Osinbajo: Christians Are Expected To Pray For Their Enemies — Including Insurgents
Vice President Prof. Yemi Osinbajo has advised Christians to always pray and show love to their enemies including insurgents as this is what God expects of them.
Osinbajo gave the advice when he spoke in Lagos at the National headquarters of the Foursquare Gospel Church, Nigeria yesterday Sunday July 21st.
According to Osinbajo, he is always shocked when men of God speak bitterly about their enemies.
“The gospel of Jesus Christ is a contrarian gospel because it does not agree with our flesh. The Bible for instance says we must pray for our enemies, bless those who curse us and even those who persecute us. But our flesh says we should curse those who curse us. In fact, curse them so much that they will not again dare to curse. The Scriptures say we should not revenge. The power of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ lies in that very contrarian nature. The gospel speaks to that which we do not want to accept.
I have seen as I travel around the country how God’s love is demonstrated by other people, ordinary Christians. A woman whose two children were killed and her father was also injured in the North East. I spoke to her and she said, we still must pray for these people. These people are the people to whom we have been called. I was surprised. I have heard leaders of our faith who speak with such bitterness.
When I heard this woman who had lost her two children speak, I knew she spoke from the very depth of the grace that God gives to those who truly believe in him and I know it is that kind of love that can conquer all situations and win souls and win over the worst of men and the worst of women. It is that exceptional kind of love that Christ himself taught us. But it is so difficult. Yet that is the gospel.” he said

Osinbajo: Christians Are Expected To Pray For Their Enemies — Including Insurgents
Horrible! Horrible and devilish!!! Two players played in the life of Eve and Adam. Afterward the serpent had his way because Eve was in doubt of who created them, The Creator imposed curses upon humanity. Since the war had been wagging between good an devil an offspring of woman and offspring of the serpent. Unfortunately, the same woman bring forth these offspring. Imagine. Everyone should be mindful not to listen to deception. Life does not have duplicate, serpent are many and they advise ignorant people to remain careless and be praying for those who kill them. Would everyone not recognize the tale of agents of devil? For me, monkeys are detestable animals. Avoid listening to ape and chimpanzee
