DonXavi: As a matter of fact, the spiritual foundation of Turkey, Nigeria does not come near it. Because the seven churches Jesus Christ wrote letters to in Revelation 2 and 3, all those 7 churches were located in Turkey. Apostle Paul, the champion of the gospel was a citizen of Turkey. The Macedonia vision that Paul saw 'come over to Macedonia and help us' Paul received it in Turkey. Turkey had solid Christian foundation but Islam uprooted everything. So if the Nigerian Church is deceiving itself, eh! There is fire on the roof. I work with the Voice of Christian martyrs and we go all over the North. That is why I was able to give each one of you a magazine. I want you to read the magazine when you get home. By the grace of God I produced that magazine. I met the people, almost everybody there one on one. We go to the North. Is not that am living in Lagos and somebody is bringing information, we go there – to Maidugiri, to Kaduna, to Kano. I go there to meet with Christians who are being persecuted and I must protest that the church in the South is a selfish and a wicked group of believers because you abadoned the Christians in the North.
Look, God is the God of justice and God is the God of judgment. Let’s not provoke him to repay us with our wickedness. Because if God look at what the Christians in the South have done to the Christians in the North, He will fold his arms and allow Boko Haram to deal with us. We have to go to US, we have to go to Canada, to Poland, to Australia, to New Zealand to raise Christians that will help and support the Christians in the North. Nigerian church is not lifting a finger. It's not that you don't have money, the Nigerian Church has money but they help nobody. They only take and take, they don't give jack… I have to skip some things.
The sin of irresponsibility: When God spoke to Professor Anibuogu, he said that the Nigerian Church is guilty of the sin of irresponsibility. To the Church in Laudicea, God says you are blind, you are wretched, you are naked. To the Church in Sadis, God said you have a name that you live but you are dead. To the Nigerian church, God says you are irresponsible. What Yorubas call òniranlo. we have been given so much we have delivered little, we only think about ourselves! We are consumed with our comfort, our convinience, our promotion, our breakthrough we don't even see what is going on around us. You saw the footage, you saw the footage. As am talking to you it’s still going on and we have men of God in this country who can stand and say No! IArchbishop Idahosa is dead. If that man was alive, maybe things would not have been the way it is. And we thank God for small mercies and that we have somebody like Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor as CAN president. The people that abuse him the most are the Christians and believe me, if that man was not the President of CAN, you can't sit down here today, you can't sit here because Lagos has become a jihadist state don't you know that? Lagos is jihadist, you can't sit; they would have locked you up. It's because someone is still standing and he's standing alone and all the other Pastors are abusing him. Go online and see what Christians are writing about CAN, about Oritsejafor you will weep. God said September 15, 2013 if care is not taken, in 30 to 40 years Nigeria will be like Turkey.
Exactly the way God said it is the way I have written it there, the name of the man God spoke to, I have put it there. Dr. Anibuogu told us this at a strategy meeting in CAN in November last year. That Nigerian church has an ultimatum of 30 years. If you don't repent and return and do the work God has called you to do and leave this nonsensical attachment to vanity and stop pursuing prosperity, and stop pursuing breakthrough and pursue discipleship, in 30 years you will not hand over Christianity to your children. God told him to learn from Turkey. And what did the most high say, find out how christianity was destroyed in Turkey and professor Anibuogu discovered that every mistake the Christians in Turkey made that led to the collapse of Christianity, the Nigerian Church is repeating all those mistakes step by step, one by one. See, it’s like we went to Turkey and asked the Christians there, I heard that you people were Christians here, they said yes. But now Islam has taken over they said yes. Did you do anything wrong? they said we did many things wrong. So why don't you write for us the things you did wrong? They listed the mistakes that they made and the Nigerian Church came back and started implementing it.
That's what we have done. Time will not permit me to go into details, I will just run through them because there are still some things I have to share. I told you, if I have to do a thorough job I will need a minimum of 3 hours but I will work within the 50minutes.
Number one, the church underestimated the young Ottoman ruler the same the Nigerian Church is underestimating Islam. I have met Church leaders who have argued with me; it's not possible, it's not. You mean what they are doing? That they will do it here? No way! No way? You don't know Islam. You don't know the spirit that is behind Islam. Can you imagine, until you saw it here that somebody will use cutlass and split the head of a child? When you're coming to church this morning, did it occur to you? Can you imagine someone will burn another human being simply because he doesn't believe in what he believes in? They went to a church in Bogoro on a Sunday, locked the doors, stood outside and threw in cans of petrol and set it on fire and refused to allow the Christians to come out and they roasted 70 people inside the church on Sunday. Deeper life in Gombe, they were having prayer meeting in the evening, three of them lined up the windows with AK47 and sprayed everybody. I was there, I saw it, I saw the place. In fact I brought a piece of stone, I left it inside the car, from Jos, from the mass grave of the 500. You can't believe it! The Nigerian Church is underestimating Islam.
Number two, the church in Contantinople which is the old name of Istanbul, which is now the commercial capital of Turkey from where everybody in Turkey now spread out assumed that Constantinople was the best defended city in Europe. The Nigerian church is making the same mistake. They think they are the largest in Africa, the largest in the world, its a mistake.It doesn't stop Islam. The leadership of the Church in Turkey within and outside was bitterly divided. The church in Nigeria, are they united? ah! Jesus Christ says a house that is divided it cannot stand, ok. On the basis of that alone, if Islam does not divide the church, the bàbà làwos will do it. We are divided, we are not working as one but thank God it is beginning to change. What makes me happy is that Church leaders are now beginning to listen to us. so, everything that I am telling you this morning, I am passing to you information and I have to tell you the way it is so that you can be galvanised into righteousness. I hope you're getting my point. It took a lot of time, it took a lot of work but we've been able to call them; the heads of denominations with the President of CAN, with the chairman of CAN South-west, we sat at University of Lagos we discussed this thing, we met again we discussed this thing and they agreed at the last meeting that they will unite. Because each person, each ministry in Nigeria stands on its own, they are not connected. In fact, don't let us go into that because we will not have time, they are divided. Global news carried this headline in December 2011 'Rumble in the house of God, Nigerian Pastors that hate themselves' and they put there photographs there and they wrote this one hates this pastor while this one hates this one, it's a big mess.
Racism and tribalism weakened the Church in Turkey. Racism and tribalism is weakening the body of Christ in Nigeria. We have the Yoruba Church, am I right? We have the Igbo Church, we have the Hausa church, is that not so? Look, in the Yoruba Church, if you are an Igbo man if you carry anointing let fire come out of your head, you will not reach the top because it's a Yoruba Church. If it is an Igbo Church and you're a Yoruba man possess all the revelations that you know you are on your own, you will not get anywhere because it is an Igbo Church. We brought our petty politics inside the Church! that is the mistake they made in Turkey that Islam is now 96% and the church is 0.21%. The Nigerian Church is making the same mistake and God is warning, hey! hey! the way you people are going I have seen it before o, this thing you people are doing in Nigeria, I have seen it before. I saw it in 1453 before you were born, you are making the same mistake o, you are going the same way. I will give you 30 years, I will hold them back for 30years. If after 30 years you don't change, I will take my hands off your case.
Powerless Church authority without peoples backing and financial support. I mentioned earlier concerning CAN. The only platform we have to fight this war is CAN. You can't fight it on PFN. PFN is only 20% of the church because CAN has 5 blocks. You need CAN. All the Christians have to come together, stand as one and say no to Islam. See, it is Christians who are abusing CAN and Christians refuse to fund CAN. How can you execute war on an empty treasury? It is not that the Nigerian Church doesn't have money. Let me ask you a question very quickly, what is the annual revenue of Nigerian Church? does anyone know? No, you don't, N3trillion.The Nigerian Church combined gets an annual revenue in excess of N3 trillions. How much does Nigerian Church contribute to its umbrella organisation, CAN? You know? You don't know? #1,250,000! Each block pays N250,000. Even that N250,000, there are blocks that are owing in arears for years and refused to pay. So, CAN has no money. Islam took $21b, now tell me how you are going to fight them with a budget of N1,250,000, how are you going to fight? Meanwhile, God is angry that you are not doing what he called you to do. That you're now doing your own thing; so how are you going to fight Islam? Tell me!
I can't explain this because of time but I need to mention quickly that it's repeating itself. The weapon used to destroy Constantinople was invented by a Christian. He invented a can of basilica, took it to Christians to buy, and Christians didn't have the money, he carried to the Muslims, sultan Memmed paid him cash. In 3 months, basilica was ready. It blew Constantinople to pieces. The same problem is in Nigeria. The strategies the Muslims are using, that they will use to destroy the Church, it is Christians who are strategising for them. see, We've taught our people to be so sensitive to money that they've lost all sense of spirituality. The only thing an average Christian thinks about now is how he will get money. whether it will cost him his soul, whether it will compromise his position as a Christian, he doesn't think about it anymore because for the past 20 years we stopped raising disciples, we focused on raising millionaires. APC is a party to watch carefully, am not a politician but the church must know this because there is no way you can separate national politics from what is going on. I will talk a little bit about APC. But for 2015, APC has hired the campaign manager of Obama to come and strategize for them in Nigeria. When the man got to Nigeria, he needed the local to interface, the person he employed is a pastor. To hand over power to a party that resembles in all intents and purpose, the Islamic brotherhood.
Even Egypt rejected Islamic brotherhood, even Syria; if you watch what is going on in Syria. The western power looked at the Sunis from Saudi Arabia, they looked at the Shiites from Iran who are now supporting and fighting Assad, and they said listen, rather than allow either of this two groups to take over power after Assad, Assad we'll forgive you all your sins, sit down there. That's what is going on, that's why Assad is winning the civil war because the western powers are now throwing there weight behind Assad. Why? We don't want Islamic brotherhood, a Pastor is the one strategising for Islamic brotherhood in Nigeria. The weapon used to destroy Turkey was invented by a Christian and the Nigerian Church is following suit.
There is no time to talk further on that. Constantinople had an army of 7,000, Muslims had a force of 80,000. The Church does not have an army. Look, if you don't believe me, Pastor, this Sunday, call for evangelism tomorrow and tell the members, all this people here that tomorrow we are going on evangelism and count the number of people who will come. Those who come are the disciples; the other people will find their excuses. Am busy, I have to go somewhere, Pastor you have to excuse me I cannot make but they will not come because they are not disciples. That’s our problem.
Now am going to say something without any particular church in mind, because each time I mention this at a presentation Pastors will get very uncomfortable. It has to do with cathedral. In Constantinople, rather than build men, they concentrated on building cathedral. They built this house called Hyersophia, the house of wisdom. In its days, this house was the most magnificent, the most expensive, the most beautiful house. This was what the church concentrated on rather than build that can defend this house. On the day Constantinople fell, because there were no men to defend the city, the first person to enter hyersophia was 21 years old sultan memmed. He headed straight for the alter, stood on the alter, raised his hands and shouted 'Allah hu arkka bal' and right there he commanded, 'convert it to a mosque'. (shows image) This is hyersophia as a mosque and it remained a mosque for 478years until 1931 when the government of Turkey went circular, then the government of Turkey said ' convert it to a museum' but till today, it has not been handed over to the Church, it is a museum. Now, the Nigerian Church has decided to build cathedral but please, let us put the horse before the cat. Let us raise disciples, don't let us make the same mistake.
Ah! ok, let me come back to this one. I raised this during the National Conference, at the plenary and the conference went on fire, everything scattered immediately and the Muslims got up, they tried to shout me down. I pointed out to Nigeria that we have a Constitutional problem that is the core issue that we must resolve. And what is the problem of Nigeria? It is not corruption, It is not Boko Baram, it is not mediocrity, it is not lawlessness, our problem is “dual ideology” within the Nigerian Constitution. It must be resolved. If we don't resolve it, Nigeria is not going anywhere. There are two ideologies inside the Nigerian Constitution. Let me show you something, Sharia is mentioned in the constitution 73 times, Islam 28 times, Grand kadi 54 times, Muslim 10 times in the Nigerian Constitution 1999. There is no single mention of Christ in the Nigerian Constitution. No single mention of Christian in the Nigerian Constitution, No single mention of Christianity, no single mention of Church in the Nigerian constitution. Now I ask you ma, is your country a Christian state, an Islamic State or a circular state? Which one is Nigeria? Talk to me. Constitutionally, Nigeria is an Islamic State.
The reason it has not been enforced is because they have not captured the jewel they need to enforce it and that jewel is the South-west and right now they are set because there has been a handshake between the North-west and the South-west. And this is where Christians need to wake up and politics now comes in, which we now need to start creating political awareness in Christians. Christians don't vote. I am one bad example. so am not saying you alone, but we must change it and use our votes to quickly restructure the political imbalance in Nigeria because if you make a mistake to use your thumb and dig the grave of the Church, you will stand before Jesus Christ and render account. I am not a member of PDP, I am not a a member of APC, but I saw something that makes me worry and I think you should see it. The leadership structure of APC, National Leader ,North (Muslim), National Leader South (Muslim), National Chairman (Muslim), Deputy National Chairman (Muslim), National Secretary (Muslim), Deputy National Secretary (Muslim), National Publicity Secretary (Muslim), National Treasurer (Muslim), National Financial Secretary (Muslim), National Youth Leader (Muslim), Legal Adviser m
(Muslim), Women Leader (Muslim), Ex-official Members (Muslim), and they call you to come and thumb. Come and thumb. And there are Christians ready, who are already in APC.
Look, if you use your thumb to dig the grave of the Church, my hand is not there o, I have told you. There is an Islamic Agenda for Nigeria, there is an agreement between the North-west and the South-west. We all open our eyes we allow a political party to give us Muslim governors. 80% of their governors are Muslims. There must a restructuring. 2015, Christians must stand and insist, Lagos State governor must be a Christian. You must stand. We are going to insist we are not accepting any Christian candidate that an Islamic party is going to give us. we will pick our own candidate under a different political platform. if we don't, you can't meet here oo! my time is off. The pastor says I should continue, thank you Sir.
