Poster,

How will you feel if on your wedding day after the pastor has declared you and your husband "Man and Wife" and he goes ahead to say " Give Jesus a big hand, " and all of a sudden you notice that no one clapped ? Just let me know how you will feel.

When i get married der will be no need for that.
Why should you give Jesus a big hand. what does it mean sef.

Come on Gamine you can do berrer

Which kain mystery about clapping!! D bible didnt evn say clap ur hands for d Lord. And here is someone tellin me about mystery
@Josh.lol. I never went anywhere o!!

my dear sister you have done a 160% degree change. i hope in God you change quickly. you don't like tithing because some bishops took your pocket money, you don't like books because some people write about name it claim it now you don't like clapping.  what next you wont like people bringing in different translations or fat people come into gamines's church?

you went into some strange land. faith is fragile my dear. handle it with care. Jesus is all we got. there are loads of pastor who once serve God passionately everyday that are no more in faith today because they travelled this road you are travelling now.

it is good to question things like washing of feet and communion but hold on to Jesus and what paul said in Hebrews 12:15

See to it that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled Hebrews 12:15

@KarmaMod, "Mathew 6:7

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking"

Tolded them!!! , are they clapping to get God's attention?

and lol @ "animals in the middle of a stampede"

very funny thread.

ok, Seriously.

Mr Josh, You dont know me, i dont know you.

Let the Sewer talk end, abeg.

Dont derail the thread o.

Clapping, tithing, bla bla blo are not requirements for eternal life, so wareva

Flame on Clap on!

@ poster,i bet you are getting the message,u don't need all that shit,use your sundays for better things or just lie in.

@GAMINE:maybe you are not feeling your place of service,
if your church doesnt change you,then you should change your church.
clapping for Jesus is a form of praise.(heb 13:15)
u have to be moved.may i ask WHAT MADE U SO TIRED THAT YOU JUST COULDNT CLAP UR HANDS?

na by force to clap for church?!

all this people coming here and ranting at GAMINE just because she is tired of clapping, na wa for una!

i guess a loose fanatical slowpoke would soon visit this thread and claim if you dont clap, you would go to hell fire!!

@poster

but u never tire of eating abi?

i find it very stupid when people clap in church for EVERY trifle. A child trips? they clap, that couple finally got pregnant? they clap. pastor sneeze? they clap. i don write, oya make una clap.

ogbongzky:

@poster

but u never tire of eating abi?

That metaphor is quite poor.

Nobodys life depends on clapping.

@ Gamine,
clap louder and better and harder, ur miracle is coming!!!!
seriously, , u guys condemning winners chapel, it isn't even bad there at all, i attend the church and love it,
what could be wrong, annoying or tedious about giving a round of applause after an announcement is made or for God himself, I could clap all day for Jesus, and it won't still be enough,

so again let me hear you make it bigger and better for HIM!!!

@Gamine
There was a time I went on evangelism with my evangelical group, I clapped my hands for so long to the point that my hands became white. I am still recovering from it.
Clapping is just to show appreciation for God's work. If u get tired, take a break and then continue.
Nobody go flog you.
God is Love. God bless.

hahaha

Where Did anybody see clapping in HEB 13:15 ooooooooo

Chei!!

I find it very stupid when people clap in church for EVERY trifle. A child trips? they clap, that couple finally got pregnant? they clap. pastor sneeze? they clap. i don write, oya make una clap.

You dey mind them

That's what happens when parents send their kids to covenant university to teach them about Christianity rather than lead them into a personal relationship.
The kids come out not knowing what else to do now that the forced chapels meeting are over.



People please! Learn to Read!

@ Topic

Gamine I dey feel you you die.

Back in those days when I use to go to church, 70% of the church service was comprised of clapping for one thing or the other.

Songs;
"Clap your hands and praise the lord"
"Children od God will you clap halleluyah, clap Halleluyah to the lord 50 times"

Then when the singer is tired of singing all she says is "Your Hands" meaning you should keep clapping while she rests.

Prayers;
This one is another clapping fiesta. You will keep clapping while speaking in gibberish tongues.

Testimonies;
AH!! This one na die. When the person is called up _{(a round of applause)}
The person will then spend another 110 minutes shoutinng praise the lord, which the halleluyah is backed by clapping.
And then more applause in between the testimonies.

Sermon
Haba!!
The pastor expects you to put your hands togerther for the lord at the end of every sentence.

Example

PASTOR: "For god so loved the world". Praise the lord. Put your hands togerther for the lord.
Congregation: **Claps**
PASTOR: That he gave us his only begotten son. His only son. what a sacrifice. Give the lord a round of applause
Congregation: **Claps**
PASTOR: That who so ever. Be you a thief, a murderer, a 419er, whosoever believes in him will not perish, but have eternal life. Let me hear you shout a big amen.
Congregation: ** Shouts Amen** backed with clapping.
PASTOR: Give a big clap offering unto the lord
Congregation: ** Claps**
PASTOR: That was for me, now a bigger clap offering unto the lord
Congregation: ** Claps even Harder and louder**


Offering & Tithe Collection

You are expected to clap whilst they fleece you.


Grace.

After the grace, you clap.


ABEG I no blame you for being tired of clapping. No wonder some ushers don use clapping develope muscles for hand.

'

PASTOR: That was for me, now a bigger clap offering unto the lord

Rofl.

Yikes!, JAs!


Okija, Omo na you feel me gannnnnnnn!!!

ROTFLMAO!!!


Omo make i clap for you o

**pah pah pah pah pah*

You dont always have to clap @ everything. The most important thing is whatever you do, you do it with understanding, not because every1 is doing it. If you don't clap it doesn't make you less a christian. It could just be that at that point you're tired or something. You fit even clap with dem in the spirit, without your hands physically clapping.

Abi o

Cos my bible talk say, Trees clap their hands

Do trees have hand??
