And you just sit there obeying everything. undecided

That was how one time I went to a church with my cousin during the holidays and the pastor was preaching endlessly.

Hunger don dey fire me as I no chop before I comot house.

Service started at seven and it was already 10 with no sign of its end at all. I was feeling very dizzy and so I decided to go outside and rest in the car and maybe probably find something to eat outside before I faint there.

Immediately I stood up and was walking towards the back door I heard a loud cry.

"And that is one of the demons over there! They can appear in different forms,,this one is looking calm and presentable,,ushers bring him forward"

They brought me forward to the pastor and I was really confused on what to say.

My shouts of "i'm not a demon! I'm not a demon o" aggravated the whole issue.

I just kept dumb and let them continue with their prayers. sad

I never went to that church with my cousin again.

Sowing seeds to god of men does absolutely nothing in ur life. Quote me: NOTHING!
It neither makes u rich nor poor, ok. U better use dt money to help the less privileged around u.
Staying too long on a prayer point is useless too. Jesus taught dt God does not hear u because of ur vain repititions
If u r led by d Holy Spirit u should display his virtues and one of such is excellence. It is not bad if u brush up ur English to acceptable standards as an ambassador.

Finally we dont want to know how rich u r. Take dt info to ur family members in ur village

#1. Screaming into Microphones:

Oga, there’s a reason why the thing is called a microphone. It is to be talked into, or even whispered into (if your voice as loud as mine). There’s no need to shout into the mike. It pains the ears of the worshippers close to the speakers. And then, we all end up leaving church with our ears ringing. The worst part is when you people now scream in tongues during general prayers, unto God- with mike! Shey God will not hear you if you don’t use the mike? Haba!


#2. Breaking Bottles on our Heads:

Have you ever sat in a church and the pastor, during his sermon speaks grammar that makes you lose anointing? Jeez, me too! A pastor will go like: “Go to the extreme end, and call that sister. That demon has to be pursued out now-now!” The demon in the instance will even begin to laugh seriously. One thing that pains me is that these pastors have no regard most times for us, they don’t mind breaking our heads with those unscrupulous grammar and pronunciations,  because they're operating from cloud nine. Make una calm down, thank you.


#3. Staying on one Prayer Point for too long:

I personally detest this. Some pastors will make a simple prayer like, ‘God bless my family’ and turn it into a marathon race. They will stay on one topic for hours, and ginger and ginger us not to stop. It gets boring oh, Pastor. We are Nigerians and we get bored easily.


#4. Asking for too much:

I don’t mean financially this time. Some pastors are like some of our presidential candidates. They are born dictators and control freaks, and only hide behind the pulpit to force us to do things. I personally don’t like when a pastor says: “Walk to fifty-five people and welcome them to service this morning.” It causes problems for ushers as the church becomes rowdy. Also, some pastors like their congregation to repeat every sentence they say fourteen times, or obey every single order to the smallest detail. How will a pastor tell us: “Lift up your right hand and place it on your left breast, then put your left hand under your right shoulder. The anointing is about to flow.”? (Okay I'm exaggerating again), but how on earth are we supposed to pull that off?

#5. Ending every Sermon with Seed-Sowing:

Aha. I put this one last because it's the one you've been expecting to see. These days, even a sermon on how saints will be ruptured on the last day ends with certain pastors making alter calls for people interested in sowing seeds. This is after the church has collected like three times offering already oh. You should stop this oh. Sometimes we your congregation get milked in service to the extent that we also use our transport money to sow a seed. We really humans oh.

Crap. You're on your own.

in developed countries, there are strict acoustic regulations that auditoria like churches, mosques etc must meet for sound absorption and transmission. you will pass a church without knowing anything is happening. no matter how loud a preacher shouts into the mic, it does not affect the ears adversely. pastors spend so much building churches but think paying acoustic specialiats is a waste. building regulatory agencies also dont help matters either, just like our president they dont give a damn. cry cry

No 3 is a big no no for me.

Prayers should not take more than 5 minutes. And it should be done in a matured and respectable way.
No need repeating yourself over and over all in the name of praying long and hard.

Saw a video of Pst.Chris firing invisible-fireballs at the congregation.

He was like : "You want some? You really want some? Collect the annointing!!" . The congregation kept falling over their seats each time he spread his hands in a 'firing' motion.

Sorry missy, have heard this crap thousands of times. I've gotten to discover that earthly lives can be more joyful, meaningful and "healthy" when not lived within narrow limits set by faith-related concerns for the state of an individual's soul undecided

However, God is dead to his own generation of men and women , killed by an indifference that was itself directly related to a pronounced cultural shift away from faith towards rationalism and morality.

This remind me of my service year in Edo.

The church I went to then is apparently fond of offerings. At least five offerings if I remembered right.

You will dance and dance and dance to the front for each offering.

But I don't succumb to such. Only one offering each Sunday is enough for me. The rest I will just sit alone while the whole church is dancing their way to the front. Three sundays of doing that some other people started doing like me.

Needless to say the Pastor came to see me in my lodge saying "Corper pls stop doing like this. You are encouraging others to do so too"

I remember how one particular woman went about solving 'problem' of multiple offerings in my church while growing up. She would simply come to church with coins, plenty of that. She was undetered even when aluminium trays were brought. You would hear those coins as they dropped into the trays while she gladly danced her way back to her seat. She didn't send nobody, even the pastors knew her.

Are you done? Or is it that you are just incorrigible? If people get lost in your statements, it probably means you don't communicate and need to check ur processing unit for coherence. What I referred you to doesn't merit your tantrumic ejaculations and abuse. You alleged your person was told to take something else rather than recommended drugs and died A WEEK after. Yet you claimed she took it 3 WEEKS! You should be thanking me instead of your rant.
