Church of God News

Notice also the following two reports (a reader forwarded me the second one):

Extremist Muslim organisation Boko Haram ravaged the predominantly Christian town of Gwoza, Borno State last week.

Over 100 people were killed in the attack, and many citizens were forced to flee their homes and run into the hills to save their lives, BosNewsLife reports.  http://www.christiantoday.com/article/at.least.100.dead.in.boko.haram.attack.on.christian.area.in.northern.nigeria/39605.htm

Muslims, all belonging to Boko Haram, entered the Christian village of Gwoza and butchered one thousand Christians. Why hasn’t this made the news? This should be on headlines everywhere! They were shot, burned alive, and slashed to death. They were slaughtered with bullets, cooked alive, and hacked to death. Nigerian relations expert Adeniyi Ojutiku received a report from a trusted colleague:

The terrorists seized a number of residents as hostages and killed nine hundred and ninety seven an eye witness whose mother among the women that are burying the … bodies confirmed… The insurgents took over the Emirs (mayor’s) Palace as well as a Government Lodge in Gwoza, and have appointed a replacement for the town’s fleeing Emir. They have hoisted their black flags with Arabic insignia all over Gwoza in a show of their total control of the territory.

Ojutiku received from Nigeria marked a phone call and was told that “an unprecedented emergency request for prayers for the inhabitants of the Christian village of Gwoza… The town has … been under siege of Boko Haram for the past nine days”.

Shoebat.com reported before that the Boko Haram Muslims in this same Christian village killed 100, but now a new report says 1000. http://shoebat.com/2014/08/16/muslims-go-christian-village-take-1000-christians-slaughter-bullets-cook-alive-chop-pieces/

Boko Haram calls itself the Congregation of the People of Tradition for Proselytism and Jihad. It is a deviant Islamic faction. It, in certain ways, is similar to the group calling itself the Islamic State in Iraq. It basically, however, has less arms and less money. The goal of terror and forced conversion to Islam seems to be shared by both groups.

Boko Haram, its tactics, and its objectives are horrible.

The world needs the return of Jesus Christ and the establishment of the millennial kingdom.  My prayers go out to those affected by Islamic terrorist groups like Boko Haram.
