I have the privilege of being a Youth executive in my Church. And since I enamour football, I have been thinking of initiating and establishing a football group, were we can train and organise friendly matches with other Churches as well. But I feel skeptical about this innovation because it is unbiblical. Thus, it may be unacceptable to God. So I am don't know if it is really right to proceed with the idea. Please I need your advise. Your contributions will be well appreciated. 2 Likes 1 Share |

l plead with you in the name of the Lord to jettison your idea it is inspiration from hell. l used to love football until one day the Lord showed me how deep He detests football in the church or church getting involved. In addition He frown at TV stations own by churches from showing it. He said worldly news casting in these stations also infuriate Him. Please always ask Holy Spirit before you introduce anything to the church. Shalom. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

If we say Football is demonic, we may be right, we may be wrong, but what else do you want the youth to do especially if they have the talent of playing football. Would you allow the talent to waste away? Play soccer or be addicted to crime. Which one is better. Think about it. I may not have answer to your questions. Any youth that want to play football should prayerfully seek the face of God for direction. 27 Likes 1 Share |

The youth are supposed to engage in sport for many obvious reasons: 1.good for physical health 2.can be a good bonding tool for your church members 3.talents can be spotted and the Yaya Toure's of the future can be birthed. Some people just hate on everything that is vogue don't listen to these nutjobs their understanding of scripture is primitive. Let people play and get active. 23 Likes 2 Shares |

It is just football nothing more. A game that knows no language,religion,tribe and also enjoyed by the majority. If we all can always be in peace and unity during football matches, dont you think our God will like it? A goal is a goal in any language. 14 Likes |

This is what hppens when the church leaves its calling and duty to go meddle in affairs that doesn't relate to it. What has sport got to do with the work of Christ? I'll advice you to gather those youths nd use them to preach the word of God instead of kicking some football and making it look like you're doing God's work. Face the duty given to you as a christian which football is not part of. Sports in church is distraction. Don't bring the world into the church. Play your football outside while you face the work of God inside. This is exactly what happens when christianity becomes dumb-down. Christiansno longer have tasks cos their pastors only require money from them. How many of you would be thinking of hosting football games as a christian hd it been you existed in the time Roman soldiers where persecuting christians nd killing them? Now that christianity has become soft and more worldly with people seeing it as fun all because pastors don't give difficult tasks like going to preach in the Northeast, you now want to start enjoying more by playing football in church. Someone even said it's just football and nothing more...it helpd build the talent of youths in the church. Why don't we bring in modelling and break dancing also? If you know the task Yahshua christ gve christians nd how far behind they are, you won't even be thinking about sleeping talkless of playing football even outside the church as a true christian. 25 Likes 5 Shares |

Pretence and "holier-than-thou" attitude of most churchgoers.. Op doesn't really understand the essence and dynamics of football and sports. Mountain Of Fire Ministries(MFM) won the world church football competition in faraway Asia. Where did those other teams they beat came from? We are now holier than even the whites that introduced christianity to us. Now MFM has been promoted to the NPFL. A team parades nothing less than 23 players. Do you know 23 families' lives would be upgraded? Engage your pastor. Tell him the Youth needs a sports unit. Organise matches, friendlies and competitions. Convince the wealthy and the rich in your church to sponsor you. You might not know you are even fulflling God's plan for your life. You may be the stepping stone for that talent with no sponsor, money and exposure. It's not a sin, sir!! 58 Likes |
