The Chairman, Pentecostal Fellowship of
Nigeria, Abia State chapter, Reverend Theophilus Anyimson, has disproved
the notion in some quarters that President Muhammadu Buhari came to
power with a hidden agenda to Islamise Nigeria.
Anyimso, who also doubles as the
Superintendent of the Umuahia Central District of the Assemblies of God
Nigeria, stated this on Thursday in Umuahia during the inauguration of
the church’s project.
He
said that Nigeria was too large a country and occupied an important
place in God’s agenda that no single individual could unilaterally alter
God’s plan for the country.
He said,: “Nobody can Islamise Nigeria.
Presidents will come and go and Nigeria will remain. They say Buhari has
come to Islamise this country but I tell people that it is not true. He
has come to rule for four years or eight years, and he will leave and
Nigeria continues.”
The cleric enjoined Christians in the
country to propagate the gospel across the length and breadth of the
country without fears, saying “all nations belong to the Lord.”
Anyimson explained that the church
project was aimed at multiplying the membership of the church in Nigeria
in the next 10 years through aggressive evangelism.
One of the guest speakers, Evangelist
Edwin Okpara challenged Christians not to feel comfortable when only
about 2 billion out of the approximately 7 billion world population were
Christians.
He said that the fate of unbelievers in
eternity should be a source of concern to Christians even as he
advocated aggressive evangelism to win souls.
Adding his voice, the Missions
Coordinator in the district, Rev. Henry Emelike, urged every member of
the church to win one soul each year for the 10-year project while each
church should endeavour to plant another church every year.
