You Are Very Wicked Oh Pastor

You Are Very Wicked Oh Pastor

"Malachi 3:5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts."

Nowadays, you often see and hear about labourers, workers, and staff being denied of their wages at every given time. In fact, in the Public environment (government), Staff are sometimes owed several months of unpaid salaries, which at times runs into years. How can a government, institution, church, business owners with clear conscience, expect maximum result/output from their staff they have denied their legitimate wages? This is not to mention the Pensioners that die daily waiting for their unpaid gratuity.

In Nigeria my dear Country, corruption have become our second nature, due largely to the encouragement it is receiving from the public cycle, and the silence of the church towards ill acquisition of wealth by both public, private and religious personnel/individuals. There are institutions commissioned to fight the scourge of corruption but, they too do ends up of been accused of corrupt practices all over.

Now, in the Redeemed Christian Church of God RCCG, there are two sets of pastors.

1.      Full Timers 
These are men and women, who one way or the other may have received a call from God to serve in the vineyard. These people often times resigned from their secular jobs, businesses, and occupation, thereby coming under the payroll of the church, which is now their primary and only source of income.

They have all the benefits that the church had put in place for their welfare in the services of the ministry. They are entitled to monthly salary (don’t know the criteria used), yearly house rent, transportation benefit on transfer, as well as pension on retirement amongst other things.

2.      Part Timers 
Unlike the Full Timers, Part Timers pastors in RCCG, are men and women, who may or may not have any calling of God to become a pastor but, whom the superior pastors deemed fit to serve in the vineyard of God, due largely to their commitment, selflessness, zeal, dedication, being a worker etc. They are people with their jobs, business men and women, students, unemployed/applicants, professionals, lecturers etc. 

These sets of pastors do not enjoy the same benefits as against the Full Timers pastors, since they have their private jobs and businesses for keeps. Form experience, the Part Timers pastors especially at the Parish level, does not have monthly salary or allowance in some Regions of RCCG (don’t know if it is everywhere), no house rent, no transportation on transfer etc.

Nevertheless, if the Public servants are withholding the monthly wage(s) of their staff under any excuse, should the church equally follow suites and copy them?

I recently heard how some Full Timers pastors were denied their monthly salaries by their superior pastors in RCCG, for the flimsy excuses of not attending Provincial programs. This is notwithstanding whether the said pastors affected were having genuine reason(s) for not attending or, not disposed to. Remember, these are married pastors with wife and children, whose daily responsibility for the upkeep of the family lies solely on the monthly salary of the pastor/husband/father.

Wicked superior pastors, what are you telling these affected pastors to do? Do you want them to start stealing and robbing to meet their needs? Is this the policy of RCCG to maltreat and manhandles pastors that fail to show up for programs? Where do you expect them to feed, clothe and pay their children’s school fees? Is this your actions worthy of emulations that can win the hearts of the unbelievers to Christ? Are you not turning these humble children of God into miserable beggars? No wonder God says judgment will begin in the church. 1Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

Most of these wicked superior pastors denying these defenceless junior Full Timers pastors in RCCG lives in opulence, preaches and ministers from a well structured facilities, good homes and good pays etc, while these maltreated Full Timers pastors lives in abject poverty, worship and ministers in tattered structures, burns the buck of their parishes etc. For God sake, a labourer is worthy of his wage 1Timothy 5:18 “For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward”, why are these wicked pastors therefore inventing their own scriptures to deny these junior Full Timers pastors their wage?

God is watching!

AN URGENT MESSAGE FROM THE LORD JESUS CHRIST TO THE CHURCH

AN URGENT MESSAGE FROM THE LORD JESUS CHRIST TO THE CHURCH
By: Blessing Ayuba
01/05/2013 BY 5.25AM WEDNESDAY

As we were about concluding our family devotion, the Lord Jesus Christ appeared to me in tears. When I saw Him crying, I rebuked Him. He responded by saying: "Daughter, do not rebuke me! I am the one, I am who I am". Then I asked Him, "Why are you crying? Your tears are touching my heart".
He then gave me the reason for the tears: "My children that I have redeemed from sin to righteousness have forsaking me. Especially my chosen ones - Pastors, Bishops, Evangelists, Prophets, Apostles, Deacons, Elders, etc. They shout in their churches pretending that they are worshiping me, not knowing that they are deceiving themselves. See how the heathen are slaughtering them like animals because they have refused to truly seek me in prayer and uphold my power which I have given them. In some of the churches, because of the presence of sin, I no longer have anything to do with because I cannot behold sin.
They tell the story of how the Isrealites wandered in the wilderness for 40 years instead of 40 days due to their disobedience. Are they (my children) not worst than them (Isrealites)?" Then I pleaded with Him "We are sorry. Have mercy on us".
The Lord then concluded: "Go and tell my children what you saw. Do not keep it to yourself".

This message is reaching you in obedience to His command.

Now That Our Pastors Are Private Jets Owners

Now That Our Pastors Are Private Jets Owners The blessing of the Lord maketh rich according to the book of Proverbs 10:22, without adding any form of sorrow with it. The primary assignment that our Lord Jesus Christ gave to the disciples/church, is to preach the kingdom of God, teaching them to observe all the things whatsoever He has commanded Matthew 28:19-20. These teachings Jesus made us to know are His commandments. Now, what are these commandments? They are Jesus's teachings pertaining love, John 13:34, and care, Luke 10:34. There are thousands of teachings out there that Jesus taught us but, I am dwelling on this two to drive home my point. Now, let's take LOVE: In John 3:16, the bible declared that, the LOVE for the salvation of humanity propelled the Almighty God by giving His only begotten Son. You must understand that, if you truly love someone, you can go to any length to ensure that, the fellow is catered for at all costs. What about CARE If you truly CARE for someone, it will take you out of your comfort zone to ensure the welfare of the fellow you care about. 1Peter 5:7 says, Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Men and brethren, do our pastors truly love and care for our souls today? This is the essence of this post. Today, with the proliferation of churches and the high returns on the investment that our pastors are making from their investment, it is no surprising that, the teachings of the kingdom of God, the dangers of hell fire, the doom of the unsave soul, holiness, righteous living, obedience, love for God and His word, consequences of sin, restitution, repentance, fruit of the Spirit, etc, have been replaced with the teachings and hammering on tithes, prosperity, favours, blessings, promotions, breakthroughs, goodwill etc. The effort and zeal they are pouring into these teachings to pleased themselves and their members is so tensed that, one will be tempted to think and believe that, with these sweet coated teachings of our private jets pastors, heaven a concluded matter already. How wrong we are! Don't get me wrong here. Can you for a moment reason and reflect on why are there more evil today despite the presence of much more churches? The reason is not far fetch. Our pastors have derailed from the original purpose of the church. They are today concerned about their church membership strength, and even though they know that they are trading with the truth, they careless. What will you say of a Sunday School Teacher in the Redeemed Christian Church of God RCCG, who declares that, the wife of the General Overseer of the mission, Mrs. Folu Adeboye, is an old woman, hence her dressing the way she is dressing now, that, this is the 21st Century and that the youths of today are not expected to dress like her. Jet flying pastors, what message(s) are you people teaching your congregations? Remember, you will give account of your stewardship to God. The matter have become more worse now than before, because, our pastors are now Private Jets Owners. Brethren, the reasons these private jets flying pastors no longer sees sin as evil, is because, they don't want to lose members, for should they preach on righteousness, holiness, peace with God, faithfulness, how can the public pen robbers in their churches bring money again for fueling their jets? In Matthew 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. Another reason while these pastors having private jets have derailed, is their self interpretation of the bible. They have now chosen what passages of bible to obey and preach about. How about pastors that are preaching and winning hundreds of thousands of people that, tithing was only applicable to the Levites. They said, as long as Jesus didn't pay nor received tithe, why will they pay too. Oh! How Satan have deceived and misled them. No wonder Satan is also pretending to be an angel of light "2Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light". Pastors, you are contending with God and his word with your actions. You better repent today and amend your ways, so that you will not suffer the lose of your soul in hell. WARNINGS: I must warn you brothers and sisters in Christ, that these pastors you are calling daddys and mummys does not love you, neither do they care about the salvation of your souls. What they love and care about is your POCKETS. They are wicked, heartless and killers, hence their refusal to tell you all the truth John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. The bible declares: But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons Hebrews 12:8. If you say your pastors love and care for you, why are they not chastising (correcting) you with the word of God?  Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. I ASK YOU NOW: Do you keep boyfriend and girlfriend? Are you an abortionist? Are you a smoker/drunkard? Do you masturbate? Do you have extra marital affairs? Are you a robber with your pen? Are you a kidnapper? Are you into witchcraft operations? Do you involves in money rituals? Are you a member of any secret cults? Do you lie? Are you into prostitution? Do you tattoo on your body? Do you paints and uses ornaments and jewelries? Do you use artificial materials - hairs, finger nails, eyebrows? Are you into bleaching? Are you an armed robber? Do you involve in sexual seduction with your dressing? Do you use trousers as a woman? Do you wear earrings as a man? What about partying? Do you curse and swear? Do you disobey by refusing to tithes? Are you into charms? Are you a gay? Are you a lesbian? Are you a homosexual? If you are involved in any of the listed above, and many others, you need the mercy of God for the salvation of your soul now. Jesus is ready to welcome you to Himself today Johh 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. Repent and ask for His mercy now as you still have the breath of God in your nostrils. Please, don't say tomorrow or that you will think about it first. There's absolutely no time Hebrews 3:15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. Jesus loves you very much and He never wants you to perish Luke 5:32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. PRAYER OF SALVATION Say this prayer with me, if you want to give your life to Jesus now as tomorrow is certainly too LATE. Lord Jesus, I come to you. I acknowledge that I am a sinner. Please, forgive me all my sins. Please, enrase my names from the book of death and write them in the Book of Life. I repent from all my sins today and I accept you as my personal Lord and Saviour. I know you die for me. Thank you for saving me today, in Jesus name, amen. If you have just said this prayer, congratulations. Don't go back to your sins again and please, find a bible believing and teaching church around you, so that you can learn more about Christ love and care. God bless you.

3G Video Calls Unknown In Nigeria?

3G Video Calls Unknown In Nigeria? The advent of Global System for Mobile GSM communications in Nigeria some years ago, ushered in a new level of communications among the Nigerian citizens. In fact, it was held in some circle then that, telephone was the big men, thereby sidelining and ultimately locking the access door to telephony services against the poor. This was so evident at the inception of GSM operation in Nigeria, as only well to do and very few others could afford a Sim card with a phone, that was selling as high as N30,000 in 2001 by the foremost operators, MTN and the then Econet. Today, the power of communications is now very much accessible and maintainable even by the very poor that was denied yesterday. All thanks to the competition that came as several operators were granted access to do business in the Nigerian telecoms segment of the economy. With billions of dollars investments by the various operators, and the roust business empire it has created among other markets in Africa, Nigeria indeed is a haven of telecoms success story. However, the benefits of the GSM operations in Nigeria, have over the years be restricted to voice services, as a lot of people taught that, all a handheld telephone device can do was just to call, hear and be heard by the parties exchanging such calls. This of course is the layman understanding of a GSM service(s). With the constant evolutions in the technological strata in the world over, particularly as it relates to how and the use of telecommunications gadgets, it should be noted therefore, that GSM services goes very far and beyond voice services. Again to the layman, this may appear strange. Nevertheless, GSM has other services that majority of the populace may never use or cannot use, by reason of the knowledge and the technology involved for its successful usage. The second most recognized product of GSM is the ability to surf the internet. This was a service that could only be accessible before the introduction of GSM in Nigeria, by visiting cyber cafes. The operators of these cyber cafes were having a field day at that time and into several years of GSM operations but, not any more. In fact, there are fewer cyber café operators today as a result of the ability of GSM phones including the ‘ordinary’ ones to access the internet from the comfort of the individual owner’s home. Now, with the government licensing these GSM operators to now offer 3G services, with different operational fees, most Nigerians including my humble self, have also restricted the services of 3G to mean surfing the internet with a higher speed as against what ordinary GSM license could offer. Just like in the case of GSM, 3G has more services it can offer other than just surfing the internet at a ridiculous high speed on the network of the operators that currently have its coverage in selected cities and towns across Nigeria. The essence of the post is on 3G video calls. Why is 3G video calls unpopular among the Nigerian telecoms subscribers today? Is it that the operators themselves careless about creating the awareness among their subscribers to embracing the service? Or, does it mean that 3G video calls is ‘too expensive’ that a subscriber can afford? These and many more are questions begging for answers. Moreover, when you visit the ‘Phone Section’ of a popular Nigerian Forum, Nairaland – www.nairanland.com owned by Seun Osewa, you will discover the wonderful testimonies that Nigerians are sharing among themselves about how they enjoying their 3G network in their domain to the maximum benefits. This usage is however restricted to surfing the internet on high speed, without a single mention of using this same 3G on making video calls. Over the years of 3G introduction to Nigeria by the telecoms operators, one aspect they were capitalizing during their adverts was video calls amongst other services. Nigerians, is 3G video service known or unknown to you? As a user of high end Smart phones and Tablets, do you video call on your gadgets? Why is 3G video calls unpopular among Nigerians today?

The HORRORS Of Hell Fire

I don't expect anyone to believe the existence of Hell Fire but, know this for sure: As far as there's day, night, seconds, minutes, hour, week, month, year, there's certainly Heaven and there's certainly Hell Fire. The bible teaches us in "Psalms 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God". Are you therefore among the nations that forget God? You have a great chance to repent today and turn to Jesus Christ for the salvation of your soul. I know of a particular set of people (Atheist) who never believes in the existence of God, talk-less of heaven and hell. Anyway, the bible declares in "Psalms 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good". So you see, you make yourself a fool for declaring or believing that there's no God. Atheist, let it be known to you today that there is God, and that He created you and everything you can see here on earth today. "Isaiah 40:28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding". Again, I know a particular Christian religious circle (Jehovah Witnesses) that had a belief that, heaven and hell is here on this planet earth. However, be reminded that heaven and hell are never on this planet earth. "Deuteronomy 4:39 Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else" and "Proverbs 15:24 ¶ The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath". Now, whether you believe in the existence of God, the reality of Heaven, the reality of Hell fire, one thing I want you to know is that, apart from the visions, revelations and personal experiences by individuals today about the reality of Heaven and Hell fire, let it be known to you that the bible equally gives an account of heaven and hell experience. "Luke 16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom". Please, visit this link http://www.freecdtracts.com/hell.htm and read about the testimonies of HUMANS BEINGS that experienced heaven and hell at one time and the other. Again, please, take time to watch the following videos, centered on the Horrors of Hell and quickly make amendment today, to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour. May God richly bless your soul as you repent today. Say this brief prayer: Lord Jesus, have mercy on me a sinner. I come to you today to wash me clean in your blood. I accept you as my Lord and personal Saviour. Thank you for saving me in Jesus name, amen. Congratulations to you child of God, you are now a Christian. Please, find a bible believing and practicing church to learn more about our Lord Jesus Christ. God bless you. Here are LINKS to the various videos I want you to prayerfully watch and pray everyday for God's mercy. God bless you. http://watchmanreports.com/m/articles/view/The-Horrors-of-Hell http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1jBIoKnJIc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--l0M963b5A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beOvCoILJUY

The Cry Of Jesus Christ Daily

The cry of Jesus Christ daily is the endless invitation to sinners: "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" Matthew 11:28 Now, how many people are heeding the voice of Jesus to really come unto Him? Many of us hides under our Christian religious enclave to commit countless sins daily. Some of us think that, by reason of our 'versed' knowledge of the bible and being pastors and ministers of the Gospel, that we are true Christians. A true Christian is the one that is known by his/her works in Christ Jesus. A womanizer, or a smoker, or a drunkard, who hides under the Christian umbrella and continues in his/her wicked acts even in secrets is only deceiving him/herself. True repentance comes from the heart. Romans 10:10a "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness" and manifest in the outward appearance through public confession. Romans 10:10b "and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation". How therefore can a man who says he/she knows God will still be smoking, womanizing, being drunk (heavy/light), defraud, masturbate, lie, homosexual, lesbian, robber (political/educational/wealth) etc. I therefore call on you reading this post right now to please, ACCEPT Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour today, so that He can truly and wholly deliver you from the danger of Hell fire. Matthew 5:22c "but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire". Say this prayer right now if you want to accept the Lordship of Jesus Christ into your life: Lord Jesus, I come to you today just as I am. I acknowledge that I am a sinner. I have sinned against heaven and against earth. Please Lord Jesus, forgive me all my sins today, and wash me clean in your precious blood. I receive forgiveness from my sins today. I receive grace to live above sin today. I confess you as my personal Lord and saviour. Thank you Jesus for saving me. I am now a child of God! Hallelujah. If you just said the above prayer, congratulations. I welcome you in the family of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. God bless you as you look for a bible believing and practicing church around you, to help you to learn and know more about our Lord Jesus Christ.

Give Peace A Chance In Nigeria Today

PEACE is a NON NEGOTIABLE for Nigeria's survival and continuous existence. I therefore call on Book Haram in the North, MEND in Niger - Delta, OPC in the South - West and MASSOB in the East, to please, GIVE PEACE A CHANCE IN NIGERIA today and lay down your ARMS. However, whoever is fanning the embers of WAR, DISUNITY, DIVISIONS and DESTRUCTIVE TENDENCIES in Nigeria today should therefore know that, WAR has NO family, father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, friend or relative. As it kills and destroys to the right, so it does to the left. Therefore, let's give PEACE a chance and embrace one another in the true spirit of togetherness, so that indeed, THE LABOUR'S OF OUR HEROES PAST SHALL NEVER BE IN VAIN. God bless Nigeria, our FATHER'S LAND. Thank you all. Signed: Lugard O. Ekhator, A True Believer of Nigeria's Togetherness. All rights reserved. lugardosas@gmail.com

Dissolution Of Marriages By The Law Courts: Right Or Wrong In The Christian Perspective?

Dissolution Of Marriages By The Law Courts: Right Or Wrong In The Christian Perspective?

As a Christian, I have really been worrying over this subject matter. To me, I am of the opinion that, the courts are surely going against the word of God, as it relates to separating legally married people (man & woman), using the courts, another legal entity. Remember, any marriage conducted whether in the church, in the court, or in traditional way and method has a legal backing and God’s approval.

To begin, in Hebrews 13:4, the bible declares “Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge”. If marriage is therefore a thing of honour, how then will the courts become the instruments to break this honourable institution? This is left for the courts to answer.

Right now, one may be tempted to say God approves device because, in Matthew 5:31, the bible says "It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement". Yes, this is the word of God but, you will not get the true message until you read the next verse. Let’s go there and read. Matthew 5:32 “But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery”. You see, before you dream of ever divorcing your wife/husband, it has to be under the case of unfaithfulness which ultimately is extra marital affairs. This in essence brings to the fore that, a couple that parted ways in divorcement prepares themselves for adultery, which is a sin against God. Exodus 20:14 says "Thou shalt not commit adultery".

Even at that, Paul declared that, should you ever divorce your husband/wife, be ready to remain UNMARRIED until one partner in the aborted union dies 1Corinthians 7:11 “But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife”. The case of divorcement is never a thing that true Christians should ever consider.

Nevertheless, there were some people who were trying to prove to Jesus that, they were given the go ahead order to divorce their wives  in Matthew 19:7 “They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away”? but, the reaction of Jesus in the matter angered them. Jesus told them that, it was as a result of the stubbornness/hardness of their hearts that Moses gave them that law, which was never so from the beginning Matthew 19:8 “He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so”.

To get better understanding of God against divorcement, the bible in Malachi 2:16 says, “For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously”. Judge, Solicitor, Lawyer, are you therefore considering it fun to preside over cases of divorcements in your courts?

No Man Should Put Asunder What God Had Joined Together

Marriage is usually between two people, who have come of age with high sense of responsibility, and primarily for procreation.

Now, the bible gives explicit clarification on the issue of divorcement. In Matthew 19:6 “Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder”. Also, in the book of Ephesians 5:31,the bible says “For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh”. And in Genesis 2:24, “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh”. If the bible so declared that, the two married couples are ONE FLESH, why are the courts now dividing this one flesh into two halves, and thereby putting 'asunder' what God had joined together?

Though not a lawyer but, I do know that the court is a legal institution, established by law, to address and correct the injustice in the land, to uphold and defend the constitution of the land, to defend the rights of the oppressed, to settle disputes and resolves lingering crisis, and so on and so forth. These two questions therefore now arise:

1. Is it right and biblical for the law courts to dissolve any marriage that have been consummated under church, court and traditional law?

2. Is it also wrong and unbiblical for the law courts to dissolve any marriage that have been consummated under church, court and traditional law?

Let's hear your views and biblical scriptures to drive home your support or against position over this matter. Thank you.

Disclaimer: Please, this is a personal submission over the behaviours of mobile phone network operators in Nigeria, therefore, don't crucify me for saying my mind. Thank you.

MNP is the acronym for Mobile Number Portability. Every Nigerian knows that the telecoms regulator in Nigeria, the NCC have long been promising MNP to Nigerians for a long time now. The more Nigerians expected this process to begin within the telecoms operators in Nigeria, the more it appears that it can never be possible.
Anyway, the wait seems to be over now with the green light NCC gave that, its implementation will begin (or have began) on 26th March, 2013. Although the four major telecoms operators to begin with the MNP have not release any guidelines on their website, Nigerians are truly looking up to a time they will have the POWER to hire and fire any operator at will, for this is the major essence of the MNP implementation.
From the foregoing, let me quickly say that, after observing the behaviours among the four major operators in Nigeria, which are Glo, MTN, Airtel and Etisalat, I have personally concluded NEVER to port/migrate to any network under the MNP implementation due to the simple fact that, never will a particular network provider tire me down to their service during poor service delivery on their network. To this end, my numbers on the various networks stays as they are at the moment.

Now, every individual telecoms service subscriber to Glo, MTN, Airtel and Etisalat in Nigeria knows too well that, these four operators have one thing in common - poor service delivery. With the continuous deteriorating services these telcos are offering Nigerians and coupled with the fact that, you are sometimes locked-out by these operators from legally using the service you have subscribed, it therefore make no sense for one to migrate under this MNP regime. The issue of drop calls, over charging on calls, SMS failures and charged, data subscription yet unusable, exorbitant data tariff, unable to call with airtime availability, USSD transaction failures, party called unreachable yet with you, charges for service(s) not rendered and so on and so forth, ranges among the challenges we currently face from these operators.

Ordinarily, one would think that with the HUGE profits these telcos are presenting at the end of every year from their investment, it will present a situation of normal business environment satisfaction from the contributors (subscribers) of these huge gains with quality service delivery but alas, the reverse is the case. The trend has always been that, the subscriber is at the receiving end while the operators keep smiling to the banks at their detriment. MNP somehow will address this but not ultimately.

In pursuant of this topic, I may therefore lack substance to fully express my position but, my decision NEVER to port my number or any of my numbers remain.

ADVANTAGE OF MNP:
1. Ability to retain your NUMBER after porting to a new telecom service provider.
To me, this is the only advantage that MNP will bring to the game. My argument is hinged on the fact that, most Nigerian telecoms subscriber today that have refused to adopt a new number from another provider, despite been offered poor and terrible services from their current operator, is borne out of the fact that, majority of the people have been using the said number they don't want to lose from the inception of Mobile Telephone services in Nigeria. Therefore, switching to a new service provider will mean that, you have to notify all your contacts about your new number, thereby giving you extra work to do. But with MNP, your contacts are still intact with your KNOWN NUMBER even though you are now on operator B network.

DISADVANTAGES OF MNP:
1. Tied down for a period of 90 days. I will rather switch Sim cards on my phone than switch a telecom service provider.
Now, MNP gives you the ability to switch a network provider but, only once in 90 days. Should the operator you just migrated falls into serious network challenges, it means you will remain with them no matter your bitter experience at the moment for a 90 days period. Me? Never!

2. Jump-in but can't Jumb-out at will. Today, whenever you are having network challenges with operator A, you quickly switch to operator B by changing your Sim card. In the case of MNP, you can only jump in at a time but can't jump out as you may desire to do with MNP regime.
These and many more are the reasons I will never jump ship for any reason as the current situation stands with all the four major telecoms operators here in Nigeria. They are all birds of the same feather.

Therefore, I humbly submit that, any reasonable Nigerian that want to continue to set the pace for his/her telecoms usage, should reject MNP and embrace multiple Sim card from the four operators. Thank you.

The Unknown God Ministry Benin City

The Unknown God Ministry (Church), Benin City, Edo State

 The Southern part of Nigeria is known for their high religious practice, particularly the Christian faith, which has seen the influx of religious practitioners hiring and buying up available spaces for their religious activities. It is a common sight in the South, particularly Benin City in Edo State, to see churches and ministries set up in the name of God, outdoing one another, in a state that can best be describe as 'pure human competition'. In one house (building), you can count as much as three (3) churches, not to talk of the countless churches with different believe and doctrines adorning various streets lanes.

It is a common knowledge in the South also that, as a result of the lucrativeness of church businesses, the hitherto native/witch doctors have transformed into overnight presidents and founders of most of these new generation churches. The Southerners being too miracle seeker can go to any length to seek for solutions to their perceived problems, thereby visiting these pastors and GOs, who were neither called nor anointed into church ministry. A lot of people have on the process compounds their problems, while allowing these mogs attended to them, who in turn transfers their wicked powers into these solution seekers. Be careful therefore of where you visit as a church.

Now, as a result of the wide discrepancies and discrimination among the Christian faith which I fortunately belong, it has therefore created hatred and disunity among fellow Christian practitioners, which today is the major setback in uniting the nation Nigeria. If the church that preaches Christ love can be so divided, how can the different ethnic and religious nationals unite under one umbrella of peace and tranquility, which is highly needed for Nigeria's development today? Until and unless the church is united, there will never be a united Nigeria.

On this note, I welcome you all to the ‘Unknown God Ministry (Church)’, situated along Okabere Road, after Power Line, Off Upper Sakponba Road, By Oka Market, Oka Quarters, Ikpoba - Okha LGA, Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria.

At first, it was like a puzzle to me but, I was facing reality in broad day light in this 21^st Century. What quickly ran through my mind at that moment was the experience of Apostle Paul in Athens. It is therefore amazing to note that, in this age of sophisticated technology, a lot of people (Christians) are still being deceived. In Philippines 3:10, Paul said, 'That I may know him'. How then on earth will a church today choose the name 'The Unknown God Ministry'?

In the City of Athens, Paul called the people who had the inscription 'TO THE UNKNOWN GOD' ignorant worshipers Acts 17:23. I can as well confidently declare that, the pastor and members of this 'The Unknown God Ministry' are very much more ignorant of their professed Christian faith.

While Jesus was admonishing his disciples, he declared in John 6:45 'And they shall be all taught of God'. Can a God that is not known teach?

Again, the Almighty God warned us through David in Psalms 81:9 'There shall no strange god (Unknown God) be in thee; neither shall thou worship any strange god (Unknown God)'. I therefore call on the entire members of this affected church, to as a matter of urgency make a u-turn to seek and serve the KNOWN GOD through Jesus Christ.

Our forefathers who were idols worshipers in their time, never served any 'Unknown god (idol)', why will a church who is suppose to be the light of the world declared that, they are serving an 'Unknown God'?

Will you therefore worship in a church where their God is unknown or you will worship in church where their God is known? The choice is certainly yours.

However, I give God all the glory today because, I know him. He is my all in all.
