PHOTONEWS: Resilient Christian Worshipers Return To Bombed Kaduna Church For Sunday Service
It was an rare sight of courage and resilience today in Kaduna as hundreds of worshippers at Saint Rita's Catholic Church in Kaduna town return to the church for a Sunday mass. The church was attacked by a suicide bomber last Sunday killing 8 and injuring over 120 churchgoers.
In a church service led by the injured parish, Reverend Fr Mike Boni Bazza, the worshippers said no amount of bombings will make them abandon their church and religion.
A member of the church, Mr. Matthew Bala who sent pictures of their service to SaharaReporters, said in a telephone interview noted “No amount of bombings or attacks will make us forsake our faith and christianity indeed. Yes they attacked us like I told you last week, but in God we trust.
The church came before Boko Haram, and it will outlast the sect, so it shall be. They have no control over us and their days are numbered going by their act."
Bala also added that all injured members of the church that were discharged from hospital attended today's church service, also present were hundreds of local and foreign journalists and other sympathizers.
i was reading my bible few
i was reading my bible few days ago and i came across Jeremiah 1:14-19 14"Then the Lord said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land. 16 And i will utter my judgement against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands. 19 And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the Lord, to deliver thee.
Christians in the north trust your God (christians and muslim) no matter what happens you shall prevail.
The blood of the innocent that is split on the land will arise and cry out one day and seek vengeance upon all the wicked and non non *i repeat* will go unpunished #enufsaid
AMEN. We the Southern
AMEN. We the Southern Christians are praying for you. God Bless you. Those who are fighting Christians are FIGHTING GOD! If they do not repent , they will all-including their sponsors, who we know, GO TO HELL.
ONLY JESUS CHRIST IS THE WAY TO GOD.
My brethren be comforted-He that will come will come soon. He will not tarry. Then your joy shall be full, Amen.
This is beautiful
This is what god expects of those whom he has allowed the devil to kill and torment . The Northern CHRISTIANS HAVE PASSED THE TEST LIKE JOB WHO WAS FAITHFUL .GOD WILL SURELY BLESS ALL OF YOU .AMEN NOW THE DEVIL AND HIS CHILDREN BOKO HARAM RE HELL FIRE BOUND .
OSIRIS DONT DABBLE INTO WHAT YOU DONT UNDERSTAND
WHAT YOU DID WAS QUOTES OUT OF CONTEXT. NO VERSE IN THE QURAN OR THE BIBLE OR ANY RELIGIOUS TEXT CAN STAND ON ITS OWN. THERE IS ALWAYS A CONTEXT.
TO POINT YOU IN THE DIRECTION OF UNDERSTANDING THE CHAPTER YOU QUOTED, IT IS CHAPTER 9 IN THE QURAN. IT KNOWN AS SURATUL BARAAT OR TAUBAT. IT IS A DECLARATION OF WAR. ITS NAME IS TAUBAT OR REPENTANCE, IT IS ALSO KNOWN AS BARAAT OR REBELLION. IT IS THE ONLY CHAPTER IN THE QURAN NOT TO START WITH BASMALA OR " IN THE NAME OF ALLAH MOST GRACIOUS, MOST MERCIFUL". THIS SHOULD INDICATE TO YOU ITS PURPOSE. AS TO WHY THE QURAN ASK THE MUSLIMS TO DECLARE WAR, YOU BETTER GET DOWN TO THAT HISTORY AND BRING TRUTH TO THE PEOPLE.
I CAN QUOTE PORNOGRAPHIC TEXTS FROM THE BIBLE BUT I KNOW IT DOES NOT REPRESENT THE WHOLE BIBLE AND I WILL NOT DECEIVE THE PEOPLE WITH THAT. QUOTE OTHER VERSES IN THE QURAN THAT SAY CHRISTIAN AND JEWISH WOMEN, FOOD ETC ARE LAWFUL TO MUSLIMS. QUOTE THE VERSE THAT SAYS AMONG JEWS AND CHRISTIANS THERE ARE RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE.
U are the fool
U are the fool who cannot even spell correctly! May God forgive you. You better convert to Christianity so you don't go to hell!
May God have mercy on u.
May God have mercy on u.

NAGODI, LEAVE ALLAH FOR THE ARABS!!
First of all, I want to thank you for your apology as regards your incessant usage of capital letters! It shows at least that it´s possible to reason with you.
I have the feeling that you don´t REALLY know your Islam, your Koran and Hadiths. Or you´re deliberately lying and deceiving for Allah, playing Taqiyya!
Or else, you would not say that "there´s no compulsion in religion". That´s a lie. Read these:
Sahih Muslim (19:4294), Bukhari (59:643), Sahih Muslim (1:33)
Then, although you rightly condemned Boko Haram, you said their actions are not backed by Islam. That again is a lie! Boko Haram itself quotes Koran 9:29
to back its actions. And there are many more Suras that command Muslims to kill non-Mulims! Do you really want me to post all of them?
Nagodi, stop being an Arab Abd! I think you´re very intelligent! So, shed your Arab indoctrination. Use your head to explore the truth! Please, google my name and read my articles to avoid unnecessary repetition here.

GOD BE WITH NORTHERN CHRISTIANS
Blessed is the Lord our GOD for all He has done, for He is good and His mercies endure forever. I'm most encouraged by the Faith shown by our Northern Brethren; despite the persecution, attacks and perils, they are still CHRISTIANS.
This is beautiful!
I am deeply touched by this extremely courageous and firm stand for Christ by the Clergy and Laity of St. Rita's Church.
I am proud of you and so are many others across the religious line.
I believe God is touched too!
Kudos!
God help Nigeria.
As the Lord taught us, "
As the Lord taught us, " Forgive them for they know not what they do." There is no greater answer to Boko Haram than the faithfulness of the parshoners of St. Rita's Catholic Church, Kaduna. May the Lord's name be glorified.
big full

I'M SO PROUD OF YOUR COURAGE
This is another epistle from the church in KD,the souls of the departed would sure find rest,thanks for standing firm,our God would not let you guys down.
osiris do unto others ...
i apologise for the capital letters osiris. its instructive however when you accuse me a core sunni muslim of taqiyya. come to think of it we are being paid in our own coins because we accuse the adherent of shiite islam of taqiyya. so when you and kenneth talk of taqiyya i cant help but say we deserve it.
however one thing islam does not allow is lies. especially about religion and daawa. since there is no compulsion in islam why lie? muslims rule spain for 800 years and when they were finally kicked out of catalonia spain was 80% christian. same in india, where they rule for 400 years and when partition came in 1948 india was 80% hindu and sikh.
THE GATE OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL
Neither intimidation nor persecution will ever prevail over the church. The church marches on and the gate of hell shall not prevail in Jesus Name. God bless you.
JESUS IS LORD
No amount of intimidation or persecution would ever prevail over the church. The Church marches on, no gate of hell will ever prevail. Brethren it is well with you in Jesus Name.
Count it all joy my brethren
Count it all joy my brethren when you pass through divers temptations. You will come forth shining as gold. The Lord will keep strengthening you as you run this race. The Lord bless you brethren. Your crown awaits you in heaven. You will be there to receive it in JESUS' name, Amen.
Christainity is the way and truth
What a mighty God we serve, i really respect the faith and courage of these people and i know God is happy with them showing forth the good courage. he will continue to protect and guide his people
Whoa! I am short of Words. May d God of Peace be with u all
May heaven shower the parishioners with peace on all sides. Affliction will not rise a second time in Jesus Name, Amen!
The actions of Boko Haram are unjustifiable. Christians and Muslims alike have condemned it on many forums.
A rare and extreme show of
A rare and extreme show of christian faith and courage at these time. No man can battle with the Lord and win. They can only rage, the lord that never loses a battle will continue to fight for his people.
@ ALL THE CHRISTIANS
When will you realize that you are being fooled by the Oyinbos? Just like Islam is a "religion" fabricated by the Arabs, so is Christianity manufactured by the Whites. It´s all a way of making you "mental slaves"!
As long as Africans are serving foreign gods, they will never have peace: the Arab proxies will continue to massacre the European ones (African Christians!).
Africans would continue to kill themselves and die for foreign, counterfeit gods!
Are Arabs and Europeans dying for you?? Wake up! Your white Jesus has not been able to save you since 2000 years! You´re wasting your time! THINK!!!
Worship YOUR African God, not European or Arab or Asian!
Read my article: "Jonathan & Naija´s Mumu Christians".
NAGODI, STOP YOUR TERRORISM & TAQIYYA!
Nagodi,please, stop terrorizing us with your capital letters!!!! Are you not able to express yourself without SCREAMING at us? Capital letters all the way don´t improve your Islamist hogwash.
Secondly, stop your Taqiyya!! Lying and deceiving for Allah. You know very well that the Koran and the Hadiths are replete with injunctions like "kill the Jews, Christians and Infidels" - non-Muslims!
Lastly,why do you subscribe to the hate cult of the Arab racists? As an African, why don´t you practise your own African religion? Or do you have inferiority complex?
The church is marching on
Boko Haram u are too insignificant to stop the GOSPEL OF JESUS from spreading in northern NIGERIA. You can destroy our structures, kill our brothers and sisters but we will remain steadfast in JESUS. Northern Nigeria is for Jesus to came to release this now that it is too late so the best thing you can do for yourselves and those you claim to love although you still kill them is to runnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn to JESUS. Gidan Uba na yana da fadi saboda haka ku tuba tun da sauran zarafi. Kukan kurciya jawabi ne ga mai hankali
Proud to be a Catholic
Looking at the picture of the boy with plasters all over the back of his head still able to attend Sunday Mass a week after the bomb blast makes to feel proud, very proud to be a Catholic.
Those who preach violence in the name of religion should be ashamed for their actions. What is the human element in those who kill and maim their fellow men and women?
Is it not yet enough?
I am not against any religion. I admire love among humanity. Why should innocent people keep on dying? I am convinced that the issue of Boko Haram has more political foundations than religious connection. Many children have been made orphans. Many couples have been made widows and widowers. Many citizens have been deformed. Many families have been made childless. Children have died. Innocent babies cry because their parents died in a bomb attack. But is it not enough? If Fedral Government wronged you, why not face the FG and leave innocent people in peace. How do you drive joy in seeing innocent citizens surffer? I believe in wise words that said "if the truth cannot be found among us, where else can it be found?" STOP killing innocent citizens who have never enjoyed the national cake. STOP! STOP!! STOP!!! Tears, agonies, mournings, blood and misery of these innocent citizes are coming for justice. May God Bless Nigeria
Shame on Buhari and his boys
Shame on Buhari and his boys in Boko haram. No amount of killings would throw fear into the hearts and souls of the masses. Let him come out in 2015 and see how he will win the elections in Nigeria. If he thinks yahaoo boys like Odumakin can be of help to him, then he should go ahead to contest the elections to test his essential commodity popularity
Do not fear he that can destroy the body.......
I salute the faith and courage of these bretheren. The battle is the Lords. Please do not give up as this act has surely strengthened fellow belivers around our troubles Nation!
You are more than conquerors
The battle is already won. You are more than conquerors. You prayers will be heard before they are said. Now I fear for the enemies of God, the boko haram and their sponsors, knowing that hell will be their portion right here on earth. I pity them.
