Introduction 

Wither The Nigerian Church?

This is a prophetic action book on the Nigerian Church and how it impacts the nations of the world. This particular series covers the period between 1993 to end 2016, cutting across the length and breadth of Nigeria. The searchlight touches on Churchs, Politicians, Government, ethnic groups, Islam, Boko Haram ravaging the country, corruption and occult influence and control over the territory of Nigeria. It gives vivid account of the happening here in the nation of Nigeria and how it will impact events from around the world prophetically including United States of America, Great Britain, Asia and other parts of Africa as the days dawn.

One of my spiritual sons made a remark the other day that highlighted the agonies in God’s heart about the current climate of the Nigerian Church. He said The world is better than the Church. He works as an administrative staff in a church and had seen the ways of the clergy in his place of work. A few days later, I was discussing about the prayer pattern of the Nigerian church with a young pastor friend of mine. I told him that God is not happy with it because it negates His desire for the body of Christ in the nation. The pastor said Any pastor who does not lead prayers in that pattern will have very few or no members in his church.

It was revealed to me on 20th October 1994, while praying in England that God wants to use Nigeria in the nations in this End-time before Jesus comes. Prior to this, in 1993, God had led me to scatter physically a church in North-central zone of Nigeria and to tell the occultic pastor that he would lose everything he was doing and end up in hell. He later sent someone to thank me for what I did. As a follow up to the revelation I received in 1994, God led me in 2001 to go to Lokoja to pray for Nigeria at the confluence of the two rivers that traverses the country.

It was while praying in room 12 at Confluence Motel Adankolo junction in Lokoja that He gave me the second name of the ministry The Jury Ministry and He told me to use it to kill and destroy what He has not allowed in the church and the nations. Jer.1:10. Between that 2001 and 2006, I have been led by God to go to various areas of the country to intercede and deliver His messages to various groups in the country to let them know their roles in God’s End-time assignment and prepare themselves to go ahead to perform them.

I have been led to Ogoni land-representing our resource base, Tiv land-representing militancy, Ijebu land-representing economic control and syncretism in the church and Igbo land- representing Nigerians’ penchant for travelling and the worship of mammon. I have been led to write Spiritual profiles of some countries of various continents of the world. Europe, Middle East, Asia and North-America. I have also done a zone by zone Spiritual profile of Nigeria and also written some Newsletters under a general caption-‘His Word for Now’ in which I highlighted areas where true Christians should check their spiritual standing and their preparedness to carry the gospel to the nations starting from our environment.

I discovered over the years I have been writing these materials and through God’s revelations to me in place of intercession, that a large percentage of our so called Christians even in the so called Christian South and Middle belt areas of Nigeria are mere church goers. This therefore means that there few Christians available for local evangelism and fewer still for world missions. Meanwhile, Islam seem to be getting stronger and Christians have started equipping themselves with carnal weapons to fight it. Christians in some parts of the North have been advised to carry guns and knives to church any time they are going to church.

The Nigerian church appears to have lost the spiritual strength to deal with Islam. On Jan.7,2010 I saw in the Spirit a woman who the Holy spirit told me represent the Nigerian church. She was totally bound with iron rod twisted around her in such a way she could not move her arms to do anything. The Holy Spirit told me she depicts the Nigerian church bound by mammon and too helpless to deal with Islam and all the afflictions of the nation. Earlier, God had revealed to me that the Nigerian church the way she is, cannot prevent the taking over of the nation by Islam. That indeed, if care is not taken, a South-western state will become the headquarters of Islam in the next 15 years, because they have begun to indoctrinate young educated muslims on what to do.

That if the church does not repent of what she is doing now, what happened to the church in North Africa some centuries ago where Islam swept Christianity away could happen in Nigeria since we are already doing what they were doing at that time. Also, over the past few years, after I laid hold of the prophecy God spoke through late Pa Elton- the English missionary who served, and mentored many servants of God in Nigeria and who died and was buried here- gave concerning the Tiv nation sometimes in the 1970s that God was going to use them to evangelise the people of the far north and prevent the onslaught of Islam across the southern parts of Nigeria, I had reminded the Tiv at various meetings that what they have refused to take over will overtake them.

However, instead of answering that call, the Tiv church and the church of many states in the North including Plateau have been acquiring carnal weapons to deal with Islam. The church in many of these areas advise their congregation to carry around with them even in the church guns, knives etc. to protect themselves against Islamist jihadists. I told them it will not work and it hasn’t because the Muslims are now destroying churches with bombs which is quite superior to their guns and knives. What is happening in the north is a picture of what may happen to the whole country if the Nigerian church does not rise up from her worship of mammon and answer the call of God to pray for and evangelise the north and southern enclave of Islam in Nigeria.

After the bomb blast at Abuja on the 26th of August,2011 which God had revealed to me would happen even before the 1st October, 2010 blast and I got worried about all these happenings, God said to me that nobody will listen to me until He deals with the mammonic bondage in the church. That that rod I saw binding the church cannot be cut off except by fire of affliction.

God’s concern about the above mentioned issues caused Him to ask me in September 2006 to go and build a prayer tower in Abuja, the capital of Nigeria. I thought my assignment was to pray about the political and economic situation of the country. However, as soon as I started to pray on such issues, God stopped me and ordered me to zero in on the Nigerian church. He revealed to me that the major problem of the nation is caused by the church.

That the terrain of Abuja is filled with churches He has not ordained to be there. That because most of the churches are there for their own purpose- to gather as much money as possible and many members especially those in control of Nigeria’s resources, they are not interested in preaching the correct messages and they have encumbered the whole of Abuja terrain. Those He has indeed called have no room to operate and many of this latter group of ministers/ministries have given up and some have succumbed to the terribleness that is happening in the city.

In fact, He showed to me a minister rising up from sleep and stretching himself. This minister had a rusting bunch of keys hanging on his waist belt. He had given up and the keys representing his God given vision had become rusted for lack of use. Due to the mess that seem to envelope the Nigerian church, God has led me as mentioned above to write various News letters to cause Nigerians to know whether they are true Christians or not. The letters were in form of questions. Some of the questions asked were- Are you in Christ or just in Church? Whose Church is it? Is your Church sliding into apostacy? How far are you willing to go for the sake of the Kingdom of God? How hot is your spiritual environment? How effective is your prayer life? Are you being guided by the word of God?

On the 4th of June 2011, God revealed to me that I need to start a series called Searchlight to examine and expose what is happening in the Nigerian church as He had revealed to me in visions, dreams and my interactions with believers and other ministers of God in their writings and my personal discussions with them. The main purpose of these series is to expose what is happening in the Nigerian church that is causing it to gradually slide into apostacy and becoming neglectful of evangelism at home and missions to the nations. That I need to do this so that we will not be under the same kind of judgement God asked me to go and declare on the United Kingdom between August 2010 and April 2011-a country whose nationals brought the gospel to us and many other nations of the world. Many of them suffered martyrdom in the course of preaching the gospel but whose descendants have now largely turned away from God and are now rushing to hell because of apostacy-unbelief,atheism, homosexuality, dependence on their wisdom and knowledge and giving preeminence to what they call ecumenism –(all religions are the same).That I need to highlight step by step how not to fall into this same trap of the devil if care is not taken.

In the year 2000, my old mother dreamt and saw hundreds of church signboards being pulled down. She puzzled over this vision for several days. Then God showed her in another dream the leadership of the church dressed like masquerades. When she shared this dream with me , I told her that her second dream explains the first dream.-Many church leaders are not true leaders and their ministries are going to be pulled down by God Himself. Incidentally, in 2007, God showed some pastors the same vision about the church that He had shown my mother in 2000. On Nov.9. 2007, I dreamt I was reading a letter in a Ministry’s Newsletter where a mother was saying something about her son.

The summary of what she said was that her son is a pastor who preaches good messages. However, the fact that this her son who is not married but has impregnated a girl is of no consequence. The most important thing is that he preaches good messages. I believe this dream paints a full picture of what is happening in the church today. Nobody cares about our lifestyle so long as we preach good messages. Also on Dec.12, 2007, God showed me several people including myself in a cage and we were being preached to by a pastor standing outside the cage. The Holy Spirit ministered to me that the cage represents materialism and mammon.

That Christians were being caged by their leaders through the instrumentality of mammon and are not being released into their prophetic destinies because church leaders do not want to lose the money they are bringing into the church. That some even resort to giving false prophetic messages to their congregation and in the most terrible extreme resort to using occultic powers to draw people and money into their ministries. I was watching a television ministration of a particular ministry somewhere in Nigeria. As I was marveling at the testimonies being given by the people and the pastors, the Holy Spirit said to me Do not praise the anointing of the unanointed. I stayed in a hotel somewhere in Abuja. A so called prophet of God will do night vigil which many will attend. The following morning many, mostly women will line up to see this prophet after paying about 500 naira each to receive personal prophecies. I prayed about it and God revealed to me he was using water spirit.

The most worrisome aspects of what is happening in the body of Christ as God revealed to me is
