From Geoffrey Anyanwu, Awka
It was jubilation galore at the headquarters of the Assemblies of God Church in Enugu yesterday as members of the church expressed joy over the Supreme Court’s refusal to grant an injunction seeking to stop Rev. Prof. Paul Emeka from parading himself as the General Superintendent (GS) of the church.
The church had been engulfed in a protracted leadership crisis that led to it splitting into two factions with the GS, Prof. Emeka leading one faction and his former Assistant, Rev. Dr. Chidi Okoroafor, leading the other.
Okoroafor-led faction had in their bid to stop Emeka, whom it purportedly suspended had approached the court to stop him from parading himself as the GS of the church, a matter that went through High Court in Enugu to the Supreme Court, and both parties hung their fate to the determination of a motion.
Victory came the way of Emeka’s faction as the Supreme Court on Tuesday allegedly refused to grant a motion by the Okoroafor-led faction, which sought an injunction restraining Emeka from parading himself as the General Superintendent.
Addressing the jubilant members and newsmen on the latest development, Prof. Emeka, flanked by other leaders of the church, described the ruling of the apex court as “victory of truth over falsehood.”
He commended the court for standing on the side of truth, noting that his traducers had boasted that as soon as they get the injunction, they would come and eject him, adding that God has exposed their lies.
He said, “If they had succeeded, violent as they are, they would have come here to cause trouble. But the good thing is that the injunction they were seeking was not given to them; it was not even entertained. I am happy because they lied and their lies have failed, to the glory of God.”
On efforts at bringing peace to the church, the GS said, “We are so much interested in peace and we have demonstrated it several times. We have been to the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, when they made their decision known, we accepted it; the other party refused. We went to CAN, they gave directive, and we accepted it for peace to reign, the other side refused.
“All they do is to be writing petition here and there, once you tell them the truth, they will start writing petition against you. They have written petitions against Enugu High Court Judge, Commissioner of Police and the Inspector General of Police.
“I thank God over the decision of the court. We shall continue to hold on to this mandate to His own glory. It is not good to give up easily. If you have a mandate from God and you have not received a contrary message from Him, don’t give up such mandate no matter the situation, no matter the sentiments people will throw up.”

There is politics in the Church, God help us

Local assemblies called 'churches' causg shame n embrasm 2 d universal n true church d body of d redeemed.

Ok

It is a shame that church mater is now in politics section.

Church politics being solved by a Judge and not GOD. Chai

You people are a BIG disgusting disgrace to your god, if u that profess to know god dance naked in the market place... Then me as an atheist watching the show of shame, wants nothing to do with your god, infact u empty lots just prove u are more worst atheist than me.

Shame. Shame. Shame.

There is even a portion in your book that prohibit taking yourselves to court. I am very sure those judges are not Christian.

Even in my village, u dare not take your blood relation to court, i guess my traditionalist brothers believe in god more than u.

Shame. Shame. Shame.

Keep creating monsters that will attack Christianity ...

I hate religion.

Wetin concyn church mata and supreme Court? I wonder, all these biznes centers sef.

I don't know what's d matter,pls let them resolve it amicably because one of them Rev.Dr. Chidi Okoroafor is an evangelist of more than 30 yrs and his message really touched me and made me closer to God,that anywhere I go,I keep on looking for any of his messages and buy d tape.I have almost al his preachings and it is something if after listening to his message and you did not repent,it may be difficult for u to repent in any other place.I have not seen him in person,but you need to enter any christian stores and ask any cassette from Rev.Dr. Chidi Okoroafor.Pls let him and Emeka resolve this,for I know its temptation.I don't know what's d matter is all about.Peace and brotherliness is all I want to hear among them.

What u get from business empires in the name of Jesus. But what can I say, if they are not against us then they are with us

If God fails to judge this world, He will apologize to sodom & Gomorrah.--Rev Chidi Okoroafor.

Please is Assemblies of God a new fraternity

It baffles me that they still ve followers, pls what do these leaders preach

What's the bizniz?

Truth will always prevail at the right time

Church matter now settled in court. What Henry VIII started is still following them.

k

Church Uwa Mmmebi..

This shows they re after wealth nd. Position and not salvation of their congregation..

The Church followers re so blind to use their brain in discerning how fake their leaders are...

When the World settles the dispute in the church rather than the reverse, it becomes a great shame. In Chidi Okoroafors message titled INJURY TIME I rest my case #toobad

Shame shame shame
Jubilation on what
