‘THE WHOLE WORLD, INCLUDING NIGERIA SHOULD IGNORE AMERICA, IF THEY WANT TO LIVE’-Rt. Rev. Isaac Chijioke Nwaobia

(Rt. Rev. Isaac Chijioke Nwaobia) Bishop of Isiala-Ngwa South Diocese, Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion) 
IT’S a very unfortunate incident and a dangerous trend for the world because America is the world power, but it is getting it wrong. On the same day the verdict was delivered in the law court, nine people that were killed at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Zion Church were being buried and President Barack Obama was there singing Amazing Grace. So, it is a betrayal of the water we’ve been drinking over a period from our forefathers. It’s either you believe in the Light and prosper or you believe in the darkness and you destroy your future.

So, the whole world, including Nigeria should ignore America, if they want to live. But if they decide to toe America’s line in this ungodliness, it will be disastrous.

On what the church should do, I think it starts from the home. Our fathers and mothers should be able to give us a guide. From there, it goes to the school, because school age is a formative age. If the church can get involved in school management and children’s upbringing, they will root in them godliness, enabling the children grow up with the fear of the Lord and depart from those iniquities that are besetting America today.
The church should go ahead to teach, discipline and mentor their followers so that at the end of the day, they will have people that can hold on to the truth and nothing but the truth.
I do not want to dwell on the predictions concerning the end time. The world can come to an end tomorrow, as we are walking on the streets. But we have to note that countries that deviated from godly principles had always faced severe consequences. It has always been very catastrophic and they never lived, because when the foundation is collapsing, the whole building will definitely also collapse. And that is what happens to a nation or people that are involved in this kind of thing.

CMS ANNIVERSARY: BISHOP ORJI ADMONISHES CHRISTIANS TO EVANGELIZE THE WOR...

Every member of our Diocese is a missionary in North America because God has called us to salvation and sent us to proclaim his word. This is urgent partly because our culture is no longer Christian, in fact it is openly hostile to the Christian Faith. Our goal is to tell the good news of the atoning death and resurrection of Jesus to our pagan relatives, friends, colleagues and society with gentleness and respect so that they might repent of sin, believe in Christ and be sav ed. That is the mission of our Diocese. This entails sacrifice and shame and suffering. The CMS missionaries suffered and many died to give the gospel to Africa. Let us be willing to suffer to give this gospel to our nations again. We are not here to spread our version or your version of Anglicanism as wonderful as you may think it is. Rather we are here to spread the gospel primarily and hopefully in the process teach a godly expression of Anglicanism. Since we are Anglican missionaries sent by God to evangeliz...
