Bishop David Oyedepo Finally Declares Spiritual Warfare Against Boko Haram

Bishop David Oyedepo of the living Faith Church has launched warfare against the Boko haram sect yesterday during the mid-week service in Ota.

He said it is time that God came down in his anger and descend on the sect called Boko haram, their sponsors and their supporters. According to him the man called Shekau shall be facing the full wrath of God and will not exceed this season as god will show himself towards saving Nigeria from the clutches of the sect.

He has however declared concerted intercession of warfare against the sect and implores all Nigerians to fervently engage the misery of God’s word and declare fire and brimstone upon the sect.
In his own words “May they never be saved, may they never experience salvation. It will be a spiritual insult to the kingdom to see mass-murderer and children abductors in the same kingdom that God has promised for the saved” believers.

Right or wrong?  You decide.

NO MORE WARS! TIME TO GO ON OUR KNEES Blog Posted onMay 3, 2014 7:47:48 PM

My dearest brothers and sisters in the Lord, I want to beg you for your support, understanding and maturity in this matter. Please let’s lay down our swords and allow God of Peace to reign. Neither Pastor Anita nor Pastor Chris wrote the bible. They are only trying to believe like you and I so please give them allowance to make mistake and correct it. If this is an attack of the enemy, let’s join hands together and raise our voice in prayer for them. Fight won’t help.


Please everyone favoured to be around them, remember that you may have been born or privilege to be there for such a time as this. Don’t be an Ahitophel, don’t be a bad counsellor, don’t sow seed of discord, don’t encourage what you do not wish for yourself, siblings, children, other family members and friends or next generation. Material things will perish, what will God recognise you for? Remember 1Corinthians10:12   BE GOD’S VOICE!


Good afternoon my dearest pastor and father. Pastor Sir, I love you so much and I am so passionate about you and Rev Anita. You have done so much and you are both father and mother to me. Pastor Sir, my heart is heavy and my eyes filled with tears and I’m writing to you as a true son that you have trained to be respectful, loving and bold. Pastor you thought us to be bold and you taught us that boldness is not the same as rebellion. I remember you once taught that our pastors and leaders should not be angry or regard our speaking up as been disrespectful, you sighted an example of when we book appointment and the pastor mentions a time that we definitely know we wont be available due to other commitment like work, expressing this to the leader to arrange a suitable time you said it’s not offensive and this is one of many that you have taught us. You also told us how you told your children never to be afraid, to be bold and ask questions in class, it was in you training us to be bold. You taught us that perfect love cast out fear and I love you dearly. As a son in the house, you as my father will be happy if I could take initiative to improve on what you started, if I can contribute at home and if I can mediate rather than backbite.

Pastor Sir, just like Noah children in Genesis 9:21-23, Ham saw his father’s state and told others to come and see, but wise and loving sons (Shem and Japheth) took a garment and walked with their back to cover his father. I trust the bible was teaching us about been responsible children. Pastor Sir, even the little girl from Israel that was a slave in Naman’s house was driven by love and she took a very risky step to talk to her mistress about her master’s condition. Pastor I believe many knew his condition but never spoke to him until this day and that step borne out of love brought a change to Naman’s life. You also taught us about Esther who knew the risk of going to the king but out of love for God and his people she went
Pastor Sir, Proverb 27:17 says Iron sharpneth iron, so a man sharpneth the countenance of his friend. Psalm 42.7 says deep calleth unto deep. Ephesians 6:1-4, taught about father-children relationship. Ezekiel 3:17 and Ezekiel 33 talk about us been watchmen for each other and the bible also taught that we are our brothers keeper. Pastor Sir, in Exodus 18:14, Jethro was used to help Moses put plans in place and relieve him of work that he was handling all alone. Pastor Sir, king David had people he consulted about the law, 2 Samuel 24:3 Joab spoke to him not to number Israel. Pastor Sir, you and Pastor Anita have done so much. Your 2 wonderful girls have sacrificed a lot to get the ministry to this level. Pastor Sir, you all deserve joy, you deserve happiness and you were brought together by God not to separate or be unhappy.

Pastor Sir, I saw the May rhapsody of realities, the same book that you have both jointly written to reach millions and bring hope and help to many, changed. A change that neither of you is happy about. The change that I know you are not happy that it’s happening and my heart broke, I wept and I prayed but at this point I have it strongly in my heart to write to both of you, my father and my mother to please reconsider. It came to my heart that how do we read and be happy on the pain of another. Pastor Sir, just like David in 1Samuel 23:15-17, though he longed for the water of the well of Bethlehem, he knew it was only that Lord that deserve such, how will he pleasure on the lives of these three men. Same here pastor, how do we go about as if nothing is happening, how do we read, get blessed or be happy reading the ROR or even fellowshipping over the pain of both of you?

  You used example of loved one who is sick, how much do we pray for their lives to be spared. Do we just pray as we run to catch our bus to work or while having dinner, you asked how much impact that prayer can make? You talked about how the disciples didn’t do anything when john was arrested until he was beheaded and how they had to pray for peter when he was arrested. Pastor Sir, you talked about how Paul said to the people, to pray for them. And that it is important for this to happen regularly. I believe this is a time for us to be sober, call a solemn assembly and pray fervently until we see a change. Pastor my approach may not be the best but if I have another approach, I would have used it. If 

Pastor, consider your first love, your messages. You taught us that it’s the responsibility of the man to ensure that his marriage works.  I think it was around the time you taught us the message ‘how to pray’. I remember you said we have to learn to pray for ourselves and you gave the chronology of your prayer as follows; worship God, pray for yourself, your wife, your children, and your family before it gets to us. You were teaching us the importance of prayer and the best person to pray for you is you. This tells me you are a wonderful father that loves his family and love God as well. Pastor you told us about an elderly man who was your family doctor that treated you long ago and taught you the importance of resting, Pastor Sir, I believe if the man has another opportunity he will say same about family. You used it to teach us that though we say souls are perishing hence our tireless work, if we close our eyes in transition to glory the souls will still be there for others to preach to.

Pastor Sir, you have talked about how wonderful your wife is, how you went to London for a programme, ‘4 days with Pastor Chris’ and when leaving you asked if they needed money and she said no, they are fine. You talked about how other women would have seen it as opportunity to spin in money to their side from their husband. We have watched her over the years and we can say of a truth, she’s a rare gem who loves you sincerely and she’s passionate about you. She’s more eager to sell and talk about your own things than promote her own, she never shows any form of competition with you. She is an epitome of a perfect woman. Pastor Sir, you also told us how you ask one of your daughters what she wants for a birthday gift and all she asked for was a surprise visit. This tells of their yearning for you. They value your presence above gold or any earthly gift. You also talked about how your eldest daughter told you she believes in you no matter what the world says and that mean so much to you. That means you are a loving father. Pastor we saw reverend Anita at Aba Crusade minister, and we could see her spit fire borne out of love and passion for you in the face of persecution.


Pastor Sir, who else can for so many years just let go and only request once a while for your affection and attention. Pastor Sir, even those around you testify about it. No one would because of her honour for you allow all that she has allowed but because of you and because of Christ. Pastor Sir, I remember you even said in one meeting that she is an agent of change in our great ministry, she brings her ideas in simple manners but they always turn out to be great. You said this on the day you talked about how she told you the so much we put into a programme but if we put similar effort into publishing the testimony and great work God did in such programme, it will be amazing.

Pastor Sir, this is hard to say but it is happening. The men and women of God that work with you have done so well but over the years some of them have not treated her with the respect due to her. We love these men and women of God and respect them but sir, the respect they give to her is invariably them respecting you sir. You taught us long ago about brethren sometimes get carried away when they see the pastor, they take things that belong to him and leave the wife as if she doesn’t exist, and she has to now struggle to carry everything else in the car. You also taught the pastors not to allow their wives to be trodden on by members. You gave example that if the pastor is held back in church due to meetings or other things after service and they came in one car. The pastor should not just ask anyone to go and drop them off at home. He should call the a trusted person, tell him the importance of the assignment, even give the car key for him to drop them and bring the car back for you. You said this will communicate honour due to the wife to those around you. Pastor Sir, not that she told the world about her experiences with the men of God around you but those that witnessed it amongst them are the first to noise it abroad. This is one way that things that happen behind close doors get to the open. Pastor sir, as you know people talk and in the same manner even the closest to you talk about this matter when away from you in the light they won’t say when you are around sir but it takes a caring child to come to you in humility, not to report others but to show genuine concern and mediate if possible.


Pastor Sir, please listen to Pastor Anita’s cry and her deepest heart desire. Everyone, especially leaders say the same thing about her sacrifice for all these years and how they can’t leave their wife or their wife can’t leave them. How much she has done for so many years all by herself, growing ministry in a continent like Europe and extending to America as well as raising the children. It will affect the next generation who are growing up in the world where they don’t give regard to God’s kind of marriage. Where it is no longer coveted yet it was the first thing (home) God did after recreation.

 Pastor sir, I believe she appreciates everyone that have worked tirelessly to get us here but as a mother she also yearn for them living right and future happiness......(concluding sentence cut off just as post was taken down by yookos admin)

Prophet T.B Joshua delivers actress Camilla Mberekpe’s son from demons

One year after Actress Camilla Mberekpe was delivered at TB Joshua’s Synagogue Church of All Nation, her first son, Samuel Freedom, has also been delivered.

Samuel, one of the 2012 Nigeria’s Got Talent finalist was delivered from a demonic spirit he identified personally as Prince of Persia.

While being delivered, he confessed that he was the Prince of Persia, and that he was further possessed through addictive computer games and surfing of the internet for information about Illuminati.

He also claimed to have been responsible for his sister’s death.

Mother, Father Identify Daughters in Recent Boko Haram Video

The parents of two of the nearly 300 Nigerian schoolgirls recently kidnapped by Boko Haram have identified their daughters in a recent video released by the terrorist group.

According to Dumoma Mpur, the chairman of the parent-teachers association at Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, Nigeria, a mother identified her daughter as one of the girls wearing a full-length hijab and praying in the video that was released Monday.

"The video got parents apprehensive again after watching it but the various steps taken by the governments and the coming of the foreign troops is boosting our spirit, even though I have not seen any one soldier in Chibok yet," Mpur told Reuters by telephone.

Another parent from Chibok, who requested to remain anonymous, told Voice of America on Tuesday that he, too, recognized his 18-year-old daughter in the video, and possibly recognized his neighbor's daughter as well.

The video, which was shown to parents in Chibok on Monday, was recorded by members of the extreme Islamist group Boko Haram. The video shows the nearly 300 schoolgirls that were kidnapped from Chibok almost one month ago.

In the video, Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shakau requests that the Nigerian government exchange some of its prisoners for the kidnapped girls. "It is now four years or five years that you arrested our brethren and they are still in your prison. You are doing many things to them and now you are talking about these girls? We will never release them until after you release our brethren."

"I swear to almighty Allah, you will not see them again until you release our brothers that you have captured," he added.

The video shows the girls dressed in blue and gray hijabs sitting in a rural area and chanting a simple Islamic prayer. An earlier video released by Boko Haram threatened to sell the girls into human slavery, and the young women, the majority of who are Christian, were reportedly forced to convert to Islam.

According to BBC News, Nigeria's cabinet minister Tanimu Turaki said Tuesday that if Shekau was serious about his claims in the video, he should send representatives to talk with government officials to possibly work out a prisoner exchange. Turaki, who was selected by President Goodluck Jonathan to reach an agreement with Boko Haram, told BBC that "dialogue is a key option" in bringing the girls home, and that "an issue of this nature can be resolved outside of violence."

Also on Tuesday, both the U.S. and the U.K. deployed surveillance planes to fly over remote forested areas of northeastern Nigeria in hopes of finding the massive group of schoolgirls, who many believe are being hidden in the dense Sambisa forest.

Both countries have also sent intelligence officials to the African country to help in deciphering aerial surveillance footage.  China, Israel, and France are also helping to rescue the kidnapped schoolgirls.

Nigerian Christian Teen Whose Father, Brother Were Killed by Boko Haram Stands With Abducted Schoolgirls

WASHINGTON – A teenage girl whose family was murdered nearly three years ago by Boko Haram for being Christian has finally spoken about her experience.

Deborah Peters, a native of Northern Nigeria who is now 15, described the murder of her father and brother at the hands of Boko Haram at a Hudson Institute event on Tuesday afternoon.

Peters was from Chibok, the very same village that terrorists raided in April and abducted hundreds of school girls, forcing them into marriages with Boko Haram leadership.

"On December 22, 2011, 7:00 PM, me and my brother were at home. We started hearing gun shooting," said Peters, now a student in the United States.

"So my brother called my dad and told him not to come home because they are fighting and my father told him to just forget about it."

Peters described how at 7:30 PM, three individuals came to her house and demanded that her father, a pastor whose church had been destroyed earlier that year, to renounce his Christian faith.


"He told him that he would rather die than to go to hellfire," said Peters, who told those gathered that they shot her father three times in the chest.

Initially the terrorists were only going to kill her father because he was a pastor. Then they decided to kill her young brother because, they reasoned, he would grow up to become a pastor.

Peters' remarks were part of a panel hosted by the Institute titled "A Survivor's Account of Boko Haram's Religious Cleansing in Nigeria."

In addition to Peters, the other panelists were Nina Shea, Hudson Institute senior fellow and director of the Center for Religious Freedom and Emmanuel Ogebe, an international human rights lawyer and expert in bilateral U.S.-Nigerian relations.

Shea moderated the panel and asked Peters questions about her experiences. Ogebe provided an update on the situation in Northern Nigeria, noting Boko Haram's increased attacks on women and girls.

In recent years, Islamic terrorist organizations, especially Boko Haram, have been attacking Christian communities in Northern Nigeria. These attacks on churches and towns have resulted in hundreds of deaths and have made Boko Haram one of the most violent religious extremist groups in the world.

Peters is not the first survivor of Boko Haram violence featured by the Hudson Institute. Last November the Institute featured Adamu Habila, who was the sole male in his Christian village to survive a Boko Haram attack.

In comments made to The Christian Post during question-and-answer time, Ogebe explained that the persecution of the Christian communities in the northern part of the West African country had been going on for decades.

"Persecution in Northern Nigeria has been the 'new normal' for decades," said Ogebe, adding that many acts of abduction or violence have been directed at Nigerian Christians in the past.

"What is happening now is this is persecution on steroids. Northern Nigerian Christians are used to being killed a couple of times a year … but for terrorists to come out and abduct 300 kids, this is where Northern Nigerian Christians are saying 'okay, we didn't sign up for this.'"

Last month, Boko Haram raided the Government Girls Secondary School in the town of Chibok, abducting an estimated 300 school girls. Unlike past attacks on civilians and churches, the incident sparked global outrage.

The U.S. Department of State promised assistance to the Nigerian government to find them and a social campaign using the phrase #BringBackOurGirls gathered international support calling for the school girls' freedom.

What TD Jakes Hates Most About Megachurch Culture

Megachurches have plenty of critics—including the pastor of one of the most popular megachurches in America.

Indeed, Bishop T.D. Jakes, senior pastor of the Potter’s House in Dallas, says he has one issue with megachurch culture. Oddly enough, it has to do with how pastors fit into the mix.

"There are pastors whose ego demands that type of adulation. ... It's the part of ministry that I hate," said Jakes while promoting his book Instinct. "I hate it because from the inside out I see myself as quite normal. The pressure to live up to all of your expectations frustrates me."

That’s right, he doesn’t like how pastors are exalted as demigods—or pastors who demand to be exalted like some idol.

"I'm the same guy that pastored 50 people on Easter Sunday," he said. "I didn't turn into some kind of creature when they became 5,000."

A Brand New Way Of Ministering: Attractive Fashion Line For Stylish Ministers

A London-trained fashion designer has launched a new range of clerical wear for women in the Church of England.

Camelle Daley, who founded the label House of ilona, says it’s high time for a shake-up among Anglican clergy who, like Roman Catholic priests, still wear traditional black shirt and collar.

Daley said she got the idea when a recently ordained friend said she wanted a new look for a new age.

Daley’s collection, now selling briskly, includes peplum dresses and tops, classic black dresses and a fitted green blouse with chiffon detail.

She has received hundreds of orders from women, who now make up one-third of the clergy in this country’s established church.

“Today, more than ever, women in ministry are complaining about the boxy, shapeless shirts on offer,” she said. “Why should a woman’s style go from stylish and elegant to manly and boxy when she is dressed in her clerical attire for ministering?”

The launch of her clerical clothes coincides with the 20th anniversary of the ordination of women as priests in the Church of England.

Within a year or so it’s likely that women will be consecrated as bishops.

“The style is not about flaunting the body,” added Daley. “It is about clothes that accommodate the female shape in cut and fit.”

For Daley, the latest line is a labor of love.

“I love designing,” she said. “This is my way of giving back to the women in ministry who have affected my life so greatly.”

The result? Quite wonderful.

Vesak 2014: Celebrating The Buddha's Birthday

What do you get for the man who has attained perfect enlightenment? That depends on where in the world you are celebrating.

Buddha's birthday, known as Vesak Day (or Wesak), is celebrated on various dates in the spring throughout the world, and each Buddhist culture has its own traditions for the day. It is usually observed during the first full moon in May. In 2014, it's celebrated on Tuesday, May 13.

Buddhists celebrate the Buddha's three most important life stages on Vesak: Birth, Enlightenment and Death, which traditionally are said to all have happened on the same day of the calendar throughout his life. The birth story is important because the Buddha was born in Lumbini, Nepal, while his mother stood holding onto a tree. Once born he is said to have taken seven steps forward after which a lotus flower arose from each footstep. He then declared that this was his last rebirth and that he would become an enlightened individual.

In South Korea, followers light lotus lanterns that cover the temples in remembrance of these lotus footsteps. In Sri Lanka, where colorful lanterns are also used, elaborate electric light displays depict different stories from the Buddha's life. In Indonesia, Buddhists light and release lanterns into the air while visiting the Borobudur temple. In Taiwan, followers pour fragrant water over Buddha statues to symbolizing a fresh start in life. In Singapore, devotees set caged birds free on the Buddha's birthday.

What can you say? Truth or falsehood?

"We Built a School in Boko Haram’s Heartland"

When Gerald and Lois Neher arrived in tiny Chibok, Nigeria, girls didn’t go to school. The couple’s work helped the first girls attend—50 years before terrorists abducted 270.
The very opposite of terrorists arrived in Chibok more than a half-century before the world came to know this remote Nigerian village as the place where maniacal members of Boko Haram kidnapped more than 270 girls and burned down their school.
 Gerald A. Neher
While the terrorist group struck in recent days intending only evil, Gerald and Lois Neher of Kansas came to Chibok in 1954 with the purpose of doing as much good as they were able. They helped make it possible for girls to attend school there in the first place.
Only boys attended the village’s tony school when the Nehers first arrived.
“Girls didn’t go to school back at that time,” Lois says. “They don’t like to send the girls off to school. They want them to help carry in wood and bring in water.”
The Nehers helped expand the school with sun-baked mud bricks and grass roofing. The structure’s very size became an invitation for more children, and the first girls began to attend.
“That was the beginning for them,” Lois says. “The girls went to school more and more.”
Lois served as a teacher, which placed her below only a chief in the social hierarchy. She used a patch of painted concrete as a blackboard, the students doing their work as best they could without the most basic school supplies.
“We didn’t have much paper or anything like that,” Lois says. “You make do with what you have. If you don’t have paper, you use dirt. They learned to write in the dirt or in the sand with a stick.”
Back in America, keeping a youngster after class was considered punishment. Here it was a reward.
 Gerald A. Neher
“They would thank you over and over because they were so anxious to learn,” Lois says. “Any way to get education is what they wanted.”
Gerald served as a teacher of another kind, instructing the farmers in the use of a plow and oxen where they had previously employed only short-handled hoes. A farmer who was previously able to plant and harvest 2 acres of peanuts or guinea corn or cotton was now able to do 20.
“I think it did change things for them,” Gerald says.
As a result of these good works, Chibok gained local prominence.
“Because of the development of the school and agriculture and everything, Chibok became known as an outstanding village in the area,” Gerald says.
The Nehers had come to Nigeria to participate in the Church of the Brethren’s humanitarian program. The people running the program asked if they would go to Chibok.
“We didn’t know that nobody else would go there because it was the most remote place,” Lois recalls. “So we said, ‘Yeah, we’ll go anywhere.’”
Gerald adds, “We just went there by default.”
“When we were there, we had many friends who were Muslims,” Lois says. “It didn’t make any difference.”
They were in their 20s when they arrived with their 8-month-old son. They discovered that Chibok had grown by some rock outcroppings at the edge of a broad savannah. A swampy area was nearby, and the village had gotten its name from the sound your feet make when you pull them out of the mud there.
“Chibok…chibok…chibok,” Gerald says.
Also nearby were the rugged Mandara Mountains, which are honeycombed with caves and extend into neighboring Cameroon, facilitating both hiding and escape. The mountains are one reason Chibok was the very last place in Nigeria to submit to British rule, a fact the Nehers found was a source of considerable local pride.
One king, or chief, once resided in the mountains and had a rock throne that his subjects were allowed to approach only by sitting down facing away from it and scooting in backward so they never looked at him. This king chose to disappear in the mountains permanently rather than cede to a colonial power.
“If a king cannot be a king like a king should be a king, there should be no king at all,” he declared, according to the Nehers’ fine book, Life Among the Chibok of Nigeria.
Those are the same mountains where Boko Haram is believed to have taken the kidnapped girls. The terrorists are described as Islamic extremists, but they hardly seem of the same faith as the handful of Muslims who were in Chibok during the four and a half years the Nehers were there.
Those Muslims were malams, or teachers, and sometimes would write phrases in Arabic that people would wrap in leather and wear as charms, perhaps for prosperity or to ward off harm. The Chibok people had no written language of their own.
The malams did not seek payment for their charms. These Muslims would cite an adage, “If someone gives you free medicine, it will be good, but if they want to sell it to you, it will not be good.”
At the time, the village also included a number of Christians, though most the villagers were animists, recognizing a single God they called Hyel yet believing all living things, including plants, possess individual spirits. People of every faith lived in harmony.
“When we were there, we had many friends who were Muslims,” Lois says. “It didn’t make any difference.”
Since the Nehers departed, the school got a corrugated iron roof and there is now a real road into the town. But however much life there has changed, some of the cultural dynamics the Nehers observed almost certainly persist and may well assist the kidnapped girls through their ordeal. There are particularly close bonds among peer groups in Chibok, and people of the same sex often hold hands as they walk through the village.
Girls further bond by playing a particular game that begins with one of them standing in the center of a group that claps and sings. The girl pitches herself backward and trusts the others to catch her before she hits the ground. Another girl then takes a turn, then another.
And children are trained to be brave. Adults sometimes spring from hiding to surprise them and then ask how they will react if they suddenly face danger in the bush.
Boko Haram presents a more diabolical danger than anybody could have imagined a half-century ago. The terrorists are possessed not by anything resembling true Islam but by what the people of Chibok would call “muta ndin nda,” an evil spirit.
Word of the atrocities committed by Boko Haram has reached the Nehers at their present home in Kansas.
“We’ve been hearing about all the strife and the horrible things,” Lois says.
Lois is now 85. Gerald is 83. They have not been in recent communication with anybody in the village where they landed by default 60 years ago.
“The people in Chibok are the grandchildren or great-grandchildren of the ones we knew,” Gerald says.
The village that had achieved local prominence more than five decades before with the help of the Nehers’ good works now became known to everyone as the result of Boko Haram’s evil.
The couple who had seen the first girls attend the village school now joined the whole world in hoping for the safe return of more than 200 kidnapped schoolgirls, who had been taken into those mountains that offer so many opportunities for hiding and escape.
“It was just an out-of-the-way village when we were there,” Gerald says.
And the Nehers know that finding the girls is likely to get hellishly more difficult this month, with the expected arrival of the rainy season. The area can get as much as 40 inches of rain and can become extremely difficult just to travel through, much less to search.
“It lasts six months,” Gerald notes.

Abducted Girls’ Conversion To lslam, Religious War – Oritsejafor

The National President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, said on Monday that the purported conversion of the abducted schoolgirls of Government Secondary School, Chibok, in Born State by members of Boko Haram was a declaration of war against Christians in the country.
The CAN leader, who was reacting to a new video by the Boko Haram, showing the Chibok schoolgirls reciting the Holy Qur’an on Monday, noted that those girls could not be exchanged for the release of any detained Boko Haram members, who he described as ‘criminal’ in detention, as demanded by the sect.
Oritsejafor, who spoke through the CAN’s National Director of Research, Elder Sunday Oibe, at a press conference in Kaduna, added that the forceful conversion of the girls, who are mostly Christians, amounted to persecution of Christians in Nigeria.
He said, “I have the consent of our national president, who is abroad to address you. First, these children are Christians and not Muslims and so they cannot be converted to a religion that is not theirs at gunpoint without conviction. Besides, is that how conversion is being carried out? All the children displayed are Christians and that is the motive behind the abduction.”
“It is simple. Because they are Christians and they represent the church in the eyes of their abductors. Secondly, it smacks of some form of religious persecution. If not, why are their captors converting them to another religion? And if they say they will use them as a condition to negotiate for their men in detention, our daughters are not criminals and cannot be used in any way to free their criminal fighters.”
“Show us where in Nigeria you have seen Christians fighting and throwing bombs in the name of God. We challenge any one to show us where Christians have abducted Muslim children in the name of Christianity. We challenge anyone to prove in Nigeria where Christians have taken arms in the name of protecting Christianity or even carry out acts of genocide on helpless and defenceless Nigerians. As far we are concern, it is a war against Christians and Christianity.”

Another Boko Haram member intercepted in T.B. Joshua’s church

Another member of the dreaded Boko Haram sect, on Sunday confessed at Prophet T.B. Joshua’s Church of All Nation, confessing that he was being paid N2,000,000 to bomb churches.
TB Joshua

According to Ihechukwu Njoku, a freelance Nigerian Journalist, the Boko Haram member confessed when Joshua’s Wise Men were ministering deliverance to people.

“I am one of the Boko Haram,” the man declared to the wise man, clearly under an unusual influence. ” They said they would give me N2,000,000 if I went to blow up a church,” the man continued upon questioning as to how he joined the infamous group of insurgents. Every church would be N2,000,000. They said it would be given to me, big house and a wife. I have been hearing of T.B. Joshua, that is why I came here.”

The wise man then prayed for the man who fell before being declared free from the evil spirit.

Several minutes later, T.B. Joshua himself returned to the service and told the congregation:

“I was in the prayer room when I heard the deliverance going on and listened to the confession of this guy. What he was confessing is mind-boggling”

Bringing the man back before the congregation, Joshua questioned him further as to how he was initiated into the sect. The man began “My name is Hosea Bulus, They gave me blood; they gave me charms. I took it inside food.”
According to Bulus, upon taking the diabolic blood, the urge to kill and destroy entered him. Joshua emphasised to the congregation that the battle was more spiritual than physical.

“One thing you must know is that we are fighting evil spirits that steal, kill and destroy. Let us not fight our neighbours.”

Boko Haram has been the focus of huge international media attention following their claim that they are responsible for the kidnapping of over 200 girls several weeks ago.

Queried as to why he came to the church,he insisted the problem was not a Muslim-Christian issue. “They are using that name as a camouflage, as a cover up.” He added that no one could bring himself to killing innocent lives without being under the influence of an evil spirit.

Joshua then prayed for the man, who fell to his knees and immediately complained that he wanted to visit the toilet.

The cleric concluded by stating that he would not ask any further questions publicly so as not to undermine the intelligence Hosea would be able to provide to the relevant authorities.

50 Things the Holy Spirit Does in Your Life

Editor's Note: The following article comes from Frank Viola's new book, Jesus Now: Unveiling the Present-Day Ministry of Christ.

1.      The Spirit convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8).

2.      The Spirit guides us into all truth (John 16:13).

3.      The Spirit regenerates us (John 3:5-8; Titus 3:5).

4.      The Spirit glorifies and testifies of Christ (John 15:26; 16:14).

5.      The Spirit reveals Christ to us and in us (John 16:14-15).

6.      The Spirit leads us (Rom. 8:14; Gal. 5:18; Matt. 4:1; Luke 4:1).

7.      The Spirit sanctifies us (2 Thess. 2:13; 1 Pet. 1:2; Rom. 5:16).

8.      The Spirit empowers us (Luke 4:14; 24:49; Rom. 15:19; Acts 1:8).

9.      The Spirit fills us (Eph. 5:18; Acts 2:4; 4:8, 31; 9:17).

10.    The Spirit teaches us to pray (Rom. 8:26-27; Jude 1:20).

42.    The Spirit teaches us (1 Cor. 2:13; John 14:26).

43.    The Spirit gives us joy (1 Thess. 1:6).

44.    The Spirit enables some to preach the gospel (1 Pet. 1:12).

45.    The Spirit moves us (2 Pet. 1:21).

46.    The Spirit knows the things of God (1 Cor. 2:11).

47.    The Spirit casts out demons (Matt. 12:28).

48.    The Spirit brings things to our remembrance (John 14:26).

49.    The Spirit comforts us (Acts 9:31).

“Very Soon, Boko Haram Will Commence Attacks On Bigshots In Nigeria” – T.B Joshua Reveals

Prophet TB Joshua while preaching yesterday, 4th of May, 2014 in his church said Boko Haram will start attacking bigshots in our society.

Expressing his shock that political parties such as APC and PDP are against themselves instead of coming together as one to fight Boko Haram in Nigeria, he says it’s quite risky because the group would soon turn back to start attacking them. It will be recalled that, Prophet TB Joshua has not stopped giving different prophesies every Sunday on the altar while he preaches, ever since the over 200 school girls disappeared into thin air.

“Nigeria is calm; it is the political parties that are not calm.

These political parties gave birth to militants and Boko Haram.”

“If our political class does not stop their campaigns and rallies and put aside the name of parties – APC, PDP, Labour to come together to discuss as Nigeria, these people will turn against them.

Any moment from now, you will hear of ‘bigshots’ being

attacked.” “They should suspend all rallies and acrimonious

campaigns.

It is this division that gave opportunity for hoodlums, militants and Boko Haram to explore and exploit,” he stated.

Eating In A Dream! - Who Is Right? Chris Oyakhilome Or T.B. Joshua?

I watched two separate videos about eating in a dream. One from Pastor Chris and another by T.B. Joshua.

Pastor Chris said in his video, “If you find food in your dream eat it.” He asked “What’s wrong with eating in your dream? It is a dream anyhow. Do you really think satan is so good he'll give you food to eat in your dream? He said that the only ones that ever gave food to eat in the Bible from Genesis to Revelations is angels. There is no occasion that a demon ever gave anybody food, so where did they get it from?”

In T.B. Joshua’s video titled “How do you know if you are Possessed” he said, “Eating in a dream, whom are you eating with? Where you hungry before you slept? It’s not normal! Even sometimes after eating and you wake up you still feel that food. Sometimes after eating in a dream and you wake up you will feel you stomach is full whereas that day you may have not ate for some hours. That should show you that it’s real."

Pastor Chris later said in his video, “I know that there are some out there in the deliverance ministry that would see this and say, ‘Pastor Chris he don’t know nothing about demons.’ come on here I’ve been casting out demons for many years. I know what I’m talk’n about."

I don’t know who to believe. All I can say is that I have seen plenty of videos online of T.B. Joshua casting out demons, but I wasn’t able to find any of Pastor Chris doing the same. 

What are your thoughts?

Saints of God, this scientist who has passed on now, recorded actual screams from hell. Some years ago, we actually heard of a group of scientists digging toward the bottom of the earth and heard actual voices screaming, no doubt in very hot lava.  Now, many of you may doubt this story, but it's very real.

REVEALED: How Pastor Adeboye, Bishop Oyedepo, Chris Oyakhilome, TB Joshua Plan To Destroy Boko Haram

If the Christian community is not divided by doctrine and the we-are-better-than-you attitude, if Christendom has love Boko Haram cannot keep destroying lives especially the life of Christians as easy as a walk in the park. This heartless group of Monsters started by bombing churches while people were worshipping their God then moved on to other locations, now they are back to dealing with Christians as the released Chibok abducted girls’ list shows that 90% of the girls are Christians.It is heart breaking to see this evil group continuously mess with the church, the body of Christ, the anointed of God! It is more annoying when one remembers that this is a country blessed with over 10 world class heavy weight spiritual champions like Papa Adeboye, Bishop Oyedepo, T.B Joshua, Chris Oyakhilome, who can just speak and this group will go into extinction!By a prophet God saved Israel and by a Prophet he preserved them. Where are the Prophets in Nigeria? We need our Prophets to arise and preserve this nation. We need our Prophets to speak the word of God over Nigeria.

SOLUTION: 
The solution here is, these men of God should call for a non-denominational just one night Virgil under one roof to pray for Nigeria. Imagine a Virgil with E.A Adeboye, Chris Oyakhilome, Bishop Oyedepo, T.B Joshua, Tunde Bakare, the Catholic Church, all the men of God in Nigeria gathered under one roof with their members to call upon God to step into the Nigerian situation? It will shake this nation. It will shatter all the chains holding the progress and unity of Nigeria.

CHALLENGES:
The challenge here is the question the Bible asked, “Can two work together except they agree?” this is the one billion naira question. How can these Spiritual War Lords throw their differences behind and do the needful? How can other Pastors who are CAN members agree to work with the likes of T.B Joshua and Chris Oyakhilome who are not? Who will make the first move? Who will take it upon himself to unite the Nigerian part of the body of Christ? Can the President of CAN, Pastor Oritsejafor do what the challenge of today demands?Who is asking God for the solutions of the Nigerian problems? There is a reason why this happening mostly to the Christian community, it is time for the Lions to roar!PLEASE COULD THE REAL LIONS STAND UP AND ROAR, BOKO HARAM IS KILLING GOD’S CHILDREN!

TB Joshua Delivers Notorious Drug Baron

National Liberian newspaper, ‘The New Republic’ has recounted an uncanny story of how one of Liberia’s most notorious drug lords by the name of Emmanuel Fahnbulleh gave up his criminal activities after praying with Nigeria’s Prophet T.B. Joshua on his highly popular television station, Emmanuel TV.

Ironically, it was a Nigerian who introduced him to the shady business 18 years ago, just as it was a Nigerian who was used by God to rescue him. Here is the full report:

In a rather unruffled and undisturbed state of mind, Emmanuel Fahnbulleh divulged his long-running obsession with being one of Liberia’s most dangerous and feared drug dealers, distributors and users.

Fahnbulleh, who said he is now converted, has been in the field of selling drugs of all sorts to Liberians for eighteen years before God arrested and transformed him. His case is similar to that of Saul who was arrested on the road to Damascus and transformed to an abiding believer of the Lord.

Yesterday, Fahnbulleh told Power TV’s phone-in talk show how bad he was during his drug-dealing spree, bragging that he was matchless in his field.

But as conscience is said to be a judge of every man, so the converted drug dealer realised his errors and offered a heartfelt apology to the nation and those who might have been affected in one way or the other by his drug dealing activities…

“I want to first of all in this public manner apologize to the nation, my brothers and sisters out there who my drug deals might have affected in any way, to go against one another in the homes. I have been one of the major, major, major contributors of that problem,” he said in a very unassuming manner.

Fahnbulleh, who provided historical background about how he got baptised into drug dealing, said it was a Nigerian national who wooed and changed him into one of Liberia’s most feared dealers.

“It all started in 1996, just before the April 6 crisis, when I came across my own satan. This Nigerian fellow I met that day was my own of encounter with the devil, because he was like my devil,” he said, while at the same time distancing himself from having any physical contact or interaction with the devil.

He said he called the Nigerian ‘devil’ because his intervention in his life thwarted his academic brightness as an upcoming student in the community. “When this guy came in the community, he came across me and called me to come. He said to me, ‘You are a smart kid; you can push this thing’. He gave me the first 10 kilograms of cocaine. At that time, my brother, you could not sell 5 grams of cocaine in Liberia a day because it was not easy,” Fahnbulleh divulged.

In spite of the roughness and hardness of the market at the time for reasons he did not say, he noted that he was able to distribute at least 60 grams of cocaine every day.

Through the grace of God, the self-proclaimed drug pusher explained he is now a Christian and worshipping with the Trinity Healing Temple of Jesus Christ, which is led by Mother Esther B. Davies.

Fahnbulleh, who also explained how his conversion came about, said, “It was around the month of April, about the 23rd, 24th this year when one of my friends came by and said to me, ‘Emma, why can’t you watch this TV station of Pastor T.B. Joshua (Emmanuel TV)? You might get something from there.”

In a rather rushed fashion, he said he tuned to the TV station and the first thing he saw was the man of God praying for viewers. He heard T.B. Joshua say, “I command whatever that is in you that is not of God to come out right now!”

At that moment, Fahnbulleh said his entire life dramatically changed. “I could not do anything; I did not know what I was doing at that moment.”

Right away, he explained further, he was touched to give back all the illegal drugs in his possession, including a huge pack of cocaine worth US$1,500. “I called everybody to come for their things; I told them I did not want money from them again because I did not want to have anything to do with drugs,” he said.

Fahnbulleh has now joined the campaign to make Liberia a drug-free nation, in consonance with the drug law of the Republic of Liberia.
