In my case, 1. I lost some lucrative jobs back to back even after playing by church rules to my best. If iNow I'm completely disconcerted with almost every message from the MOG. So why bother when nothing permeates? 2. If per chance I have a personal spiritual encounter to lead me to believe I've gone astray as in the bible. Or a woman (the power of a woman cannot be understated) |

Bottom line: Always see Pastors/Men of God/Religious leaders as humans! They are bound to make mistake, alter the wrong words, do things that do not sometimes reflect what the CREATOR of the HEAVENS and the EARTH (JEHOVAH GOD ALMIGHTY) commanded. That is why you should never build your wall and world around them. Establish your foundation on the Holy BOOK which is the word of GOD and HIS mind as delivered to us. The Bible warned that "not everyone that calls the name of GOD (even pastors) belongs to him, save those that eschew iniquity", hence 2nd Timothy 2:19. There are some persons who look up to you unknowingly in church, that mere seeing your presence in church encourage them and give them strength to face challenges of life and come out victorious because your smiles, encouragement, love and alms giving, lift them to stay on with God till the end of time. Such persons if they slide, God will not be happy with one, hence the need for the gathering. Too many pastors have failed by yielding to materialism at the expense of the flocks and further exploiting flocks they were called to watch over. THANK GOD no one will escape JUDGEMENT on the last day, being it white throne or Judgement seat of Christ. Let your BIBLE remain your standard and reference point. That is my own, I don't care what my pastor or people think about me. Peace 2 Likes |

zicoraads: I guess you read different Bible sir; even Quran established the Blessedness of Jesus Sura 3 &5. I have read Quran both English and Yoruba version and I open my mouth about so many things. Hebrew 10:25 encourages us about fellowship. It doesnt matter whether you go to church or not, just make sure notthing wiped your name from the book of Life Revelations 20:11-15. God bless you sir! |

I don't doubt God. I have firm faith absolutely in God. It's religion I'm doubting. God is within you and You are within God.....God does not live in a building but within you. I don't go to a building called church to worship God who is within me. 9 Likes |

I totally agree with most of you guys, but here is the thing " God loves you no matter you state or behavior right now....." because you don't know how much he loves you can easily make you do the wrong things most times....I would recommend you guys to a book "destined to reign " by Joseph prince..and see how much your savior loves and cherish you with out him expecting nothing from you |

Tithes and offering used come after the sermon but these days when pastors realised that congregation dissappear before end of the sermon, they started collecting it before sermon. This brings me to the conclusion that it's all about the money and they don't really care about me. I pray and praise the Almighty in my way and try to give directly to the needy. 5 Likes |
