Adewale Martins: Mbaka May Be Barred From Preaching By Catholic

The Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, Adewale Martins, says the Spiritual Director of the Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, could be banned from preaching if he continues to deviate from the doctrines and tenets of the Catholic Church.

Martins, who was appointed Archbishop of Lagos by the Pope in 2012, said this during an interview with the BBC Igbo while reacting to Mbaka’s prophecy that Hope Uzodinma would emerge as governor of Imo State.

Mbaka had on New Year’s Eve prophesied that Uzodinma would emerge as governor in 2020, a prophecy which came to pass on Tuesday when the Supreme Court sacked Emeka Ihedioha and named Uzodinma as the duly elected governor.

Reacting to the prophecy, which has stirred heated debate, the archbishop said Mbaka was under the Diocese of Enugu and did not report to him.

He, however, said if Mbaka continued in the manner he was doing things, the Catholic Church may bar him from ministering.

Martins said, “Fr. Mbaka falls under the authority of the Bishop of Enugu Diocese and therefore he has the responsibility of cautioning him. I can imagine that this must be giving the bishop some challenges.

“It must be giving him a bit of a headache and I feel sorry for him and I hope he will find some way of dealing with this matter that has been recurring. Of course, what could be done in the end is either to say, ok you receive the sanction of being stopped from public ministry. That is a possibility. If it is not done, there must be a reason.”

Martins, who was ordained a priest in 1983, said the Catholic Church does not engage in partisan politics.

He said even if Mbaka received a prophecy from God, he ought to ensure that his conduct corresponds with the scriptures and the doctrine of the Catholic Church.

The archbishop added, “It is utterly surprising that Fr Mbaka would go as far as naming one person as governor against another. It is embarrassing when you hear of priests or people in position of authority making statements that are clearly partisan.

“The position of the Catholic Church on matters that have to do with politics is not to be partisan. Of course, we as a church cannot be oblivious to political events and happenings in the country or the world at large and therefore we must speak from the point of view of principles.

“The priest who believes he has a gift of prophecy has to test whatever has been told to him in the light of the scriptures, in the light of the teachings of the church and in terms of the authority that has been given to leaders in the church.”

Martins said Mbaka’s behaviour was at variance with the teachings of the Catholic Church and he had fallen below the standard expected of priests.

Mbaka, who was ordained a Catholic priest in 1995, has been known to give many controversial prophecies.

In 2002, he prophesied that the then Governor of Enugu State, Chimaroke Nnamani, would not return to office in the election but the governor won a second term.

In 2015, Mbaka prophesied that President Goodluck Jonathan would lose to the current President, Maj Gen Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), which came true.

This is the worst piece I have come across in this forum, it doesn't relate in any way, just another party supporter crying quietly, deeply hurt obviously. Now, because the reverend father revealed a prophesy, that translates to him asking people to vote for a party!! This is a total waste of time and effort to read. Look, if you don't like a party just say so!..if the prophesy was the other way round your write up would have been 'Fr. Mbaka, the last voice of the common man!'. If tomorrow this same priests says 'APC will not win any election again and PMB will go to his village', all of you crying now like breastfeeding children will start dancing and laughing like hyenas..Imo state has a new governor, and Fr. Mbaka prophesied it! If you don't like it wait till the next election.

they just gave u excerpts from the canon of the Catholic Church and priesthood yet u say he hasn't broken any law!!!! are you that daft and lame!!!!!!!?
I'm beginning to think some persons here comment before they actually read the post

Every group and organisation has its rules and if you don't like the rules you simply leave. (Isn't that what you guys usually tell Muslims that want to wear hijab to school?)

Dbiz1111:


you're a pdp supporter.

CaptainMeks:


Group or Organization? So the Catholic Church is now a group or Organization and no longer the body OF CHRIST WHO IS THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH AND WHO HAS GIVEN US HIS WORD AS A GUIDE and not the Canon law?

You may as well call the Catholic Church a Cult as well

orisa37:
CATHOLICS ARE 1st CLASS CHRISTIANS, THEY MAKE THE RULES. THEN ANGLICANS. THEY MAKE RULES TOO FROM CANTERBURY. THE PENTECOSTALS ARE PROTESTANTS, POLITICIANS AND FOLLOW-FOLLOW INTERPRETERS AND CRUSADERS.

There are many, but here's one.

(Godisgreatest1 thanks for making me laugh by claiming that I support PDP or whoever. That's the funniest joke that I've heard in a long time.)

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Please don't make me laugh by trying to twist my words.

Every church is an organisation. That's how they register with the Corporate Affairs Commission. The Redeemed Christian Church is an organisation, the Anglican Church is an organisation, the Living Faith Church is an organisation, Christ Embassy is an organisation, Jehovah's Witness is also an organisation.

They are all organisations and they all have different rules (some workers were recently fired from the Living Faith Church for breaching their rules.

If you choose to call them cults, then that's your problem, not mine. I couldn't care less.

Hello please quote me only when you have sensible evidence. Evidence like video or a link to one of his talk where he was telling the people to vote for the persons you mentioned And not as usual lengthy essay where hungry individuals are putting words in his mouth.

CaptainMeks:


Jesus said in John 15 (I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away....)

In other words, He is the source, we the church are his branches while God nourishes both the source and the branches as the husbandman aka Gardner.

The word of God is what nourishes the Church and not the so called Canon laws made by men.

Any Branch who does not bear fruit through this nourishment being received, will be cut off. It seems the Catholic Church wants every member to be cut off and to either away and die spiritually through the adherence of their Canon law and not True Word of God.

Austineva:
hmm my friend go and listen to Make talks since 2015 to date and tell me how he has gone against d rule of d canon. Don't hate for no reason. Remember he is d anointed one. Touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm. God reveals those prophecies to him so that u will watch ur mouth. Go and learn from what that happened to that man that spoke against him via his 2015 prophecy against Jonathan' BBC, titled ' Mbaka why' he died shamelessly even after his apology to Mbaka. My guy be careful in attacking men of God. God do fight for them more than anything

Patrioticman007:
Envy is the root of all evils, Cain & Abel, first murder saga,all happened because of Envy.
Father Mbaka as a man of god has been receiving backlash and threats from evil men.
Just because he is against the evil party called PDP, had all his prophecies, been against Apc, there wouldn't have been these noise.
Its on record that the leadership of Christian Association of Nigeria, was so much in dirty politics, that they turned to Arms dealers. Yet no body sanctioned them, like they are pestering Father Mbaka, the only true man of God from the South East, Side.

Mbaka for minister of religious affairs,by God grace.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahaha

CaptainMeks:


Catholics are yes men. Their Stark ignorance of the word of God makes them follow the laws of men embedded in the Canon.

The Catholic Church deliberately starved the members of the Bible in earlier days so they would never know the truth. If there is any religious group to call a politically religious entity it is the Catholic Church becau
se even their Canon was politically inspired

A prophet of God should not be a politician, and politics is all about game of desire to desist from the truth.

Aiyk2333:
