"24 MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY WERE KILLED IN ONE NIGHT"

Yelwata, in Guma LGA, Benue State, was repeatedly attacked on 13 June 2025, 11 August 2025, and again on 19 August 2025 by terrorists. A total of 259 Christians were murdered in the onslaught of assaults.

One of the survivors, Ezekiel, narrated in a video testimony how the terrorists murdered 24 members of his family. He did not escape unscathed: Ezekiel suffered injuries and will bear the scars of the living nightmare that consumed his town.

While all Christians agree that the Lord shall return, there is divergent opinion on whether it was right for anyone, either by revelation, or calculation, to provide a date for his coming. Because of the objection to “date setting”, many Christians are dismissing the call to prepare for the coming of the Lord which some announce would be in September 2025. Bearing in mind the eternal consequences associated with this matter, one is compelled to seek additional insight that may help the saints to make the right decision.

Today is 12th September 2025.

In the past few weeks, social media has been buzzing with various news that Jesus is coming in two weeks to take His own out of planet earth, as prophesied in the Scriptures. That event is referred to as the Rapture of the Church.

2025 GENERAL ASSEMBLY

Thursday 28th August 2025

RESOLUTIONS

PREAMBLE

In compliance with Article 10b and Article 11(iii) of its Constitution, the 2025 Annual General Assembly of Christian Social Movement of Nigeria (CSMN) held virtually on Thursday 28th August 2025 on ZOOM at 4.00 pm. In attendance were the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Dr. Samuel Danjuma Gani, CON, and the Chairman of the Governing Council, Elder Sunday Oibe.

The Board of Trustees and the Governing Council of CSMN wish to thank all the brethren who participated in the Annual General Assembly of the Movement which took place today, 28th August 2025. Thank you for making the General Assembly a success.

The displaced Christians expressed deep gratitude for the food and clothes from Lay Faithful and prayed that God will replenish the donors.Unable to rebuild their houses, the survivors lamented that most of the Church buildings were also destroyed. They worship in a building without roofing. Whenever they scraped the funds together to raise resources, vandals would steal and sell off the materials. They appealed for more support to facilitate resettlement and the reconstruction of their homes and churches. Whatever progress the terrorists were unable to steal would always be destroyed in repeated raids..

In September 2020, the National Christian Elders Forum (NCEF) issued a press release drawing the attention of the country to the futility of the review of the controversial 1999 Constitution (as amended). NCEF pointed out that previous exercises have yielded no positive result for Nigeria. In 2020, the National Assembly undertook the 5th alteration to the constitution.

In June 1995, God spoke to four intercessors about the need for National Repentance and Reconciliation for the healing of Nigeria. Those four were: Barr Emeka Nwakpa, Rev Dr Moses Aransiola, Pst. Austin Ukachi, and Rev. E. Osakwe. That call led to the "REPENTANCE, RECONCILIATION, AND PRAYERS FOR THE NATION" initiative on Saturday 30th September and Sunday 1st October, 1995. It was a nationwide call to prayers.

Since 2024, the Egwuma Community has survived through eight consecutive attacks by Fulani herdsmen. During the campaign of terror, 49 people died, 70 houses were burnt down, and 40 women were widowed. Defenseless and overwhelmed by the intensity of the onslaught, the surviving residents abandoned their homeland. They fled to another town, Ogwule, in the Agatu LGA of Benue State..
