A profile of a sermon preached by Archbishop Nicholas Okoh, primate of Nigeria, in London, in which he described an "attack" by Muslims in Africa aimed at "taking over" the continent by tempting new converts with the promise of polygamy and correspondingly high numbers of progeny. The sermon was preached in July, 2009. An MS Word transcription of the sermon can be downloaded from the Times site here: http://j.mp/FQAPd

“They spend a lot of money, even in places where they don’t have
congregations, they build mosques, they build hospitals, they build anything. -
“They come to Africans and say, ‘Christianity is asking you to marry only one
wife. We will give you four!’ ” Archbishop Okoh described this as
“evangelism by mass-production”. - 3 more annotations...
Evangelist Says Revival Has Hit South Africa
From the article: South African evangelical preacher Rodney Howard-Browne "worries that many U.S. Christians are 'fair weather' believers who will serve God only as long as it is comfortable. 'There's not a message preached about giving up your all for Jesus,' he said. 'It's all about you can have a better life and everything's going to be fine and dandy. Jesus said if you love your life, you're going to lose it.' He said in the last six months the U.S. has advanced socialistic policies that could lead to religious persecution, and eventually set the stage for a one-world government and the introduction of the Antichrist. 'I don't think the American church is ready for what's coming because the preachers are preaching each other's sermons; they are prophesying each other's prophecies,' he said. 'People are asleep at the wheel... The only thing we can do is bring in the harvest of souls.'"

Evangelist Rodney Howard-Browne -
With unemployment at 65 percent in the nation's Eastern Cape, which includes East London, and hundreds contracting HIV each day, Howard-Browne said many South Africans are desperate for change. He believes the "fire" will continue even after the meetings end on Sunday, which will mark 50 days of consecutive revival services.
He said God told him to end the meetings after 50 days because that number speaks of the biblical year of Jubilee, which was celebrated every 50 years, and Pentecost, which means "the 50th day" in Greek.
"What is happening here is not going to stop," Howard-Browne said. "The people are desperate enough here, they're not going to let this fire go out. And they realize it's not something that revolves around these 50 days. It's not about a meeting; it's about a passion."
Howard-Browne, who came to the U.S. as a missionary with his wife, Adonica, more than 20 years ago, believes a similar revival will happen in the U.S. within the next two to four years "as people get desperate."
