Methodist minister Greg Obong-Oshotse marks his publishing debut with the release of ‘If the Angelic Postman Never Knocks on My Door’ a poetry collection presenting the essence of discipleship in a commitment to Christ…at all cost!

The publication centres on the sovereignty of God over people’s lives, highlighting how one’s discipleship does not give a warrant either to presume upon God’s love or to usurp his power, whilst aiming to help readers understand the ‘gold standard’ of the calling of the disciple of Jesus Christ: commitment at all cost, plus learning to rejoice in God’s sovereign will for them, whatever it may be.

“Contrary to popular teachings that your discipleship is a ticket to an earthly paradise, you are required to die to self and follow your Lord Jesus Christ at whatever cost,” he shares. “This book cuts to the chase, clarifies the path, and will reroute many sincerely deceived disciples, while at the same time helping new disciples to avoid the pitfalls of deception from false teachings.”

A snippet from ‘If the Angelic Postman Never Knocks on My Door’:- Each of us must fit into / His general will for humanity and His entire creation / as well as His specific will for each individual / as He works His overarching purpose out / and does so according to His divine plan and timing.

God must be sovereign, / For He is the Creator and Master. / He is the author and finisher of our faith. / He is the Lord of Lords and King of kings. / He is the beginning and the end of all things.

After graduating with first class honours in political science at the University of Ife, in Nigeria, Obong-Oshotse became a journalist working for national and international newspapers and magazines before serving the Nigerian government first as press secretary to country’s first lady Maryam Babangida, and later as chief executive of the national Centre for Women Development in Abuja before returning to journalism.

He worked in the U.K. as Europe and North America editor for Nigeria’s Daily Independent newspapers, from which he was called to British Methodism; training for the Methodist ministry at Wesley House in Cambridge where he has degrees in theology - from the universities of Cambridge and Wales.

‘If the Angelic Postman Never Knocks on My Door’ (published by WestBow Press) is available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
