Thanks Sir for this Apt and timely adoration to the Orthodox Churches. Again you are very correct Sir. I was once christened #MethodistPreacher because of the root discipleship of #MethodistChurchNigeria#IkoroduDiocese
We are here today because of the teachings they modelled
Beloved
Lest we forget!
I was deeply stirred recently by a statement made by my dear brother, Apostle Joshua Selman. He said, “I was raised by the Anglicans.” That simple phrase sent waves through my spirit. It ignited a flood of reflection. I began to see, clearer than ever before, that our heritage of faith stretches far beyond our current expressions of Pentecostalism. It reaches into deep rivers—older, quieter, yet powerfully persistent—where the saints of old held the line before the light came.
Yes, before the days of high-octane conferences, roaring worship sessions, and prophetic declarations, there were the Anglicans. The Methodists. The Baptists. The Catholics. The Presbyterians. And others. They were there—when it was yet dark, holding the girth of the gospel with lit candles in trembling hands.
We must not forget—no, we must not dare forget—their enduring contributions to liturgy, evangelism, discipleship, education, health care, and societal transformation. They laid down the tracks upon which we now run. They preached when there were no microphones. They sang hymns when there were no keyboards. They built schools and trained minds when it was unpopular to do so. They discipled nations long before social media became a pulpit.
Let me make this personal.
For many of us who are 40 and above, the touch of these mission churches is not distant—it is our story. They named us. They baptised us. They taught us how to pray, how to think, how to live. My own early journey bears this out: I attended Saint Joseph,a Roman Catholic mission primary school in Abeokuta. We would be taken to Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral. We sang hymns every morning. We hailed Mary. The reverend fathers taught us Christian devotion and reverence for the sacred. They did not just educate us—they formed us.
My secondary school Abeokuta Grammar School was Anglican-owned. I cannot forget the deep soul-stirring hymns from Ancient and Modern. At our morning assemblies, those hymns were not just songs—they were theology. They were formation. Our school anniversaries were held at the Cathedral Church of St. Peter, Ake, Abeokuta—one of the oldest churches in Nigeria, a spiritual monument.
Some of our distinguished principals were not just educators; they were clerics. Rev. M.S. Cole. Rev. Adeniji. Rev. Oludotun Ransome-Kuti. These men carried both the Bible and the blackboard. They brought discipline, dignity, and doctrine into the lives of thousands of students. Their legacy lives on.
My father. My grandfather. My uncles. They all attended Baptist Boys High School in Abeokuta—another mission school of profound impact. The same school that shaped the likes of President Olusegun Obasanjo, Chief MKO Abiola, Chief Bola Ige, and many others. It was not just a school. It was a furnace of character, scholarship, and leadership.
These churches and their mission schools had a penchant for scholarship, a penchant for discipline, and a penchant for godliness. They taught us how to dress neatly. They made gentlemen out of boys. They taught us contentment before capitalism entered the classroom. They taught us righteousness before revival hit the stadiums.
Sadly, their contributions have often been obscured. Overshadowed. Forgotten by a generation dazzled by lights but disconnected from roots. So, allow me today—loudly and unapologetically—to salute the Reverend Fathers, the Bishops, the Pastors, the Deacons of these mission churches. We see you. We honour you. We are the fruit of your labours.
To the Anglicans, Methodists, Baptists, Catholics, Presbyterians, and others—we salute you!
We went to your schools. Our parents and grandparents were educated by you. You taught us the Lord’s Prayer, the Ten Commandments, the Beatitudes. You taught us to reverence God and honour man. You taught us moderation. You taught us dignity. You disciplined us. You did not spare the rod. You gave us a foundation that held when life’s storms came.
Just got home to the most heartwarming surprise from my @nordmotion family—the stunning new Nord A9 SUV. Hands down the most beautiful car I’ve ever owned, but even more beautiful is the love behind this incredible gift.
Grateful beyond words.
Last week my Alma Mater- UNN awarded an honorary doctorate in Divinity to Pastor Jerry Eze of the popular “What-God-Cannot-Do-Does-Not- Exist” fame.
Big congratulations to Pastor Eze for attaining this remarkable milestone of being conferred a Doctor of Divinity.
That award got me thinking and connecting the dots about Technology. Those who follow my speeches and writings would know of the 3 Game-changers” that I postulate will propel Africa to growth, development and prosperity.
Technology is one of the three. The scale of transformative impact it will have across all sectors of society on our continent cannot yet be imagined by even those of us who closely follow the data trends that bear evidence of my postulation.
It was Technology - specifically Face Book - that transformed the Pastor Jerry whom I knew in 2016 when he was a rising star young Pastor of the Umuahia-based Streams of Joy church into today’s decorated church leader by a reputable university in our Land.
At the height of the global C-19 Pandemic, using his NSPPD convening, Pastor Eze who’s described by Wikipedia as an “Internet Personality” used Technology to mobilize a fearful world to pray, pray and pray. Those who logged on to pray began to grow in massive scale. They never left at the end of the pandemic and he continues to globally use the tools of Technology to keep people praying daily. Amazing.
I absolutely love Technology and the impact it can have on individuals, businesses, organizations including churches and countries.
As we celebrate with Pastor Eze, I have a renewed burst of optimism that my favorite Ray Kurzweil’s quote will surely come to pass in Africa:
“Our intuition about the future is linear. But the reality of information technology is exponential, and that makes a profound difference. If I take 30 steps linearly, I get to 30. If I take 30 steps exponentially, I get to a billion.”
Yes, may the massive creation, adoption, absorption and spread of Technology into all other sectors of our continent be one of the highlights of the year ahead in 2025!
