Brother Adeboye I beg to disagree wit ur comments. For crying out loud they r worse cases all over d world.
In fact BH case is just minor compare to where christians r killed on a daily basic like chickens. Should I start mentioning names dat we r all aware of.
D gospel fact stil remain, and I do maintain dat as far as chiristiandom is concern u r tested base on God permission to live successfully, and fulfilled within ur confined domain.
He is very correct in South once it rains Sunday morning half of the congregation will be at home...but even in d face of boko haram dis people still serve God..
True cos nowadays you are persecuted and judged because you are Christian. Though that doesn't take away anything from those who do not reside in the North.

Most selfish and stupid perception to life and Christianson itself. We are meant to also preach the word and reach out to people whether comfortable or not. Linda not everything is meant to be blogged. If you don't have an opinion to give don't be starting a fire for no reason. He said tested not true Christian. You mist always throw shades at a pastor. What this is simply means is that Until we preach the gospel in places that are out of our comfort zone/ "perfect" life then we've not been really tested. I agree
You are very very correct sir, at least for Nigerians...Many of us feigning christian in the South are just living in quiet unlike the North where any of your action could be misconstrued and deemed inflammable.
Although am not a member of this man`s Church i respect him a lot! This is nothing but the truth! Until you have a close encounter with death,you wont know how strong you are in faith! God bless you Sir!
This is true. Im yoruba & lived all my life in lagos, active in church, working for God. Then i travelled to d north for my nysc. Thats wheni saw what working ror God meant. I see young pple going on missions into deep villages like its d norm & xtianity is so real u HAVE TO work wt d holy spirit to get any results.
And hausa xtians are just different. So humble & content. Unlike leaders in some churches in lagos.
I agree 100%.. After I served in the core north with all their sharia laws and strict religious practices I realised we have it very rosy at the other side. ( East ,West and south). I was very inspired and motivated by the christian minority.. In the face of intense persecution they're still firm in the faith. God bless the Christians over there. It changed my life. Thank God I served in the north.
We r all tested in different ways! Whether in north or south, east or west. Dats why we pray everyday dat God shld deliver us fr temptation. It's a temptation for a born again bro on lib to skip Kim k, Beyonce, rose and many other pictures on lib without viewing.
you are just leaving in a fool's paradise. i pity all you southern christians shouting sai buhari because you are adding to the pains of the northern christian minority.
Daddy G.O. PLEASE HELP ME!!! MY MOTHER IS A WITCH. I NEED TO ESCAPE. MY ENEMY HAS MEDICAL ISSUES. I NEED HEALING SO I CAN ESCAPE. PLEASE HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!
I disagree. In our daily lives, we are tested. Our thoughts, speech, interactions, attitudes and so on, go a long way to test our faith/belief in God. Even if we go by that assumption, what about the christians in Libya, Pakistan, CAR, Egypt, etc? So I beg to disagree with the statement.
Iraq nko? or even dealing with Religious Gangters who try to screw your family over via fraudulence especially when you have a pressing issue regarding life!
Yes, the North is too far sir, what about the following:
1. Innocent looking priests who sodomize your sons that go to confession or mass servers meetings OR your daughters who innocently go for catechism classes and invited for a special meeting by the Parish priest. smh** - u return damaged with gifts of the rosary, books and 'deflowered'. Yhey are too traumatised to even mention to parents and so they live with the secret for life!
2. So called gifted pastors who abuse trust and teach your little daughters bad things in the name of counselling.
3. The prophet/pastor who treats his wife like sh...t and gives out millions to unsuspecting members and visitors and if the wife tries to cry out, the women organisation within the church will say she is possessed and trying to distract the anointing!
4. The celebrated Bishop who carefully designs a teaching to address a personal matter, you discussed in confidence and woe betide you if he referred you to other pastors and before you know it, a condescending 'bless you' is heard from far too many people with that look of 'I know your business'...eeeeya. smh
5. The special clicks formed in churches where if you don't belong to a group that contributes certain amount of money, and drives a certain type of car, you cant see the senior pastor that easy. You will wait for a year like you want to see the President of a country!
A lot is very close testing your very stand as a Christian, so I beg to differ, the North is too far, people are suffering from psychological trauma just by joining a church thinking they are home.
I have found that you have to sit down with God and carry His word and hear Him daily. Anywhere He leads you is where you settle without getting close to too many people. Phew, I should write a book!
If any one of these happened to you, don't be discouraged, its a test. Get up and fight back. Determine to rise above the horrible experience to become a renowned leader!
From: A very informed observer and seasoned Christian
First of all are U a true christian? Have U ever truly accepted Jesus in ur life? When and where was that? I'm not talking about belonging to a pentecostal church or merely being churchy as it's endermic in Nigeria today. Only when U give a sincere answer to these questions, we can then even think about whether it's tested or not. Only those who have truly met the Lord will stand anywhere and anyweather, not the churchy or yoppy christains we see these days. Take it or leave it.
Ppl have seen things in the north, but there is a different type of persecution here in the South. The mental one by the media tainting the things of God in our minds
My dear U can only understand this viewpoint only if U have live in the north before. The taste of christianity in the north is stronger in the north than here down south. I knew this since I moved down south. On persecution, U wud agree with me that it's harder to resist life threatning temptation than mental temptations. A man would rather give up anything to stay alive..
Very true! I know myself if I happen to live in d north I probably wld av stopped going to church bcos of d frequent attacks in d northeastern part of d country
How about your are not tested a christian if you're not impoverished.... $100 million for u and people in the north are suffering Please can you state to people that you're a business man as well??... pfft
To be a tested christian you must live the word of God which among others are: "If you want to be a disciple of mine, you must pick up your cross daily and follow me." "Go sell all that you have, give it to the poor, then come and follow me." Living in the North does not make you Christlike but living the word of God where ever you may be does!
Dears, truth be told, the taste of christianity in the north is stronger than what it is here in the south. I knew this since I moved down south. As regards persecution, U wud agree with me that it's harder to resist life threatning temptation than mental temptations which people claim to face here in the south. A man would rather give up or yield to anything to stay alive.. The scripture in the book of Revelation typifies christians in the north..as it reads: "and they overcame him by the blood of the lamb and by the word of their testimony and they LOVED NOT THEIR LIVES UNTO THE DEATH" . The part of this scripture which may be probably unattestable for southern christians is that portion in capital letters.
Any reason for dat sir?

ReplyDeleteU r an idiot!

ReplyDeleteSorry daddy, I won't agree wit you on this
ReplyDeleteYou are very very correct sir, at least for Nigerians...Many of us feigning christian in the South are just living in quiet unlike the North where any of your action could be misconstrued and deemed inflammable.
