African Pastor’s Mind-Blowing Revelation about Israel with Charles Ikutiminu!

Author: Gateway Center for Israel November 27, 2024 Duration: 44:30

Can revelation about the importance of Israel and the Jewish people radically change your understanding of, and relationship with God - even after 30 years as a Christian? Meet Charles Ikutiminu, originally from Nigeria, who now serves as Global Ministries Pastor (Africa) at Gateway Church. He enthusiastically shared with David Blease the spiritual and theological journey he and his wife began as they simply obeyed God's leading to pray daily for Israel.

Charles describes how this obedience to pray opened up a whole new perception about the relevance of the Hebrew Scripture, the fear of the Lord, and the character of the Father. Subsequent trips to Israel and Ethiopia influenced a profound paradigm shift in their pastoral ministry. This resulted in their rejection of antisemitic Replacement Theology (believing the Church had replaced Israel) and a full embrace of God's biblical priorities and heart for His Chosen People.


Hosted by Nic Lesmeister and David Blease, Covenant & Conflict is a production of the Gateway Center for Israel. This podcast engages directly with the tensions between timeless scriptural foundations and the pressing questions of our time. Conversations with various experts navigate complex terrain-from social ethics to geopolitical currents-always anchored in a covenantal framework. The aim isn't to sidestep difficulty but to enter into it thoughtfully, demonstrating how a rooted perspective can inform rather than inflame our dialogues. You'll hear nuanced explorations that resist easy answers, prioritizing depth and understanding over rhetorical point-scoring. It’s for those who suspect that ancient wisdom has urgent, practical things to say about modern conflicts and who appreciate dialogue that seeks clarity amidst complexity. Tune in for episodes that challenge assumptions and encourage a more considered engagement with the world, all through a lens that takes both text and context seriously. The result is a consistently thoughtful audio experience that stands apart in the realms of faith and culture.
