In an interview with Etop Ekanem, the
founder and General Overseer of Pentecostal Cannanland Mision in Ajao Estate,
Lagos Pastor Nick Medo-Uwa spoke about same-sex marriage and why it will never
be accepted in Nigeria. Enjoy!
How did you receive the news of the
endorsement of same-sex marriage by the American Supreme Court?

It was no surprise to me because America is
a country that is being used by God; but the devil also uses the country to
advance some of his activities. Any time that the devil wants to do evil, he
uses America to do it. America has been used by God to spread the gospel but
today, Americans are no longer interested in spreading the word of God, instead
Africans have taken over that responsibility of spreading the gospel. Continue…

This gay marriage issue has spread to other
nations of the world but we still thank God because at the end, he will still
do what he wants to do. However, where I am having concern is the situation
where the church is being forced to wed gay couples against biblical rules. If
their government legalizes same-sex union, it should be in government’s courts
and not in the house of God.

They should limit this kind of union to the
courts; the church should not be involved. Same sex marriage should not take
place in the church to avoid polluting it. I am praying that they should leave
the church out of this anomaly. The church should not be compelled to wed gay
people because doing that will be against the will of God for his church.

But you don’t envisage such a law coming to
Nigeria?
Nigeria?
It will be difficult to have such a law in
Nigeria because so many things will work against it. Our tradition, culture and
religious belief forbid such things. Nigerians believe in prayer, if any leader
endorses such practice in Nigeria, the citizens will stone him.
