whytediamond:Did You Call Odumeje a Fake Pastor ? You need to read this ! I see some Christians posting all sorts of bad contents regarding Odumeje. This is wrong on every sides, because i have come to understand that pastors are not perfect like we make them to be. I had previously chosen to just ignore but let me state that Odumeje's crime is his inability to not speak English and his love for casual outfits. Odumeje has not done half of what your favourite pastors have done, i hope you are cognozant of this fact, because i grew up in the church. While your pastor is buying private Jets, building world standard edifices and schools that your children cant afford to attend, Odumeje was giving Money to fire victims, food to the poor and building roads. While your pastor was allegedly looking for another female victim to exploit sexually, Odumeje was showing his wife love and being a father to his beautiful children. Were we not here when Pastor Adeboye asked people to donate 1billion each? Were we not here when your GO in Abuja asked his members to Jump into the cleansing Pool for 50k? Are you not aware that your pastors sell mantle and olive oil? While your Pastors move around with Armed men, Odumeje is in the street mixing with street boys and girls, maybe thats why you call him a fake prophet. People that couldnt critisize the COZA pastor are insulting Odumeje and thats laughable. Some of your pastors have been banned from entering some countries because of fraud, are you aware ? Odumeje dances "in a worldly fashion" but your suit wearing and English speaking pastor wines and dines with corrupt politicians. I can go on and on but let me not open fowl nyash. Things that will make u a man of God 1: Your relationship with God 2. Your way of life 3: And ur spiritual background. Pls deduct that mindset that reading ur bible, speaking good English we make u a man of God 5 Likes 1 Share |

The pentecostal tongue speaking, which is speaking languages of other tribes is the only acceptable language... Whatever anyone is speaking today is not a tongue. There's no point speaking language neither you or your congregation knows the meaning... How the hell then did you know your talking to God when you have no idea what you're saying? 1 Like |

Why Do We need to speak/pray in Tongues?. It is caption like this that makes it look as if it is a must to pray in tongues hence the need to fake language that you don't even understand in the name of praying, making a mokery of Christianity. You do not need to pray in Tongues. Pray in the language you understand with the name Jesus Christ. The name "Jesus Christ" gives power and authority to prayers. |

I was expecting to read an exposé that clearly distinguishes speaking in tongues and praying in tongues. But I think the simplest explanation is Speaking in tongues requires interpretation for the church to blessed; which implies that Speaking in tongues plus interpretation equals PROPHECY. Praying in tongues on the other is personal matter with the Holy ghost. That is why the Bible says "when I pray in other tongues, my spirit prays but my comprehension is useless" So don't criticize people that pray in tongues that what they are speaking is incomprehensible. The Bible clearly talks about the tongues of men and of angels. So if the person praying in the tongues doesn't have understanding, wetin be your own? It's his or her business with the Holy Spirit. I've read several testimonies about the benefits of praying in tongues. #TeamKabasch 7 Likes 3 Shares |

MPESA:Some time back in school, someone actually prayed for me, and was trying to "invoke" the gift of tongues into me. Like she was praying and "speaking in tongues" so that I could start speaking in tongues that moment. Aunty pray tire and was expecting that I would start faking it. Honestly, I tried to fake it, but I just couldn't. Why would I stay and start saying nonsense for no reason? 7 Likes 1 Share |

point5: They are not speaking rubbish, it is an in filling of the Holy Ghost. It happens always. You do not need a feeling or a supernatural touch to speak in tongues. The Holy spirit gives you utterance once you open your mouth by faith to pray. If you are born again, you have received the Holy spirit, just open your mouth by faith and the Holy Ghost will give you utterance. 1 Like |

Youngzedd: This comment is apt. I believe that speaking in tongues is biblical and from God but as usual, the church of today has corruptted it. This days, men of God behave as if God does not hear English again. Immediately prayer starts, you'll start, next thing you'll hear is pray in the holy spirit, then the rabbababashobobo mazamaza lekuleukumarama will start. And it's funny cos everybody is gifted with the gift of tongues but no body can interpret. Like I thought interpretation of tongues is also a gift of the spirit. Why is it only tongues that every dick and Harry is gifted with, few people have the gift of healing, they cannot discern spirits, no gift of wisdom or understand, abi is it prophesy? The most annoying is if you are praying in English your thing, they'll come and lay hands on you and start commanding you to speak in tongues. I went to believers loveworld fellowship one day and they told the usual first timers to wait behind. Only for the sister's to start laying hands on all of us telling us to speak in tongues. What nonsense, what if they was a Muslim who was invited by his friend. Again, I thought the holy spirit doesn't dwell in a sinful person. 90% of these guys speaking in tongues are liars, fornicators, cheater. We know them, we see them. Finally, that tongues thing is mostly faked by people. I know cos under pressure I have faked speaking it and it's annoying to remember. Also, if you listen to them, you'll know that a particular tongue is been spoken continuously by a particular person all their life. E.g sister Gloria is always saying yayayayayabezerere suzaya while brother Joseph is always saying rabarobosenterebe. Fake fake and fake Please let's be guided and stop making the name of God a thing of mockery. 8 Likes |

Missyajoke: Theory as usual. Did you dig this out from your foundation manual? OP, what does the bible say the Holyspirit will make you? You are to be witnesses of God. Acts 1:8 What does it mean to be a witness? It means that win souls through your personal experience. Not what your pastor asked you to recycle. On that note, can you share with us how you received the gift of speaking in tongues? You claim some don't have spiritual vocabulary, did you pastor also teach you that? Cos there was no mention of that in the bible. Like you yourself quoted, it is the Spirit that gives utterance not your pastor teaching you spiritual vocabulary. Having clarified that, can you witness to us what your personal experience with the Holyspirit is. And if it is not too much to ask, kindly share with us what He has told you concerning Covid-19, cos I'm sure being so intimate with him he couldn't possibly hide a pandemic of this magnitude from his beloved. 1 Like |

A close one to God for that matter... God only banished Satan, he didn't take away his language or powers. in case you don't know, there's just one language in heaven. Dude, speaking in tongues is simply speaking human tongue of different tribes aside yours. 2 Likes |

1Corinthians14:27-28 27. If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course: and let one interpret. 28. But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church and let him speak to himself , and to God. The above is very specific.... very clear... no room for misinterpretation. In the church.... the direct opposite of the above is practiced.... but like OP.... we can explain why. Isn't it the Devil who goes against God's instructions?...and explains why? 1 Like |
