Concern for Nigerian Christians: 'We are in danger; we have no one to fight for us'
Premier ^ | May 2019 | Eno Adeogun

Posted on 05/05/2019 10:20:14 PM PDT by CondoleezzaProtege

Christian charity Open Doors was informed that armed members of the terrorist organisation - that has pledged allegiance to IS - invaded the Christian community of Kuda near Madagali in Adamawa state, north east Nigeria on Monday.

They then went door to door, killing as many as 25 people.

Field workers have asked supporters around the world to pray for the Lord's grace to the Church in the Madagali area as they face renewed instability.

A spokesperson from Open Doors told Premier: "Pray for the Holy Spirit to be at work in the lives of all those affected.

"Pray that security will be restored soon."

Modern Christendom may be seeing a call whereby the Lord is not satisfied for it to be trying to live privately to itself. That might be the secular civic ideal, but it is not the reality for the “good fight.” As wickedness increases, so should spiritual activity in the Lord.

I keep hearing people wanting someone to come fight “for them”. Freedom is only for those who are willing to fight for it.

Freedom... the ultimate DIY project.

Maybe with them. What makes you think they have weapons to fight with?

Oh really?

Right after the Egyptians drowned.

Exodus 15:1-3 Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the Lord, saying, “I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea. The Lord is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him. The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is his name.

They have been abandoned by the world and I can see they feel neglected, as they have. The world does not care about the plight of Christians, it persecutes them.

It's important for us to pray for persecuted Christians everywhere, but it's GOD'S job to defend them.

Prayers for them. May God deliver them from the Satanic evil surrounding them.

Pope Francis by his continuing social engineering pontificating and attempts to equalize the mono theistic claims that Islam honors the same Judeo Christian deity. Is only encouraging the continuing attacks and murders of African and Asian Catholics as well as attacks elsewhere including Russia, France, Sri Lanka, even California and destruction of their churches. by Islamic followers. This Pope by decrying the sale and use of arms which Christian’s could use to defend themselves or warn the faithful not to proselytize or be “fundamental” to discourage conversions.

Are used by Islamists because they appear to support Islam’s mono theistic claims which is the way Islamists interpret the Pope’s remarks. Seemingly supported by Francis’s refusal to condemn or refute when those theological Islamic claims authorizing murder, deceit and deceptions are used while committing these atrocities becomes the unintended result..

Apparently white liberals only care when Black churches burn in those situations where Billy Bob can be blamed.

And American Black chrstians certainly don't seem to give a hang about their "racial brothers" and co-religionists in the "holy mother land." They're too busy apologizing for islam.

Jesus said to His disciples, sell your cloak and buy a sword ( illegal under roman occupation), which they did...

Whatcha waiting for? AKs abound in Africa. Defensive uses are not unchristian.

“Pray that security will be restored soon.”

A rifle and several magazines full of ammunition in your own hands go a long way towards personal security.

“but it’s GOD’S job to defend them.”

If that’s true He’s doing a pretty lousy job of late. Maybe he could subcontract things out to a few actual human beings.

Jesus was crucified.

If the world hated Him, it will hate His followers.

Besides, justice will be done in the end because this life is not all there is. It’s what happens in eternity that counts.

Nigerian Christians don’t like Islam much, and don’t like homosexuality much. That makes them old American white guys due for extermination; mainstream American Christians and the Diversity Establishment agree.

God has used countries and armies to both punish His people (captivity in Babylon) and to rescue them (when Cyrus the Great took over Babylon and set them free). If I recall correctly, some of the Hebrews didn’t want Cyrus to free them - he wasn’t a Hebrew.
