&NewLine;<p>CAMA law is a coup against Christianity&comma; says Joshua Iginla&comma; the General Overseer of Champions Royal Assembly&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Joshua Iginla&comma; who does not call a spade by any other name&comma; dropped this reaction in a video seen by OpenLife&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>He directs this reaction to the Company Acts And Allied Matters&comma; CAMA&comma; bill signed into law by the President Of Nigeria&comma; Muhammadu Buhari some weeks ago&period;’<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Under the law&comma; religious bodies&comma; and charity organisations will be strictly regulated by the registrar-general of Corporate Affairs Commission &lpar;CAC&rpar; and a supervising minister&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Section 839 &lpar;1&rpar; and &lpar;2&rpar; of the CAMA law provides that the commission may by order&comma; suspend the trustees of an association or a religious body and appoint an interim manager or managers to coordinate its affairs where it reasonably believes that there has been any misconduct or mismanagement&comma; or where the affairs of the association are being run fraudulently or where it is necessary or desirable for the purpose of public interest&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<h2 class&equals;"wp-block-heading"><strong>BLAMING  SOME CHURCH LEADERS<&sol;strong><&sol;h2>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>While reacting to this development&comma; Iginla blamed some church leaders for creating division in Christianity&comma; hereby allowing the government to trample on churches without fear&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>He lambasted them for having unnecessary doctrinal argument when there are other issues to deal with<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>&OpenCurlyQuote;One of the reasons the body of Christ in Nigeria is having problem is because we don’t know our capacity&period; We have lost focus and spent time having doctrinal argument&period; We are the light of Nigeria&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>If we want to ensure that a Christian becomes the president of this country&comma; we have the capacity but we are so self-centered and divided that we are running to people that should be running to us&comma; everything doesn’t end in prayer&comma; there are things we don’t need prayer for in Nigeria&period; We have the capacity to strengthen things but the church has lost her tastes&period; We are in days when we no longer attack the devil but ourselves&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>The reason people from other religion will continue to do better is because they understand their capacity&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>If as a Christian leader&comma; you are corrupt or found wanting&comma; you should be dealt with but I disagree that someone will propound a law into a spiritual entity&period; Its because the church is asleep&period;&nbsp&semi; Last year&comma; I prophecied that the church will face persecution because the church is asleep’<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<h2 class&equals;"wp-block-heading"><strong>CAMA AS A COUP<&sol;strong><&sol;h2>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Also&comma; Iginla made his stand known on the CAMA law&period; He explained that the law is a coup against Christianity and that some pastors are ready to die to prevent the law from being implemented on churches&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>He maintained that the church was built by the labour of pastors and appointment of trustees who know nothing about the growth of the church&comma; the affairs of the church is highly condemnable<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>&OpenCurlyQuote;’Do you know what it took some of us to labor to grow a church up to this level and someone will say he will appoint a trustee over the Church&quest; You don’t even know how the church came about&period; If a pastor is corrupt&comma; let him face the law and go to jail but appointing a trustee&quest; Some of us are ready to die before you do that to us&comma; it is absolutely wrong&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Do you know why it is happening like this&quest; Because the church isn’t feared&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>How do you make a law for the church&quest;  You change the trustee and put your own trustees&quest; When has some organization become a spiritual entity&quest; Are you about to preach&comma; do deliverance&comma; in what capacity will you control the church&quest; Make laws that prevent men of God from being corrupt and if they are corrupt&comma; charge them to court&period; Butt putting your trustees is a coup against the church’’<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<h2 class&equals;"wp-block-heading"><strong>ADVISORY<&sol;strong><&sol;h2>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Furthermore&comma; He advised the government to divert its attention and energy into fight against corruption in the government<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>&OpenCurlyQuote;Sometime I laugh&period; Thank God for this government and what they are doing&period; But I must say their energy must be channeled on the right thing&period; Those who have looted our money and sent our children to live in penury should be sent to jail&period; Its only in my country that those who are fighting corruption are even corrupt&period; Money that was spent on Covid-19 &comma; how many got it&quest; Those who are in charge should be sent to jail&period; Leave the church alone&period; We are not the government&period; If any pastor is found looting with the government&comma; send him to jail&period; But hunting the church is the last place of priority in the fight against corruption&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>The government should intensify efforts against those ones&period; These are people we should use as scapegoats&period; I am not saying they should not look into the church&comma; look into it but appointing a trustee in the church is wrong&period; <&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>If anyone is appointed to take my sit in my church&comma; except the Lord hasn’t anointed me&comma; he will not live to see the next seven days’’&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
