AS the world prepares for a World Global Outreach
Day, president of Gospel Unlimited, Prof. Durojaiye
Adegboye has blamed division and disunity in the
Church on the failure of Christians to engage in
consistent evangelism.
Speaking at the 2015 National Vision Casting
Conference, Adegboye said that until the Body of
Christ repents and unite on the fundamental issue of
winning souls, there will be no end to current challenges
facing the Church. According to him, “because we have
refused to go out to win souls for Christ that is why
we are having problems to the extent that churches are
now divided. This was not the case. The early Church
was orthodox in doctrine, fundamental in holiness,
Pentecostal in power. They did not have secret
societies; their platform was platform of Holy Spirit
and they were all evangelical in action.
“Unless we create an evangelical atmosphere, our
members will not continue in the fire that starts the
churches. I have seen several church sign-boards with
different names with similar weekly activities but out of
the 52-week activities the great commission is not on
the time table.
“We are very good in up-reach and in-reach
activities which include worship and weekly service but
no programme of reaching the sinners. Christianity
consists of an act, attitude and activity which means
come, follow and fish,” he noted. Also speaking, the
international president, Global Outreach, Evang.
Werner Nachtigal disclosed that the Global Outreach
Day which is scheduled for the last Saturday of May
is aimed at sharing the good message of Jesus Christ.
“It was a vision the Lord gave to me five years ago
that every Christian, irrespective of denomination,
should go out on the last Saturday of May and preach
the good message of Jesus Christ. This day is not
about church, preacher or ministry. It’s about Jesus.
“On that day, the whole Church needs to go out and
win souls for Christ. We need to take a new stand,
boldly go and tell someone ‘God loves you.’ Preaching
gospel is a daily affair for Christians, but this day is
set aside to unite globally in passing the message of
Jesus love across the world,” he added.
