Primate calls on persecuted Christians to remain faithful Posted on: July 25, 2016 9:04 AM Archbishop Nicholas Okoh [ACNS, by Gavin Drake] The Primate of Nigeria, Archbishop Nicholas Okoh, has called on Christians in the north of the country to remain faithful despite an onslaught of persecution. Speaking at a service of consecration of three new bishops and the presentation of the new provincial Dean, and the new Archbishop of Lagos, Archbishop Okoh urged Christians to follow the biblical example and defend their faith even against threats of death. “It was so in the Bible time. If you read Revelation, you will find out that it is not new,” Archbishop Okoh told the Vanguard newspaper. “What we charge them is to be diligent in prayer, monitor their environment and stand firm in the Lord. Those in the volatile areas should pray and wait on the Lord, follow the examples of Christian leaders of old, some of them even died in order to defend their faith. They should not sell out but be strong and defend their faith.” Click here for the rest of the story: http://www.anglicannews.org/news/20...persecuted-christians-to-remain-faithful.aspx
