IRAN LAMENTS SPREAD OF CHRISTIANITY




 



By Sharon Isaalah, with agency report





The Iranian Intelligence Minister,  Mahmoud Alavi - has reportedly admitted that Christianity is spreading throughout Iran in a manner that is unprecedented in the history of that country. 

According to report, Mahmoud Alavi - the Islamic Republic’s intelligence minister - while giving a speech before the Shia Muslim clerics, said: “Christianity is spreading too much in Iran.”

Alavi said, “These converts are ordinary people whose jobs are selling sandwiches - these he said among other belittling compliments”

“Out of the fiery furnace comes forth faith as pure as gold (1 Peter 1.7).” It is obvious how the confirmation of this scriptural verse has become a reality in an unexpected region - among the persecuted Christians of Iran whose nation has now become world's fastest growing network of Churches.

Iran has fastest growing churches despite very few church buildings

According to the report, in an open conversation between the converts – in Iran and  Alavi, the peoples' response were shocking. 

Alavi said, “We had no choice but to summon them to ask them why they were converting,” “Some of them said they were looking for a religion that would give them peace.” “We told them that Islam is the religion of brotherhood and peace but, they replied that: All the time we see Muslim clerics and those who teach at mosques talk against each other. If Islam is a religion of cordiality, then before anything else, there must be cordiality and peace among the clerics themselves.”

The Intelligence expert noted that less can be done to stop this mass conversion saying it is not the job of the intelligence community to find the root to these conversions from Islam to Christianity"

Today - Iran ranks 9th on Christian support organizations whereas it was noted among the World Watch list of the 50 countries where it is most difficult to be a Christian.

Today in Iran, mosques are empty and many disillusioned with a faith that rules by terror and fear are having encounters with the True God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Jesus - The Jewish Messiah is appearing to them in dreams and visions – even in person – and Christians - disciples though forced to meet and worship in secret are rapidly multiplying to such an extent that the authorities are having to admit their presence openly. This has become so real that Mahmoud Alavi did say in his speech that mass conversions “are happening right under our eyes."

Former MD NDDC, EKERE DENIES MAKING CONFESSION, BLAMES PURVERYORS OF FAKE NEWS

In the wake of President Muhammadu Buhari’s order directing a Forensic Audit of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) under the direct supervision of the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs Senator Godswill Akpabio, CON, several misguided statements drawing mischievous innuendoes alleging that the Audit is targeted at the immediate past Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC)  and Governorship Candidate of the APC in the March 9, 2019 Governorship Elections in Akwa Ibom State, His Excellency Mr. Nsima Ekere, have flooded the media space. Having elevated such puerile narratives to unimaginable proportions, our attention has also been drawn to an ambitious but poorly cobbled and error-ridden report claiming amongst others, that Mr. Nsima Ekere sees the audit exercise as “witch-hunting” and has therefore vowed not to “go down alone”. The said verbose and reckless report is clearly a poor mimicry of Mr. Ekere. This is so because there is a unanimous unive...
