When Idahosa came back, Pa Elton noticed that his focus was now more and more on the “prosperity gospel”. On three occasions, it was said that Pa Elton pleaded with him to leave the prosperity “gospel”. On the third occasion, it was said that Pa Elton broke down and wept because he foresaw the damage that the prosperity gospel poison would do to the Nigerian Church.

As far back as 1983, Pa Elton declared that the prosperity “gospel” will disfigure the vision that God gave for Nigeria and that God was going to raise another group of “Davids” to use for the vision and not the “Sauls”. This and other details are contained in a book published last year that documents the life of Pa Elton. It is interesting to note that he also mentored most of the other Church leaders that we have today.

The objective of this write-up is to get us informed and expose Satan’s strategy of making us to focus on earthly blessings and prosperity and reduce our gaze on heaven. That way we would not care about the second coming of Christ. 




But the truth is that heaven is not a place that you can get to without willful, conscious, deliberate and tedious preparation. That is why Jesus said that the gate is narrow. The gate is still narrow and only keenly prepared people can enter. The casual attitude of the Church today to matters of the Kingdom of God cannot get us through the narrow gate. It takes a heart tuned to sacrifice to be able to live in the world today and still maintain the purity that can admit one into God’ presence.

Hence, the summary of this message is that we should flee the poison that is being spread through the prosperity “gospel”. As we can see, Pa Elton, the man who mentored our Church leaders, warned them of this as far back as in 1983. He wept when he foresaw the evil that we are seeing today.

In fact, the story has it that he died of a broken heart. I believe that it was partly because of this. Imagine that he sacrificed his whole life by abandoning a comfortable life in Europe, came to Nigeria as far back as 1937, adopted Nigeria as his home country and spent fifty years of constant toiling to build up the Churches in Nigeria and the Pentecostal movement. Only for his sons in the Lord to disappoint him because of the goodies that started to flow in from America as a result of the prosperity “gospel”.


OVER TO YOU AND I BECAUSE WE ARE THE CHURCH!!! MAY THE LORD HELP US ALL IN JESUS NAME.

Shalom!

THE SAINTS OF OLD SERIES - PROPHET DR. T.O. OBADARE (BIRTH, CALL & MINISTRY)

  Introduction Ogo ni fun Olorun l’oke orun. Mo tun wi leekan si pe ogo ni fun Olorun l’oke orun. E jeki a gbadura (Glory be to God in heaven. And I say once again, glory be to God in heaven. Shall we pray?)[1] This slogan echoed over the Nigerian airwaves, especially in south-western Nigeria, for close to four decades. Each time it echoed, those who were familiar with it easily identified the voice of Apostle (Dr.) Timothy Oluwole Obadare, one of the indigenous prophets of the land, who was the General Evangelist of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) (Worldwide); the Executive Director of World Soul-Winning Evangelistic Ministry (WOSEM) and the President of the Interdenominational Ministers’ Association of Nigeria (IMA). Formerly of The Apostolic Church (TAC), he worked with the church for a period of four years, 1953 to 1957, before he was brought into the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) by Apostle Joseph Ayodele Babalola in 1957. Having joined the CAC, he ...

Apostle Timothy Oluwole Obadare went to be with the Lord on March 21, 2013 at the ripe age of 83.

He was brought to the church premises but could not come down from the car. When the news of his death came in, it dawned on the members that perhaps their leader had wanted to attend the meeting for the last time.[47] Apostle Timothy Obadare is survived by his wife, Elizabeth E.

THE SAINTS OF OLD – PA S.G. ELTON (Part 1)

I have been trying (for over 3 months now) to do a research on the late Pa S.G. Elton, who is widely considered to be the father of Pentecostalism in Nigeria before featuring him on this platform. However, someone circulated this via What Sapp and I am using it as a platform to start a 3 part series on him. Enjoy the write up below. Your feedback and comments will be highly appreciated. Also feel free to send to  eternity.reminders@gmail.com  any useful article(s) in this regard.  Shalom! LOOKING BACKWARD: In order for us to understand the origin of the prosperity “gospel” and the present reign of mammon in the Church today, we cannot but talk about the man who almost single-handedly established the Pentecostal movement that led to the Pentecostal Churches of Nigeria today. Before then all we had were mostly the “orthodox” Churches with strong controls and hierarchy of the ministers. We did not have the “one-man” Churches of today. ALSO READ JO...
