Behold Our Bishop

By Alex Ndukwe

The book is an X-ray of the spiritual defect in the church today, particularly the cancerous state of the pulpit and the urgently needed remedy prescribed.
Revelations shared about the pitfalls on the highway the minister travels, in the pursuit of his ministry, clearly and practically identified. The writer strongly contends that the minister and his ministry are inseparable. The failure of the minister is the failure of the ministry.
The book points out that successful ministry is possible and obtainable by following Gods principle for the work of ministry.

I have being greatly imparted by reading through the pages of this book. This is a material all ministers must read to review their lives and ministry. I thank God for the author.

The mission of God to the church is to raise the disciples and not millionaire. The warning of apostle Peter should be taken into consideration that the judgement of the Lord will start from the house of the lord. (1Peter 4:17-18)

The church leaders should not forget that man’s life consisted not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth (Luke 12;15) and stop preaching prosperity alone but salvation of the lost souls

The quest for church growth without spiritual shepherd that will pastor those newly planted churches will lead to the production of lukewarm Christians which will spue out of the lord’s mouth(Rev.3;16)
