The Effect of Sound Teaching of the Word of God on the Church and Political Stability in Nigeria

The emphasis of Christ’s Great commission is on teaching of the word and making disciple of all nations (Matthew 28: 19 – 20). An effective dissemination of God’s word to the people would definitely lead to conversion of souls who will (because of the fear of God) not do anything to impede the peace of the society. The early church is used as a model in this work. The church started on the day of Pentecost and through the effective teachings of the apostles about three thousand souls were added to the church in one day. The burden of the writer of this paper therefore is to present the effects of adequate teaching of God’s word on church growth and political stability in Nigeria. The historical method was adopted for this work and recommends that teaching of the word of God must be the utmost priority of every Christian church in our contemporary times. This teaching could be achieved through sermons, discipleship, Sunday school classes and Bible study.
