THE TRANSACTORY GOSPEL
_________________________________
Earlier this week, it was circulated in the media
That the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto dioceses was quoted as saying
"There was no Christian genocide in Nigeria".
The Governor of Benue, a supposed Rev. Father vehemently iterated that there was no genocide in Benue state.
I mean with all the statistics and facts available to the public these men of God publicly declared there was no Christian genocide.
That is not even the worst.
Most notable senior Pastors and G.O maybe for some obvious reason have never spoken about this nor at least condemned it.
Then as a Christian, I ask myself.
What is going on.
What will Jesus do, what will Jesus say.
The truth remains that the only thing necessary for evil to prevail, is for good people to do nothing.
I remembered during 2023 General election, there was an uproar.
The Muslim Muslim ticket was the highest affront to us as a nation with religious diversity.
We tried to explain it, excuse it that the wife of the president is a pastor in Redeemed Christian church of God, so and so.
Some make up bishops were paraded as them having the blessings of the Christian community,
Nobody called it out. Not CAN nor PFN took a decisive position on it.
The propaganda was swift.
And now we are here.
What will become of the Christianity in Nigeria in the next 30 years. Will we become worse than turkey? The same ancient city that apostle Paul laboured more abundantly combing inside out for Christ.
Today we as a church we are turning to circular humanism, the prosperity gospel is filling out the pulpit, we are building up cathedrals and buying up property we are upholding as executive members those who give sumptuously in tithes and offerings and regarding as cursed those who do not meet up to give financially.
But the question is those large halls and cathedrals that are now been turned into clubs, mosque and warehouses in Europe and America, who did they belong to 30 years ago.
Where they not once build with church goers' money?? While that was applauded then as it is now, what happened, why are they empty now?
Why is there Islamic banking, Arabic schools, sharia Laws, Islamic nations, Islamic agenda etc yet there simple to be no agenda known to the church for future perpetuity.
How many churches still go out for evangelism, soul winning, missions, crusades devoid of fund raising and arranged miracles.
What has happened to the church.
Why are Christians the ones faulting that President Trump and America have a different agenda other than stopping the genocide in Nigeria.
What has happened to the great commission to go into the world preaching the gospel to all nations and baptising them that believe in the name of the Lord.
Why are we complicit. Why are we relaxed. Why are we living as though this is all there is to life. Why are we not protecting this gospel that has been handed down to us.
When Paul wanted leaving the city of Corinth
One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city. So, he persevered.
The consequence was that it was recorded that so mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.
Dear Christian in Nigeria.
God has you. Nigeria was designated to be the headquarters of Christianity in Africa
Let us not give up nor give in.
Let us be courageous and persevere.
Let us say No to CHRISTIAN GENOCIDE IN NIGERIA.
Let us preach this gospel in season and out of season with courage, boldness and intentionality.
Let us be like the four lepers at the entrance of the gate who took a decision to move forward regardless and as we take these steps, may God magnify our footsteps.
May peace be unto you.
Yours brother in Christ,
Pastor Ferguson.
