While we solidly believe the scripture that says that money answered all things, we also believe the scripture that says “the love of money is the root of all evil” we know that money is used in the building of our church, used in the purchases of our cars, used in the purchases of our clothes, address system, in our gospel equipment, used in the purchases of the facilities and use in the purchase of our clothes, needs and our foods, still we also believe that money should not be the theme of our gospel, neither should money be focused in the ministry. Money should not be the cause of establishing ministries, neither be the cause of preaching neither should the church be seen as money making organization; Based on these we have the following points to make on money.
- We need money but, money should not be the purpose of our gospel and ministry establishment.
- The blessings of God do not only center on money neither on how much does one have in the bank.
- Church members should not be deceived with the gospel of money while souls are Pershing.
- Relationship between man and God should not be weighed on the amount of money gained.
- Money can be acquired diabolically, trickily and falsely, but salvation, can not be acquired falsely, diabolically, nor trickily.
- Based on these, we stick at preaching and teaching on salvation which money can not buy and which is not sold.
- Jesus did not come to make every one get the money, neither did JESUS die to make every man’s pocket full of money, but He died that all should be saved.
- Jesus, Peter, Paul and all Apostles, did not gather people to hear secrets of getting money, but they gathered people to teach them way of salvation and word of life.
- The present social and money sermons at the pulpit are fleshly motivated sermons and never the true gospel and not what Jesus taught us to tell others and the entire world of sinners.
- Based on the issues above, we believe that man may be saved and go to heaven without money but no body can go to heaven without repentance and without salvation. We also believe that money is good, we need it, and demand it, but it shall never be the theme of our sermons when souls are perishing people should be led to Christ and to help them be faithful unto our God, because obedience, righteousness and faithfulness are keys to prosperity therefore, those who want to get money should be made to be faithful, obedient and righteous Deut 28:1-14 Ps 1:1-6 Mtt 6:33. Money is not evil but God first. Our attitude towards money is that people should be taught about repentance and godliness first, which shall lead them to discover God’s will about money.

THE MINISTER AND THE MINISTRY
We believe that God still calls man to preach. The calling of the minister is such a serious and a holy responsibility that none should ever enter into without a sure and clear knowledge of a divine call. When a man or woman is thus called, the church should recognize such call by its endorsement and should endeavor to help open the way into the ministry.
The progress and spirituality of the church depend largely if not wholly, on the spirituality, the character and the example of its ministers.
A minister of the gospel in the Redemption campaigners mission must know that his sins have been forgiven, that he has been regenerated by our Lord Jesus Christ, and that he is sanctified wholly as a second definite work of grace wrought by the baptism of the Holy Ghost. He must have burden and passion for lost souls and a deep sense of appreciation for Christian ethics and must kindly but firmly enforce the General and special rules of the church, he must be a man of prayer and constantly seek to build up the saints in their most holy faith.

MISSION FOCUS OF THE CHURCH
The missionary and ministry focus of the Redemption Campaigners Mission are many but few of them are show cased in this article. What we mean here are the task we has not fail to accomplish the ones we are already doing in future budget of the church, which must be tackled in no distant time or which already in focus. Below are some of the mission and ministry focus of Redemption Campaigners Mission (Emancipation Proclaimers Mission) Nigeria
EVERY MEMBER, A MINISTER
Every member of our church is a minister, both male and female. Our members are trained ministerially to convert souls, preach the gospel, plant churches, and teach convert, lead congregations and do God’s work as lay ministers. They are not called as Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, and Pastors nor as teachers, but that are all called as soul winners and church planter and these works of soul winning and church planting must all our members be involve ministerially.
SOUL WINNING, A BUSINESS
Our lay members have no other serious business, not any higher recommended ecclesiastical work that soul winning, therefore, the business of soul winning shall occupy the hearts and thoughts of our members every day. Soul winning and evangelism related activities shall be the greatest burden, greatest vision, greatest activity and the greatest achievement of our lay members every day. We are soul winning and evangelistic church in Nigeria.
CHURCH BUILDING AS A TASK
Building the spiritual and the structural church is a task to our members. We are out to build one another with prayers, advice, help, and physical supports and with scriptural directives. We are also called to build the body of Christ and the house of God, therefore, believers in our church shall have it as their task and responsibility to build the church house, (the temple of God). Building the literal church of God demands all supports, prayers, Giving, donation and labors. The building of literal (human) and structural church of God is a task to every member of our church.
UNITY, AS A PRINCIPLE
Unity is a principle that can not be broken in our church. Redemption campaigners mission is a family and all persons in a family belong to one linage. We are called to be united in faith, in faithfulness, in soul winning, in baptism, in labour, in God’s business, in idea, in confession, in experience, in conviction, in contribution, and in all contributable supports. To care, to visit, comfort and help each other when in need, in sickness, bereavement or when in one crisis or the other shall be the inbuilt duties of the members of our church. Let us care for one another, we are one in Christ.
CHURCH GROWTH, A MUST
The numerical geographical and spiritual growths or Redemption Campaigners Mission are burdens and shall continue to be unceasing burdens in the hearts and spirits of all members of this church. Members and ministers shall work, support, deal and emphasize on things that shall generate growths in the church. The church has done nothing great in the church growth. There is no testimony of sinners. The greatest work of the church is evangelism, while the greatest achievement of the church is nothing but the growth. The members shall support all issues that shall lead to growth and all shall help to make the church grow as well.
SUPPORT AS DIVINE MANDATE
We are called to support our church, support our ministers and to support our brethren. Any time spent on support is not a waste and money or materials spent on support are not loss. We are called to support on another, support the pastor and to support our church to survive. We shall support our pastor in his kingdom expansion. Supporting the pastor and supporting God’s works are parts of our calling us Christians. Our support to God’s work are parts of our sowing and stand as parts of our race on earth. God always encourages us to support Gods business around. We are called to support Gods work, therefore, let’s see the works as ours, and support all with faith.
THE POWER AND PRESENCE OF GOD IN OUR CHURCH AND MINISTRY
As a holiness church we believe that miracles, signs and wonders are some of the evidences of the power and presence of God in the church of God. We also believe that there are fake and false miracles to day that are performed by the fake and false ministers today who are the astrologers at the pulpit, the occult ministers at the altar, the sorcerers and all magicians at the churches whose duties are to deceiver, to dupe and to cheat the congregations, still, these can not make the works of God ineffective, because the presence of pharaoh’s magicians did not stop Moses miracles, nor did the sorcerers in the New Testament stop the Apostles from performing miracles. The devils activities should not stop the genuine movements of God that are designed to save souls and deliver the oppressed. We believe that holiness, faithfulness, prayerfulness and faith draw God’s miracles to the church especially, when the church is in and for the work of soul winning. “Go into the world and preach the gospel”. These signs shall follow them that believe Mtt 16:15-18 “Go, teach, preach, make converts and heal the sick and cast out the devils Lk 9:1-5, Lk 10:1-10, We also believe that signs and wonders are among the follow up of the holiness ministries as almost holy men and women in the Bible exhibited miracles in the greater levels. Moses, Joshua, Gideon, Samson, Samuel, Isaiah, Elijah, Elisha, Peter, Paul and other apostles performed different miracles along with their salvation and holiness emphasis. We believe that holiness is not anti – miracles, neither is miracle anti – holiness at all. We also that the greatest miracle in the church today is “the salvation of sinners” while the greatest miracle in the Bible is the “Resurrection of Christ” followed by the “salvation of sinners”. Based on these, we also show case signs and wonders and miracles that reveal the power and presence of God in our fellowships, ministries and in our church. Below are some of the miracles that follow our ministries according to JESUS’ Instruction?
SINNERS SAVED
One of the greatest evidences of God’s power and presence in our ministries is the repentance of notable sinners, conversion of helpless sinners or salvation of the chronic sinners in our church. The penitence of the former hater and rejected of the gospel is a great sign. The harlots, armed robbers, dupes, murders, witch doctors, occult men and women, charmers, thieves, drunkards and people with notable evidences sinfulness who are now believers in Christ reveal the presence and power of God to be real today.
BELIEVERS SANCTIFIED
Another important area of the evidence of Gods power is the uprooting of the inbred sin in the heart of man. Believer’s entire sanctification as the second work of grace is another area of Gods power and presence which should be seen as a great miracle of God in the heart of the believer. It is a wonderful miracle for Mr. proud to be changed to brother meek, hater to lover, anger to joy, and lust to purity, while Mr. Weakness in now brother strenght. What a wonder miracle of heart purity and entire sanctification?
BACKSLIDDERS RESTORED
It is very wonderful to see the backsliders who had ran into apostate in the deepest state of hating Christianity hating Bible and all that preach the gospel now coming back to God. One of the true evidences of Gods power and God’s presence is the restoration of former Christians who later joined occult world, fetish religions and who bitterly turned their back against the gospel who were ready to kill any one that shall mention “CHRIST” at their presence. The greatest power of God, later arrested and restore many of these man and woman who now are Christians.
THE WEAK STRENGTHENED
Among the miracles in our church, is the strengthening of the weak. The church comers who were very weak because of stress, fear, crisis, doubt, unbelief, grief, tension, prayerlessness, poverty, hardship and their condition are now strong and become giants in the Lord due to their fellowship and association with us, coupled with our teachings, preachings and prayers that go with our power and the presence of God. Our great God is still at work and miracles are still occurring.
THE HYPOCRITES CONVERTED AND SURRENDERED
Many notable hypocrites who pretended to belong to some churches, while they were occult people, members of secret cults, members of evil society, initiators of evil masquerades in their villages the heads of their ancestral cults and cultures, secret dupes, secret harlots, motivators of armed robbery and leaders of some riots who came across our teachings are now born again believers irrespective of how many years they have been in some churches under “Deceit”. Their conversion stood as out standing miracles of God in their lives and in our church.
THE POOR HEARD THE GOSPEL
One of the greatest miracles of our days is taken the gospel to the poor and helping the poor receive the gospel. Many gospel ministers nowadays ran to urban cities with flattery tongues searching for the rich men and women to whom they shall prophesy inorder to get their money, but the poor, the helpless, the less privileged and the uneducated poor farmers in the villages and the poor dwellers in motor- less (unmemorable) areas are dying daily without hearing the true gospel, why? Because they are neglected by the preachers. God has been helping us to have such classes of people in our programmes; today, the poor, the less privileged, poor uneducated farmers and the forgotten inhabitants of the unmotorable heard the gospel and are saved. This is a great miracle of our time.
HOPE RESTORED TO HOPELESS PEOPLE
A forgotten miracle in our days it to restore hop to hopeless people in our society. There are millions of hopeless people in our days. These are those who think their sins are too much that God can not forgive them, that their problems are too much that God can not solve them, that they are no educated therefore can achieve nothing that they have no helper on earth, that they are not up to standard, therefore can achieve nothing, that death is better than living hence they have nothing, that they are not worthy to live because they have no money, that all hate them, that they too poor and inferior, that the church is built for rich people, that every hope is lost because they can’t make it in life. This is a dangerous situation that demands miracles and God’s power. If these people are neglected they shall end up in hellfire, in poverty, in foolishness, in madness or drunkenness or in taking the hard drugs. They are in direct converts of the church because they are prone to conversion. Today many of these men and women are members and workers with us in God’s business. This is a great miracle of God that reveals his presence with us.
CONFUSED PERSONS BROUGHT BACK TO THEIR SENSES
A daily desired miracle in our days is the proper restoration of the senses, reasoning’s and ideas of the confuse persons. Medicines can not do this Job, but God alone. It is now very necessary to know who are the confused person? Confused person are the deranged persons disordered, the wanderers, the troubled, the miscalculated, the missed or the one whose senses ran out of control due to one current issue or the past. Most of the confused people today are mad, dead, missed, sick or physically paralyzed due to such confused state that today, many confused people are saved, sanctified and are working and serving the Lord with us in the vine yard of the Lord. This is a great miracle of our day to show that God is still in control.

BROKEN FAMILIES RE – UNITED
Some of the greatest miracles that occurred in the ministries of Rev Prof Emma Ononuju are the restoration the broken relationships in the families, re – uniting divorced couples, bringing separated couples together and the healing of demon deceived marriages. Rev. Prof Emma is seriously engaged in this ministry of family relationship in Nigeria, in Cameroon, in some parts of West Africa and in USA. God has been using him and the ministry of Redemption Campaigners mission to heal and to restore broken homes and scattered families. This is a great miracle of God in our days. The testimonies of these abound, - see Testimonies many families hold our church and our general oversee on higher esteem due to his ministry of restoration of broken families.
ANCESTRAL BONDAGES BROKEN
As Africans with continuous ancestral link, couple with ancestral deities, ancestral laws and ancestral bondages, many people after their repentance were still tied with their ancestral power ancestral laws and ancestral inheritances resulting to weaknesses, sicknesses, fruitlessness, failures and other demonic influences as a result of their continuous relationships with their fathers deities. We thank God that His power broke such ties and relationship with evil gods and set the former victims free after their confession and total rejection of such evil connection. Today such former victims are worshipping God in Joy, in miracles and in divine prosperity. Praise God.
FAMILY COVENANTS CANCELLED
As it is very common with the Africans, that almost every family Africa is covenanted with the family deities some deities which hard ruled such families for over 800 – 2000 years before Christianity came to African, Based on this truth, such deities do not need partial treatment to drive them out by the converted Africans after their salvation. These gods have brought untold hardships failures, death, accidents and sorrows to the Africans and therefore deserve nothing than to cancel such covenants and to drive them out of such families and to set the penitent free. Today many African people with family covenants are free, while such covenants broken and cancelled. These good people of God are today enjoying their Christianity and fellowship with us in Redemption campaigners Mission. Praise God.
CURSES BROKEN
The power of God is wonderful to break curse inherited from the land, the ones from practical sins, rebellions and disobedience to God’s worlds. Curses often manifest in pains, sorrowful events death, sufferings disappointments,
dis – favor and facing where others succeed. These experiences have clouded and crowded many people before the Lord met them. Today we have many of them in our church with joy and love worshipping God with us after this curses were broken, while peace and joy are restored. Their curses are broken, their evil experiences gone.
THE BLIND SEE
The ministries of Redemption Campaigners Mission and that of Rev Prof Emma Onounju are followed with miracles and signs and wonders, coupled with the opening the eye of the blind and making the blind to see. Many former blind people can testify what the Lord did in their lives and eyes through the ministry of the Holy Ghost in this church and by Prof Emma Ononuju. God is still healing the blind today.
THE LAME WALK
The lane and cripple have received miracle and wondrous healings that affected their legs and movements. The lane worked the cripples jumped and paralytic ran, all to the glory of God. God has been using Rev Pro Emma Ononuju, our church and our ministries to make the lane, the cripple and the paralytic not only to walk but also to run and move faster. These types of miracles are still taking place in our church.
THE SICK HEALED
The healing of the sick and people with different diseases is common and frequent in our church and in the ministry of Rev Pro Emma Ononuju. We preach healing and different kinds of healing have taking place I our church and are still taking place in our church today. The sick and all with different illness, diseases and all with health challenges have received their healing freedom today and are freely worshipping with us today.
THE MAD HEALED
Those with proven psychiatric cases and those with known case of madness have been healed and delivered who are now with their right senses, discussing with friends and relations in their normal abilities and with their normal minds and with their God giving reasoning. Today we have many former victims of madness who are now teachers and preachers among us. You can verify their total healing by coming to us. Our God is still healing men and women.
DEMON POSSESSED LOOSED
Demon possessed people, especially ladies and others have regained their freedom from our LORD JESUS CHRIST through our church ministries and through the ministries of Rev. Prof Emma Ononuju, our General over seer. Demon possessed people experience dangerous and harmful activities of the demons in their dreams and in their daily social activities resulting to sleeplessness, restlessness, peacelessness and harmful or hostile activities.
DEMON OPPRESSED PEOPLE DELIVERED
Demon oppressed people whose senses were changed and chained by demons, who were not mad but acted and behaved like mad people, who were tormented often by Satan and who cases have gone beyond boundaries, and who were sleeping in the bushes, forests or out side human environments are delivered, loosed, healed and totally free, whom among are some choristers, church workers and good followers of Christ the power of God touched them through the ministries of our church and those of Rev prof Emma Ononuju. These people today are happy worshippers.
BARREN WOMEN BECAME MOTHERS
Women in the societies and in fetish communities who were known for their barreness, which were attributed to the activities of their deities who have lived long with their husbands but without any pregnancy who now become mothers. Some have married for five years, seven years, thirteen years, fifteen years even with few that have married for over seventeen years without any children are now mothers to children. Some are mothers to two, three, four, five and mothers of six after God’s is touch through our prayers and through the ministry of our over seer.
DEAD RAISED
Our church and the ministries of our General overseer, Rev Prof Emma Ononuju have recorded series of raising of the dead. There are many witnesses, testimonies, eye witnesses, reports and records of raising the dead in our church whose deaths were confirmed before the Lord brought them back to life as a result of our prayers and as a result of those of Rev. Prof Emma Ononuju. Some of these former victims of death are today closer to us and worshipping God in Truth and in spirit. If you have any doubt on these please, call +2348056614554.
EVIL DREAMS CEASED
As miracles shall not cease, so shall the works of God not stop. There were many people with evil dreams, who were associated and initiated in their dreams and become connected with the queen of the coast, with python with the queen of heaven, who were seeing themselves in the grave, in ocean, in prison, chained and those who changed to animals in their dreams, coupled with sleeplessness, peacelessness, restlessness, fear and other bad experience as a result of their evil dreams. These people were under the bondage of the demons through dreams, but today these people are free, loosed and delivered, while the evil dreams ceases as a result of our ministries who are today worshipping God in their total love.
LONG SPINSTERHOOD GONE
Long spinsterhood are caused by many things in Africa, but few of these shall be mentioned which include demonic marriage, childhood initiations, family covenants, curses, ancestral bondages, demonic slavery, sin mermaid relationship and others. Many spinsters who came to our church and those who came across our father, Rev Prof Emma Ononuju in prayers have received their deliverance and the benefits of that was their marriage. These former victims of long spinsterhood are now wives and mothers and are worshipping God with joy and freedom.
DEMON INITIATED PERSON FREED
These are many people that wee initiated y demons. Some of these people were initiated as infants by their parents, some joined occult groups others were initiated into village gods, fetish deities and into community deities with demonic names, marks and demonic laws which in some cases result to madness, poverty, life crisis, death, senselessness or any other unfortunate event to the victim. Many of these former victims of the demons who came across us are freed, loosed and delivered, while faith and faithfulness began inorder to worship God without fear and without doubt.
POVERTY GONE
Most of the poverty which the African experience today came from their family background demonic attacks sin, curses and evil covenants in the family. People of such cases end up in poverty, begging and in crises. We thank God that many of these people who came to the Lord are today enjoying the peace of God, blessing of God, miracles of God and the prosperity from God while their poverty gone. We have many of them as God used our ministry to loose them. Poverty can go when God is leading while blessings of God reigns when obedience leads Deut 28:1-14, Deut 11:26-28.
IMPOTENCY GONE
Impotency can be caused by infections, low sperm count, no sperm count or weak sperm among men. It can also be caused by demons, evil covenants, evil relationship, and oath binding cult, curses and sea or dream marriage. Most of the Africans face the demonic causes of it than the medical causes of impotency in men. Many victims or fruitlessness, impotency and childlessness have received healing, deliverance and freedom while their impotency gone. Their wives are now with babies while they become fathers of children worshipping God with us in love and in truth, all to the glory of God.
LONG BACHELORHOOD GONE
Long bachelorhood is caused by many things which include foolishness, senseless, demonic power, occult powers, family inheritance, curses from the family, demonic and dream marriages, sins, charms and drunkenness. Those former victims of long bachelorhood who have lived above forty, fifty and sixty years without wives, are now husbands and fathers after our prayers and deliverance conducted on their behalf. The powers that chained them were broken and their eyes opened, while their senses returned today, some of them are church workers and leaders.
FREQUENT LOSSES CEASED
There are many people who are prone to demonic invasion into their live and families some of these people can not keep money or properties in their houses or else where without losing or missing that. These types of losses became too common and too frequent to such people because they are caused by demons. Such losses rendered the victims poor because it was demons that stole their money. I thank God, that the conversion of such people in our church brought the case to an end. Today such losses and frequent missing of their moneys and properties has stopped, while they worship God without fear and without doubt.
PROMOTION RECEIVED
Poverty and hindrances to promotions in most cases especially on the Africans can cone to people due to laziness, foolishness, bad management, demonic affliction, ancestral curses, ancestral covenants occult powers, demonic depressions, demonic affliction, demonic hindrances or blockages. The gospel of life broke into the hearts of those whose promotions were hindered by demons, and set those promotions and rained blessings and promotions to them and promoted them to the expected level. Today, the former victims of stangnant positions are promoted, while joy of the Lord assumed.
DEMONS BOUND PERSONS LOOSED
Our society is full of demon bound individuals, especially the Africans. These demon bound persons are full of anger strife hatred and bitterness always. They are prone to kill to fight, to cut with knives, to shoot guns on people, to attack and very prone to destroy lives and properties. They do not reason like persons but always reason harmful like animals. The LORD arrested and conquer many of these individuals who visited our church and they surrendered and were loosed from the bounds and grips of the demons. Today some of these former beasts – like – people are saved and worshipping God with us in boldness and holiness.
HIV POSITIVE HEALED
This is a great testimony to share that, many people who stepped into this church as both sinners and as HIV positive are today saved from their sins and healed from their HIV positive, what a wonderful love of God? The former HIV positive people are today worshipping God without fear and without shame, because they are today healed physically and spiritually – wholesomeness from Christ. If you have doubt on this call +2348139088958 or +234 8056614554 or write to eltheco@hotmail.com
DEMON AFFLICTED PERSONS SET FREE
Like in the days of JOB, there are many people who are afflicted by the devil today, whose sickness resist all forms of medical treatments because Satan is in charge. Today such individuals are free by their simple faith in Christ through the preaching and prayers from the holy altar. Today the former victims or the devil are set free, who are today worshipping God in truth and in good health.
EPILEPSY GONE
Many people with epileptic sicknesses, psychiatric cases and nervous oriented sicknesses have been healed, delivered and saved by their simple faith at the finished works at Calvary faith in the gospel preaching’s and their solid faith in the sincere prayers from the altar of God. Today such cases are gone while shame and inferiority complex departed. These people are today, rejoicing and worshipping God in love, obedience and in productivities.
OCCULT GRAND MASTERS LOOSED
The occult grand masters, leaders of wizardrous groups, leaders of demonic altars, magicians astrologers, occult priests and leaders surrendered to Christ. The testimonies abound about the salvation, the healing and total deliverance of the former occult leaders and founders who later found Christ and surrendered to His Lordship whose lives were transformed and who are now worshipping God with us with all seriousness, love and sincerity. We praise God for their lives and for their faith – praise God ---------
HARDSHIP AND FREQUENT DISAPPOINTMENT GONE
Marriage disappointments, business disappointments, blockages, opportunity failures, crisis, hardships, dis – favours and sad stories from where others jubilated have departed from the families and homes of the former victims, who have suffered much on such cased caused by the demons and familiar spirits. We had hundreds, failures, whose stories were full of hardships of new converts disappointments, crisis, wars, troubles, and peacelessness and painful stories whose courses and cases have change and today become the evangelists of good news and God’s favour to all because of their obedience to God and simple faith in the holiness prayers made at the altar of God.
DEAF HEALED
We can remember some deaf who could not hear a word before they met the Lord who are today teachers and preachers of the gospel. The most outstanding one whose name I will be pleased to mention here by his permission is brother udofia who was dumb and deaf in whose life the LORD performed such miracle who today is a Bible teacher and chorus leader. Hundreds of deaf people have received their miracles as a result of their faith and obedience of the word of God coupled with their whole hearted reception of the prayers of the man of God, Rev Prof Emma Ononuju.
DUMB HEALED
The Bible says “These signs shall follow them that believe” the healing and the deliverance of dumbs are among the notable signs and wonders desired today. Our church and our ministries have witnessed the miraculous deliverance of the dumb people in this church. We shall not fail to cite an example of Brother Samuel Odofia who was deaf and dumb among many others that were healed. We obtained his permission to use his name, thus, we put only his name among others. The testimonies abound on the hundreds of dumb people who were healed due to their simple faith in the finished works at Calvary and in the sinless prayers from the holy altar of God, Today dumbness has gone – praise God.
WITCH DOCTORS REPENTED
The stories of witch doctors who in their different areas fought the church and harmed some new converts are very interesting, notable among them was one Ema Akparu whose major hatred, attacks and target was the church and believers in Christ. It is amazing stories to hear that in his pursuit to lay a curse on the church and to drop dangerous poison (charm) at the gate of the church while Rev, Prof Emma Ononuju was preaching on Sunday service, the sermon captivated him and the statement that caught his ear and heart was “And Saul become blind on his attack to the church” this statement drew his attention to listen the rest of the 60munites sermon with a topic “DO NOT KICK AGAINST THE PRICKS” Act 9:5.
Having heart all these sermons in a secret place, near the church, he melted, became afraid, troubled and searched for a helper, which made him to drop his charms, repented and desired God’s forgiveness. A 70 year old man wept like babies due to the in gradients of such sermon. This brought him to real repentance and he denounced his gods, his charms, power and his fetish deities. God is still powerful and great.
JUJU PRIEST SURRENDERED
African Juju priests are those in-charge of deities, in-charge of community or village gods, or those in-charge of tribal religions with the collective will of all the adherents of such deities. God in His powerful movements has arrested many of these juju priests, religious heads and demon representatives who dropped their gods, their bags and their religious tittles to follow Christ. We have many people of these categories today in our church who because of the power of the gospel denounced their deities and followed Christ. Today, some of these former juju priests are church workers, Sunday school teachers and leaders of different arms in our church. God is still powerful.
