The Bishop explained about the Synod and the theme and equally invited the Igwe and his cabinet to be part of the Synod during the presentation of the address and Sunday services.

The Bishop celebrated the opening service of Holy Eucharistic.
In his sermon, the Very Revd Prof Pic Onwuchei reminded the people that the theme of the Synod, Fight the Good Fight of Faith: An Imperative for all Christians now or never is not a grammar but the topic of the time. He made reference to the story of David defeating Goliath. He said after David had become king, the Philistines returned again to fight the Israelis for the same portion of land. He said that the land they were dragging was not empty but was filled with barley.
The Very Revd Prof Pic, who is currently the Sub Dean of the Cathedral Church of St Luke's Jos, added that the bread with which Jesus fed the five thousand was a barley bread. He pointed out that the devil knows that our faith contains all that is needed for our survival, our sustenance and our nourishment. He said that the devil has attacked the discipline that produced the old generation Christians, where the parents planted godliness in the children with the teachers in school playing another role in that direction.
He said that when the Philistines came to attack, others ran away apart from David and Elezar. He said that many Christians have abandoned the faith and want to do it like the world. He called on the Synod members to join this fight of faith. He concluded with a call for repentance.
After the communion service,
The Ven Onyebuchi Agubesi, of Ohaji Egbema, facilitated the Bible Study.

The Synod has since gone into the plenary session.

2026 AMCF CONVENTION: BISHOP IKEAKOR JOINS CONVENTION, IN ENCOURAGED FATHERS TO REMAIN CHRISTIANS IN PRACTICE

The annual convention of the Anglican Christian Men's fellowship (AMCF) of the Anglican Diocese of Amichi is currently taking place at Christ Church Amichi on the theme: Heathens in Church Uniform: An urgent call for re-evangelisation and proper discipleship of church members.

The convention which had fathers across the Diocese in attendance also witnessed the presence of the Grand Patron of the Diocesan AMCF, the Rt Revd Ephraim Okechukwu Ikeakor. The Bishop while addressing the convention commended the well articulate and properly presented address by the Diocesan AMCF President, Bro Izuchukwu Ezenwanne. He commended the high turn out by the fathers to the convention. He appreciated the chaplain, Ven Godson Ugochukwu and noted that he has done a great job since his inception as the chaplain of the AMCF.

Speaking on the theme, the Bishop explained the reason why the church has distanced himself from shooting guns during burial was because it was an ancient heathenic practice where the pagans believe that a dead person has a barricade on his way to eternity. He said because of that belief, they invented shooting guns to open their roads to eternity which contradicts the scriptures. He noted that there is a great dermacation between Christianity and idolatry.

The Bishop further explained the issue of killing cow for the dead people who died years back. He said that the heathens believes that if you don't kill cow for your late parents, they will not get their own portion in the world of the dead. He said it is known as necromancy which is the act of consulting the dead on behalf of the living thereby connecting the living to the covenant of the dead.

Bishop Ikeakor said that he as Bishop did not ban masquerading or ozo title taking but he said that nobody can claim to be a Christian and member of the body of Christ and yet continue in the practices of the heathens. He made it clear that those who call themselves Christians must live according to the name. He encouraged the fathers to be the leaders by examples.

The Bishop during this period responded to critical questions by the fathers.

The convention witnessed a lot of teachings by Ven ThankGod Agu, Ven Chika Mbeyi, Ven Henry Amobi, Revd Chinedu Chukwujekwu and Revd Timothy Aniobi. The president of the AMCF, Bro Izuchukwu Ezenwanne also read his address to the Convention.

The activities of the Convention continue as they conclude with Thanksgiving service on Sunday.

He used the opportunity to warn those people who are daring God by going into the church to steal properties belonging to the church to desist as well as confess. However, He said that if such people continue to brag about such an evil act, that heaven over them will be closed permanently.
