Stop causing division in Christendom – Prof Dan warns CAN officials

A Christian elder statesman and the President of Trinity Bible College, Yola, Prof Dan Babayi has warned the National and state Leaders of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) to stop causing division in the entire body of Christ with their selfish style of leadership. Babayi a onetime CAN chairman of Adamawa state and Northern CAN chairman, who served with indelible records of achievements called on Christians leaders to pay attention to the book of Romans where it states that: anybody that’s causing division in the body of Christ is not working for Jesus but working for his belly. He gave this warning during an annual Harvest Thanksgiving service of Adamawa state government house Chapel as the invited guest speaker. According to him a Christian believer should not cause division rather be tolerant and endure all forms of persecutions. He unravel that there is problems in the body of Christ today because most Christian leaders are there because of their hidden agenda. ”Christianity is so simple if you are not having any hidden agenda as a leader or you are not there because of your personal interest”. Babayi Said Prof Dan responded to a question asked by our reporter of the recent fracas that almost divided the national CAN into two of financial mismanagement and favouritism by its officials. He frowned at the level of Christians’ leaders stooping low to politicians because of personal gains of financial enrichment and mortgaging their faith to worldliness. His words of warnings call for concern for Christians leaders to live a Christ like life that show good example of patience, long suffering, humility, love for one another and careless of the things of the world. He however called on them to be active in politics, join political parties of their choice in order for the country to produce good leaders. Dan Garba, Yola
