Jesus said go into the world and preach the gospel... He did not say go into the world and build a church.. What is the name of the church built by Jesus himself? MaxInDHouse: |

MaxInDHouse:Miss Elton wasn't a church planter but freelance preacher. Her father was sent as an THE APOSTOLIC CHURCH missioner from UK before she then made up mind to make Nigeria her abode despising the suffering for the gospel sake. Church planters are mostly territorial preachers whereby their messages will be limited for certain territory. |

PlayerMeji:Thanks for this! Jesus couldn't form a church in the first century because the Jewish religious leaders were trailing him up and down looking for ways to get him killed {John 11:57} so he kept preaching and teaching from house to house and door to door but not staying permanently in any location. But after his resurrection this is what he commanded his disciples who by then has numbered in hundreds: "But you will receive power when the holy spirit comes upon you, and you will be witnesses of me in Jerusalem, in all Ju·deʹa and Sa·marʹi·a, and to the most distant part of the earth.” Act 1:8 By this time it's difficult for the Jewish religious leaders to capture more than 500 people who are preaching and teaching throughout Judea and Jerusalem so they sent out spies in search of anyone declaring Jesus as the Messiah! Act 4:16-17; 5:28 Later after the Roman governor's intervention illegal arrests, detention and persecution of anyone on the basis of faith was ruled out that's why the first century disciples of Christ could form a congregation (church) in Jerusalem! Act 15:1-2 So the Apostles formed a church in Jerusalem until the nation was destroyed by the Romans for their terrorist actions but the first century disciples of Christ had escaped because Jesus has warned them in a prophecy! Luke 21:20-24 |

OLAADEGBU:RIP Ma, you reminded today the lives of other Christian Missionaries mostly of Baptist Denomination that I am familiar with as well as other Denominations that had toiled in this part of the World & had gone to be with the Lord Jesus Christ. May their kind Souls continue to Rest In Peace. Amen. |

paxonel:Your own impact is just to point fingers when logs of woods plenty for your own eyes. Tell us your own impact whether with private jet or leg jet, you can't trace anything except making online noise and fulfilling your devil assignment unknowingly to oppose or diminish anything body of Christ. You can't do, and those that re doing; you keep insulting them. Tht is end time devil's assignment given to you unknowingly |

What a life. What manner of conviction. To sacrifice everything you hold dear in your own country and die in faraway Africa. May she rest in perfect peace in heaven. |

OriOko88:These churches, they have diminished your brains to coconut so that you lack ability to understand what people are saying I don't say there are no pastors in the uk don't misquote me. I asked you a question, Are you aware that Nigerian pastors don't have the licence to operate in the Uk anymore? That is not to say there are no pastors in the Uk

I believe this mentality is flawed. Sometimes, a missionary’s role may be to strengthen what others have done. It isn’t about setting up your own church, it is about Jesus glorified. Sometimes, they even set up crusades and direct souls won to other churches for discipleship. The last Reinhard Bonnke is an example — He had a ministry that held crusades and souls won were discipled by other ministries. He was a member of a church he didn’t pioneer. So please, honor yeh sacrifices the woman made for the faith and stop with this what is the ministry she founded called? I don’t think her dad even founded any ministry but his impact in illesa—Osun state still speaks volumes. MaxInDHouse: |

Christianity is about what Jesus taught faithful people on how to form a global family of peace loving worshipers {Isaiah 2:2-4} as the Prince of Peace {Isaiah 9:6} all his disciples will become loving, joyous and peaceful people in all the earth. Act 1:8 So if anyone is claiming missionary but can't present the church he established like Paul did such a person is FAKE! janeedema: |

Britishpea:But he has a point. Daddy GO said he bought private jets in order to take the gospel to far away places for Evangelism. Why have they refused to fly to Saudi, Yemen, Iran, Palestine to spread the good word? Only the Catholic church exists in Arab countries..Why are our Daddy GOs not going there to spread Evangelism.. |
