From Nigeria-
THE Bishop of the Anglican Communion of Benin Diocese, Rt. Reverend Peter Imasuen, has admonished men of God, particularly pastors in the Pentecostal churches, to preach more of salvation in their sermons rather than prosperity.
He lamented that the over emphasis on prosperity in their preaching had affected the society negatively, stressing that the only way to cleanse the society of immoral activities, including armed robbery and kidnapping, was to enlighten the people that they will go to hell if they don't change their ways rather than telling them that they will make more money even when they have no means of doing so.
Bishop Imasuen, who also used the opportunity to break his silence since he regained his freedom in the hands of kidnappers, spoke weekend in Benin City, during the dedication ceremony of the ultra- modern church auditorium of All Souls' Chapel Church.
According to him, "the only way all these problems of killings, kidnappings in the society can stop is when the church tells the people the truth.
