Christians Only: How Boko Haram Is A Blessing by nonny001(m): 4:05pm On Oct 17, 2015
Please ignore that headline. I just needed your attention.

Boko Haram can NEVER be a blessing. It’s a curse: a big problem. But in every problem, there is an opportunity.

For Christianity, it is an opportunity to fulfill their ultimate mandate, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” – Matthew 28: 19 (KJV).

That is what this article is about: a Christian wake-up call.

“Islam is a religion of peace,” but it has WAR as its tool of conversion… and they’re so passionate about it. They’re even ready to die spreading it. WHAT ARE CHRISTIANS DOING?

Christians convert by preaching, teaching and explaining. That’s how we (Africans) got Christianity.

And the white missionaries – those who brought Christianity to us – they were passionate… so passionate that they were ready to die for it… remember Mary Slecor?

And with their coming came other good things: conscience, death of suppressive culture and tradition, respect for human dignity and life and much more.

The north needs Christianity too.

The only problem is; the white missionaries’ passion is dying in us… if not dead already.

In fact, we don’t need to take the same risk they took. And WHEN THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY.”

And the “WILL” is the will of the father, “He (the Lord) does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent” – 2Peter 3:9 (New Living Translation).

From this WILL comes the ultimate command, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” – Matthew 28: 19 (KJV).

And until we connect ourselves to this “WILL”, we are nothing but half-Christians.

And when I say we, I mean individual Christians and the church as a body.

Building a befitting place for the Lord is good and must be done. But it’s not the ULTIMATE. Spreading the gospel is. Desiring prosperity is NOT bad, but it’s only secondary.

When there is a will, the way will come: When there is passion, creativity and ingenuity will follow.

But how come NO Christian missionary around?

Everywhere I go (in the south), I see our northern brothers swelling in their numbers. May be they were chased from home.

How come no bible written in Hausa? Isn’t it supposed to be everywhere by now? How come I see nobody giving them the good news? How come I’m yet to hear of a church or denomination creatively ministering to them?

Jehovah witness are very skilled at home to home ministration. Very admirable. But what of our Hausa speaking brothers? Don’t they deserve salvation too?

I see many churches dish out fliers. Is there none for these new brethrens in our midst?

I’m yet to see a group with a “northern missionary ministry” – or its equivalent. Why?

These northerners in the south are potential agents of change. Give them the good news and they will take it back home. That region needs peace and the Christian community is partly responsible.

CAN should discuss this. It’s that serious.

@OP, there are hausa bibles and other hausa christian materials, hymn books, prayer books etc and there are plenty hausa misionary bodies COCIN, ECWA, NKST etc, what is needed is passion and taking tribalism out of us(I mean we African christians); a yoruba christian see a hausa speaking christian as a dumb ass, while a hausa speaking christian from, say Plateau will hardly want to mingle with his/her southern brethren, they prefer mingling with their hausa/fulani muslim brothers!

Actually, it is a huge blessing. They are a huge help in decreasing and possibly exterminating the northern savages. But their best work, will be their entrance into the southwest. I foresee them reducing to a very significant low number the amount of rats in the southwest. By 2038, the yorubitches could be struggling with a population of 3 million. That is why Boko Haram is a gift from God.

And both of you will be deluding yourselves that you will make heaven with these evil thoughts that resides in your heart....

Obadiah 1:12 says "You should not gloat over your
brother in the day of his
misfortune, nor rejoice over the
people of Judah in the day of
their destruction, nor boast so
much in the day of their trouble."

While Proverbs 17:5 says "Those who mock the poor insult
their Maker; those who rejoice at
the misfortune of others will be
punished."

You guys and the boko haram terrorists belong to the same league since you share the same vision
