SODOM AND GOMORRAH IN THE CHURCH?

Nigeria's first gay minister, originator of anonymous gay church, House of Rainbow, Rowland Jide Macaulay, says he is pleased to have moved into the open, despite the fact that he is as yet attempting to get over his families' dismissal.

Macaulay uncovered how he felt in the wake of being rejected by family and companions over his sexual status.

The gay person minister uncovered on his Facebook page how he had on a few events considered yield to suicide.

He made a write up saying: I'm not embarrassed about being who I am. In spite of the fact that I am upbeat to have separated my ex in 1994, I lament not knowing of my sexual inclination before I got hitched.

“I am truly not worried as the inclusive Christian ministry with House of Rainbow brings me in contact with many people who are same gender loving, thousands of people around the world just like me.

“Above all I have encountered God with unimaginable love.

“To be rejected by family hurts, especially parent and children.

“I had to block another family member and unapologetically shared with another, who is willing to listen.

“Since I came out as gay, I have thought several times of taking my own life, the rejection cuts deep into my heart and soul, but knowing Christ and believing in an awesome God has been a better option.

“To be able, on a daily basis tell gay people God love us just the way we are is a humbling experience and I thank God for calling me.

“GAY means God Adores You, God Accepts You, God Affirms You.

“Jeremiah 1:5 – Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.

“Psalm 139:14 – I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

“I am not ashamed to be gay, I regret not knowing better before I got married to a woman in 1991, thank God I was divorced by 1994. There are many millions of stories only if we pay attention.

“I thought I will share this, I apologise if this is uncomfortable. But I needed to share. God bless you. Jide Macaulay.”
