Arch-Minister of God’s Kingdom Mission, Mr Roland Ogene, has told Christians to desist from taking traditional chieftaincy titles, which, he said, are linked to Africa traditional religion, institutions and deities.

Ogene held that such titles  do not reflect the will of God  and  biblical teachings, enjoining  those who already had chieftaincy titles to disown them before death so as to make their paths right with God.

The cleric, who gave the charge during a two-day annual Conference of Laity of the church, warned that traditional chieftaincy regalia must not be worn to church for any reason.

He admonished participants to be good citizens of the Kingdom by keeping the Commandments of God and be exemplary in every thing capable of moving the church forward. He commended the Council of Laity under the chairmanship of Mr. Mike Orugbo for its steadfastness and active role in church growth, Orugbo, earlier in his address, decried that Nigeria was passing through difficult times which required the prayer of Christians.
