The Church Mission to Nigeria Quest for Transformation

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Discipleship is the church mission and responsibility in the world. Using Nigeria as the context of interpretation, the book posits that the conspicuous decay in every facet of the Nigerian society presupposes the country needs transformation. In a quest for transformation, several projects have been launched for laundering Nigeria's dented image. However, majority of those projects have failed to achieve its objectives. Such a failure suggests that effective national transformation demands the church's active participation through discipleship. Discipleship concerns conforming to Jesus' lifestyle of humility, servant hood, sacrifice and consciously replicating same in persons who equally multiply themselves in others with the goal of transforming culture and nation.Therefore, the book is useful to the church that must make discipleship her main engagement and mission and the society that must go through total reconstruction that begins with transformation of the heart and mind for attitudinal and behavioral changes. The book is a resource tool for Theological Institutions, pastors, and all denominational leaders who are interested in Biblical and contextual exegesis
