On Sunday, Rt Rev. Nkechi Nwosu was installed as the nation’s first female bishop by the Methodist Church of Nigeria.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Nwosu was installed at the Christ Methodist Cathedral in Jos by His Grace, Most Reverend Dr Joseph Nnonah, the Archbishop of Kaduna.

In a brief conversation with reporters, the newly appointed bishop stated that “God is using what has happened in the Methodist Church of Nigeria to tell the whole world that the time to release women to fulfill their destiny has come.

She asserted that cooperation between women and men was necessary to carry out God’s will.

“God had to create the woman to balance Adam out because He knew that if He only created him, He wouldn’t be able to grant him his heart’s desire.

Therefore, regardless of gender, “man must put their hands together to serve God” in order for the word of God to reach the ends of the earth. This is because God is a spirit.

He said that everyone who believes in Him and is led by the spirit of God is the son of God, so the flesh we are seeing is only for our comfort.

“Therefore, a son of God is every child of God who is born again and resides in the Holy Spirit.

And she added, “And I believe we will conquer more for the Lord than what we have done when men or women of God in charge of denominations understand this.

Nwosu urged Nigerians to pay attention to the voice of God, who is currently aware of the best candidate to lead the nation in the general elections of 2023.

She asserted that the Permanent Voters Card is the source of Nigerians’ power and conscience (PVC).

“We must all go out there and obey God, pay attention to the voice of God, and follow his instructions.

Do that, she continued, “so that God will use us and whoever He wants to put in that position to bring Nigeria back to a position of pride in Africa and the world.”

God created all people equally, according to His Eminence, Dr Samuel Uche, Prelate Emeritus, Methodist Church of Nigeria, under whose leadership Nwosu was elected bishop.

According to Uche, Jesus Christ’s birth as a woman elevated the status of women.

Since a man is a he man and a woman is a she man in Hebrew, we are all men, in my opinion there is no difference between a man and a woman.

Additionally, we taught in the Methodist Church that those who have reached menopause and are no longer capable of bearing children are still capable of holding responsible office in the church.

They possess the necessary skills and are also methodical, resourceful, and spiritual.

So, he continued, “We decided that the Methodist Bishop should be a woman, and I know that the President of the British Church was a woman from Ireland some time ago.”

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Nwosu will lead the Jos Diocese. (NAN)
