Here’s another Nigerian Anglican bishop who isn't afraid to preach the necessity of repentance and conversion to his parishioners.  Is that why the Church of Nigeria is growing like crazy?

Christians have been charged to take the biblical injunction of being born-again seriously so as to receive the blessing and saving grace of God in life.

The Bishop of the Diocese of Ikwerre, Rt Rev Blessing Enyindah, who gave the  charge in a sermon during his Episcopal visit to St James Anglican Church, Elele,  for the confirmation and admission of Mothers Union and Women Guild, decried the attitude of church members still living in sin and appealed to them to live a new life.

Bishop Enyindah, in his sermon with the theme, "Salvation has come to our land," drew the biblical encounter of Zacheaus, the tax collector with Jesus Christ at Jerusalem, saying that God is prepared to forgive those who repent and confess their sins like Zacheaus.

The story of Zacchaeus is also the inspiration for the ministry of The Zacchaeus Fellowship, the group of men and women struggling with same-sex attraction who joined together as a witness to Christ's transforming power to enable his people to live in accordance with God's will.

Bishop Enyindah was elected less than four months ago as bishop for the newly created Diocese of Ikwerre in Rivers state, Nigeria.
