Some people sha...there are rules and regulations in every institutions created if you can't keep to them, then that place is not for you no body forces you to attend the school. These are the core values the schl is know for it should not be a case study any more, go there study hard for five or four years and leave the school you won't die obeying those rules. 2 Likes |

psylliumhusk1:This is what I hate about the average Christian. They always speak like this with confidence like they're the spokesman of God or they know the mind of God. Then they open the other side of their mouth and say God works in mysterious ways. 15 Likes 3 Shares |

Very true. All the covenant university graduates/friends I have are either agnostic or atheist. They have zero regard for religion and sacred things! 3 Likes |

Anything that has to do with faith should not be forced down the throat of anyone, it should be a matter of free and choice. Because too much of anything is bad, no only bad but it will only result to the opposite which you're driving against in the first instance. In every thing in life there must be moderation. I think I relate to this when I was young my mum used to forced me to night vigil of all kinds, 21 days, 7 days... and we will go to school the following morning, this made me hate night vigil. Lol i used to say with the no of night vigil I've had, ain't go no to any vigil no more. 3 Likes |

Religion is a tool of spirituality. If it works for you, embrace it. If it does not work for you drop it like hot akara. I am done with religion. It is an absolute waste of my time and energy. Those who still find it valuable, I have no problem with them - to each his/her own. 10 Likes 3 Shares |

Lantosed: Agreed without reservation. That's why it is called FAITH; Personal believe and not forced Oyedepo knows this yet chooses to enforce his own rules It only exposes Oyedepo's lack of faith in God's ability to work in the hearts of the students. Thus, he is trying to help God by forcing people to go to church, be spiritual etc 3 Likes 1 Share |

icebird25:God is Love. God made the whole world because he loves us and wants us to share in this love. All he wants is for us to live in love, helping, and teaching each other. To be like him. God so much loved us that he sent Jesus Christ into this same world to show us how to live in live and attain eternal life in heaven. Heaven is a place of love. You cannot claim to love God whom you cannot see whilst you are busy practicing hatred on your neighbor (whom God also made and wants to save) whom you can see. You must love the Lord your God with your whole mind and heart...and you must love your neighbour as yourself. These are the Two greatest commandments. ... A new commandment I give to you: Love one another as I have loved you... - Now, do you think there is any form of hatred for anyvody in heaven? You only hate sin/wrong doing. But you cannot hate the person doing it. ..."and pray for your enemies*.... All this I have written out of the Bible. Check your statement again. Is there any love in such statement? Don't let them tell you in heaven to go away, that you still have hatred in your heart. 2 Likes |

Takeaways 1.Many people are sent to Christian schools to be 'cured' of their 'atheism'. Well, the truth is, when you send your child to Covenant or any other school for 'quick fix religion cure' , you are guaranteeing that the child will not only become more convinced as an atheist, but would convert others. Once knew a Muslim who got born again. As he puts it, it was God who convinced him, not some Christian spouting arguments about faith. 2.I'm not surprised that , as HigherEd puts it, Christians are not ready to give an answer (1.Peter 3 vs 15). Most churches do not prepare young christians in this country to defend their faith. Youth programmes are always about 'how to be a good christian so that you do not disgrace mummy and daddy'..not 'how to be a prepared Christian'. At least, we now have the internet, and a wide variety of christian apologetics are online....not like before when you had to look all over for a good book on 'arguing for the faith' Also, many Christians don't read stuff...outside the 'good Christian books'....and as a result when someone throws 'davinci code' or tells them that 'Constantine invented Christianity'...they have no answer...so they run far far away. Same thing for evolution....no exposure to arguments against evolution (not the young creationist things, by the way), no exposure to arguments against mythis propagated about the history of science (Gallileo was punished by the church...forgetting that the scientific establishment of his day too also opposed him), and so on. We Christians should wake up 3.Finally, having long church sermons does not a Christian school make. Having children packed off to programme after programme does not good christians make. 7 Likes 1 Share |

prince3009:You make it sound like an occult system where the details of the covenant are concealed until you enter into it. Covenant University doesn't do that, instead they lay down the rules plainly for you and it is up to you to abide by them if you signed up for them at admission time. Many folks come from irreligious home where they aren't user to the harsh discipline that goes with serving God acceptably. On the other hand, Oyedepo himself has put his own children through tougher religious discipline and expect the students to cope with lesser ones he lays down. 1 Like |
