www.odogwublog.com reports that an Onitsha based journalist, author and
gospel preacher Evangelist Theo Rays Ejikeme has observed that the continued
failure of Christian churches to live up to their billing as the light of world
and salt of the earth in addressing the problems of life is the root cause of
problem facing Ndigbo in Nigeria today.
Evangelist Ejikeme the founding
Minister of Sounds of God and Solution Ministries who spoke in Onitsha while
introducing what he called Special Prayer Focus on Ndigbo, stated that the
marginalization of Ndigbo in Nigeria setting is consequent upon the failure of
the churches to draw the attention of God on the challenges facing Ndigbo and
raise a high degree of political awareness among its followers.
"Permit me to say that
Christianity as being practiced by many churches today has failed to address
the problems of humanity and Ndigbo being a Christian dominated region or race
is a victim of that failure" he said adding that the Special Prayer Focus
is targeted to inspire churches in Igbo land to draw the attention of God on
plight of Ndigbo in Nigeria and raise high political awareness among the
people.
The Evangelist who is also the
founder and coordinator of Desert Ministers Forum attributed the failure of
Christianity to misplaced interested among church leaders who are more
interested in raising money to buy acquire worldly things, build cathedral and
schools than raising converts into the sanctuary of God according to the
Bible.
""In John 1:12, the
Bible says that those who believe are empowered to be sons and daughters of God
not worldly rich son and daughters and that is what they ambiguously teach in
non Christian worship centers. At non Christian worship centers they tell
people that they were born to rule but in the church they ask you to bring
money as offering, tithe and donation as such will attract God's blessings.
"Offering tithe and donation
attract blessing really but where are the result in the society which is
clearly being ravaged by corruption and poor performance among leaders who are
notable church members as well as cultism, homosexual, violent crime among and
drug addict among the youth who where born into Christian families"
The man of God informed that God has
inspired him to retool people into more effective Christian life adding that
the Special Prayer Focus is aimed at proving lasting solution to the challenges
facing Ndigbo.
"Ndigbo are currently in a
situation of tumult and bustle like a wounded Lion with some calling for
Restructuring of Nigeria and some agitating for the restoration of Biafra, all
these are good but we have to seek the face of God and ask for wisdom and
direction" he said
