Ahead of the 2019 general
electons, Charismatic Anambra Catholic Priest, Reverend Fr. Emmanuel Obimma,
popularly known as Ebubemonso has cautioned the South-east against being
deceived by the promise of Igbo presidency in 2023.
The cleric spoke at his Holy
Ghost Adoration Ministry, Uke, Anambra State, when he received Eighteen (18) of
the first Christian converts in Guangzhou, China, who arrived Nigeria as
pilgrims.
The team comprising three
Catholic priests, two Catholic Reverend Sisters and other Chinese Christians
were accompanied by seven representatives of Nigerians resident in China.
In his sermon, Fr. Ebubemonso
also cautioned against launching of Operation Python Dance 3 by the Nigerian
Military.
“The problem of Nigeria is
recycling of power and having said this I also want to warn that the
Northerners should stop using Igbo Presidency 2023 to deceive Ndigbo as it is
impossible to materialize unless by divine mandate,” he said, regretting that
“Igbos are complacent in pursuing a collective interest, though quick to pull
down their own brothers.”
Ebubemonso, who was visibly
worried on the arrest, detention and incarceration of over 100 women in Imo
State, described it as “a shame and a disgrace to President Muhammad Buhari’s
government.”
While rejecting the plans by the
military to establish operation Python dance 111 in the South East, Ebubemonso
said “the Army should take the operation Python Dance 111 to Borno State and
other states in the North East where Boko Haram is ravaging not in South East
where there is peace.”
He raised alarm that the Python
Dance mission was a sinister move to wipe some other youths after so many lost
their lives during the Operation Python dance 11.
On the visit by the Chinese
Christians, he said he saw the revelation many years ago that Uke community
Adoration ground would be an attraction internationally for pilgrims as God had
chosen it as a healing ground.
Fr Obimma who spoke on ”
silencing the accuser ” asked Christians not to yield to the scheming of the
enemy but to be focused and battle the devil to a standstill, then expand their
internal horizon through wisdom to survive better.”
He encouraged Christians to pray
for the Chinese Christians “as it is very difficult to worship Jesus Christ in
such a Communist nation.”
He thanked Emeka Ugoagwu, the
Divine Love prayer group China leader, for taking Charismatic movement to
China, which heralded Christianity in the city of Guangzhou.
Addressing the congregation,
leader of the Chinese delegation, Mary Lu appealed to Christians in Nigeria to
pray for Chinese people to receive Jesus Christ in their lives as the only Lord
and Savior.
Lu, who is the Coordinator of the
Chinese Charismatic Group, Yide, road, Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral,
Guangzhou, China recounted how they encountered Jesus Christ in Guangzhou City
through Rev Fr Emmanuel Obimma, who he said God used to heal their brother
suffering from a terminal cancer.
She said they accepted Jesus
Christ in 2006 and that two years later encountered Rev Fr Ebubemonso who joined
them to a hospital where their brother was counting his days on earth but God
used Fr Ebubemonso to restore his health.
Lu said her team were in Nigeria
on Pilgrimage, courtesy of Divine Love Prayer Group China led by its
coordinator, Brother Emeka Ugoagwu, to learn the rudiments of serving Jesus
Christ and evangelism.
Later in his speech, Mr Emeka
Ugoagwu, coordinator of Divine Love Prayer Group China, confirmed the cancer
healing story and announced that this was the first time such number of Chinese
were living their shores to another country for a Church trip rather than
business and other related engagements.
He explained to Fr Ebubemonso
that the people of China were still waiting for him to return after God used
him to restore health to the cancer patient, at least to spread the gospel in
other parts of China not only Guangzhou.
An All Progressives Grand
Alliance, APGA, Governorship aspirant in Imo State, Steve Nwoga who attended
the event, in an interview prayed God Almighty to grant the pilgrims the grace
and anointing to preach the gospel in a communist country like China, to enable
them overcome persecution and reach the over 1 billion Chinese in their country
who do not know Jesus Christ.
