Religion: Brain Drain Or Brain Train! by Yommiefish(m): 11:57am On Jul 01, 2017
It is read somewhere that out of every 5
Nigerian Christians, 3 are Pastors, 1 is 'sensing'
the calling to ministry and the other 1 is
seeking for miracles from the first 3.
This is not revival, this is the effect of lack of
employment.
If we call it a revival, why then is crime on the
increase? Because every historic revival
reduced crime in the society since the
criminals would have had an encounter with
Jesus. So this can't be revival.

The reason why everyone is jumping into
ministry in Nigeria should give us concerns.
Religion has never developed any nation. So
the rising of more religious leaders should not
excite us.
In the next 20 years, Nigerians may not have 1
doctor for 50,000 people but will have 50,000
pastors for 1 person. Expatriates will take over
our labour market while young Nigerians will
be jumping from pulpit to pulpit across Africa
looking for who to ask for a prophetic seed in
exchange for a miracle.

We need to teach our young people that they
can fulfill ministry while coding in a
technological laboratory. We need to teach this
generation that pursuing ministry should not
stop them from pursuing a university degree
or trade. We need to 'de-religionize' the mind
of the average Nigerian. We need to do this
speedily before we get to the point of
justifying the conversion of hospitals to
cathedrals, factories to prayer camps and
colleges to prayer houses. We must teach this
generation that God gave us a knee to pray and
hands to work, mouth to preach and brain to
create - not knee without hands, nor mouth
without brains. We must hasten to remind this
generation that we can still be apostles and still
maintain a professional career.

Paul is our
witness.
If we get carried away with how our 10 year old
is preaching while his Chinese age mate is
building a robot, we might end up being re-
colonized when Trump's son becomes the
POTUS - because his then late father would
have advised him to do so.
Let's not forget that the Master charged us to
occupy until HE comes. Those who heard Him
first hand never asked "occupy what, how, why
and where" - can we be that peculiar
generation that will ask these questions?

Religion and Religiousity should no longer drain
our brain, it should train our brain. The blood
of Jesus didn't wash our brains, it washed our
sins.

Sorry but God isn't "saving" Nigeria. Nigeria is doomed like the rest of the world. Things won't get merrier.

My advice: Seek God because nothing else is worth it. At the end of all these, it would be clear that nothing else is worth it.

Is that the solution! You and I have a part to play in the redemption of this country. Away from religion to reality is what this is all about.

You Are Very Correct! He Cannot, without You. You are one of the people He has saved to safe this country. He is counting on the ability He has given you.

The world including Nigeria is doomed.

This world tho preserved by God hates God. And God is giving it over to sin completely.

Pursue peace with all men, Abide by the laws, rules and regulations of your country but note that God has not called us to better our country but to do His will.

If you are more passionate about your country than your God, then how can you say you are seeking Him. Or don't you know seeking God is seeking Him with all your heart.

We're did you get those statical figure from? How can you assumed based on perceptions that surrendering to Jesus changes man in Nigeria or don't men surrender in other countries? Do you think the population of Nigerians is mainly Christians to buttress religiosity? .Please verify facts, and have back up claims before posting
