Ejike Mbaka Demoted: Catholic Priest Punished, Moved Into One Room Apartment
January 31, 2016 – Rev Ejike Mbaka Demoted: Catholic Priest Punished, Moved Into One Room Apartment To Serve Under Another Priest Over Jonathan’s Defeat
- Ejike Mbaka Demoted For Visiting Aso Rock On Buhari’s Invitation
- Adoration Ministry’s Priest Ejike Mbaka Demoted To Resident Priest, Transferred To Our Lady Parish In Emene, Enugu State To Serve Under Another Priest
At last, Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka has bowed out of Christ The King Parish of the Catholic Church in Enugu after 20 years of faithful service.
The entire Enugu stood still for Mbaka yesterday as over 30 lorries accompanied by thousands of his followers escorted him to Our Lady Parish.
He is now serving under another priest.
Mbaka however told his faithfuls that he will suffer, moving from a duplex to a room in his new parish but asked them not to worry that God has bigger plans for him.
Hear his words:
“I know we are going to suffer; between now and few months to come, I am going to suffer; I am going to suffer because I have no place to lay my head; I am going to suffer because I have no place to keep the Ministry’s assets; I know I am going to suffer because I have not lied.It’s going to happen in the month of Lent; so I am going to use my exit here to observe the Lent. But Jesus said it to His apostles in John 16:20, ‘You will be sorrowful and the world will be rejoicing but very soon I will turn your sorrows to joy.’ So I am waiting for that moment because for now I know we are going to suffer. The Adoration Ministry is passing through suffering right now; even though I have accepted it as the will of God; it is the will of God through suffering; it is a mega suffering. But however, the grace of God will carry us all; even though some of you may pray that God should remove this thorn from us, the scripture says ‘His grace is sufficient for us; for its even in your weakness that the power of God is demonstrated. So we are moving but don’t forget the scriptures, ‘my brothers they make me keeper of vineyards, my own vineyard I keepeth not. All these while we have been keeping vineyards, building for Christ The King Parish…Bishop Gbuji asked them, how much …but because I don’t want to disclose my charity, they can’t keep that account. How many trailer loads of cement came here? All the monies I made from my cassette and other private crusades all of them were used to build this church. We cannot quantify it but let God be glorified.”
“It is the will of God; and when the will of God either permissive or however, happens, nobody should question it. All you have today is Amen.”

Many are the afflictions of the just man,but God will deliver him from them all.They will gather in many ways but their gathering will not be for us.Indeed the devil is at work but the ministry of God will flourish and grow from strength to strength.Fr. Mbaka,suffering has become a part and parcel of your life,so being demoted as people may see it,is for God to continue in his manifestations in your life.Therefore rejoice for your name has been written in the book of life.Remember the early christians were also treated like this.Be courageous God is with u.

Politics in the house of God! What exactly has this man done to deserve all these? He has been in that parish for years, why didn’t they transfer him if truly that’s a normal routine for catholic priest? Is father Mbaka the only priest that has ever contributed in the political affairs of this nation? What about cardinal Olubumi Okogie and other priest that are always on social media supporting corrupt government officials that have looted all the finance of this nation. The eternal truth here is that Rev MBAKA is being persecuted for his prophesy before the presidential election and for voicing out that corrupt politicians wants Buhari dead bicos of his fight on corruption, so as to enable them continue with their corrupt practices. Sir the God almighty who elevated u will surely vindicate u in Jesus name. All those that gang up against will never go unpunished. Many corrupt politician, false prophets, priest are yet to recover frm the shock ever since Buhari emerged as the president. Shame on all the evil men that does not want the progress of this nation.

This decision by Nigerian Catholic authority to silence a great man of God for his prophetic warnings is outrageous aND unbelievable. Our religious institutions have turned to political machine where the mighty and powerful can humiliate and silence those with different views, ideas, and spiritual gifts. Rev. Mbaka was humiliated by men of Catholic church for issuing a spiritual warning to President Buhari about the intention of the looters of Nigeria treasure who are doing everything physically, spiritually, and politically to stop the corruption probe of PMB admistration. This is a shame of any religion entity. The current Pope Francis picked up a serious fight against the corrupt practices of Angentina government in the early 80s, great Pope John Paul did not humiliate him then, instead he was smuggled out of his home country for safety. Today, Cardinal Francis is now Pope Francis. They were even open about their intention to disgrace, humble, and humiliate father Mbaka to the extend that they moved him away from his parish to one room to serve under another priest. Thank God that I’m not a catholic believer, but an evangelical Christian. Pastor Chris Okotie, Pastor Adeboye, Tunde Bakare, Chris Oyekilomeh, Oyedapo, and other can freely express themselves in public because they founded their various churches, and they are not under any such authority in Europe. Why should Rev. Father Mbaka go through such humiliation by Nigerian Catholic Authority for freely execising his God’s given right of freedom of speech? Someone should notify the Vatican of this great injustice and humiliation of a priest in a corrupt Nigeria.

Rev fr Ejike Mbaka should face the work and stop inciting sentiments from people who do not know how the church is operated, transfer is part of the work also he swore to canonical obedience, where you send me i will go, let him build the new place since he is called of God, whoever needs mangoes should locate the tree wherever it is positioned.

It is surprising hw some ppl thinks. Anyone can just stand up and say nonesense bcos he or she has a fone. All u saying nonesense abt fr mbaka, just hold ur peace cos he is a man of God n he is been treated badly. if i may ask why nw dis transfer n demotion after so many years if nothing is wrong abt dis. It is not surprising anyone bcos d forefront of our leadership nw in d catholic church now is dominated by politicians, cardinals bishops n priest. so why wont they be used to achieve der evil via d church. God knws it all anyway n d evil dat men do go after dem.

Rev Fr Mbaka is a true man of God, no doubt. But as a Christian, he was not supposed to be used as a tool in the hands of the unbeleivers(Muslims)to make mockery of the Christians. The Spirit of a prophet is under the Prophet, so he went to far. I just pray that it doesnt get worse than what he is facing now,May his Grace be sufficient for you Fr Mbaka.
