IS NIGERIA GOING THE WAY OF
TURKEY?
•Turkey is in the present day Europe
and
partly in Asia minor.
•Apostle Paul was a citizen of Tukey
because Tarsus exists in Turkey.
•Christianity existed in Turkey for
about 1,023 years while Christianity
has only
existed in Nigeria for 172yrs starting
from when Rev. Birch Freeman came
to
Badagry in 1842.
•The seven churches Jesus spoke to
in
Revelations 2&3 (Ephesus,Smyrna
,Laodicea,Philadelphia,etc) existed in
the old Turkey.
•The disciples were first called
Christians
in Turkey(Antioch)
•Turkey once had the largest
Christian
auditorium in Europe called Hagia
Sophia in Constantinople.
•Mary the mother of Jesus was taken
to
Turkey by Apostle John and till date,
her
room has become a tourist centre.
TURKEY TODAY
•Present day Turkey now has 96%
muslims&0.02% Christians(less than
130,000).
•The Hagia Sophia(once largest
church
in Europe) was taken over by muslims
and converted to a mosque for over
400yrs and later used as an Islamic
Museum
WHY CHRISTIANITY COLLAPSED
IN TURKEY
•Emphasis on doctrinal differences
weakened the Turkish church.
•Rivalries amongst denominations
•Petty politics in church coupled with
ethnic bias
•The Turks were building #big_
cathedrals
instead of building men.
HOW IT HAPPENED
•Osman Ghazi discovered the disunity
amongst Christians and used it to
fight a
Jihad that led to a mass genocide of
the
Armenians, the Hellen and Turks of
that
day. Infact, the weapon of war used
was
designed by a Turkish Christian.
•Many Christian women converted to
Islam to save their lives and some
were
raped.
•Osman Ghazi started the Ottoman
empire which gave muslims #political_
post and made it a religion of the
state.
IS NIGERIA HEADING THE WAY
OF TURKEY
•Virtually all the mistakes the church
in
Turkey made, the Nigerian church has
made it.
•We are building Cathedrals at the
expense of discipling men.
•Disunity amongst churches
•Ethnicity in the church
•Denominational rivalry, etc.
•Sharp division along doctrinal lines
MORE FACTS
•The spiritual foundation of Turkey is
stronger than that of Nigeria and
Christianity existed for over 1000yrs
in
Turkey unlike ours which is just
172yrs
but Islam Radicalism uprooted it. If it
can happen in Turkey, it can also
happen IF we are not careful.
•The menace of Boko Haram has
destroyed a lot of churches in the
north and it may take another 200yrs
to evangelise Borno state alone.
•There is a secret agenda to Islamize
Nigeria & other African nations as
contained in Abuja declaration of
1989.
DON'T SAY IT CAN'T HAPPEN
HERE, IF WE DON'T RIGHT OUR
WRONGS AS A CHURCH.
SOLUTION
•HEART-FELT Intercession
•Aggressive evangelism- the terrorist
reached out to the youths in the
norths first and gave them AK-47 and
bombs, if
we had reached out to them on time,
they'll be carrying BIBLES today.
•Mission support:-God is holding the
church responsible for Boko Haram,
yet we are blaming the
governement.If we had supported
missions and missionaries, we would
have those insurgents to Christ long
ago.
•Unity of the church is key in winning
this battle. The last but not the least
christians should be actively involve in
politics. Enough of these muslims
political office holder with islamic
agenda
ARISE CHURCH & LETS DO THE
NEEDFUL
Pls, send to christians on your friends
list.

We sure are! I am glad Pastor Bosun Emmanuel's message is now being circulated. Christians in Nigeria must stand their ground if we are to see Nigeria become God's abode.
