In a recent post on his official Facebook page, Prophet Joshua Iginla, the founder and senior pastor of Champions Royal Assembly, addressed issues about the race of Jesus Christ. Emphasizing that such arguments hold no divine significance, Prophet Iginla highlighted the true essence of Christ's mission.
"Christ is grace bound, not race bound," Prophet Iginla declared. He expressed concern that many believers engage in discussions about whether Jesus was white or black, often to claim a racial connection to Him. According to Iginla, these arguments are misplaced and lack spiritual value.
He said, "Some say Jesus was white and others say He was black just to claim racial attachment with Him (Christ).
He stressed that Jesus came to project grace and truth, not to emphasize race or culture. "Christ came projecting Grace and truth, not race and culture. To this effect scripture says: For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. (John 1:17)," he explained. Iginla urged believers to focus on being enveloped in Christ's grace and truth rather than fixating on racial or cultural identity.
"To be in Christ is to be wrapped in His grace and truth, beyond race and culture. Take note and be wise," he advised.
Concluding his post with a prophetic declaration, Iginla proclaimed, "I prophesy, Grace and truth in Christ shall speak for your life. In Jesus name.
