The Serving Overseer, The Citadel Global Community Church (formerly The Latter Rain Assembly), and one-time presidential candidate in Nigeria, Pastor Tunde Bakare, brought fire to the hour-long conversation on The Future of Faith with Chude Jideonwo, founder of Joy, Inc., discussing governance, and the responsibility of the church during these times.

Speaking about his presidential ambitions, Pastor Tunde Bakare mentioned that in the 2011 elections he was “pressured to run with Atiku.” Nonetheless, God’s counsel to him has remained the same – his political career is not over, he will be called upon for more responsibilities and he is obligated to show up.

Pastor Bakare extolled the virtue of rising up to one’s responsibilities, referencing the church as a body that is required in these trying times to show up for its members.

“The church, which is you and I and the millions of Christians in this country, has one duty; to nourish the body of Christ, honor and serve it. That is you and I.”

"If the church does not do its duty, it will soon be empty and cockroaches and spiders will take over,” Bakare said.

The conversation also touched on gender, the state of violence against women, and the increase in questions about the role of religion in the continued subjugation of women, which is inarguably related to how women continue to meet violence at the hands of men.

True talk

Ok sir

Wahala

Ok

Hmnnn

The church is already failing in its duty.. All they are interested in these days is money, money, money and Prosperity teachings and it is evident in the falling moral standards in the society.. Everyone wants to prosper by hook or by crook, morally or immorally

The true church will never be... Save the one run by gods of men.

Funnily, church and mosque are been built daily in Nigeria yet the crime rate is increasing.

Who have they been preaching to?

Christianity is the biggest religion in the world

Instead of bakare to stop been a coward and address the political/economic epilepsy of this present government as a politician that he has become he is busy beating round the bush

It is people like bakare that keeps on supporting this vegetable that are the problem

No more save Nigeria but he was champion at ojota in 2014

Something wet Don dey empty already

Yoruba man talking gibberish

God told you... which god..

Juju man..

No God told you

Bible say do no be equal York with unbelievers.. but this one is whining and dining with demons ... not telling them about Jesus

Why is it hard for Bakare to convert Buhari and his friends elrufia.

Can he confidently say ... he have preached salvation to Buhari


Yoruba pastors sef

Osinbajo people.. deceiving themselves... thinking say Na person dem Dey do.

Bible is free and word of God no change

My brother help me ask am what he means by Christianity duty.

This is a man that have been using pulpit to play his political ambition since bc

I suppose christianity role is to support him for presidency?

What role have other religion that have never spoken about the crisis in this country played?

Because he can't scold buhari his god point blank, he is attacking christianity just like all cowards do

Is christianity the one ruling nigeria?

People that claim to have divine mandate but yet plunged Nigeria into the worst mess in its history

Is he talking about Nigeria or churches

Why can't you leave the messenger and focus on the message

Don't be deceived

Everything is politics to bakare, even in his sermons it's politics

So he is actually cowardly trying to bring christianity to fight his personal political battle

Ask him the duty he is expecting of the church, he can't tell you because it's all politics

oloyedewaris:
Brainwashed Christians will not agree

you are a Yoruba Muslim so I don't expect otherwise

I wonder how many times you Muslims have taken duty to suspend sheik Gumi the bandit ransom collector

I wonder how many times mosques housing Islamic Terrorists doctrines have been called out

Pastor bakare, Nigeria politics is very dangerous to go into now. You better continue your ministry than going into politics, they would soon be shouting christian west will not vote for Christian east o.

Story, story.

Story!


Make we hear word.

Na normal thing, it happened in the dev world. civilization, knowledge, wealth/success & education has a negative impact on religion. When people attain these heights, religion will find it very difficult to woo them to her bed. The current christian belong to one of the above mentioned classes.
