The Archbishop, Metropolitan and Primate of All Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Most Reverend Henry Ndukuba, has cried out over what he described as internal attack on the church by revisionist agenda.
Addressing the Divine Commonwealth Conference (DIVCCON), 2023, on Tuesday in Abuja, Primate Ndukuba said the Christian church is inundated with internal and external battle.
He however urged the church to continue to stand strong against the forces with the little resources in its hand.
He said, “There are similarities between the experience of Moses and the church of God in Nigeria today. Moses was gripped by doubt and insecurity, doubting his own capabilities. In the face of a crucial divine task, he expressed his inadequacy and fear of rejection.
“Likewise the Christian church is inundated with internal and external battle. The battle is fierce now than ever, internally we are contending against the evil revisionist agenda of homosexuality, bestiality etc with deceitful manipulation of poor nations with money.
“The global church is under fierce attack of heresies and revisionist ideology of the West. We must continue to stand strong against them in the power of God with the little resources in our hand”, he said.
Speaking on the theme of the 2023 DIVCCON, ‘What is that in your hand?’, the clergyman said it reveals God’s desire to partner with Christians and use their feeble resource and skill to demonstrate His power and glory.
“You must overcome our fears and step out in faith, trusting God to bless our endeavors and crown our efforts with success.
“Like Moses, we may feel inadequate or ill-prepared or not equipped for the task before us. However, God’s question reminds us that it is not about our own abilities but about His presence and power working through us”, he noted.
Primate Ndukuba further stated that the church must no longer stand helplessly decrying the hopelessness of Nigeria or despairing about the seemingly impossible nature of her mission in a corruption-battered country.
He said “although Nigeria’s situation is deplorable, it is not irredeemable. Hence, our attitude should not be that of resignation, but of realignment with God’s mandate for liberation and transformation”.
Speaking on the mission of the Church, the Anglican Primate said they are in the process of restructuring and repositioning its mission enterprise in the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) into Home and Foreign Missions in a view to launch out into every part of the Globe.
