Rev. Daniel Mbaya of Ekklisiyar Yan’uwa ‘A’ Church of The Brethren in Nigeria, Utako, Abuja on Sunday said that 50 of their churches had been burnt and 109 members killed in the Northern part of the country by the Islamist sect, Boko Haram.

Mbaya made this known yesterday in his sermon
during the last Sunday of the year service of the
church, which was attended by President Goodluck
Ebele Jonathan and other prominent Nigerians.
Speaking on the topic, “Working with
God,” the preacher while reading from the book of
Genesis 5: 22-24 called on the need for Nigerians
especially its leaders to work with God in truth and righteousness

just like Enoch; the father of Methuselah.
He said, “Our church which, is predominantly in the
North-East is worst hit by the Boko Haram insurgence.

About 50 of our churches have been burnt and 109 of our members killed in the North by Boko Haram.” The cleric said Jonathan’s visit to the church would
restore the lost confidence of its members nationwide, noting that his visit shows that Nigeria was “blessed with a caring, loving and concerned
leader”,
In his speech, Jonathan assured that the Boko Haram sect would not succeed in 2013, noting that the strategic security plans put in place were already yielding positive results.


“Boko Haram will not push us backwards. If their plan
is to stop government from providing dividends of
democracy, they would not succeed, because 2013
will be a good year for Nigerians and Nigeria.”
Jonathan revealed that the sect had the intention of
attacking churches on Christmas day, but the plans
were truncated by the security agencies.
His words, “The Boko Haram planned to carry out a lot
of attacks on Christmas day, but we suppressed their
plans during the Christmas, because the extent of
their plans was not executed as a result of the
strategies by the security agencies.
While commending members of the church for
maintaining peace and order, in spite of Boko Haram’s
attacks on their branches, the president promised
that 2013 would be a good year for Nigerians.

The Church is the Light of world, the salt of earth.

Thank you Pastor. Keep the light burning.

True Faith is mightier than the sword of Islam.

Its only painful that the modern day followers keep living in denial.

Mohamed carried out his spread of religion through the sword, were he to be alive today, the likes of Osama would have been saints.

Now, where are the Islamic e-sowrds of Niaraland? I know that my e-head is at risk!!!!

You cannot fight a swordsman with a quill. You cannot attain PEACE without WAR.. Prophet Mohammed knew this, Jesus did.. things are right the way they are. If you keep sitting down while your children and mothers are murdered in cold blood with all your leaders supporting or simply folding their arms and writing prose and poetry in newspapers and nairaland. you will become extinct and nobody gives a damn how many churches and children/women are killed. look around you. it is budget spending season, who gives a damn..
