A pastor who made headlines this month after praising God in a ransom video has been executed by alleged Boko Haram militants in Nigeria.
International human rights activists have condemned the killing of Rev. Lawan Andimi, the chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria’s chapter in the Michika Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
Andimi was declared missing on Jan. 3 following a raid by the Islamic extremist group in Michika. Video posted online appeared to show Andimi being forced into a vehicle by his captors.

This is unconscionable!

ReplyDeleteThe pastor did not believe any of can earn Heaven.
It is a gift of our Lord Jesus Christ
ReplyDeleteThe Bible makes reference to great rewards in heaven
to those who are persecuted for their faith in Christ, and especially those who are martyrs.
Luke 6:22 Blessed are you when people hate you,
when they exclude you and insult you
and reject your name as evil,
because of the Son of Man.
23 “Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets.
Wow, I wish I had that kind of courage

ReplyDeleteI know, 12:31. It would be hard to stay the course. But knowing that God has control of my life because I've put it in His hands, and if He chooses to bring me home in such a way as this, I'd say it's really an act of His grace and love.
Still tough to cross that river, but there's great joy on the other side!
The so- called "religion of peace" commits yet another heinous crime...
ReplyDeleteWe do not earn or deserve the gift of after-life.
ReplyDeleteWe don’t even choose to believe in it.
Jesus Christ promised to prepare a place for us in Heaven with His Father.
Rejoice!
