People don't care like they used to....they don't attend meetings...

Is that how it is in your church?

Every aspect of our daily lives has or will change as a result of technology, I didn't understand why churches like Daystar had their services virtually when their pastor was not in town until COVID hit. The truth of the matter is that the church has for long been fishing from its bathtub, I certainly believe that God was at the centre of the pandemic, I mean, how will the gospel be preached to the ends of the earth as a testimonial the way we ran services pre COVID? Now ever church is online the gospel is being streamed every single day so there is no excuse that one didn't hear.

By the way metaverse is coming and it has the potential of eliminating physical gathering both at work, religious gathering, social gathering etc. The church is not prepared for that yet, but it is a reality unfolding before our eyes.

Many workers in church belong to the middle class, that have been introduced to a new work template which combines remote work and physical work. Combined with this, the seclusion of the pandemic necessitated a rethink, revaluation, and retrospective thinking. Things have not been working out for people but the activity of church has masked this up. There are so many factors that have influenced people from returning to church, but the bigger question is has the church done an analysis of the problem and how to solve it save calling people to find out why the are not coming?

Actually covid-19 was a blessing in disguise. An eye-opener. People became aware of themselves. They saw that all the while they were only used as A.T.Ms for there men of god. All the monies they contributed for years, the one they call TITHES, they saw that all those monies could not prevent them from terrible starvation during lock-down. The moment you understand that if ministry was not lucrative, your god of men would still stick to there civil-service jobs. Thank you.

Yea i agree to that many stop or reduced their activities in church after covid 19. Some might say its because churches started online services which might b 10% reason. Buh 90% reason was because many Christian gave up on churches, during lockdown the people that contribute to church growth were left to suffer some of them haven't got back to their feet. The hunger that set in was much because d govt were to corrupt to provide some of the basic needs of people. The people last hope were entrusted in churches to come to their aid buh then online tithe n offering paying was introduced�. Now seeing the churches have failed them started struggling to survive on theirs, even many went to the rural area to survive.
So after the lockdown many because of the past event decide not attend any church activities buh believe to pray from home n wen some attend giving of offerings seems hard��

Those are seasonal/ conditional workers that are there when they are fine ,but go on strike when things are not going on well.

This sounds like what an MOG would say to guilt trip unsuspecting church workers grin

Did you realize that many people lost their job as a result of covid and are working twice as hard to make half they used to make. This means they cannot afford the luxury of time and ten percent reduction from meagre salary means a lot to them.


And how far have they gone holding on to the 10%? If you're a child of God, tithe and given to God won't even be an issue to you. If you consider the free air, health and so many other benefits that are way beyond what any government can provide and yet collect monthly tax, dues ,levy etc

To tell the truth, Nigerians go to church for properity, not for eternal life after death. Give the average Nigerian Christian 20 million naira and watch his true colours emerge.

A lot of these people always sought for an excuse to attend church services less! Covid-19 provided them the leeway they had been seeking for years!

Because iniquity abounds the love of many is waxing cold.
And most Christians have failed to realised that we're actually present in the times of the last hours of the last days which Apostle Paul spoke to Timothy about, that it's going to be difficult to be a Christian .
So care for one another and pray for one another.
