THIS BIAFRA YOU ASK FOR

Biafra is the land of men agitating to go and be on their own because they have been treated the way they have been treated. It is to them a land of hope and salvation.

OPEN LETTER TO THE GENERAL OVERSEERS OF CHURCHES OF CHRIST IN NIGERIA

May the LORD renew your strength men of God. Hope the sheep are grassing gracefully. I write to you on some issue obviously neglects over the years and it giving room to the intimidators to come in. We must not be ignorant of the devices of the enemy and the vessels he can use.     Fathers in the Lord, one major issue I write to you about in this letter about the church, is the division. Oh no, it is alarming. All churches ordaining by GOD, bought by the blood of Jesus Christ, founded by the Holy Ghost should be one. One, I mean one, not one and half, a whole one. How come the church in this nation is this divided . It is so divided that some denominations, do not go to other denomination, even relating with the member of those denominations is like committing sin. They called the other, a worldly church, church of sinners. I have witness an instance where there was a wedding ceremony in one denomination, saints from the  other denomination could not come into...
