I know you want people to see that you are a Christian, there is nothing wrong about that. But also know that
CHRISTIANITY IS A THING OF THE MIND AND NOT A THING OF THE SIGHT. BECAUSE GOD IS A SPIRIT WHO DESERVES TO BE WORSHIPPED MORE SINCERELY IN SPIRIT, NOT NECESSARILY DOING RELIGION FOR HUMANS TO SEE

A scripture says "with the heart man believeth unto righteousness..."
CHRISTIANITY IS BEST PRACTICED IN THE HEART WHERE EVERY ACTIONS COMES FROM
You are only righteous all because you believed in Christ in the heart.
Your belief in pastors sermons can never make you righteous, they can only make you a good person only if the pastor is preaching the truth.

Being a good person is one thing, but being righteous is a total different thing entirely. It only comes with Grace.
You already have that Grace to be righteous by virtue of your belief in Christ, but some of you Christians don't know.

As a Christian, do you ever feel that you are unreasonably committed to religion?
What that means is that, are you giving your time and resources to your local church without the church management fully explaining with facts to you, as to how these resources are being used, or are you still saying to yourself why should i question God?
Or do you feel cajoled to give to the church on controversial reasons like tithing?

Then certainly, you are in bondage

The only way you can Emancipate yourself is to read and understand your bible on your own without the influence of your church.
That means, don't allow the church to interprete certain verses of the bible to you, they will only do that at their own advantage while you are the one loosing. But you will never be aware of this because, some scriptures requires intelligence to understand, couple with how much time you have given yourself to read the bible.
And since pastors have given their time to read the bible than you, it follows that you can't beat them in the game.
They will become wealthier while some of you will remain poorer

For those who can't read and write, you are doomed into religious bondage, no one can help you.

Your ignorance of scriptures or illiteracy or inability to read have absolutely nothing to do with your salvation in Christ, because the gift of salvation is absolutely free irrespective of who you are, so long you believe in Christ you are justified into heaven.

But while you are here on earth you will certainly be exploited by pastors and religion if you don't have wisdom and understanding. It is for this reason that many Christians have resolved into atheism when they were halfway realizing themselves without having the full knowledge of scriptures, I'm saying this so that you do not fall into that trap.

The bible is a complete book, it educates with wisdom.
The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom
Christianity is knowledge and power. It will crush any opposition or Antichrist that surfaces in your life only if you practice it with LOVE AND JUSTICE and not with the mind to exploit

IF NIGERIA MUST EXIST, NIGERIANISM AS A RELIGION MUST THRIVE FAST.
STOP OIC, ARABUNITY, CHRISTIANITY, ISLAM ETC. AND EMBRACE NIGERIANISM.

NIGERIANISM IS THE FAITH, HOPE PEACE AND LOVE. IT IS THE BLOOD SON AND WORD OF GOD.
