NEWS FROM NIGERIA

EBEM | Bro Gaius Egwu

I am so grateful for the materials that you send to us, thank you so much. There is much work for us here to do, because many here have a zeal for God’s word but not according to the truth. So we are trying to reach them with truth to save them before Jesus comes back to be our King here on earth. Our prayer is to baptize as many as possible. Bro Olugu who was just baptized is doing well, only he is passing through some health problem so we ask for your prayers.

It always inspires me whenever I read the works of Carelinks. I am on my knees for the love of our heavenly Father to always see you through. Seeing as some migrants come from Christadelphian families, our prayer is highly needed and the value of family worship comes in much. We really pray and ask for your continued support in reaching the unreached people at our end.

Those who want to make a name for themselves want to climb to heaven like Christendom (tower of Babel). But we, the children of the Kingdom, look for the new Jerusalem coming down out of heaven. God Himself will be our God and we shall reign on the earth and then we shall see His face and be like Him. That is our comfort.

The news tells us that the coming of the Son of Man is near for this earth. We will not know the exact day or hour, as Christ said in Matthew 24:36 and it is recorded in Acts 1:7 – “of that day or hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” So nobody knows the day – both man, angels, prophets, even Christ himself doesn’t know the time, except his Father only. Peter gave more indications on it, and his followers, as the Old Testament reveals that we are in the last days. Jesus gave us signs of his coming, recorded in Matthew 24 and Luke 21:

1| There would be false prophets claiming to be ‘Christ’. 2| War and violence would be on the earth. 3| There would be famines, pestilences and earthquakes. 4| Many people would hate Jesus’ followers and deliver them to death, persecution or imprisonment. 5| There would be signs in the sky, sun, moon, stars and sea. Heaven would be shaken, day will be darkened etc., showing the coming of the Son of Man.

And in Revelation 22:7-12 it is recorded that God will send his Angels as servants; behold, I am coming soon to repay everyone for what he has done. He will come as a ‘thief in the night.’ If anyone rejects him he rejects his life. ‘I am knocking at the door,’ the righteous will open it to allow believers to come in.

The problems stated in Matthew 24 and Luke 21 can refer to AIDS, Ebola, Lassa Fever etc., such diseases kill people everywhere. Wars will occur in many countries, as will earthquakes.

In Nigeria there is Bokoharam, kidnapping, war as carried out in some states like Benne State, between Fulani herdsmen and the people of the State killing innocent people daily. Lassa Fever and war between Christians and Moslems in the North. Pray for us.
