IGNORANCE IS KILLING THE EKKLESIA

-
 

By Akin Ojumu

While the people of this generation boast about their enlightenment and we revel in our ability to access terabytes of information with a single click, the Church of God wallows in ignorance and many of us walk around blind to God’s Truth.

At no time in history of mankind has the world been this suffused with this much Biblical resources and never before has the well of Spiritual information been this full. Indeed, we live in a world inundated with the Bible.

Yet at a time when there’s such a rich abundance of resources from which to glean undiluted exegesis, learn uncorrupted theology, be disciplined in unadulterated doctrine, the absence of insight into the Truth of God is profound. In an era that should be marked with the overflow of the understanding of the Word of Life, a pandemic of lack of discernment has inflected the Ekklesia. 

If we cannot discern the Truth with this much resource at our disposal any wonder why hundreds of millions are ensconced in a milieu of deception and tens of millions die of a thousand heresies. If, in the midst of such richness of Biblical resources available to us, there is this level of ignorance about God’s Word, it should come as no surprise that many die of spiritual kwashiorkor.

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Since you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being My priest. Since you have forgotten the Law of your God, I also will forget your children.” (Hosea 4:6)

Brothers and Sisters, we've got a problem. And that problem is lack of discernment. Because the Ekklesia cannot discern the Truth, many die of spiritual AIDS on a daily basis. The Church is suffocating to death because the oxygen of God’s Truth that can keep it alive is in short supply.

“Return! Return! Return!” The Word of God says, “Return!” In order for the Body of Christ to live, it must plug itself back into its life source. For the Church to come alive it must return to the Truth of the Word of God.

FACT CHECK: DID BOLA TINUBU CALL FOR REDUCTION OF NIGERIANS’ PURCHASING POWER?

By Akin Ojumu  With respect to Bola Tinubu’s presidential aspiration, my position is pretty clear. Those who’ve been following my various commentaries on this issue know very well that I’m not a fan of Bola Tinubu and his unscrupulous campaign to become the next president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.  My opposition to Bola Tinubu’s candidacy is visceral and intense. The man is a clear and present danger to the well-being of Nigeria, if he ever becomes president. BAT is an advanced metastatic cancer rapidly growing and spreading in the Nigeria polity. If the country must survive, this deadly cancer must be treated as all advanced cancers are treated; radical excision combined with several courses of radiotherapy and multiple cycles of chemotherapy cocktail in addition to the clearing of all associated lymph nodes. Now, there’s one thing I detest as much as Bola Tinubu’s presidential run, and that’s fake news. I cherish the truth, it’s the compass that guides us to safe shores. Wi

BECAUSE JOB DIDN’T TITHE, HIS LIFE BECAME TIGHT

By Akin Ojumu Being the trust-but-verify guy that I am, while fact-checking a social media post by one of my High School friends, in which Bishop David Oyedepo was quoted to have linked the adversity of Job to his tithing habit, I was shocked, but not at all surprised, to find a 2019 video that did indeed confirm what my good friend shared.  In Bishop Oyedepo's telling, the real cause of Job's afflictions was his failure to pay tithes. According to him, God removed Job's divine security and allowed Satan to buffet him with calamity because the man was a habitual tithe defaulter. Because Job didn't tithe, his life became really tight. Here is the Bishop in his own words: “You can't see anywhere where Job tithed. So, his blessing was not secured. You can't find anywhere where Job tithed. No! He was overly committed to giving liberally to the poor and God was committed to bless him. But there was no security.” Just so it's absolutely clear. Bishop Oyedepo's

YOU CAN’T LOVE NIGERIA & WANT BOLA TINUBU AS ITS PRESIDENT

By Akin Ojumu Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not a stranger to Nigerians. The man with the Graves Disease eyes has been around a long time. BAT is a vector of deadly viral disease of pandemic proportions. He is a parasite that takes over everything his hand touches.  The following is just a sample of what Bola Tinubu, allegedly, did to Lagos State: Number 4, Oyinkan Abayomi (Formerly Queens) Drive, Ikoyi – Valued at N450 Million A 5-bedroom detached house on one acre of land was Lagos State Governor’s guest house since 1979 Certificate of occupancy was signed and released to Tinubu by Fashola in 2007 26 Bourdillon Road, Ikoyi – Valued at N600 Million Originally claimed to be by Oando Plc Guest House, it was later acquired by Tinubu from Oando Lagos State Government paid to rebuild and renovate, it then purchased it from Tinubu for an undisclosed sum. Subsequently, the State handed the property back to Tinubu under the Pension Bill he signed into law shortly before Tinubu left office in 2
