Toronto Junction in Uratta, Owerri North Local Government Area of Imo
State, over proximity.
As reported by Vanguard,
yesterday in Owerri,
confirmed that the dispute
started when a Pentecostal
church, Mountain of Conquest
Assembly, was laying the foundation of its church close
to that of God's Pillar Power
Ministry.
The head of the God's Pillar
Power Ministry allegedly felt
uncomfortable and so made
efforts to resist the erection
of the new church very close
to his. i A member of God's Pillar,
who spoke to Vanguard on
the grounds of anonymity,
said: "It is not proper that a
church is located close to the
entrance of our church. "Is this the only land suitable for
this man of God to establish
his own church? If he is
looking for members, he can
get them even when he is not in this arena. We think this is just to make
his fellow man of God
uncomfortable."
However, a
member of Mountain of
Conquest Assembly, who
spoke to Vanguard, was of the view that it was divine
for them to establish their
church where they have dug
their foundation. According to the worshipper, "we have
prayed and were directed, divinely, to come and
establish our church here and
nobody born of human can
stop it. We are not afraid because
we have God and He will
continue to guide us. "Why
should people fight over land
that does not belong to them?
He is a tenant here and we are also tenant. So, why
grumbling over nothing."
