WELCOME TO THE NIGERIAN BAPTIST CONVENTION
The Nigerian Baptist Convention, which Thomas Jefferson Bowen started in 1850, has grown into over 10,000 Churches with about 3,000,000 baptized members and up to 6.5 million non-baptized members spread across the nation. This denominational entity has metamorphosed into twenty-three Conferences (ecclesiastical regions) in Nigeria alone. The work has spread to several other African nations including Republic of Benin, Cote D’Ivoire, Mali, Sierra Leone, Mozambique, Chad, Niger, and Burkina Faso. The United Kingdom and the United States of America are also experiencing the influence of its growth and expansion.

As a national corporate body, the Nigerian Baptist Convention has the task of sharing the truth of salvation to all and sundry through our Churches, Associations, Conferences and Ministries. To this end, the following slogan states our vision: EMPOWERING CHURCHES FOR KINGDOM GROWTH. We employ a holistic approach to minister to humankind – men, women, and children. We also minister to meet special needs of students, youths, refugees, prisoners, natural disaster victims.

On this site, you will find sermons, Bible Studies, as well as news items for your use. Please do not hesitate to contact us online. Alternatively, you can reach us through our postal address:

THE LORD HAS REDEEMED
Isaiah 48:17-22

“Declare this with a shout of joy, proclaim it, send it forth to the end of the earth; say “the Lord has redeemed his servant Jacob!” Isaiah 48:20b, RSV
 
Isaiah 48:12 says, “Listen to me, O Jacob, Israel whom I have called.” From Genesis 32 account, we know that Israel is the covenant name of Jacob and that is what believers in Christ are today by redemption in Christ Jesus__covenant people.

Just like the Lord God redeemed the Israelites who returned from Babylonian captivity, He has redeemed us from being slaves to sin through the blood of Jesus Christ. It is however a pity that many who claim they are God’s children still wallow in sin. Yet there are others who still carry the guilt and shame of their past sins. It is true that there is no peace for the wicked (v. 22) but if you have sincerely and genuinely confessed your sins, repented of them and renounced them, the Lord has redeemed you. Rise and shout for joy and share your testimony like the hymn writer, “Redeemed! I love to proclaim it, (I am) redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, His child forever I am.”
