Church Branding- Part 1


Branding is a subject that has taken root in the organizational structure of the corporate world of Nigeria in the last 10-15 years. Churches are not left out of taking advantage of this very key aspect of an organization.

Simply put, branding is how people see your organization. While we cannot fully determine what people say about our church, we have a big role in determining the kind of things that people say about us.

Whether we are aware of the brand of our church or not, it doesn't change the fact that every single church or ministry has a brand. So, it is only wise to take charge of this vital area so as to get the desired results.

The brand of your church determines many things in your church. A very key thing that the brand of your church decides is the kind of people that you attract. There are churches that attract illiterates irrespective of their location. It is as a result of their brand. The same goes for those that attract youths, elderly people or children.

We often blame this on publicity or our location. The major decider of the kind of people you attract is how you look like to them. I can decide whether to attend a particular church or not by simply checking out their brand even without attending at all.

Unconsciously, it is our brand that decides how much influence we have. For example, a denomination like Christ Apostolic Church (C.A.C) has a brand that attends majorly to illiterates and semi-literates. The influence of that church is based on the kind of brand that they have.

There are many things that determines the brand of a church or ministry. I will enumerate them in part 2 of this series!

Prophetic Perspective: Israel vs Iran

The middle east situation between Israel and Palestine is a very complex one that can be viewed from many sides. Whichever perspective you choose, there will always be an unresolved issue. It is exactly a year that Hamas, a terrorist group in Palestine, dealt the biggest blow ever to the Israeli state, killing over 1000 Jews and abducting about 251. It sent a shock wave round the world. The October 7, 2023 attacks kick-started a war that has escalated to involve Lebanon, Syria, Qatar and Iran. Israel has gone all out attacking Palestine in a wave that many world leaders have been cautioning them to consider the civilians. ORIGIN OF THE WAR The origin of the war in the middle east can be traced back to the 1920s when Britain, in conjunction with the Arabs defeated the Ottoman military in Jerusalem and took the city as a colony of the British royalty.  It wasn't long before the British decided to release the land to the Arabs that fought alongside them. But, there was another set of ...

Nigeria In The Bible

As we approach another celebration of the independence of the nation Nigeria, I will like us to know some things about this nation that the LORD has shown me. If a man wants to know the details of God's will for his life, he would need to read the things that have been written or said about him by God. Prophecy is one of the ways that the will of God can be known. Prophecy is voicing God's will. This same principle applies to territories as territories also have a will established by God for them to fulfill. In the scriptures, we see details of many nations that existed in that time. Nations like Israel, Egypt, Syria, Edom, Philistine, Babylon and in the new testament, we saw countries like Italy and Spain which still exists till today. Most of the nations that were mentioned in the old testament bear a new name today. There were some nations mentioned in the old testament, but their names were not specified. God, through the prophets spoke about the destiny of some na...

EndSARS: Prophetic Intelligence

  Some moments ago, the LORD reminded me of the things He shared with me during the protests. As usual, when I hear of an event in Nigeria or on the global scene, I would go to God for prophetic intelligence. I have always shared how that prophetic (spiritual) intelligence is the highest form of reality. When we seek God's counsel about an issue in our life, family or work, we are seeking prophetic intelligence. If we seek it for different issues in our life, how much more would it be of greater premium when we seek it for happenings in our nation. The ENdSARS protests started without any prior notice. There was no signal to it in the physical and it gathered momentum within days so much that many were surprised that Nigerians could stand up for their right. As the protests were going on, I went to God to find out His thoughts about the protests. In following God in the last days, many have missed the trail because they arrange things based on the knowledge of good and evil. We...
