SPEAKING SOLEMNLY
Anyone living in sexual sins (fornication, adultery, pornography, etc), has no place in Christian ministry. Immorality is a very big deal, scripturally. The believer's BODY is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Yes, the BODY. Therefore, what you do with God's dwelling place must be of colossal significance. Don't you see it?
And, because of the sacredness of Christian ministry, while you can legitimately be a struggling Believer for a season, you cannot be a struggling minister, if the struggle is that you have not overcome sexual immorality. In this regard, the category of a struggling minister does not exist, biblically considered.
This is not about being a "wounded soldier." But in any case, if a soldier takes a bullet during combat, we don't hand him over to the enemies, yes. And we also don't leave him in the frontline to continue fighting – with his wound. We take him out and away for treatment. Whether he can even return to active duty later on depends on the severity/impact of the 'wound' sustained and the assessment of the team managing his case. Taking him out of combat is a responsible act of love and not a case of "condemning our own."
Back from the digression. It is alien to the spirit of Christ, to say someone is a minister of the gospel, even though he commits immorality. The practice of immorality cannot coexist with legitimate practice of ministry. A fornicator or an adulterer is not a Minister. Cannot be.
A minister of the gospel MUST be above reproach. People MUST be safe under his care. Money, too, MUST be safe under his care. The bible insists that he sustains a high level of integrity – morally, ethically, socially.
This is why the Charismata, the gifts of the Spirit are never mentioned as qualification or eligibility for ministry. Check the texts.
So, the practice of equating giftedness with eligibility for ministry is unbiblical and should be discouraged. Being a gifted speaker, for instance, does not qualify anyone for Christian ministry. If you know all the Rhema in the book, and all the historic fine points of orthodoxy, but you're an intermittent fornicator/adulterer, you are ineligible for Christian Ministry. You need to be discipled, you should not be discipling anyone, at all.
Read the passage below carefully, to the very last verse, please: It says a Pastor:
"...must be a good man whose life cannot be spoken against. He must have only one wife, and he must be hard working and thoughtful, orderly, and full of good deeds. He must enjoy having guests in his home and must be a good Bible teacher. He must not be a drinker or quarrelsome, but he must be gentle and kind and not be one who loves money. He must have a well-behaved family, with children who obey quickly and quietly. For if a man can’t make his own little family behave, how can he help the whole church? The pastor must not be a new Christian because he might be proud of being chosen so soon, and pride comes before a fall. (Satan’s downfall is an example.) Also, he must be well spoken of by people outside the church—those who aren’t Christians—so that Satan can’t trap him with many accusations and leave him without freedom to lead his flock"
On the last point above, many people who work in Hotels don't take the church seriously because the see the behind-the-scenes lifestyle of Pastors. A minister must have one life, must be not be two-faced. And he must be an example to both insiders and outsiders.
If the church is weak, Satan is only a remote cause. If the church is weak anywhere, the church is the reason why.
And now, may the glorious Lord of the church step into this seeming perpetual desolation, and pour us the blessing that is Revival.

Sex is for marriage.
Marriage is between one man and one woman.
Abortion is murder.
Pornography is evil and should be banned.
None of these should be controversial.
Every person on earth needs to know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the only way to the Father. There's no other name under heaven given to people by which they must be saved.
Turn to Jesus Christ and be saved!
A peaceful religion doesn’t need constant announcements.
I have never seen Christians go around proclaiming that they are a peaceful religion.
Because everyone already knows they are.
I schooled in Kaduna Polytechnic, Tudun Wada.
KadPoly is the biggest Polytechnic in West Africa.
There are about 50 mosques in KadPoly but just one Chapel for Christians. Even inside hostels, there are mosques.
The Christian Community begged the school authority to give them just a plot of land to build a Chapel with their own money, the school blatantly said NO.
FCS, NFCS, and NIFES share one Church, and they are always having misunderstanding because one fellowship stays beyond thier allocated time.
The like of RCF, WCF, DCF, and co, use classrooms for services, and the school authorities always caution them to stop it.
I also schooled in BUK (Bayero University, Kano).
BUK and ABU Zaria, are the two biggest schools in the North, if not in Nigeria.
There are more than 100 mosques in BUK but no single chapel as at when I was in the school.
Christian Students pray outside—even in the rain. Classes are prohibited.
I once asked "Why?" and I was told that the then Emir of Kano said that not even the president (GoodLuck Jonathan) can lay a block in BUK in the name of building a chapel.
In many departmental fellowships, students always turned down the position of fellowship presidents, secretary and other positions that put them in limelight because some lecturers who are extremists in their religion could fail them.
Many departmental presidents stayed two to three extra years in school, not because they legitimately got carryover in their courses but because they are presidents.
There's one St. Augustine Catholic Church behind Ajegunle Hostel in Tudun Wada. It is the only "stubborn" Church in the heart of Tudun Wada and it is always burnt at every given opportunity by extremists. Many of their priests and members have paid the ultimate prize because they refused to relocate the Church.
Reverend Father Borogo Vitues, the then chaplain in KadPoly was recently kidnapped and k!lled by Fulani herdsmen.
The Church in the North is being persecuted, suppressed and suffocated.
It is strategically planned by elites and meticulously carried out.
We don't enter churches here in the North without being searched thoroughly because of su!c!de bombers.
Oh, Southern Churches, I'm happy for your freedom and liberty to serve God without fear of "we may not go out of this church alive."
Christmas is approaching, at least one or two Churches in the North will be bombed by terror!sts.
There's Christian Genocide in Nigeria. It is not CLAMOURING as many people assumed.
But Esther, Listen to this, because you are in the palace does not mean you are safe. If you don't fight for your brethren being slaughtered outside now, soon, it will get to the PALACE, and it'll be your turn.
Just as @SpiricocoNg said, you are not safe or special. You are on the menu. It's only not your turn yet.
Porn is demonic.
Yoga is demonic.
Weed opens doors.
Witchcraft is demonic.
Tarot is demonic.
Zodiac signs are demonic.
Gnosticism is demonic.
New Age is demonic.
Stop playing with darkness.
"Some of these young pastors have no conscience. They keep saying President Donald Trump and the US want to take our resources and that there is no Christian genøcide in Nigeria. Yet, many of them have never gone to the North to preach the word of God."
~Man of God calls out fellow pastors
Christmas is fast approaching; a family portrait or a portrait for your love one(s) isn't a bad idea.
Please bring in your orders, I'm open for commissions.
ONLY TWO TWEETS AND THE WHOLE NIGERIA IS RESHAPING
I,am begin to feel that there are many educated illiterates in Nigeria, including some in government and public commentary spaces. Before we respond with emotion or political defensiveness, let us first understand the meaning of genocide international communities view.
What is Genocide?
Genocide is not simply mass killing. Genocide is the deliberate targeting, harming, or killing of people because of their religion, speech, ethnicity, tribe, or identity.
It is not the number that defines genocide it is the motive and beliefs.
If violence happens to 2, 10, 50, or 10,000 people, what makes it genocide is:
“They were attacked because of who they are, what they said that who considered a Sin and what they believe”
Illustration
If 1,000 people are killed, and 900 of them are Muslims killed by fellow Muslims, the world calls it terrorism, insurgency, or internal conflict.
If the other 100 of them were Christians it will be considered as genocide if they cry out.
But if the same actors enter a Christian community and kill 10, 20, or 200 Christians because they are Christians, that is genocide, even if the number is smaller.
This explains why international voices rise when Christian communities are attacked in Nigeria.
Not because only Christians suffer Muslims also suffer but because faith-targeted killings trigger the definition of genocide under international law.
Key Understanding
1. When Christians kill Christians - conflict.
2. When Muslims kill Muslims - conflict.
3. When crime happens within one group -criminal insecurity.
4. But when a group is attacked because of their religion or faith expression, and what they said that becomes genocidal intent.
The International Position:-
-When international communities raise concern, they are not trying to undermine Nigeria. They are essentially saying:
-“Protect religious minorities and prevent faith-motivated killings.”
-Even if it is 5, 10, or 50 people if they are killed because of their faith and what they said that is genocide.
Nigeria has banditry, terrorism, and crime yes. But religion-motivated attacks are what raise global alarm.
On Leadership & Perception
International perception matters. It becomes even more sensitive when:
The President is Muslim
The Vic President is Muslim
Even past leaders understood this balance. President Buhari, despite criticisms, ensured faith representation at the highest level of leadership pick a Vic as a Christian not just a Christian but a pastor. That decision was not weakness it was wisdom and stability management.
There are already international discussions and diplomatic observations regarding possible political decisions ahead of 2027 particularly around rumours of another Muslim-Muslim ticket.
Whether true or not, perception shapes global response.
A government must not only govern it must be seen to govern with fairness, inclusion, and equity.
Why This Matters:-
When attacks occur and one faith cries for help while leadership remains silent the issue is no longer just about security, but credibility, fairness, and global trust.
It is not only the killings that matter but who is killing who, and why. And who is crying for help and who responds.
This is what signals genocide concerns to the world.
A Message to Leaders
When officials rush to declare, “There is no genocide in Nigeria,” without understanding the global legal context, it exposes ignorance.
Wise leadership does not respond with emotion or denial. Wise leadership:
Acknowledges reality
Responds with maturity
Protects every citizen
Ensures no group feels abandoned
Builds confidence locally and internationally
National defense is not anger or arrogance it is truth, compassion, and responsible action.
Our Call:-
1. This is not politics. This is moral. This is human.
Every Nigerian deserves to worship freely, live freely, and be protected Christian, Muslim, or any other faith.
