God is not an author of confusion, therefore, the most organised, disciplined, conflict-free and well orderly people on earth should be the christian. Prof. Oyesiku (2003) stated that “Order is the first law in heaven”, one of the early cases of conflict and crises occurred in heaven, when lucifer and his fallen angels rebelled against God. if conflict and crises was seen in heaven, then expect one. Never say never, we just need to avoid it and reduce it to its minimal level
Kindly note, that most crises that occurs is often as a result of the failure on our part to distinguish and strike a balance between Spiritual Needs and Physical Needs. At times we are so focused on the spiritual needs alone and we ignore or pay little attention on the physical well being of our members, thereby fueling contention, dis-satisfaction and murmuring.
