THE FIRST ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT AND FOUNDER OF EL THEOLOGICAL COLLEGE.
Lovely greetings to you all in Jesus name – Amen.
El Theological is established to train gospel ministers for effective gospel ministry. It has a task to correct the erroneous preachings that have marred the present day pulpits and the church at large. It has succeeded in building and equipping the students academically, charismatically and spiritually. The students can bear witness that El Theological College is the best, the greatest and the model for theological education in Nigeria. The college belongs to God while we are only servants of God to do what he says.
International Institute of Missions in its target aims at restoring spirituality, spirit of Missions and Biblical Methods of Evangelism. It has also succeeded in bringing the students to a mature and active positions in the ministry. International institute of Missions is a practical Bible College that is born to restore the forgotten issues in the pulpit which were the major emphasis of Jesus and the apostles. These forgotten issues are the preaching and teaching on salvation from sin which contradict the false preaching on evil prophecies. It is preaching on the rapture to heaven which is different from VISAS to travel to America, preaching about kingdom instead of empire on earth. International Institute of Missions is the Bible College of the day.
Our major aim is to make the students to capture their potentials, discover their divine assignments and score their ministerial goals. God has been helping us to achieve these and our present students are our witnesses in this matter. There is one thing I should boast of and that is the fact that our lecturers through my indoor tutorship are the most academic lecturers in theological education in this part of the country.
About our growth, we started without any student, but today we have many students and many campuses in Nigeria and abroad. We have growing campuses in Abuja, Kaduna, Aba, Obigbo, Warri, Port Harcourt, Eberi Omuma, Yenagoa. Aba second campus. We are planning to reach Enugu, Umuahia, Owerri, Orlu and Uyo any moment from now.
About our vision, focus and academic insight, we have many plans in view and shall accomplish them soon by the grace of God. Below are many things we are targeting, pursuing and focusing and others at hand which are on making.
- We want to make our library the biggest, the largest, the best Christian library in Abia State, which shall serve as Christian researching centre.
- We shall build students and staff canteen for the feeding pleasure of all in the campus even the visitors to the college.
- The college bookshop shall be second to none in Abia State but shall serve as the biggest, largest, the most famous and the best Christian Bookshop and Bible centre in Abia State.
- There shall be a first aid centre in the campus for the immediate care of the injured persons, the fever prone persons and those that may need some aid or special attention on that.
- There shall be a big provision store where both the students, the staff and visitors shall make their shopping or buy their needed provisions and other domestic items.
- El Theological College shall have a POS (financial home) where people shall withdraw, deposit and transfer all their monetary transactions to avoid the risk of travelling with cash everytime and where.
We are really appealing to you to send your members, relations and friends and well-wishers who are called to our Bible College if you want them to be more useful in God’s hand and to discover their God given assignments on earth. We shall groom them and help them to be true instruments in God’s Vineyard.
We are not only training the students, we make them to be more reasonable and useful. As we ‘re already indicated in the early pages of this book. We have mission fields and plan to reach unchurched communities. W also care for the widows, train the children of helpless widows, care for the orphans and abandoned children, help the sick, the prisoners and the poor with foods, clothes and other needs. We are missionary oriented college and we also have an orphanage home caring humanitarian foundation.
Our present vision is to send called men and women to rural dwellers for mission works, to unchristian communities and to untouched areas of this world. You can help in sending some of these missionaries to do God’s work where there are no churches. We have decided to train poor ministers free of charge who are called but have no money to train themselves. You can be an instrument to sponsor such indigent students to fulfill their divine assignments.
Our international outreach covers many countries of West Africa where we have students. The Bible college has trained and is still training students from Kenya, Ghana, Ivory Coast and Cameroun. Our input is our witness while you are our co-labourer in this gospel ministry.
My appreciation goes to the tireless administrative Council of this college, the governing council, the academic staff, our students and all of you that are here today. I must personally thank my wife Mrs. Uriel Ononuju, my children, the rector and registrar, with the chairman of the governing council. May God bless you all in Jesus name.
My eyes are open to see some of you who can volunteer to train some poor widows children in primary or secondary schools, who among you can take a responsibility of training some orphans and caring for them. We have an orphanage where motherless and helpless children are cared. These works of saving and caring for souls are our fathers business, we shall either be involved in persons or send our substitutes.
Can you give cash or support us with any gospel equipment to do what God wants us to do? Can you donate Gospel Van or its substitute? Which area can you challenge God today?
How many widows can you help us feed in a month?
Remember, the doer and the givers have equal rewards from God. I am sure God will never leave you unblessed if you care and support His works.
I am seriously appealing you to see God’s work with us as a divine business, we are not advocating for the money that would make us rich but money that would make God’s work great and successful. I am praying for the blessings of God upon you as you give to God. May God take you safely to your different homes as you go in Jesus name.
Thank you and God bless you all.

El Theological College is seriously against the present apostasy of the Church and frowns at the present backsliddeness of the ministers who engage in occult practices, polygamous marriages, lifeless sermons, avaricious ministries and all acrobatic false miracles in our days.
El Theological College is against Church splitting, fighting and court cases that have engulfed our churches and ministries nowadays.
To achieve the best out of the students, El Theological College has mapped out some strategies in the school to help the students among which are the following.
- CHARISMATIC LECTURES: This lecture is also called presidential talk which comes once a week when the president Rev. Dr. Emma Ononuju occupies a two hour lecture aiming at developing, encouraging, building and equipping the students with greater insight to motivate them discover what God bestowed in them and help them use such potentials in their churches and ministries to the glory of our God only.

In this practical ministry El Theological College trained team (ministers for healing, deliverance, counseling, salvation, restoration and people for the general miracles of the oppressed and the needy.
- PRAYER MEETINGS: We have four official types and periods of prayers. One is called the chain prayers which involves every student and goes by group and group which starts by 12 midnight and ends by 4pm every Tuesday. Another one is chapel prayers which is every Wednesday between 12 noon and 2pm with fasting involving every student in the college.

The morning prayer is by 5am till 5.30am everyday, while the closing prayer is by 10pm till 10.30pm before going to bed for the day in the hostel. The fourth prayer of the student is his private prayer which he chooses his best time at his best place with his needed prayer topics. Every student must be involved on each of the above stipulated prayers unless where necessary excuses emerged
- PRACTICAL EVANGELISM: Every student is called by God and the call is for soul winning and the business of soul winning can never be successful without proper and practical evangelism, therefore evangelism of the students is a compulsory practical ministry in El Theological College. There shall be practical evangelism on Thursday by 4pm – 6pm which every student shall be involved without failure unless necessary and tangible excuse prevails. This exercise is called and known as the practical ministry of the students through which the students talents, charisma, vision, ability and boldness shall be evaluated and tested.

This is where the students preaching and teaching abilities are evaluated, tested ands considered. This is a full month program in El Theological College which accompanies correction, advice and guidance to the preacher. This is the secret of our producing great and powerful preachers from our institution as and totally evidenced generally today.
- WEEKEND MINISTRIES: As a holiness and truth emphasizing college we make oue students to be sincere and be diligent in whatever thing they are doing, therefore every student in our school should write out his weekend programme either in his church, outside his church or in the gospel filed. The activities expected are preaching, teaching, singing or any other way he or she preached the gospel during each weekend. The texts, topics and the place where the programme was held should all be documented and be presented to the director of Christian Ministry every Tuesday, a pastor his or her pastor should sign the document before presenting that to our college. The programme is aimed at helping our students to be serious with God’s work and to expose them to duties before their graduation.

And secular courses in order to win and convert the poor, the rich and the big men of the world for Christ. We want to win the heads of state, governors, the society for Christ whom many pastors and evangelists are afraid to approach because of timidity and low educational background, that’s why we want to train our people to meet the standard of the society in order to win these classes of people.

- Life in the School: Sin is not permitted in the school. The people who claimed to have been called by God must be like Jesus. Therefore students are reminded that holiness is the key, for without which no eyes shall see God Heb. 12:14, Matt. 5: 8. Our lives shall be the epitome of holiness, sincerity, love and obedience. Foolish talks, mockery, rough appearance, seductive appearances, lying, hypocrisy, enmity and fighting are not allowed among the people of God. If any one is discovered to be a sinner, demon agent or a seducer, such one will be sent out of college. The college is purely built on the ground of holiness, love and truth and anyone coming must observe all.
- Study Time: The school starts on Tuesday by 81m with songs and choruses, after which a sermon will be delivered by an appointed person. The chapel service ends 9am, and then the class work begin immediately. And person coming by 8.30am is a late comer and every latecomer will be assigned to do one work or the other as a result of his lateness.
- Students Exemplary Lives: As those who will convert souls, reach the church and lead others. Students of our school should be holy, obedient and represent the school both in open and secret places. Every student must allow the study to pass through him as he also passes through the studies. Every student must allow the (Eltheco) to pass through him or her as he or she has passed through the college. They must make their lives the living epistle which their members will read and believe their preaching. They should be the holy and be the examples of the faith.
THE SCRIPTURALITY OF EL THEOLOGICAL COLLEGE STUDENTS.
El Theological College students are trained, taught, groomed, built and disciplined to be Bible based, Bible oriented and Biblically sound. They are brought upon the deepest foundation of the Christian faith. The examples, ideas, actions, ministries and the pursuits of the students or ministries trained in El Theological College are basically scriptural. Ministers trained in El Theological College cannot join false prophets to prophesy craftly, deceitfully and diabolically.
The purpose and aims of ministers trained in our institution are fully on salvation, holiness, Righteousness and peoples eternity in heaven and never on people’s money as we see them today among the preachers. The ministries of our trained ministers are focus on these below:-
- Doing things that shall glorify Christ: The trained gospel ministers from El Theological College are not after the flesh, not after self, not for covetousness, not for self glorification and never for self promotion, but totally for issues that shall only glorify Christ and Christ alone. The students from Eltheco are trained to live for Christ, abide in Christ, confess Christ, glorify Christ in all areas of their activities on earth, thus, we become the best.
- To please God Always: One of the greatest evidences of godliness, spirituality and Christianity is “PLEASING THE LORD” . We teach and impaet into the lives of the students things that shall make them depend on God, please God always and to rely on God without any doubt in their hearts. The students are filled with all sensitivities that compel them to please God, irrespective of their conditions or conditions of the nation, they are built to always please God both in poverty or in their prosperity.
- To be examples of the faith: While others build to make names on earth, we build to make name in heaven, thus, we make our students to be epitome of the gospel, to be examples of faith, be the epistles others shall read and to be Jesus ambassador every where and every time. El Theological College is bent to build those that shall build people for heaven. While our vision is to make men that shall make heaven seekers in their various chandelles.
- Those that shall work for Christ: We prepare and make our students to be the ministers that shall walk and work with Christ, work for Christ and live for Christ. Our mission is not to produce those who work for God but never walk with Him, thus our students in various churches are different hence they work for Jesus and walk with Jesus for the glory of the father. We produce men that shall work for Christ.
SPIRITUALITY OF EL THEOLOGICAL COLLEGE STUDENTS.
El Theological College emphasizes much on holiness, sanctification and Christian spirituality. The business of El Theological College on the students are not only what shall make them to be highly theological and highly academic but also issues that shall make them highly spiritual, highly christcentric and highly purified, thus the teachings and discipleship on the students are depended on the following:-
- Holiness: El Theological College on steady emphasis on heart purity, holiness or sanctification makes the students to be highly conscious of spiritual issues, holy, Christ centeredness and heart purity. Every student of El Theological College must either be an experience of heart purity or the seeker of sanctification (heart purity), every student must be holy.
- Righteousness: Every student of El Theological College is built to be righteous, hating evil and separating and denying self from all pollutions that can generate to sins or to evil activities, thus the students or ministers trained in and by El Theological College are different from others hating all forms of money preaching, covetousness and present pursuit of money (Judas) without Christ at the altar.
- Faithfulness: El Theological College system of training the students is an impartation of faithfulness at the altar, at the family, in the society, in public and in his private places. Without faithfulness, gospel ministries are failures, thus El Theological College has it as a task to make every student to be highly faithful, both in action and in all possessions daily.
- Godliness: It is presently common for pastors and other gospel ministers to be fully evil and be known for their steady ungodliness, thus El Theological College training and all discipleship to the students, makes it very necessary, very compulsory and very mandatory that every of her student must be godly, represent Christ, possess Christ, speaks of Christ, live for Christ and always known and marked for his steady godliness, sound life and deep piety always.
- Obedience: One of the greatest emphasis of El Theological College to the students at the altar and in the classrooms is total obedience to the total ministry. Every student of El Theological College is compelled by the school authority by the students handbook, by the President of El Theological College, by the Bible and by the Holy Spirit of God to be obedient in the morning, in the afternoon, evening and night without any excuse, thus, every pastor trained in El Theological College is noted for his obedience.
