A renowned East African cleric and foremost Kenyan Prophet, David Owuor, yesterday condemned the
seeming monetisation of Christianity in Nigeria and other parts of Africa,
saying Christendom in the continent needs re-orientation and total repentance
He said what is preached in most churches these days is how
to acquire material wealth; how to be promoted at the place of work and how to
be recognised by the society, and that this has taken the mind of the people
away from God, the development of the spirit being and the genuine fear of God.
Owuor made this known when he arrived Lagos, where he is
billed to be the chief guest preacher at an interdenominational Christian
platform ‘Repent Now Nigeria’ taking place from next Friday to Sunday March 13,
2016, at the MUSON Centre, Lagos.
Speaking with journalists at the Murtala Mohammed
International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, shortly after his arrival from Kenya,
Prophet Owuor said he has come to Nigeria put an end to the "gospel of
money" in the country which he said has led to a shift of focus from
righteousness, repentance and holiness to materialism.
"Nigeria is a God-fearing nation, but now if they are
really God-fearing, then this is the moment to return to the true gospel of
cross and the blood- the holy salvation and the gospel that is not connected to
money- that we may prepare the hearts of the people and the nation for the
coming of the Messiah and then everything else will follow.
"The Bible says, seek ye first the Kingdom of God and
His righteousness and everything else will fall in place. So I really bring the
message of holiness and repentance to prepare for the coming of Jesus Christ, the
king. So the kingdom of the church you see in Nigeria now, the building of
universities, the money and private aircraft acquired with big money and all of
that is going to come down. That is why I have come. I came with tremendous
powers and there is no question about that," Owuor declared.
The cleric said he was a former doctorate researcher
at various universities in the United States before his spiritual calling and
according to him, God has spoken with him about "the coming of the Messiah
and that he has spoken with John the Baptist, urging all Nigerians to hearken
to his message while his ministration lasts at the event.
He described the church as an instrument for
reformation and for preparing the nations for the coming of the Messiah.
"This is the moment of the latter rain, the
latter visitation, and so, you have to at this time, come on board, and also, Nigeria
has to come on board as this revival has no bounds. However, there is no time.
"Whatever that has been instructed is going to
be given out; big harvest is taking place, visitation is taking place. So I have
really come against the gospel of money in this city, against the gospel of buying
your morning water, whichever water, gather people from Southern Africa, carry
money to greet the men of God.
"So, all that will come down now. We will now
return to Christ Jesus the Lord and to the free salvation of the Cross and
blood and then of course, there's a healing service coming up and the Lord will
begin an open heaven here by the visiting of this land to establish the
message. The Messiah is coming so let us prepare together," he admonished.
