A Catholic Priest and Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry Enugu, Nigeria, AMEN, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka has described the church as a lion and a lamb. Alluding to the Bible, he says that if the foundation is destroyed, what can the righteous do?
Mbaka stated this in a video while reacting to his alleged invitation by the Department of State Security, DSS to appear in its Abuja office. He pointed out that every priest is a prophet and a King who must protect the sheep especially in times like this, when killings are everyday story, when there is hunger everywhere, and people do not have hope again but only hope on God. He further warned that anybody who will stop people from worshipping here will regret it.
However, the purpose of the allege invitation is not known yet. But not a few persons think it may not be unconnected with his recent face off with the Presidency, over his criticisms and call on President Muhammadu Buhari to either resign or be removed, claiming God had rejected him from leadership.
He said, “I got a call that the DSS people from Abuja came here (Enugu) with a letter of invitation to Abuja. Over what? What I cannot understand is it that the mother church in Nigeria should be “cowed down” to Lilliputian.
“I am the servant here. They do not understand history. I spoke against Abacha. I went to Minna to tell Babangida what was wrong in his time. I spoke to Obasanjo face to face. I perform under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. I ministered to the late President Yaradua. I am being used by a higher being called the Holy Spirit.
“If they are attacking me here and there, no wahala (no problem). The Bible says if God is for us, who can be against us? Only God can be God. I heard the security people did not accept the letter. They asked them to come on Monday to give me the letter. If they know the anointing here is too hot for them, let them change. I will not keep quiet.”
