Dozens of Pentecostal Churches being shut down in Cameroon

Supporters of the government’s order point to incidents involving faith healings gone wrong and other disruptions of the peace.

soldiers_1 — The army of Cameroon has been ordered to attack Churches.

According to Tapang Ivo Tanku of CNN, the government’s action against the Pentecostal churches has not only already taken effect, but also will expand.

“Biya is using the military to permanently shut down all Pentecostal church denominations in the nation’s capital, Yaounde, and the North West Regional capital, Bamenda, which have the largest Christian populations in Cameroon,” wrote Tanku.

“More than 50 churches have now been closed, with the government targeting nearly 100 in eight other regions.”

My comment:

First: The Governments should permit cults and sects to operate freely, based on Freedom of Religion. As long as there is no violence involved. This is an example of persecution of Christians.

But I have to admit, that sometimes Christians are their own worst enemies. By permitting false teachers and false prophets to operate, the enemies of Christianity gets fuel to attack true followers of Jesus the Messiah.

1 Corinthians 5:11

But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.

There is no easy solution to this problem. Many Christians have been martyred, because of crimes committed by false brethren. Non-Christians will not be able to see the difference and execute both true and false Christians.

Luke 21:16

You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death.

Paul has given us a warning, which is followed by few of us. – Do not have anything to do, with people who claim to know Jesus the Messiah, but by their words and deeds make a mockery out of the true faith.

Islam grows in Europe while Jesus stir up Africa

While Islam is growing in Europe, Jesus the Messiah catch millions of Muslims in Africa.

In January 2012, Gatestone Institute, an international policy council and think tank, reported that more than one hundred thousand converts to Islam reside in the UK alone.

France is rapidly catching up with its neighbor, listing some 70,000 new adherents of the religion; with Spain and Germany also witnessing a wave of conversions as 50,000 and 20,000 people (respectively) adopted Islam in the past several years.

Currently counting some 1.6 billion people worldwide, the population of Muslims is expected to increase by about 35 per cent in the next 20 years, totaling 2.2 billion by 2030.

In twenty years’ time, experts estimated, the US will be home to some 6.2 million Muslims (compared to 2.6 million in 2010), whereas Europe will have 58.2 million, up from 44.1 million.

Yet the report concluded that the expected growth is explained primarily by high fertility rates among Muslims, immigration to the Americas and Europe, as well as an increase in life expectancy rather than conversion.

Nevertheless, despite the noteworthy statistics, Islam’s spread pales in significance when compared to the numbers leaving the religion for Christianity.

The issue was first raised in 2003 by Qatar’s news channel Al-Jazeera, which aired an interview with Sheikh Ahmad Al Katani, the president of The Companions Lighthouse for the Science of Islamic Law, a Muslim preacher-training center in Libya.

“Every year, 6 million Muslims become Christians [in Africa alone],” said the man, believed to be an expert on evangelization and Christianization.

“What used to be a majority religion is now turning into minority,” complained the cleric, pointing a blaming finger at the western missionaries, who take advantage of people’s poverty and ignorance to lure them into a new religion.

My comment:

It is a great irony, that Post-Christian Europe embrace the wicked and totalitarian ideology of Islam, while Muslims in their millions leave this falsehood.

God of the Bible explains, that He will leave those who reject His son alone. They will be handed over tot serve the devil, and they will perish.

Unlike the citizens of Europe, Muslims in Africa have never heard the gospel. When they hear the truth, their soul rejoice. The Holy Spirit cut their hart, and they accept Yeshua as Lord and God.

The Bible explains that a man who know the Word of God, but do not do as it says, is a fool. There are tens of millions of fools in Europe.

James 1:22-24
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.

The Bible also explains that a man who serve God, but turns away, will perish. The good He did will be deleted by his acceptance of sin and wickedness.

Ezekiel 3:20
“Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and does evil, and I put a stumbling block before him, he will die. Since you did not warn him, he will die for his sin. The righteous things he did will not be remembered, and I will hold you accountable for his blood.

Truly, the end times is a huge challenge for all of us.

Jihad forces capture second capital of Ivory Coast

Forces loyal to one of Ivory Coast’s rival Muslim presidents, Alassane Ouattara, have captured the administrative capital Yamoussoukro, residents say.

Ivory1 — The Christian president Laurent Gbagbo refuses to hand over power to Muslim Alassane Ouattara who claim he won the November election.

Fighting erupted when they later entered the key port of San Pedro on their advance from the north against incumbent leader Laurent Gbagbo.

Mr Gbagbo continues to cling to power in the main city Abidjan.

The UN, which recognises Mr Ouattara as winner of November’s poll, has voted to impose sanctions on Mr Gbagbo’s circle.
They add to economic measures already taken by the EU and African groups.

The UN resolution, drafted by France and Nigeria, imposes a travel ban and assets freeze on Mr Gbagbo, his wife Simone and three of his closest associates.

Ivory coast is a crippled nation, with an Jihad army advancing from the north.

One million people have fled the violence – mostly from the main city Abidjan – and at least 462 people have been killed since December, according to the UN.

My comment:

The religious war of Ivory Coast has crippled this African Nation. In the North, an Jihadist army has taken control. The Muslims are advancing into the Christian south, with the motive of enforcing a state that will be ruled by Sharia laws.

Ivory cost was once up on a time the most blessed and richest nation in Central Africa.

Now this nation is under threat, of becoming the next religious dictatorship, who will be placed under the yoke of “Allah” and the false prophet Muhammad.

How does Islam advance?

By making babies, they alter the demographics of nations. Families with 8 to 10 children become a strong voters bank, and a breeding ground for Islamic soldiers. What happens in Africa, will eventually happen in Europe.

In a similar way the Palestinians wants to destroy Israel by the number games, flood the Jewish state by new born Muslim babies and the return of “refugees”.

The next battlefield might be Europe. The naive Europeans do not know what kind of evil spiritual forces they have invited to settle inside a former Christian and Catholic culture. The post-Christian Europe is about to fall into a trap of totalitarism.
