The only reason I see the Nigerian church failing is hypocrisy. Yes, our religious leaders are hypocrites, their followers are even worse than them. Their actions are disgusting to God and man. Who will listen to a pastor who sleeps with the choir leader, milks his people dry, preaches only for material and financial gain, selfish, quick to tear his members down, lord it over the people under him, does not practice what he preaches ? How do you respect and consider the Christian life Holly and worthy of emulation when you look around you and see the shame and disgraceful lives they live day to day?
These are what will make people dump Christianity in future even if Moslems do not overtake it.

pipe dream....nothing like that can happen in nigeria....we still have igbos that hate Islam than satan due to their catholic beliefs

Turkey is in the present day Europe and partly in Asia.
•Apostle Paul was a citizen of Turkey because Tarsus exists in Turkey.
•Christianity existed in Turkey for about 1,023 years while Christianity has only existed in Nigeria and Ghana 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, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea,) 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 biases.
•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. In fact, 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 and killed.
•Osman Ghazi started the Ottoman empire which gave muslims political post and made it a religion of the state.

IS NIGERIA/GHANA HEADING THE WAY OF TURKEY

•Virtually all the mistakes the church in Turkey made, the Nigerian/Ghanaian church have 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/ Ghana 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 Northern Nigeria and it may take another 200yrs to evangelize Borno State alone.
•There is a secret agenda to Islamize Nigeria and 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 government. 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 adgenda.

ARISE CHURCH & LETS DO THE NEEDFUL!!!

skeendyke:
The situation of bokoharam and fulani herdsmen attack has created a fertile ground for the massacre of people of other faiths in which Christians make up a large number so yes Op is on point.

However, Op may have forgotten that the earth belongs to the Christians, not the Muslims, that it is the unchangeable decree of God the Almighty.

Yes, He permits the world to spill the blood of His children. He permits the death of His children through cold-blooded murder by religious extremists. In the end, Christ will return with His saints to rule the earth and usher the dawn of the new age which is endless where He rules and reigns with His children.

The script of world events has already been written even before the foundation of this world. Therefore, no matter what happens Christians come out on top in the end.

annunaki2:
Turkey is a muslim country today because they were over ran by evil satanic jihadists and forced to convert at the pain of death and not because the church there was weak. That scenario can never happen in Nigeria cause they will be crushed. In truth islam is in decline today in Nigeria with several muslims renouncing islam on a daily basis and accepting christ.

Churches belong to Christ, if he want us to continue to serve him he will surely protect the church.

Harvesthomes:
The disunity is startling.it's evident the writer though make make some errors here and there but even if i were a pastor today i would kick against the teaching of demons as a full time subject in many churches,beyond the theology of die die die die by fire i see Christians of a congregation not being built in Christ but rather armed with the knowledge of withcraft way above that of the Revelation of Christ and by the way this administration is doing some underground works to islamize the country it will come to the surface at the right time..i have my own first hand information..Iv been having visions see thesedudes go for continous strenous meetings and plottings..i wont say who i am in this post and i dont expect to be attacked either.im neither for PDP nor APC and haven't voted either into power in the past 16years so take my message and dont attack me.Thanks
