CHRIST & THE CHURCH
EXPOSING EVIL
| |
Christ, history’s Protagonist & King, continues to orchestrate the procession of the nations. Every nation represents a piece on the chess board of history. It is God’s divine blueprint to separate the chaff of the wicked from the wheat of an overcoming church.
Currently, the U.S. Congress is discussing this very issue as the world, shaken by the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk, now wrestles with Nigeria’s genocide of its Christians who shout their anti-Christ rallying cries, “Allahu Akbar.”
The church has a call to obey her admonition to disciple the nations (Matthew 28). It was Christ’s last charge, and it is incumbent upon our pulpits to preach Biblical culture, Biblical morality, and Biblical governmental responsibility that we might fulfill that commission.
The discipling and transformation of the nations is a Biblical theme addressed in each of the Bible’s books from Genesis to Revelation. It is the process of protecting the dignity of the individual, the sanctity of the family, and the prosperity of society.

THE CHRISTIAN GENOCIDE
IN NIGERIA IS REAL
| |
Last week, former Nigerian Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode unleashed an online tirade mocking Sen. Ted Cruz, Texas Republican, for calling on lawmakers and the Trump administration to take action to stop the genocidal butchery of Christians in Nigeria.
In his post, Fani-Kayode defended Nigeria’s Muslim president and his government and claimed that there is no Christian genocide and that such talk is merely a foreign conspiracy aimed at dividing his country.
| Now, it should be noted that Senator Cruz is not the only one sounding the alarm about what is presently happening in Nigeria. Multiple news outlets ranging from the Catholic Register to FOX News, to the Christian Broadcasting Network, and the Sahara Reporter, have all reported the same. Even Bill Maher (who is clearly of a different political and religious stripe than Ted Cruz) addressed this issue on one of his recent shows. | |
“The fact that this has not gotten anyone’s attention is pretty amazing,” said Mr. Maher.
They are systematically killing the Christians in Nigeria … This is so much more of a genocide attempt than what is going on in Gaza. They are literally attempting to wipe out the Christian population of an entire country. Where are the kids protesting this?
So, what’s the truth? What is really happening in Nigeria? Are its Christians explicitly being targeted for extermination or not?
| |
Judd Saul, the founder and director of Equipping the Persecuted (equippingthepersecuted.org) an organization that provides humanitarian relief exclusively to Nigeria, was recently asked to respond to Femi Fani-Kayode’s claims. Here is, in part, what he said:
As someone who has spent years working on the ground in Nigeria—helping widows, orphans, and pastors who have survived jihadist violence—I can tell you plainly: Femi Fani-Kayode is wrong.
Mr. Saul went on to state:
According to the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED), more than 100,000 Christians have been killed in Nigeria in the past twenty years. Open Doors International corroborates these statistics. Currently, over 3.5 million Christians have been displaced, with homes torched and churches reduced to rubble.
“These are not isolated clashes,” added Saul:
They are systematic, religiously motivated attacks by extremist groups such as Boko Haram, ISWAP, and the Fulani militants. In heavily Christian areas like the Benue Plateau, and Southern Kaduna, villages are surrounded at night, men are executed, women are raped, children are kidnapped and enslaved, and entire communities are erased.
| |
Saul said that he has witnessed this carnage personally.
I’ve seen people send desperate messages to the Nigerian military, pleading for protection, only for the government to order troops to stand down. The massacre then happens before soldiers arrive. That is not a coincidence. It is genocide by policy.
"At Equipping the Persecuted,” said Saul:
Our Nigerian staff regularly arrive after these attacks. I have stood in the remains of burned churches and spoken to mothers who buried their children just hours before. One woman told me, 'They came shouting Allahu Akbar. They burned our church while we hid. My husband did not make it out.’ This is not random violence,” he added, “this is targeted slaughter.
| |
Saul made it clear that his is not an isolated opinion but rather a corroborated fact by pointing out that the Global Terrorism Index lists the Fulani tribe among the world’s deadliest terror groups and that it is responsible for more civilian deaths in 2023 than ISIS. “Their jihadist intent,” said Saul, “is domination. Their goal is to drive whole regions of people to flee or die. That is, by definition, genocide.”
Mr. Saul summarized his concerns: “The reality is that despite countless promises from the Nigerian government, hundreds of thousands of displaced Christians continue to live in squalid camps, traumatized and forgotten. Their homes are gone, their churches are gone, and for many of them, their children are dead. Tell them there is no genocide, and they will show you the graves.”
| |
Saul pointed out that in all his efforts to help the Nigerian people he has “not seen one meaningful prosecution for the mass killings of these Christians.” “At some point,” he said, “the government’s inaction becomes complicity.”
Judd Saul concluded:
As a Christian, as an American, and as someone who has risked his life alongside Nigerian believers, I refuse to let this genocide be ignored or denied. The victims are real. Their blood cries out from the ground. When the world stays silent, evil grows. While some may choose to whitewash the Nigerian government’s image, I choose to defend the lives of the Nigerian people.
| When people as diverse as Ted Cruz, Bill Maher, and Judd Saul are all sounding the same alarm we might want to wake up and listen. The genocide in Nigeria is real. Like the Polish and German Jews of the 1930s, these African Christians don’t need more of the world’s denial; they need the world’s help. | |
