Why Nigeria cannot be Islamized

-
Bishop Taiwo Akinola, of the Rhema
Christian Church, has spoken about the
alleged plans by the government to
Islamize Nigeria.
He spoke on Saturday at a conference
organised the Christ Global Network, CGN.
Akinola who spoke with reporters after the
programme stressed that fresh people
with fresh ideas and innovations should
be encouraged to participate in politics.
He said, “Younger people must be
encouraged to get involved in governance
to inject new thoughts, new ideas, new
sensibility into our polity. We have been
having recycled beings all these while.”
Asked if he believed that killings in
different states of the federation mostly
in the Middle Belt, were geared towards
Islamising the country, he said, “I don’t
like using that word. It has been
bastardised.
“This is my conviction, Jesus said I will
build my church and the gates of hell
shall not prevail against it. So my
position on that is that even if it’s, at the
last minute, heaven will sound and rescue
its people because Jesus said the gates
of hell SHALL NOT.
“So no matter the pessimism anybody can
nurse, the devil cannot win. So nobody
can islamise this country. There can only
be a better tomorrow for Nigeria. That’s
part of the game plan of our shouting and
involvement, it’s to sensitize everybody
that nobody can Islamize Nigeria,” he
stated.
“The younger people are better than us in
exposure and the rest. I think that it can
go a long way if it is properly articulated
but I also must remember that the
President said the people should not
contest against him in 2019.”
Talking about the President’s integrity, he
added that some people fake integrity,
arguing that, “Integrity which says you
don’t steal money but you steal
opportunities is fake integrity but a
Christian won’t do that because the Bible
says the Lord our God is one.
“Integrity is rooted in God. I believe
children of God are the people who can
really, truly, sincerely and honestly do
that.
“I don’t believe that if a Christian goes
into politics, he will be acting like a
professional politician who will do all the
things that politicians are known for but
rather they will stand for the truth and
their word will be their bond. So I think
it’s high time that Christians get there,”
he noted.

Don't loose hope By David Ibiyeomie

DON’T LOSE HOPE When God wants to visit you, He makes a dry place (wilderness) to become a fruitful ground. Our God specializes in doing new things. Forget what you have passed through before now; God will do a new thing. He will open up a new chapter in your life now in Jesus name! Isaiah 43: 18-19 -Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. No matter how battered and shattered your life was before now, God said He will do a new thing beginning from now. In the same area where men and women have completely written you off, God will visit you if you believe it in the name of Jesus! Genesis 21:1,7 - And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken. And she said, who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? For I have bor...

Chinese authorities bulldozed a registered church building July 17 without warning to make way for construction of a new neighborhood and train station. International Christian Concern (ICC) reported that more than 70 police officers and workers showed up to take down the Liangwang Catholic Church building in China’s Shandong province. They lacked the proper documentation, but it didn’t matter. Church officials Gao Rongli, Zhang Siling and Li Xiangmei – who were inside the building -- had their phones confiscated and destroyed. It took only 15 minutes to demolish the building using bulldozers and pickaxes, according to ICC. Officials spared nothing, destroying the altars, benches and furnishings. “The disproportionate manpower used to demolish this church goes to show that China is fearful of Christians,” said Gina Goh, ICC’s regional manager. “The government knew that the demolition in the name of urban zoning would be met with resistance, so it ensured succes...
