 HI FRIENDS

His calling into the ministry was after a painstaking and soul searching repentance from his sinful ways.

Pastor Innocent Ogbonna said before he became born again, he was involved in all manner of social activities that were innimcal to the doctrines of the Lord.

According to Pastor Innocent, “before I became born again I was into business, you know as an Igboman, and was into a lot of things of the world (drinking, womanising, partying etc), that was the kind of life I was living. But even then, I had this feeling in my heart that what I was doing was not right.”

The man of God further stated that, this pattern of behaviour continued every year with resolutions to stop but to no avail. “However, on February 1984 I finally surrendered. And from then I began to have some encounters with our Lord Jesus Christ, began to grow in my personal intimacy with Jesus and my prayer life, understanding the scriptures and finally being baptised by the Holy Ghost.”

Pastor Innocent Ogbonna who has been in the ministry now for the past 12 years, is the pastor of the Global Bible Ministry, Rivers State branch. He said he came to Rivers State about three years ago to establish the church which has its headquarters in Zaria, Kaduna State.

He stated that with his experience in the North, he observed that Christians in the North were more spiritually inclined to the things of God than the Christians down here. Since I come here, I see a lot of difference, people here are passive as against the christian in the North. Maybe its because of the challenges and persecution, Christians in the North face they tend to be spiritually involved than people here.”

He also said that it is based on this stance that they (Global Bible Ministry) focus attention to what faith is all about, developing your innerman intimately with the master, Jesus.

Said he: “what I have discovered here is that there is too much emphasis on materialism, every body tends to go for money, meaning if you don’t have money you are no longer a Christian or you don’t serve God anymore. Over there (North) we don’t believe in that, we dwell more on our relationship with Jesus and the character of Christ being formed in you. That is what we get involved in,” explaining further, the man of God said, the issue of materialism has gotten out of hand and people don’t know where to strike a balance between spiritual and material aspects, noting that in as much as prosperity is biblical, the problem is the extreme people go to attain it. “A person has not built his personal relationship with God and is involved in material things, thinking that is only when you have a relationship with God, its not like that.

On the issue of proliferation, the man of God believes there is nothing wrong with it because God had not stopped calling people nor stopped giving people ministries. But the issue is how people go about it. Like in the North, when you say you are a Christian, you are well groomed so that you will understand what spiritual authority is all about. So in case God calls, you, you have to know how to go about it.

“Based on the fear of God imbibed in us, we do not need to do things anyhow, we have to go about it the proper way so that the Lord will take the glory. But here, anybody can just wake up and say I’m going to start my own church without really defining the calling because the motive behind most of these establishments is money. However, that does not mean that God did not call most of them. There is a place for calling and a place for derailing from the real focus of the calling”.

On the calamities that befell the nation last year and why the church did not intercede on behalf of the nation to avert them (calamities), Pastor Innocent posited that God sometimes allow such things to happen to awaken His consciousness in the people and the church.

He also said that there was nothing that happen without the knowledge of God, “even as most of these calamities are as a result of man’s mistakes.

According to the man of God, there is nothing that happens without the knowledge of God. We know that there are mistakes human beings make because God gave us the wisdom to manage the resources he had given us. I think what happened in this instance was man’s mistake, because it’s a lingered problem, a problem man has neglected for a long time has now occurred which has brought us to consciousness and awareness.

He further stated that Satan also capitalises on our mistakes to perpetrate evil. “God is aware of it and allowed it to happen so that it will awaken us,” a scenario he likened to the issue of Job in the bible whom God allowed to pass through all manner of travails by the devil.

As regards the issue of intercession by men of God and the church to avert calamities, Pastor Ogbonna contended that, it was not that people don’t pray, but that God allowed these things to happen so as to awaken the spiritual consciousness of man and also the church. “The church needs more intervention, so that when things happen it awakens the consciousness of God in the people so that we won’t be too materialistic.”
