Bros, head to a Catholic Church where you will be baptized, recieve communion and have the privillrge of welcoming the paraclete (the holy spirit) via confirmation...all these will be made possible when you must have been well tutored in a Catechism class.

After that, you join a pious sodality like THE LEGION OF MARY, SACRED HEART, ADORATION GROUP, CHARISMSTIC, CATHOLIC BIBLE SOCIETY etc.
Truly, you can have all and more, if u are a committed catholic...not the lets-go-to-church-on-sunday troop.
It pays to be a catholic who knows his way around the bible, doctrines, divine relevations and the dictums of the magistrium than be a puppet/zombie in the hands of a fellow man and his wife, who ultimatically becomes a pastor, by virtue of marriage

Hello nairaland, please help a brother I just came to a consciousness that I can't do thing's by my power again. I have relied on my capabilities and have failed. Now I know it's only God that can direct me right.

I have made a resolution to get closer to God but I can't do this all by myself

That is the reason I came back to Lagos from the north.

I currently stay at Abule Egba Lagos and I need a good church that I can be committed to and would help my spiritual and physical life even if it is not near Abule Egba. Since I don't have the holy spirit yet to lead me to a good Church.

Please tell me a good church that can bring me back to life.


I really need your help .
That's the same challenge that am facing now, I believe God will see us through.

It would be better you focus on self development. No church will ever give you rancour; you will keep pursuing that spiritual satisfaction until you become frustrated.

If God cares about you, he will reveal his hidden self to you and not through some churches that will rob you of your little money.

Ur head is very correct.

Don't listen to those guys prescribing Churches for you to join like the guy below.

Lmao at prescribing churches.

God is your heart and now where else.

I keep saying Churches are for social gatherings

Show off your new boo, your new clothe, your achievements. That's what most churches are for.

Just a place to show that u belong.

And them the pastors are making money from the congregation.

I know a pastor who calls his church members customers.

It is wonderful that you've come to this realisation.

Some truths needs to be spelt out unambiguously without mincing words, Church commitment is not a panacea to all your problems or challenges, some challenges are life phase related though some could still have a spiritual undertone, in as much as you want to be commited to church your personal relationship/ communion with God is the ultimate.

Commitment to church would aid in edifying your spirit and constant hearing of the word has a way of purging us and we do also know tgat iron sharpeneth iron.

Pls dont assume that going to church is a substitute for use of our brains, hardwork and creativity if you do you would be frustrated and bitter, as you develop your spiritual life which is of utmost importance dont leave behind your academics, career, business or anyother that is applicaple to you, always ensure you take practical steps to your goals and endeavour to commit your ways to God.

As for a church to attend, Feel free to walk into any RCCG church around you, Daystar Christian Centre at Plot A3C Oregun, Ikosi Road, Ikeja is also a place to be, Any Winners Chapel(Living faith), Full life Christian Centre at 110 Obafemi Awolowo Way.

Please if your spirit (inner man) is not at peace in any church you find yourself, there is no need of being there (when I mean peace, I don't mean when their preachings are not sugar coated and its get you unsettled).

In all endeavour to be in a church that has salvation of souls and growing in the word as a priority.

Lets end with three scriptures below:

Heberews 10:25- Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

1 John 4: 1-6 - Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

Proverbs 4:7 -Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

May the almighty keep you and guide your path. God bless you. All the best!

Must you comment? You guys forbid non-Muslims from commenting on issues relating to your faith but find it convenient to insult ours at the slightest opportunity.

I recommend that nairaland removes the required conditions for non-Christians to comment on Islam-related topics or ban Muslims from commenting on Christianity-related topics also.

One of you lots problem is dat u lack the right insight to making money. Giving is the main secret to multiplying income and giving in furtherance of the work of God is just at dat height, u cant help but give to the church for the furtherance of God's work. Whatever the pastor's do with it is not ur business, d same way whatever d beggar or whoever u are giving to is not accountable to u on d basis dat u gave him or her money. You have done ur part and dat will yield ur own reward. Now leave the pastors to do whatever dey like with God's money, their reward is waiting for them.

I really need your help .
My brother , don't let people decide for you. Pray to God & try to deepen your relationship with Him. Study the Holy scripture extensively, focusing on passages that reveal how to crucify the flesh & how to die to self. Always ask the Holy Spirit to enlighten & teach you. Pray, pray & continue praying. if you can, fast so as to mortify your body & bring it under submission. Always rely on God 4 grace & diligently seek His face. Try to be a doer of the words you read In the Bible. Let them be your guide. Let them always resonate in your mind as you do anything, especially when you feel tempted to sin. Then ask Him to direct you to where instructions guiding people to Heaven are being preached. Start by attending churches close to you. When you go, ask God to give you & pray that the Holy Spirit grants you discernment to be able to test the spirit of the messages you hear. 1 core thing you should look for in any church you intend to attend is whether they preach about the cross. Any church that doesn't teach that to follow Christ, 1 should deny himself & pick up his cross in the footsteps of our Lord is being economical with the truth. Avoid places that prioritizes material prosperity, signs & wonders over salvation of the soul. Avoid places where people aren't admonished to forsake iniquity & strive to do the will of God. Don't attend a place just because they have a good choir. The long & short of what i'm saying is let the Holy Spirit & knowledge that heaven is your desired destination be your guide in this decision.

My brother, there is no need to advertise the catholic church. Why do you think that we don't rent billboards to urge people to attend any of our parishes? We believe that God doesn't boast. He's a silent hard worker; it's left for we, His children to seek Him in the innermost recesses of our hearts. Also, there is no need to slight any of our separated brethren. We know who we are & that's enough. The best one can do is encourage the Op to truthfully & diligently seek God & pray that the Holy Spirit leads him to the fullness of truth.

Pls if you are sincere,
1.Start by accepting the lordship of Jesus Christ over your life so that his Spirit(Holyspirit) can empower you to live the triumphant life.
2.Purchase a good reference Bibles for studying about God & His kingdom.
3.Seek help from those you know are matured believers or visit a church your spirit leads you to(Read Paul's account in Acts 9vs1-43)

4. A little pamphlet / book that helped me then and other proselytes was "Now that you are saved_by Reinhard Bonke

Catholic Church and be a didicated legion of Mary member.



Meanwhile,are u an igboman working in Lagos and u re scared that you might loose ur job if Biafra is successful?

Read this

A lot of companies have their head quarter and head offices in Lagos and ogun state,producing for The Whole nation there.
If Biafra happens,nobody will allow them to produce and ship into biafraland,40% their production from Lagos and outside Biafraland will be stoped and production will be transferred to a city in biafraland.

If I work in Cadbury in Lagos,and we produce 5000 tones of bornvita daily,our company will open another production site in onitsha and transfer all igbos to that new headquarter ,and since there will be a decline in Lagos production,no need to employ new Yorubas to fill up the position.


Last bullet an Igbo man will be more contious of developing his home.

Jesus Christ.. who is asking this man about Biafra now, what the hell is wrong with this people?

Go where the word is being preached not where miracles are paraded on hanger. Shun cheap talk about what preachers have and focus more on what they carry. I have been a member of Living faith church and not for once have I had cause to regret my being a member. I get the word raw apply it and I became a miracle worker. We are taught the word cause the grass is evergreen for us. We are made a territorial commanders not a miracle seeker. Above all have a right standing with God, search for light by reading his word and keep winning soul for Christ, nothing brings cheap victory like your personal relationship with God. Ask the devil he knows and that he why he will make you accept comment that says church is a scam,cause the only one scammed is the person that finds himself/herself in hell!!!!!
