Joy unspeakable as over 400 Fulani Muslims surrender their lives
to the Lordship of Jesus Christ in Nigeria have been encouraged to be steadfast
and preach the gospel peace to their kindred, so that the incessant violence in
the country could be brought under control.
The advice was made by Reverend Copper Sebok, who is the
head of COCIN Church Panyam after the end of three days fasting and prayers on
Sunday which was organised for all the new Fulani converts from denominations
across Nigeria.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, the sole aim of the
conference was to awaken the need for preaching to their fellow brothers and
sisters all over Nigeria.
“The conference is also a re-union service for all Fulani
converts regardless of their denominations and to share experiences and
encourage one another in the propagation of the gospel of peace.
“It is a concept of COCIN 43 years ago, and to debunk the
notion that Fulani’s are nomadic and can’t be reached with the gospel of
Christ.’’
In his sermon, read from Matt 9: 35-38, the clergy said man
must have compassion on the unsaved to draw them to Christ for eternal
salvation.
The clergy man criticised the rate in which crises are keep
brewing in the country which brings about the loss of lives properties.
Rev. Hassan Mohammed, speaking on behalf of the converts,
expressed appreciation to God for giving them a new lease of life as
Christians.
He disclosed that the conference was an eye opener for them
to go and proclaim the gospel not only to their kindred but to all nations, as
commanded by Jesus Christ.
“We have a total of seven Fulani people ordained Reverends
beside other Pastors and Evangelists and we are doing our best to enlighten our
brothers and sisters about Christianity,’’ Mohammed said.
He thanked the organizers of the conference and appealed to
both Christians and Muslim to continue to pray for the peace of the country.
