Father Mbaka: moved out of Enugu

Controversial Catholic priest, Reverend Father Ejike Camillus Mbaka has been moved out of Christ The King Parish in Enugu to a new  duty post at Our Lady Parish, Umuchigbo, Njinike, a journey of about four hours.

He moved to the new station on Saturday accompanied by hundreds of his parishioners,  admirers and well wishers.

 

Mbaka, just like his followers in the Adorations Ministry,  believes that that his posting is a witch hunt.

He told the crowd “I know we are going to suffer between now and a few months to come. I am going to suffer and suffer. I know that.

“I’m going to suffer because I have no place to put my head. I am going to suffer because I have no place to keep the Adoration Ministry’s assets.

“I know I’m going to suffer. Fortunately, it is going to happen in the month of lent. So, I am going to use my exit here as a Lenten observance but Jesus said it all in John 16:20 to his apostles that you will be sorrowful and the world will be rejoicing but very soon I will turn your sorrow to joy.

“But for now I know you are going to suffer. The Adoration Ministry is passing through suffering right now even though I’ve accepted that is the will of God. Is the will of God through suffering? It is a mega suffering

“The quantum of the assets of the Adoration Ministry is the only thing I am bothered about for now.

“Where am I going to keep them? I am going to stay in one small room that has only one small bed, one small table, little toilet and bathroom. So where am I going to keep all the adoration assets?

“My clothing and books I can keep in the car or somebody’s house but where will I keep these assets that I have given to the Catholic church of Enugu?

“But I say may God take the glory and whoever that has offended me, I have forgiven.

“I won’t fight anybody or even dream of battling anybody. If anybody allows the devil to use him, the same that advised you to make a mistake will laugh at you when you cry over the error. The baby is born, there is no going back.

“We are moving out. We have been doing it and we will do it again. Moses was going out with a rod in his hand, Mbaka is moving out with his Bible and this nobody can take away from me.”

“I am giving God the glory and I welcome the church’s choice and action with absolute acceptance and obedience.

“So there is no negation to what God has approved and what the church suggested. Nobody should see me as a recalcitrant priest. I am not.

“I have taken an oath of obedience and I stand on it. I pray God to bless all of you who in one way or the other have supported the work of God here and those who have sincerely allowed God to use him or her for the work we did here all these years.

“God will bless the people of God here and reward you according

to your labour. The parish is not going to collapse; the church will continue to grow.”

“God has planned a future and hope out of disaster and where I am going. He will go before me to level mountains.

“The Bible says that He will deliver me from all evil; He will keep my going out and coming in both now and forever… I am praying that God will keep his church and my fellow adorers so that our journey to Umuchigbo will be a journeyof Israelites out of Egypt.

“Some of them were grumbling leaving Egyptian soil because they were having the phobia for the unknown but

I am telling you people as a courageous leader, do not be afraid.

“We are moving and in not distant time, you people are going to smile.”

    Although I am not a catholic, I do know that transfers are common in the church. Please, may I know why this one has generated much dust even from the political class? The church, I think, should be careful not to allow APC make it their ally. If transfer is a punishment, then other catholic priests have suffered it without comments.

    people should know that, despite Rev father mbaka been a priest, he is still a human being who has feelings like any other person. please we should mind what we say especially as it concerns this subject. As for me, am not set to criticize any one, God knows the best for him (mbaka) . Father mbaka pls, this should not kill your moral, rather it should be a kind of spiritual power to where God wants you to be.

    I strongly agree with your comment iheduba,when God called Moses to lead his people out of Egypt,he only complained of his speech-manners and not the wilderness.If really God called him.this is the right time for him to exploit the universe and not just the nation. there is time for purpose and I think people should leave Ohaneze out of this,The catholic council can not be influenced politically by any group.

  • iheduba noel says:

    well, our dear Rev father mbaka, i salute your courage, through u lots of people were saved in CKC, And i want to tell u that God wants you to go to emene and transform lives. Therefore, go and proclaim the salvation of God there. God bless u and i
