nigerian Constitution, no single mention of Church in
the Nigerian Constitution.
Now I ask you Sir, I ask you mama; Is your country
an Islamic state, a Christian state or a secular state?
Which one is Nigeria?
Constitutionally, Nigeria is an Islamic state. The
reason it has not been enforced is because they have not
captured the jewel that is needed to enforce it, and that
jewel is the South-West. And right now, they are set
because there has now been a handshake between the
North-West and the South-West; and this is where
Christians need to wake up and politics now comes in.
We now need to start creating political awareness among
Christians because Christians don’t vote. We must
change it and use our votes to quickly restructure the
political imbalance in Nigeria; because if you make a
mistake of using your thumb to dig the grave of the
Church, you will stand before Jesus Christ and render
account.
I’m not a member of PDP and I’m not a member of
APC, but I saw something that makes me worried and
I think you should see it – it is the leadership structure
of APC. The National leaders in the North and South
are Muslims. Members of the National Executive
Council of the party are predominantly Muslim. They
call you to come and vote; and there are Christians who
are ready, who are already in APC. Look, if you use
your thumb to dig the grave of the Church, my hand is
not there; lo, I have told you. There is an Islamic
agenda for Nigeria. We all opened our eyes; we allowed
the political party to give us Muslim governors. 80% of
their governors are Muslims. There must be a
restructuring. In 2015, Christians must stand and
insist, in Lagos state the governor must be a Christian
– you must stand. And we are going to insist we are not
accepting a Christian candidate that a Muslim political
party is going to give us. We will pick our own
candidate, under a different political platform. If we
don’t, you can’t meet here o.
Now, let me now go back and explain what I meant by
dual Ideology because I did not explain it. I was
running for time. Section 1 of the Nigerian Constitution
says that the Nigerian Constitution is supreme, that it
is higher than any other law that is made in Nigeria.
Right? Section 38, Paragraph 1, of the Constitution
guarantees freedom of expression, freedom of believe,
freedom of choice. You can decide which religion you
want to be, under the Nigerian Constitution. Then, the
same constitution now has Sharia inside the constitution
and Sharia says, “If you dare change your religion to
any other religion, you must die.” Sharia says “If you
practise any other religion apart from Islam, you must
die.” Both of them are in the same Constitution. So
you have two captains in the same boat. That is what is
rocking Nigeria; because the promoters of the dual
Ideology don’t want to lose it. See, I’m in the National
Conference – I sit in the religion committee. I know
what is going on. I can’t tell you everything that is
going on. We are fighting to get Sharia out of the
Constitution. It is clear that if you touch Sharia, get
ready for a bloodbath that you have never seen before.
So, we have no other option than to petition our God in
heaven, that, “God you have to intervene, we can’t
handle this.” They are ready to kill to retain Sharia.
That’s why we need your prayers.
I’m giving you a prayer request. Please pray that God
in heaven will intervene and that dual ideology inside the
Nigerian Constitution will be dismantled because it is
only when we stand on section 38, that we can now
build a society that is founded upon liberty, justice,
equity and fairness. Until then, we can’t! That’s why
this crisis is going on. Why is Boko Haram killing?
They want Sharia. Why do they want Sharia? That is
what is in the Constitution. Until you remove it, you
can’t solve the problem. The problem is not corruption,
corruption is the symptom. The real disease is dual
ideology. And it is only the church that can pray it out.
But right now the Church is praying other prayers.
Please pray the right prayers.
Now let me quickly go to the next one. In 1983, OIC
held a strategy meeting in London and in that meeting
they strategized on how to turn the whole of Africa into
an Islamic continent. The reason for OIC is that
Africa is the only continent that has the largest
population of Muslims In the world; therefore the entire
continent should be Islamic. They produced a 322-page
document after that strategy session. 156 of those pages
focused on Nigeria.
They identified seven key nations that must be captured
before they can turn Africa into an Islamic continent.
The 7 nations are: Nigeria, Kenya, Liberia, Malawi,
Cote d’voire, South Africa and Democratic Republic of
Congo. OIC says these seven nations must primarily be
Islamised. And of these 7 nations, Nigeria is Number
1. Once they islamise Nigeria, then there is no problem
of Islamising Kenya. So when you hear of terrorist
attacks in Kenya; that they attacked the mall in Kenya,
it is not isolated from what Boko Haram is doing in
Nigeria. It’s the same. Get the connection.
After they did that, OIC now zoned Nigeria. Now, this
is interesting. Our current geopolitical structure: South-
South, South-East, North-East, North-West, North-
Central; you know it was not designed by any Nigerian
government. I hope you know that? I hope you know
that there is no Nigerian law backing it? I hope you
know that it was not passed by any constituent assembly
or by any constitutional sitting or by any national
referendum. It was designed by OIC in 1983. OIC
broke Nigeria into six zones; not to unite us as a
people, not to develop us as a nation but to break us
into little groups for the purpose of Islamization.
They have taken the Northwest; they placed a stamp of
Islam on it – Sharia! They are battling seriously for
the North-Central while the train, at the same time,
has transformed into a political machinery and has moved
into the South-West. So the next battle ground from
2015 is the South-West. The Christians in the South-
West must wake up now, and begin to pray now because
you cannot fight them the way they are going to fight.
How many of you will throw bomb? How many of you
will carry AK47? You will not. But the weapons of our
warfare are not carnal; they are mighty through God.
So you need this information.
Do you follow me? You need to begin to pray now, that
every Islamic agenda for Yorubaland, shall not stand.
And whatever they have already put in place, Almighty
God dismantles it. Whatever they have planted, Almighty
God uproots it; because if we don’t get South-West
back, we will lose the whole of Nigeria. The Southwest
is the key. That is where the intellectuals are. That is
where the Press is. That is where the manufacturing
industry is. That is where the banking industry is.
Whatever you get in the South-West, you can take it
anywhere in Nigeria, it will sell.
Now there has been a handshake under the guise of a
political party. Wake up! This is more than politics.
This is an Islamic agenda. When they finished, they
handed over their strategy over to Shehu Musa
Ya’radua. Shehu Musa Ya’radua Snr. presented it at
the 1988 constituent assembly. That was how it entered
the Nigerian consciousness until Abacha became Head of
State. When he wanted to transmute from a military
head of state to a civilian ruler, he called Dr. Alex
Ekweme to restructure Nigeria for him. Alex Ekweme
gave him this six geopolitical zone structure. That’s why
Abacha said that he wanted six vice-presidents, one from
each geopolitical zone. And God said “No!”
It may surprise you that the best president or head of
state you ever had is General Sanni Abacha, retired and
dead. Nigeria did not really become independent in 1960.
Nigeria became independent on April 21, 1996 – the day
General Sanni Abacha was used by God to deliver
Nigeria. That was the day Abacha removed Dasuki, the
Sultan of Sokoto as the Sultan; deposed him; sacked
him; and appointed Macido as the Sultan. That day,
Nigeria became free. What the British did was that
when they were going, they exchanged external
colonialism for internal colonialism. Let me explain it.
On September 30, 1960 – a day before the
proclamation of independence, the British went to Sokoto
and held a mock battle, they fought the forces of the
caliphate. In that mock battle the British pretended that
the caliphate defeated them. And the British
surrendered, they then took the sceptre of the Sultan of
Sokoto which they had earlier captured and handed it
over, symbolising that they were handing over back the
nation Nigeria to the caliphate. The caliphate understood
what was done. That is where the “born to rule”
mentality came from. They were now the new colonial
masters. Because Britain did not want Nigeria to rise
to its full potential, they knew what would happen, so
they said in essence, “You say you want Independence?
You want us to go? We will go but we will hand you
over to someone who will continue to do the job for us.”
On 1st of October, they came to Lagos for the public
ceremony but Nigeria was not free. It was still a
colony, now a colony of the Sokoto Caliphate.
That’s why for years in Nigeria – ask the elders –
nothing gets done in Nigeria unless the Sultan of Sokoto
says “Go ahead.” Even Obasanjo, when he was Head
of State, he was a proxy of the Caliphate. Even Gowon
was a proxy of the Caliphate. Have you forgotten that it
was Gowon who took the schools from the missions? It
was Gowon who took all the Christian schools in 1972
and till today in Nigeria, no Muslim school has been
taken by government. No single one. Rather,
Government is using public funds to run Islamic schools.
But they took all the schools of Christians and they were
taken by a Christian Head of State. And we were in
that second bondage until God raised a mad man because
only a mad man would do what Abacha did – you dared
to touch the Sultan of Sokoto! Abacha invaded Sokoto,
captured the Sultan, deposed him, sent him on exile and
appointed his own Sultan. By that singular act, Abacha
exalted the throne of Nigeria above the throne of the
Sultan of the Caliphate. Nigeria was free!
The moment Abacha did that, the first casualty of the
new throne of Nigeria, was Abacha himself. The throne
said, “You can’t sit down here” and kicked him out.
Abdusallam Abubakar, negotiated, “Just give me one
year, I’m leaving. I want to hand over to one of your
children.” So he handed over to Obasanjo. Whether he
now did the right thing or he did the wrong thing, it
doesn’t matter. But that throne recognises a covenant
child. After Obasanjo left, he made a mistake – he
handed it over to Yar’adua. The throne said, “What?”
and handed it over to Jonathan. That’s what is going
on, Church. Now there is a battle in the heavenlies for
2015. You need to understand why there is a struggle
for 2015. You just read it in the newspapers. There is
a struggle; why? Because this year 2014, Nigeria
entered Jubilee. Jubilee is 50 years. 100 years ended –
that’s two jubilees. The third jubilee for Nigeria has
started. Yeah! The president who takes Nigeria into the
next jubilee is the one who will gain control for the next
100 years – the Muslims understand it. They want
2015. Once they get 2015, we are locked up for the
next 100 years. So the issue has nothing to do with
whether Jonathan is performing or is not performing.
Are you getting my point? Go to Kingdomnewsng.com
and read the prophetic destiny of Jonathan. You are the
ones complaining that Jonathan is slow, Jonathan is not
performing. Eeeh! You are using your mouth to say
what God doesn’t want to hear. Jonathan is 100%
successful. Intercessors asked, “Lord why did you give
us this man? He doesn’t seem to know what he is
doing.” And God says, “He’s not there to give you
employment, he’s not there to restore your economy; the
job – the destiny of Goodluck – is to rebuild the
foundation of Nigeria” and Jonathan is 100% successful.
Where did he get the courage to convene National
Conference? That is what is going to rebuild the
foundation. So if you say Jonathan has failed, God
says, “He has not failed, what I asked him to do, he is
doing it.” What he needs is the prayers of the Church,
that he will be able to carry it through. You know the
National Conference was almost scuttled. I received a
call overnight that “Go and call your people in the
South-West, this is what the Hausas are planning o.”
They were going to scatter the National Conference.
Everything had been put in place. It was the Middle
belt that saved it. Middle belt said, ”Look, we are no
longer part of the North. We are Middle belt, we are
not North. If you do it, you are on your own. It fell
out of their hands.
After OIC broke Nigeria into little bits and pieces, they
now began to analyse. They said the North-West and
the North-East are sufficiently Islamic, they needed
Sharia. In North-Central, they developed four action
plans: indigeneship for the Hausa-Fulani, they want to
provide social services, they want to give promotion to
officers of Middle belt and then capture resistant tribes
by force, I showed you part of it. For the South-East,
OIC said Christianity in the South-East appears
formidable but it is mercantile Christianity. It said it
can be bought and it can be sold; that’s the word. They
studied us and said all we need to do is give the Ibo
man sufficient money, he will drop the Bible, he will
pick the Quran – and it is working beautifully.
As of today, half of Abakaliki has converted to Islam.
As of today, the largest Islamic study centre in Nigeria
is in Ibo land, in Ebonyi State. If you monitor the
news, January 2014, 18 young Ibo men converted to
Islam at the National Mosque Abuja. It was carried
live on NTA.
The governors of Sokoto and Bauchi states gave each
one of them 5 million naira. Governor Rochas Okorocha
gave them N2 million. Ex-governor, Orji Uzo Kalu,
gave them N1 million. Of course, Rochas now turned
around and said “No,” that he did not give them any
money – something that NTA carried. I’ve had the
privilege to go to Ibo land and do this presentation. I
have told the Ibo brethren, “Don’t expect bomb, there
will be no AK47, expect naira rain.” They will pump
money into Ibo and they are pumping money into Ibo
land. If you are from the East, please get in touch with
our people there. Tell them everything is not money.
Don’t sell your birth right. Three plans of the OIC for
Ibo land include: encourage Muslim businessmen to go
into partnership with the Ibos, encourage Ibos to become
cattle rearers; encourage Ibo girls to marry Hausa
Muslims.
That’s the plan. They have activated it. I’m telling you
something that was planned 30 years ago and as you are
sitting down here, if I ask you, “Can you show me the
strategy document of the Church?” The Church has no
plan. We are just trying to draw up one now. The
Church has no plan. Islam has put its own in place 30
years ago. They are implementing it step by step. For
the South-West, Islam said concerning Yoruba land,
“Both Islam and Christian are superficial.” That is: If
a Yoruba man tells you he is a Muslim or if he tells
you he’s a Christian; OIC says “Don’t mind him,
he’s not a serious one. He’s not committed to any other
religion. The real religion of the Yoruba man is
traditional worship.” Their strategy for Yoruba land is
that they would start an Islamic movement that looks
like Christianity. That Islamic movement would be
meeting on Sunday morning. They would call themselves
brothers and sisters, they would do weddings like
Christian, they would do vigils like Christians, they
would do ‘praise and worship’ like Christians. If you
buy land for your camp ground on Lagos-Ibadan
Expressway, they would buy their own land, when you
are having your Holy Ghost service they too would have
their holy service without the Ghost so that in the
process of time, the Muslim in the Yoruba land will see
no difference between Christianity and Islam. When you
now go out on evangelism, they will tell you “Haba!
Kilode? Seb’olorun kan naa la jo nsin” that is, “Why?
We are serving the same God.” Whatever you are doing
in the Church, they are doing in the mosque – OIC
agenda! It has been in place. You’re seeing it with
your eyes but you don’t know what you are seeing. The
question now is what is your response?
For South-South, there is nothing much. All they said
is, “Let us look for radical youths in the South-South,
give them scholarship in Arab nations, convert them and
send them back. Their first experiment was Asari
Dokubo; it worked beautifully! They have hundreds of
youths from the Niger Delta. They are in Kuwait, they
are in Dubai, they are in Iran, they are there now and
they are taking them and they are giving them
scholarship, giving them money. Those ones that come
back may not convert to Islam, but they will have a soft
spot for Islam. Go to the Niger-Delta now; If you are
from Niger Delta go back home, and find out how many
houses in your town were owned by the indigenes 10 year
ago and how many houses are owned by Muslims. You
will be shocked – they have bought nearly all the houses.
Niger Delta: Port-Harcourt, Yenogoa, Bayelsa – they
are buying property there. Why? They want the oil and
the gas.
We are looking at it and we don’t know what we are
seeing. When Islam plans, Islam plans 25 years in
advance. They are master strategists. It is Christians
that don’t plan. They (the Muslims) strategise; they
plan. They have laid the foundation to take the whole of
Nigeria; but it is not too late. God is still talking now;
so let us wake up and pick race and reverse whatever
they’ve planned to do. OIC wrote a letter which we
were able to get a copy with the seal of Babangida on it
in Febraury1990. There are two points that I want to
draw your attention to. The first is point 3: Babangida
was instructed by OIC: “Place total ban hereafter on
all forms of worship by Christian, Hamadiyahs and all
tribal religions. Point 4: “Impose Sharia law on
Nigeria” (this was 1990); islamise all universities,
colleges and schools and courts of law in the “Federal
Islamic Sultanate of Nigeria.” Can you see that?
They’ve changed the name of your country – it’s not
Federal Republic of Nigeria, it is Federal Islamic
Sultanate of Nigeria, with the Sultan of Sokoto as the
spiritual head. Wake up! This is how it is worldwide.
Terrible rage against the Church worldwide. Mr Olisa
Agbakoba is already fighting this in his individual
capacity.
We may not have time to talk, but I quickly need to
mention this: October 1988, the Christian Council of
South Africa wrote letters to leaders of the Church in
Nigeria warning them – and let me read it out for you –
that “There is a proposed plan by northern Muslims and
their Arab OIC supporters to destroy churches; carry
out mass murder of Christians in Nigeria with more
intensity in the northern states of Nigeria.” I was at
the Western theological seminary doing this presentation
when one of the elderly lecturers there got up and said
“That is correct; I received a copy of this letter. I
made copies and I gave it to leaders of the Church.”
But the question is “What did the Church do?”
Nothing! Now, we’re seeing it with our eyes –mass
murders of Christians in Nigeria, with more intensity in
Northern states of Nigeria. It’s not a lie. So, if
anyone thinks that Boko Haram is restricted to the
north, go think again.
Unless the Church rises and stops them, Boko Haram
will come to the South. You know they came to Osun
state. I hope you heard the story. They brought a bomb
inside a bank in Osun state. People were vigilant and
they saw that two Hausa men who came carrying a bag,
left the bag, and they walked out of the bank; so people
ran out, and they called the police, and the police came
and saw that that it was a bomb and they defused it.
I’m sure you remember they were to bomb the Third
Mainland Bridge. I’m sure you remembered they were
to bomb it on Friday. God exposed it on Wednesday.
They don’t give up. The Church holds the key, but
before the church can pray, and God will hear and
answer, the Church must first return to repentance. The
Church must first return to discipleship; the Church
must return to holiness; because we cannot continue like
this and expect God to hear us.
There are 50 nations in the world that persecute
Christians…50 nations in the world. As of today the
worst nation where Christians are persecuted is Nigeria.
Nigeria carries 66% of all the Christians killed
worldwide. I’m not even quoting Nigerian sources, I’m
quoting World Watch list. They said between November,
2011 and October, 2012, 1201 killings of Christians
were recorded worldwide of which 791 happened in
Nigeria – 66% – which means persecution of Christians
is worse in Nigeria than in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq,
Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Egypt, Libya – all of
them combined. If it has not got to you, it’s on its way,
but it will not get to you. My job is to give you this
information so that you can go and reassess your
Christian life as an individual and as a Church. On the
map of Africa, every area that has Muslim majority
today used to be Christian nations. The early Church
fathers were based in North Africa. Islam overran
everybody. Islam is pushing down; Christianity is
pushing up; we’re meeting at that red line. 90% of all
the conflicts in Africa take place along that line which
proves that primarily every conflict in Africa is a
religious conflict. It’s not a political conflict. It’s Islam
pushing down. And if you look carefully, that is where
the Middle Belt is, and that’s why I’m appealing to
Christians in Nigeria, particularly in the South. Plateau
State is our responsibility; Benue state is our
responsibility we must do everything possible to reinforce
Christianity in the Middle Belt, because if Islam should
penetrate the Middle Belt, the South is gone. The
Southern Christian is not ready to die. If they want to
stop people going to Church, all they would do is they
would just bomb one Church in Lekki, bomb one in
Mushin and bomb one in Bariga.
I want to talk to you about the Voice of Christian
Martyrs. We have 450 children that we rescued from
the North. Their parents have been killed. They are the
children that I told you we had to go outside of Nigeria
to get support for. Nigerian Church is not helping. I
want to encourage the women in this assembly. If you
find time, you can go to Abeokuta. The house where
they are being kept was built by Canadian Christians.
Those children are receiving free education, free clothing
and free feeding. Some of them are now in the
university. They started arriving from the year 2000,
after the Sharia riots in Kaduna. We started bringing
them. We need the support of Christians. God expects
Nigerian Christians to support.
Please get this information to the children. Tell our
youths, let them understand. Tell our girls, our
daughters, “Don’t go out with a Muslim.” There is a
deliberate agenda to capture the daughters of Zion.
Don’t go out with a Muslim. The Muslims will never
allow their daughters to marry a Christian but they will
come after Christians. Islam did not create Nigeria.
The Islamist agenda that has been unleashed against
Nigeria shall fail.

v=5FhYpKBKusQE UP CALL TO THE NIGERIAN CHURCH
Transcript of a presentation delivered by Bosun
Emmanuel at the Redeemed Christian Church of God,
Canaan Land Parish.
- The Church in Nigeria lacks information
My name is Bosun Emmanuel. A little bit about myself
and the ministry: I was ordained in the Redeemed
Christian Church of God as an Assistant Pastor, as a
full pastor and I was the National Coordinator of the
RCCG in Germany for many years. The Lord sent us
packing from Germany in 2006, and told me to go back
home. Of course you wouldn’t want to return to Nigeria
if you were living in Germany – you know what I mean.
And when we asked, “What are we supposed to do in
Nigeria? There is nothing.” He said “You have an
assignment, go and meet the information needs of the
Church. The Church in Nigeria lacks information.” And
the Bible says my people perish for lack of knowledge.
Brethren, I am here to do only one thing – to give you
information. What you are going to do with the
information depends on you. But I pray you will use
that information wisely. Because I have very heavy
news for you, we are in serious trouble. Now let me
quickly make certain points very clear:
1. My presentation is not to strike panic in you. I’m
going to show you some things that will make you afraid,
but the intention is not to strike fear into you. I am not
a rabble-rouser; I’m not here to whip up emotions or to
whip up sentiments. Please let’s get that very clearly.
2. I’m not here to instil fear in any Christian. I’m
here to be an agent of revival, such that after you
receive this information, there will be revival in the
church and you will become an ambassador.
3. I want to move the church to repentance. The
Nigerian Church has gone the wrong way. We must
repent.
4. I want us to foster unity. We are divided. Jesus
Christ said a house that is divided [against itself], it
cannot stand. We need prayers for Nigeria; we need
prayers for the Church.
And then, this is not a hate speech. I don’t hate
Muslims and I don’t want you to hate Muslims, but
I’m going to tell you a lot of things the Muslims are
doing that may get you angry. Please, do not hate them
– they are not your enemies. Both the Muslims and the
Christians have only one enemy – his name is Lucifer.
The reason we are in this crisis in Nigeria today is
because the church primarily has forsaken its
responsibility.
Finally, I want us to return to discipleship which we
have abandoned 20 years ago. The Nigerian Church in
the past 20 years has stopped raising disciples. We
don’t have disciples anymore. The Nigerian Church has
now focused on raising millionaires. And we forget that
on the day of crisis, the millionaire will catch the next
available flight and fly out of the country; only disciples
would stand to defend the church.
We are at war. Look, if anybody tells you it is peace
and safety, no! Don’t say that now, we are at war.
There is a full scale war against the Church. And right
now Nigeria is fighting a civil war. Nobody wants to say
it, but there is a war going on. For the Church to
survive, the church needs disciples. Now, let me show
you elements of that war. I will show you some images.
First Baptist Church in Potiskum has been burnt down.
ECWA, Church of God Mission and several other
churches have been set on fire by the foot soldiers of
Islam. They are called Almajiris.
See how our brethren are being killed and cut to pieces.
As I am talking to you, this is what is going on in
Nigeria. I’m not talking about what is going on in
Somalia; I’m not talking about what is going on in
Sudan. This is what is going on in your country right
now. This is how Christians are murdered in this
nation; they are cut to pieces. The hatred is satanic and
the reason we’re having this problem is because the
Church forsook missions. We refused to go; we all sat
down in Lagos, in Ibadan, in Port-Harcourt, nourishing
our souls. We forgot those in the North. Because we
failed to evangelise them, the harvest that was ripe
2000 years ago, the harvest is rotten. Boko Haram is
the rotten harvest. If we had reached them before the
terrorists reached them, they would be carrying the
Bible, not AK 47.
See, God is not holding Boko Haram responsible for
what is going on in Nigeria; He’s holding the Church
responsible. Terrible cases that you’ll never believe are
going on in your country. All these are Christians. I’m
going to show you a movie footage – it is a footage of
501 Christians that were slaughtered in one night
including children, in a village called Dogonaawa, in
Jos. This took place in Nigeria. You can’t finish
watching the footage; and it is still taking place as I’m
talking now.
The reality is this: it is not localised to the North.
What I just showed you is planned to take place all over
Nigeria and Christianity in Nigeria is on its way out.
We’ve come to that point that every Christian in
Nigeria must consciously say, “I will not be the last
Christian in this Nation” because if we don’t take time
we are the last Christians. I will explain and God will
give me grace. Nigeria is on the verge. God doesn’t
want Nigeria to explode. God doesn’t want Nigeria to
break to pieces, God doesn’t want destruction in
Nigeria. God has an agent in Nigeria to prevent
whatever evil we see that is going on. God has an agent
to stop corruption, to stop oppression, to stop terrorism,
to stop kidnapping. God has an agent whom He has
empowered and assigned: “This is your job”. That
agent is the Church.
Now, it is because the Church has failed, that’s why
the Church is responsible for whatever evil happenings
you see in Nigeria. Hold the Church responsible. And
that means you and I are to be held responsible. We
are not doing what we are supposed to do. How sick is
Nigeria? Now, let’s quickly look at the sickness of our
nation. When you say somebody is sick, you look at the
blood vessels – right? You look at the bones, you look
at the skin, and you look at the brain. Let’s try and
find out.
Let’s look at the blood vessels of Nigeria and see what
is going on in our country. Right before our eyes,
Nigeria is becoming desolate and the Church is singing
and dancing. Rivers and streams are drying up. If you
travel a lot across Nigeria, when you get to bridges,
watch – rivers are becoming sandy beds, they are drying
up. Let’s look at the forests which we will liken to the
skin of Nigeria. Years ago, you see Nigeria with thick
forests. This is Nigeria today; they call it deforestation.
This is the country today– the skin is going. How sick
is your country? There used to be mineral resources
that provided employment in the 60’s. In the whole of
Plateau State, people were mining bauxite, aluminium
all over the place. This is Nigeria today. Nothing is
going on.
How sick is Nigeria? Look at Nigeria’s bowel. There
used to be infrastructure. There is no infrastructure
working in this Nation anymore. The bomb is already
ticking. There is a young rascal that has grabbed hold
of Nigeria around the Northeast zone and that young
man is already tilting Nigeria. They call his name Boko
Haram. If we don’t get this guy to stop, Nigeria is
going to somersault. And that is where we are standing
now. In fact our situation is so terrible that America
had to come in to help us. France is now saying “We
have to come and help you”. Nations of the world are
now saying “We have to come and help you”. And yet
the largest Christian auditorium in the whole world is in
Nigeria. The largest gathering of Christians in the
whole world is Nigeria. But Nigeria cannot solve its
problems. We pray like nobody, so what is going on?
How does our nation fare?
Let’s take a look at Isaiah Chapter 1 Verses 6 to 9. I
read verse 7: The Word of God says “Your country is
desolate, your cities are burned with fire, your land,
strangers devour it in your presence.” You know that is
true. The Chinese are the ones taking the jobs,
Nigerians are unemployed; the Indians are the ones
owning the companies, Nigerians have no jobs. Strangers
are devouring our land right before our eyes and nobody
is asking why. “And the daughter of Zion is acting as a
cottage in vineyard, as a log in the valley of cucumbers,
as a besieged city. Except the Lord of hosts had left us
a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom
and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.”
The immorality, the wickedness, the oppression that is
taking place in Nigeria on a daily basis is more than
enough for God to send brimstones and fire but thank
God for the small remnant that God left. I pray you are
one of those remnants; if you’re not, please join them.
Believe me, it is the remnant that is keeping Nigeria.
Now, let’s go to the next phase – Abuja declaration,
1989. If you go to Wikipedia.org and type into the
search engine, “Abuja Declaration 1989” this
information will come up. Islam in Africa held a
conference in Abuja, in 1989. At the end of it, they
issued a declaration and it goes:
To eradicate in all its forms and ramifications, all non-
Muslim religions in member nations. (Now, Nigeria is a
member nation) Such religions shall include Christianity.
Now please note these words, “to eradicate in all its
forms and ramifications all non-Muslim religions; such
religions shall include Christianity.” The word
“Christianity” in the communiqué was underlined.
To ensure only Muslims are elected to all political
positions of member nations.
To ensure the appointment of only Muslims into strategic
national and international posts of member nations.
To ensure the ultimate replacement of western forms of
legal and judicial systems with the Sharia
Then, to make sure that this strategy works; because
it’s going to require money, Babangida, as the self-
appointed president of Nigeria, put his hand into the
treasury of Nigeria, took $ 21 billion dollars out and
gave it to OIC- to the Islamic development fund of
OIC and said, “Take this money, for the total…” I’m
quoting, “…for the total Islamization of Nigeria in
particular and Africa in general.” Babangida paid $ 21
billion dollars of our money to turn Nigerian into an
Islamic nation and they have started. Don’t look at it as
something that is isolated to the Northeast. It is meant
to cover the entire nation until Christianity is eradicated
in all its forms and ramifications.
By the grace of God, I happen to be a member of the
National Conference. And I’m the delegate of the
Christian Association of Nigeria from the Southwest. I
represent Christians from the Southwest at the National
Conference. I’m part of the religion committee and I’m
also part of the inter-faith committee. We sit down with
Muslims to discuss this matter, to resolve this issue.
We reached a deadlock and the deadlock is in separation
of state and religion – I will talk a little bit about that.
Can they do it? The answer is yes, they can if we allow
them.
So God told us to go to Turkey and learn some certain
things. September last year, God spoke to Dr Vincent
Anigbogu, the Director General of the National Institute
of Transformation, and God told him that if care is not
taken, in 30 to 40 years Nigeria will be like Turkey.
And God told him: “Go and learn what happened to
Turkey.” Now, Turkey used to be 100% Christian.
Today Turkey is 96.04% Islam. Christianity in
Turkey is 0.21% and God is speaking that if you don’t
take care, Nigeria will end like Turkey. Christianity
was in Turkey for 1123 years; Islam uprooted it.
Christianity in Nigeria is 172 years old if we take the
starting date from 1872, when Methodist Reverend
Batch Freeman arrived in Badagry.
You would remember that the Catholics came first in the
13th Century; they did some Church planting around
Warri and Benin Kingdom. They left in 1622, and then
the Methodists came back in 1842, about 200 years
after that. It is that coming of the Methodists that now
developed into what we have as Christianity today. So,
effectively, Christianity in Nigeria is 172 years old.
Now, the point is this, if Islam can uproot the one that
had been planted for 1123 years in Constantinople. Tell
me, can they not uproot the one that is just 172 years
old?
As a matter of fact, Nigeria does not come near the
spiritual foundation of Turkey. All the seven Churches
that Jesus Christ wrote letters to in the book of
Revelation were located in Turkey. Apostle Paul, the
champion of the Church, was a citizen of Turkey. The
Macedonia vision that Paul saw – “Come over to
Macedonia and help us – Paul received it in Turkey.
Turkey had solid Christian foundation, Islam uprooted
everything. So if the Nigerian Church is deceiving
itself, hey! There is fire on the roof o!
I work with the Voice of Christian Martyrs and we go
all over the North. I met the people one on one. We go
to the North, it’s not that I’m living in Lagos and
somebody is bringing information, I go there – to
Maiduguri, to Kaduna, to Kano. I go to meet the
Christians who are being persecuted and I must protest
that the Church in the South is a selfish and a wicked
group of believers because you abandoned the Christians
in the North.
Look, God is the God of justice and God is the God of
judgement; let’s not provoke Him to repay us with our
wickedness. Because if God looks at what the Christians
in the South have done to Christians in the North, He
will fold His arms and allow Boko Haram to deal with
us. We have to go to U.S, to Canada, to Poland, to
Australia, to New Zealand to raise Christians that will
help and support Christians in the North – the Nigerian
Church is not lifting a finger. It’s not that you don’t
have money, the Nigerian Church has money, but they
help nobody. They only take and take and take; they
don’t give jack.
When God spoke to Professor Anigbogu, he said the
Nigerian Church is guilty of the sin of irresponsibility.
To the Church in Laodicea, God says, “You are blind,
you are wretched, you are naked.” To the Church in
Sardis, God says, “You have a name that you live, but
you are dead.” To the Nigerian Church, God says,
“You are irresponsible” – what the Yorubas call
oniranu. We have been given so much, we have
delivered little. We only think about ourselves, we are
consumed with our comfort, our convenience, our
promotion, our breakthrough; we don’t even see what is
going on around us.
As I am talking to you, Christians are still being killed
and churches burnt down, and we have men of God in
this country who can stand and say, “No!” It’s a pity
Arch. Bishop Idahosa is dead. If that man was alive,
maybe things would not have been like this. And we
should thank God for small mercies that we have
someone like Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor as the President of
Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN). The people
that abuse him the most are the Christians. And believe
me, if that man was not the president of CAN, you
can’t sit down here today. The reason you can sit down
is because somebody is still standing – and he’s standing
alone while other pastors are abusing him. Go online and
read what Christians are writing about CAN, about
Pastor Oritsejafor; you will weep.
God said on September 15, 2103, “If care is not
taken, in 20 to 30 years Nigeria will be like Turkey.”
Dr. Anigbogu told us this at a strategy meeting in CAN
in November last year. God told him to learn from
Turkey. And what did the Most High say? “Find out
how Christianity was destroyed in Turkey.” And
Professor Anigbogu discovered that every mistake that
the Christians in Turkey made, that led to the collapse
of Christianity; the Nigerian Church is repeating those
mistakes steps by step, one by one:
1. The Church in Turkey underestimated the young
Ottoman ruler the same way the Nigerian Church is
underestimating Islam. I have met Church leaders who
have argued with me: “It’s not possible, it’s not.” You
mean what they are doing there, that they would do it
here? No way!” No way? You don’t know Islam, you
do not know the spirit that is behind Islam. Can you
imagine? Could you imagine it until you saw it here?
Could you imagine that somebody would take a cutlass
and split the head of a child?
When you were coming to Church this morning, did it
occur to you? Could you imagine that somebody would
burn another human being simply because he doesn’t
believe in what he believes in? They went to a Church
in Bogoro on Sunday, locked the doors, stood outside,
threw cans of petrol inside the church and set it on fire.
They refused to allow the Christians to come out and
roasted 70 people inside Church on Sunday.
At Deeper Life in Gombe, the church was having prayer
meeting in the evening when three assailants lined up the
window with AK47 and sprayed everybody. I was there.
I saw the place. In fact I brought a piece of stone from
Jos, from the mass grave of the 500. Ah! You can’t
believe it! The Nigerian Church is underestimating
Islam!
2. The Church in Constantinople which was the old
name for Istanbul, which is now the commercial capital
of Turkey; from where everybody in Turkey now spread
out, they assumed that Constantinople was the best
defended city in Europe. The Nigerian Church is
making the same mistake. They think they are the
largest Church in Africa, the largest in the world – it’s
a mistake! It doesn’t stop Islam. The leadership of the
Church in Turkey, within and outside, was bitterly
divided. Is the Church in Nigeria united? Jesus Christ
says a house that is divided cannot stand. On the basis
of that alone, if Islam does not divide the Church, the
babalawos will do it. We are not working as one, but
thank God, it is beginning to change.
What makes me happy is that Church leaders are now
beginning to listen to us. So everything I’m telling you
this morning, I’m passing to you information and I have
to tell you the way it is so that you can be galvanised
into righteous action. Racism and tribalism weakened the
Church in Turkey; racism and tribalism is weakening
the body of Christ in Nigeria. We brought our petty
politics inside the Church. That is the same mistake
they made in Turkey, that Islam is now 96%- the
Church is now 0.21%. The Nigerian Church is making
the same mistake and God is warning! “The way you
people are going, I have seen it before o! This thing
that you are doing in Nigeria, I have seen it before o! I
saw it in 1453, before you were born. You’re making
the same mistake o. You are going the same way. I will
give you 30 years; I will hold them back for 30 years.
If after 30 years you don’t change, I will take my
hands off your case.”
All the Christians have to come together, stand as one
and say no to Islam. But see, it is Christians who are
abusing CAN, and Christians refuse to fund CAN.
Now, how can you execute a war on an empty treasury?
It’s not that the Nigerian Church doesn’t have money.
Let me ask you a question very quickly: what is the
annual revenue of the Nigerian Church? Does anyone
know? No, you don’t. It’s N3 trillion. The Nigerian
Church combined gets an annual revenue in excess of
N3 trillion. How much does the Nigerian Church
contribute to run its umbrella organisation, CAN? You
know? You don’t know? – One million, two hundred and
fifty thousand naira. Each block pays N250, 000
annually. Even that N250, 000, there are blocks that
owe arrears for years; they refuse to pay. So CAN has
no money. Islam took $21 billion, so tell me how you’re
going to fight them with a budget of One million, two
hundred and fifty thousand naira; how are you going to
fight? Meanwhile, God is angry that you are not doing
what He called you to do, that you are now doing your
own thing. So how are you going to fight Islam? Tell
me!
The weapon used to destroy Constantinople was invented
by a Christian. He invented a Canon, Basilica; took it
to Christians to buy. Christians didn’t have the money,
so he carried it to the Muslims, Sultan Melmesh paid
him cash. In three months Basilica was ready. It blew
Constantinople to pieces. The same problem is in
Nigeria. The strategy that the Muslims are using, that
they are going to use to destroy the Church; it is
Christians who are strategising for them. See, we’ve
taught our people to be so sensitive to money that
they’ve lost all sense of spirituality. The only thing the
average Christian thinks about now is how he will get
money. Whether it will cost him his soul; whether it will
compromise his position as a Christian, he doesn’t think
about it anymore. We’ve stopped raising disciples;
we’ve focused on raising millionaires.
APC is a party to watch carefully. I’m not a
politician, but the Church must know this because there
is no way you can separate national politics from what is
going on. I will talk a little bit about APC. But for
2015, APC has hired the campaign manager of Barrack
Obama to come and strategise in Nigeria. When the
man got to Nigeria, he needed a local to interface – the
person he employed is a pastor – to hand over power to
a party that resembles, in all intent and purpose, the
Islamic brotherhood. Even Egypt rejected the Islamic
brotherhood. While we don’t want Islamic brotherhood,
a pastor is the one strategising for Islamic brotherhood
in Nigeria. The weapon that was used to destroy Turkey
was invented by a Christian; the Nigerian Church is
following suit.
Constantinople had an army of 7,000 while the Muslims
had a force of 80,000. The Church does not have an
army. In Constantinople, rather than concentrating on
building men, they concentrated on building a Cathedral.
They built this house called Agia Sophia – the house of
wisdom. In its days, this house was the most
magnificent, the most expensive and the most beautiful
house. This was what the Church concentrated on rather
than building men that could defend this house. On the
day Constantinople fell, there were no men to defend the
city. The first man to enter Agia Sophia was 21 year
old Sultan Mehmed. He headed straight for the altar,
raised his hand and shouted, “Allahu akbar!”, and right
there he commanded, “Convert it into a mosque”. This
is Agia Sophia (showing picture) as a mosque and it
would remain a mosque for 478 years until 1931, when
the government of Turkey went secular, then the
government of Turkey said, “Convert it into a
museum.” But till today, it has not been handed over to
the Church – it is a museum. Now, the Nigerian
Church can decide they want to build a cathedral, but
please let us put the horse before the cart. Let us raise
disciples. Don’t let us repeat this mistake.
