Growing up I attended Qua Iboe( now united evangelical ) church orile, but the distance was far from our house at Festac. So whenever we could not go there with our parents, we went to Presbyterian church around the corner.
Qua Iboe impacted on me Cox since it was not a regular thing it made me look towards going to church, as that was also an avenue to meet my grand parents who resided at ketu. The service then was fun because of the memory verses we crammed to show off at home, and any time there was a function, intelligent kids were given the opportunity to show case their scriptural brilliance.

The Presbyterian also helped me because we wrote monthly Sunday school exams and nobody wanted to be seen as a failure, also that was the first church I witnessed people being excommunicated (the good old days of christiandom) due to bad behavior, while in Qua Iboe if you came late during prayer or sermon, irrespective of who you were you most stay outside, till something less spiritual starts.

I later went to a boarding house where I was baptized in the Catholic church, I didn't really learn much, but that was one of the most dedicated part of my Christian life, the reverend fathers and sisters were wow and out of this world and really helped me I guidance, I might have been a lost soul if not for them, I am forever grateful to the catholic church for the guidance of my life at a crucial stage of growing up.
After school I worked for the synagogue church of all nations and that was where I learnt Life, Prophet T.B Joshua remains an inspiration till today. I learnt life and Christianity from another angle, unfortunately that was the last church I took seriously.

I have since become a non denominational Christian, as I believe Christ is about love and keeping the commandment, I don't want to be associated with any particular church, I want to be associated with Christ like characters, coupled with the fact that I can't stand Hypocrisy and the church this days are filled with hypocrites.

That being said 80% of my Christian spiritual knowledge, is from the teaching of a Korean, his analysis opened my eyes to a different way of seeing the Bible and understanding creation, he made me meditate more, he made me understand that works is equally as important as faith.

But more importantly he made me understand why most people will constantly be misled, because they see omniscience in a different light.

Please what is the name of the Korean Pastor?


I am an Anglican by birth and by choice and a Christian by Faith.
I love the order of service in the Anglican church, from the procession to the end of the church program is unique. Less of everything and I think my Parents were so much of an influence. The Bible says train up a child in the way he should go and he won't depart from it. I haven't departed.

I attended CU so was a winner tentatively, I also like their mode of worship but service was too short. Bishop Oyedepos teachings are very inspiring and makes one work hard and also grounds your faith.

I dont know wether attending a Catholic boarding school counts but, that's where I also attended church mostly.

They taught me the rosary prayer. Taught me that Mother Mary is also a way to God. Taught me holy communion and confessing my sins to another human being called Father. They taught me that a sprinkle of water on a child's forehead counts as baptism infact, they said that bapistism is very important for an infant, incase the child dies and they are without christ. Loved these people too much.

During my first year in university, I went on a holiday in Egypt and because my cousin was one of the tour guides, she took us to all these wonders. I left there with many questions but was afraid to ask.

I later then learnt that the obelisk displayed infront of all catholisc churches is an egyptian worship for blindfolding and conquering Christianity. That the pact between the Romans and Egyptians birthed what is today called Roman Catholic Church, hence the very important figure who is today displayed as mary (Nimrods wife and son, Tamuss).....Infact, catholicism is all about pagan worship. The fish mouth of the pope's cap....same as that worn by all wealthy kings of egypt. When the obelisk and the mouth fish are in one place....evil deeds prevail, hence the grusome history of the pope's. Starting from sleeping with young boys who are falsely recruited for mentorship, to fake saints.

If you have questions, go to Rome and see for yourself the sculptures displayed.....compare them to those that are in Egypt and do a little research. Better yet, use the internet

Was born and brought up in the Anglican Communion.. Staunch Efac member..really learnt a lot about salvation,holy living,evangelism and soul winning...was commited till I went to sch...and became commited more to scripture union...now am serving I attend house on the rock enugu .but still yet most things I see tend to conflict with my own biblical upbringing e.g the way i way i saw my members dress are not the same with my new church but nevertheless I love house on the rock for its different dimension of biblical teachings on good earthly living and the secrets to it..no too much pressure for money unlike my home church...
I came to respect my Anglican church the day we had a bible quiz recently and I answered questions well..it wasn't as a result of my reading too much Bible (me wey don spoil finish,don't even have a bible for now ) but because the teachings and lessons were still a part and parcel of me...God bless EFAC and SU.

Sorry to say dont u think that these leaders didnt seek counsel from GOD before instilling such a command.
the church believe in "Holiness without which no man shall see the Lord" and they try every means to flee from all appearance of Sin. Its a holiness church and know what they want though they might make mistake along the line by being "too holy" as outsiders will say.

I grew up living with my dads immediate younger sister who happens to be a member of The Apostolic faith Church (a.k.a ijo elekun) back then in ilorin at agbo oba road, with headquarters at Anthony village, lagos.

what a church, I was well groomed with d world of God, very very spiritual that we see other denominations as unbelievers.

We no dey watch tv, no earrings for females, no drugs, no hospital, we no dey dance for church, men no dey keep beards, no offering except tithe, if you dey pray and u no cry join, usher go tap you, (to tell you that you are just playing) up till today, I never sabi dance as d church affect me reach, upon say I don dey attend winners ever since I relocated to lagos at the age of 14, am 33 now.

But I missed their musical concert well well.

Deeper Life all the way!

The closest I have been to DEEPER LIFE was been made an EXCO menber in a school fellowship been ran by the church.

How can I forget the MONTHLY LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAM (L.T.P)
whenever I entered the hall of the program, the only thing you want to do is to #PRAY;I mean the ambiance and the atmosphere alone would compel you to pray
... With the amazing song...
"you will fill my heart today, to overflowing, as the lord commanded me...
Bring my vessels not a few....
You will fill my heart today, to overflowing..
With the HOLY GHOST AND POWER!"

I learnt that song in DEEPER LIFE, and is still evergreen in my heart

God bless the Tribe of DEEPER LIFE!

Apostolic faith. Deeper life came from the church so they share almost same doctrine........ It helped me alot especially the music class before I was 16 I could site read play the French horn and the piano almost perfectly. Spiritually it developed me. Until I entered d school I am now. I was a good boy I repeat I was an example to my mates. Try apostolic faith. And thank me later

I've been an ECWA member since birth. Still an ECWA member. The church is especially known for sound teachings of the bible and powerful messages through songs. If you grew up an ECWA child, you would be good in Sword drill, Bible Quiz, Memory Verses recitation and all. My childhood is filled with memories of attending youth fellowship camps where some of these activities happen, brigade camps, choir rehearsals, drama practice, revivals and concerts.Proudly ECWA!
