Hello my fellow nairalanders, i will love to share with you some worldly things that happens in the church of God nowadays but doesn't pleases God.
I'm a kind of person that loves visiting different types of churches but some things that we see in churches these days are nothing to talk about, here are some:

1 PASTORS PREACHES WITH MOBILE PHONES AND LAPTOPS; This is a process in which the devil is using to send the bible into extinction, i see no big deal in pastors making use of thier bible to preach but some pastors of nowadays also wants to feel among, if devil come and attack them, is it their phone or laptop they will use to fight the devil?? The mobile bible is meant for reading when you are in a free time or you are in a bus and you just wish to go through the words of God....

2 COMPETITIONS IN THE CHURCH OF GOD; This is another thing the church of God is fond of doing nowadays, because sister Mary is putting on an expensive dress with some kinds of heavy jeweries, sister Jane is already planning the one that will beat the sister Mary's own next sunday, or brother Michael just bought a new BB Z30 last week, brother John has also gotten a new BB passport this week, is that what you come to do in church??

3 WORLDLY DANCE IN THE CHURCH OF GOD; The trending dance step in the church these days is "shoki", you will tell God when your hand turn to snake and the person you are about to strike. Some girls also what they do is twerking in the church, which can even make the pastor backslide, you better watch your ways.

4 CLAIMING BIG BOYS AND GIRLS IN THE CHURCH; This one is common in we youths, when pastor ask us to stand up and clap or praise the lord, that is when you will see some guys folding their arms, some won't even stand up at all, please if you don't praise God, who do you wnt to praise??

5 [b]PREACHING OF WORLDLY THINGS; Some pastors of these days has removed the kingdom of God from their dairy, all they know is to preach about the latest car, latest private jet, the latest mansion and how to make much money, vanity upon vaniy, all is vanity.

6 TAKING NOTE OF PASTOR'S MISTAKES; No one is above mistake but youths of nowadays don't want to know that, all they do is laugh at the pastor's mistakes, later you will start saying your prayers are not answered.

7 TOASTING IN THE CHURCH OF GOD; Hmmm.... A new babe just visited your church and because you don't want brother Mike to outsmart you in talking to her, you now decided to do your parol right inside the church, please the church is not a hook up zone, if you are in church, it's God you are there to meet not babe......

I guess that is okay for now, God bless us all.

well
these times are the SO CALLED END TIMES
so its expected we must just ensure we dont get caught in the web of all the so called norms

The conclusion of whole the whole thing is learn, understand, memorize and apply the word to any situation. JESUS quoted the word of God, the word of authority which he used to rebuke the devil and command him out of his way. Mind you Satan also has the consciousness of the living word of God. What will get him out of your way is your claim of authority of God's word. If you don't know the word, you can't have the authority. JESUS IS THE WORD. IF HE ABIDES IN YOU, You will have the key, you will have the authority.

If darkness overshadows, the word sheds lights, and in the presence of light darkness is null and void... That's is our victory. God is with us because his word dwells in us.

lmao!! the saint that wrote this......i'm sure you wrote based on whats in ur church; or have u been around d world? smh

[color=#770077][/color] :Dwat of those that add ajasas to the pastors preaching.[b]wat of those that add ajasas to the pastors preaching.[/b]wat of those that add ajasas to the pastors preaching.

I won't categorically state here that , it is bad to make use of your laptop or anyother device in preaching ther word of God.......but it shouldn't be overemphasized as long d content of d word been preached is d truth....the church of today lack d truth and a lot of lies n delluded words instead of the word of God is been preached...

Well I might be wrong o bur a lot of people do demonic things wiv their gadgets. The bible represents the word of God. How do u expect to be moved by the holy spirit if the medium at which u use to read the bible is corrupted. A lot of youths have pornography on their gadgets and they also have the bible in that same pornography infested gadgets. Who are we deceiving. technology has caused so many problems just as it is solving so many problems.


Only God sees the heart. We all know many Nigerians love to show off. It's not because they love God that much. So most people who use those gadgets are just showing off. Secondly, a hard copy bible to me is an uncorrupted manuscript. People saying but the bible was written in scrolls, it's almost the same as reading from a paper. The bible is meant to be sacred. The bible should be on its own wiv out attachments. How do u read a bible from the same gadget u use to abuse people, gossip people and plan evil against people. If u look at the many horrible conversations wiv have on phone, the many lies etc we do and then u put the bible in that same gadget. Technology has just succeeded in making the bible look like any other novel or e-book cus I tell u the holy spirit cannot dwell in such gadgets. The bible is a sword and a weapon of war fare. When we read the bible, at that moment we are meant to be chaste in reasoning and in thoughts. How do u chastise a gadget?

If u are being attacked spiritually, how do u rush to your gadget that is infested wiv many unprintable things and u think the holy spirit will listen to what is coming out of your mouth. Call me old school, call me illiterate, call me uncivilised, let the bible be the bible and let gadgets be gadgets. That's my take..... everything in life should be done in moderation. the moment we cannot do wiv out that thing, it has become your god......do not be a slave to technology.

Dere is nothing wrong with eBible if the word of God is not comprised, If dere was iPad durng Moses era the Bible wuld hav been in softcopy.

@zick 19 please don't let the devil use u to discourage his children from going to church. Most you write something on nairaland? Watch what u post cos u can drag ppl to hell wit it

The Bible in scripts/texts has an eternal value, glory, holiness and fame, so that quality can't be replaced. On phones, tablets and other electronic means, scriptures can easily be referenced and work done can easily be documented but such activities may not last for years. Though the devices are versatile and work greatly, they must not replace the Bible.

charlsecy:
Nothing wrong with eBibles. Why are you not using a stone tablet or a scroll for your Bible? Why on paper?

Correct, just what I wanted to say. Absolutely nothing wrong. And people that actually believe it is the bible they hold in their hand that does the work while casting out demons should actually try to open that bible to read it

What a profound statement

zick19:

I never said its wrong, my main point is on how the pastors makes use of it.... They keep bible somewhere else and they make their tabs in place of the bible...

OK lemme enlighten you a bit, there is nothing wrong with e-bibles or it usage by pastors. Churches these days have screens everywhere that shows what's happenings on the altar and the same time serve as a medium to show bible verses quoted by the pastor for the congregation. We have to always understand that we live in an ever evolving world, times will keep changing but the concept of what is written in the bible will not change. Joshua 1:8 holds all the concept of bible idea we ought to have. This book of the law shall not depart from thy mouth, meditate therein day and night. God doesn't care if the bible comes in a stone tab, scroll, paperback, laptop, tablet or whatever technology awaits us in future. What He cares about is that the WORD should not depart from you, read it every time you find the chance to, that is the concept. So pastors can leave their paperback bibles at home and come with an iPad, well it still has the word of God in it. as regards casting demons with the bible, bros I'll advise you to study your bible well and leave this propaganda. the only work of the bible is to edify you, teach you the precepts of God, and learn God's promises concerning your life. It will, I repeat It WILL not help you cast out demons, it is the word in you that will. And oh remember to stop watching Hollywood, I keep telling people it reduces IQ

Girls wearing very tight skimpy skirt/gown. I almost got lust yesterday i was just staring at her backside but thank God it go beyond that...

it is the understanding you have through study of the word that matter not the bible(printed) or ebible and the use of laptop. logos is the written word while the spoken word the rhema_ Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
Ps 119:11; 37:31; Lu 2:19,51 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
Ac 6:10

don't be fault finder the use of any technology is not bad, you are here in forum this is technology, it is not posing or flaunt with it but all the study materials we have today are to be used to the glory of God please let's embrace change. God bless nairaland forum and Nigeria at large.

Omg... Some people are still living in the past. Op, you have to know this, that book called bible contains words, and that's where the power is, and not the paper. You can copy and paste those words anyday, any where and it will work for you if you belive. Some people even sleep with the bible thinking that it will protect them. that's so wrong because its a mere waste of time. There is nothing wrong with reading the bible from Ipad, phones or even on the wall of your house.

if Nairaland existed like 100AD am sure sm1 else wud have posted smfyn complaining dat the apostles were now using paper bibles to preach as opposed to scrolls and stone tablets asking if the cud bind d devil with paper

...the morale:
we advance with technology
you bind by the power of the words spoken via ur mouth
whether u are pointing a scroll or stone tablet or bible or phone app on ipad at the devil

This topic is actually interesting because it is up for debate, I love viewing topics from diff perspectives and I understand yours perfectly but I want to say that the concept of the bible is to read and meditate, if some succeeded in burning all the bibles in the world for instance, do we say the world is doomed? NO, because the WORD of GOD should be in our heart as we read it. Regarding your argument about gadgets being a host to porn and medium for abuse on social media, I'll say it is not justified. once you have porn on your gadget and a bible in paperback, it doesn't make you any more a christian than the person that has both porn and bible in his gadget

billante:

AND BTW WHO TOLD YOU THAT HOLDING A BIBLE ENHANCES MIRACLES ?? WHEN DID U EVER SEE JESUS OR HIS DISCIPLES PERFORM ONE WITH A BIBLE? AFRICAN MENTALITY!!!!
