GAY MARRIAGE IS SATAN’S AGENDA, SAYS BISHOP


The verdict of the Supreme Court of the United States of America on same-sex marriage came under attack from the Bishop of Minna Anglican Diocese, the Rt. Revd. Daniel Yisa yesterday. He said the decision was Satan’s agenda for the end time.

He spoke in Minna, Niger State after the 100 centenary thanksgiving service of the St. Peter’s Anglican Cathedral Church, Minna.
The clergy said: “Gay is not a Biblical or an African practice and if God hates it, we all must hate it.”
Yisa admonished Nigerians not to be carried away by the perverse culture but should strive to hold on to the truth.

He said: “We must know the basic truth of the Bible. As far as we are concerned as Nigerians, same sex-marriage is not our portion. Whoever wants to do that in his country can do that in his free volition but should not necessarily say that the Bible says so.

“The issue is that, as a nation, we keep calling on God without meeting God’s conditions. There are certain things we are not supposed to do and there are also those we are supposed to do if we have to remain His people.

“We, as Christians and members of the Anglican family, God has remained faithful to us and we as humans should do our best to maintain that relationship with God. We cannot continue to wallow in sin and immorality and then claim that He is our God.

“He is a righteous God, if we must serve Him, we must try to keep ourselves righteous as He is so that we can maintain that cordial relationship that He has established from the beginning. We should not claim privileges without responsibilities”.

The Bishop urged leaders to be firm on moral resolutions, adding that same sex marriage would destroy whoever practises it.
“We should be faithful to God, our families and our nation if we want God to heal our land,” he added.

He said the essence of his message, tagged ‘Ebenezer’ was to establish that God “is our helper because He is sustaining us as a nation and has not forsaken us”.

The Most. Rev. Professor Adebayo Dada Akinde is a good example of the truism that God

The spiritual head of the Diocese of Lagos Mainland, Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), the Most. Rev. Professor Adebayo Dada Akinde is a good example of the truism that God invariably has His way in the affairs of men. What God ordains for each of his children ultimately supersedes all human calculations and disposition. In time, each man and woman whom God created for a specific role must succumb to that, willy-nilly. God rules in the affairs of men and those who understand this truism are the happier for it. Bishop Akinde evidently is. For a man who had distinguished himself so eminently in academics, not many had imagined for him a full time commitment to the service of God. If anyone had told him some 35 years ago that he would some day be the pioneer bishop of the Diocese of Lagos Mainland, he would probably have dismissed it as an empty joke. Having pioneered many projects in the academia, he thought he had had enough of pioneering work. Born in Kaduna, northwest of N...
