THIS IS WHO I CALL A KINGDOM CELEBRITY Pastor Chuks Ajuka I celebrate Jesus in your life ,your home , your ministry and I can confirm that the gospel history shall never forgets your contributions to the ministry of Jesus Christ .You are one of the Lords General .God bless you sir .Your Christian life style fits this quote “When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, I used everything you gave me.” ― Erma Bombeck Christianity and churches within the ethnic minority UK is another joke entirely most especially when evangelism of prosperity is the order of the day instead of Salvation. Most diaspora’s Christian still fails to understand that numerical strength does not justify a church growth Although the Bible does not specifically address church growth, the principle of church growth is the understanding that Jesus said, “I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it” (Matthew 16:18). Paul confirmed that the church has its foundation in Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 3:11). Jesus Christ is also the head of the church (Ephesians 1:18-23) and the church’s life (John 10:10). Having said that, it should be remembered that “growth” can be a relative term. There are different kinds of growth, some of which have nothing to do with numbers. A church can be alive and growing even though the number of members/attendees is not changing. If those in the church are growing in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus, submitting to His will for their lives, both individually and corporately, that is a church that is experiencing true growth. At the same time, a church can be adding to its rolls weekly, have huge numbers, and still be spiritually stagnant. Growth of any kind follows a typical pattern. As with a growing organism, the local church has those who plant the seed (evangelists), those who water the seed (pastor/teachers), and others who use their spiritual gifts for the growth of those in the local church. But note that it is God who gives the increase (1 Corinthians 3:7). Those who plant and those who water will each receive their own reward according to their labour (1 Corinthians 3:8). There has to be a balance between planting and watering for a local church to grow, which means that in a healthy church each person must know what his/her spiritual gift is so that he/she can best function within the body of Christ. If the planting and watering get out of balance, the church will not prosper as God intended. Of course, there has to be daily dependence upon and obedience to the Holy Spirit so His power can be released in those who plant and water in order for Gods increase to come. The description of a living and growing church is found in Acts 2:42-47 where the believers “devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” They were serving one another and reaching out to those who needed to know the Lord, for the Lord “added to their number daily those who were being saved.” When these things are present, the church will experience spiritual growth, whether or not there is numerical increase.. For example in Nigeria over 10 million people attend Friday night programme of a Christian denomination for many reason like massive rates of unemployment within all classes, poverty, unreliable and irresponsible government. More people will also attend Monday service for healing programme because there are no free or well-equipped medical centres for the masses. As a result of this shameful style of government the masses will have no choice than to seek God for a breakthrough and a way out. Have you taken time to ask yourselves why the same people who attracts 10 million people on their vigil programmes in their home country finds it so difficult to attract 10 whites people in their congregations or revivals in the western world ? It is difficult for prosperity preachers to function in the west and attracts the Europeans without a real fire in them because the government in the west had already sorted the issue of prosperity they want to disguise under through the creation of the welfare state. There is a free medical facility for all with experts available 24 hours so you need not to go to any healing service, there is financial benefits for those who are homeless and unemployed so you won’t see any European in their programme except the economic migrant. These days believers within the Ethnic minority still fails to realize that it is about their relationship with Jesus Christ and not about their G.O, Pastors, Prophets, or Bishops .If you are believer or a pastor and you still think that you have to invite one Pastor in Africa or Jamaica before God listen to your congregations then you may need an urgent spiritual mental help or maybe you should read well the 1 Kings 19:18 New International Version Yet I reserve seven thousand in Israel--all whose knees have not bowed down to Baal and whose mouths have not kissed him. For God sake they are able men of God here and I can assure you that the west is where your calling is really tested .95 of the prosperity preachers in the developing world surely will struggle to function if they are here except they are with good intentions and that is why the prosperity oriented ones in the UK always look for black areas to plant their church .Disgrace. The gospel should be for all without sentiments .Please take time to evaluate Galatians 3:28Common English Bible (CEB) 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek; there is neither slave nor free; nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Today I celebrate a man of God that has continue to love the gospel without sentiments and materials reason .Although he operates as an Apostle but chose to remain a very humble Pastor . A senior consultant of fresh fires Organization and Originally trained as an accountant Pastor Chuks Ajuka is the senior Pastor of Oasis of Christian centre Chatham .The man of God continues to be the heartbeat of the gospel in the UK with his support for over 300 churches registration in the UK alone. A well respected figure by the charity commissions, a missionary, an evangelist, teacher, Apostle and a great mentor of many great men of God. I really respect this man of God because of his simplicity, honesty and dedication to the gospel .Today you see many men of God are so much interested in private jets and comforts than the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ it is even irritating to find out that a private jet of a well-known man of God was used for fraudulent purposes recently .Sometimes I wonder why men of God in Africa refused to plant churches in Sudan and supports missions in Zamfara or Saudi Arabia instead of coming to the UK every months .FOR WHAT? We have enough hands here that can do what you are doing or more than by His grace. They plant churches not because they have a burden to reach lost souls but because they see dollar and pounds signs when they fill an auditorium with chairs. A selfish message produces big-headed opportunists who need position, applause and plenty of perks to keep them happy. Prosperity preachers promise instant results and overnight success; if you don’t get your breakthrough, it’s because you didn’t give enough money in the offering. Jesus calls us to deny ourselves and follow Him; prosperity preaching calls us to deny Jesus and follow our materialistic lusts. There is a leadership crisis in the African church because many pastors are so set on getting rich; they can’t go through the process of discipleship that requires self-denial. Pastor Chuks Ajuka is an awesome Godly man who is more interested in your salvation than your pockets .This man of God just want to always help you all the time . I celebrate Christ in you today .
