Hun! wetin he even sabi sef? A nollywood actor always fond of grabbing women in their butts suddenly turned pastor. I wonder what christendom is turning into. Work of God no be wasa oo. It's much more deeper than acting. If you're not truly called, don't go there. You face a lot of attacks spiritually. The devil will tempt you with lusts, covetousness and greed. Once you fall like this, l'obatan. Your church becomes a shadow of itself.

The way some denominations are turning Christianity into family affairs nowadays is worrisome. Once the owner dies, his child or wife automatically replaces him. Were all those congregations won for them by God their own? What of their donations? Why not pick one pastor amongst them to succeed the owner?I pity those attending such churches. Jesus Christ is enough as the example. Christianity is a religion and not business empire as many have taken it to be.

I wonder why most of these founders and their families didn't emulate Pa Akindayomi, the founder of RCCG who allowed the Holy spirit to pick his successor.

I pray for this young man not to fall. It won't be funny at all. See him comparing long hair with dreads . Na wah oo.

Eriokanmi:
Exactly. Pastors are role models to their followers. I remember Christ Embassy. Because their leader maintains curly hair,which was natural bronze birth, most of his followers too do the same. Have you noticed this?

What this guy is planning to exhibit is not Christ-like. These are the signs of the last days so, I'm not surprised. Many are already rising and preaching their own doctrines and twisting the word of God to suit their doings, as predicted by the bible

tollyboy5:


I keep saying that many people will just open the bible and read the opinions of Paul when he was writing letters to different churches and now want to enforce Paul letters as the standard of Christianity.
Paul was not even amongst those that were with Christ and understood all what Christ was about. People like peter, James etc. Paul was an apostle like Barnabas and need validation from the disciples of Christ.
Any time you want to see a pastor or anyone cap about the bible they will quickly open to one of the books written by Paul.

Many people don't know that the Hebrew or Jewish religious practice is nothing similar or close to Christianity, its even closer to Islam than christian.

Without data I'm very sure an Israeli can easily switch to practice Islam compared to practicing Christianity.

As far as Judaism is concerned, you are right.
As far as Christianity is concerned, you are wrong.

See who's talking, are you the one who wrote the bible abi you are the P.A of God?

DIVINEEVIDENCE:
We wear suits and ties to work not because we love them above our jeans and sneakers, but because it is appropriate for the formal work environment.

People must encounter and interact with our dressing and appearance before interacting with us on a spiritual, emotional or psychological level.

There are kingly robes and presidential demeanor. To carry oneself unseemly without recourse to the office one occupies is the very apogee of puerility.

A G.O. who looks the part of a ruffian and sees no reason to moderate his appearance to compliment his spiritual (if any) impartation to his congregation is a ticking sh*t bomb.

I simply hope the church has not mistakenly cast their pearls to swine.

All in all, I see this church splintering very soon.
Mark my words.

If you read carefully, You would have seen. I was referring you your own definition of modesty. Someone not conforming to your idea of modesty doesn't mean they're not modest.
And the verses you posted do not in anyway see dreadlocks or earrings as not being modest.

You're just adding personal bread and butter to everything to look like scriptural backup lol.

SIRTee15:


Mr Man what is the propriety conduct expected for a clergy man on the ministry in a conservative country like Nigeria?
Dreadlocks n ear rings ?
U brought the definition here, not me.

Conduct and proprietary is key for a man entering the ministry. It's beyond ear ring or dreadlocks. It's about how people perceive u.

James 3:13.
Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom.

Colossians 4:5-6,
Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each

1 Peter 2:12.
Conduct yourselves with such honor among the Gentiles that, though they slander you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day He visits us.

1 Peter 3:16,
Yet do this with gentleness and reverence, keeping a clear conscience, so that when you are accused, those who disparage your good conduct in Christ will be put to shame.


Ephesians 5:15
Therefore, pay careful attention to how you conduct your life — live wisely, not unwisely.

A modestly dress American might look awkward to an African. When the European came to African a modest African man with his dress look awkward to an European.
While you're right that you need to look decent, lets not over flog the issue to make it look like something demonic if people don't conform to a general perceived standard of modesty.

tollyboy5:

Even festival like Christmas and most christian doctrine originating from Rome are not even tagged demonic.

It seems we Africans practice christian with too much zealousness compared to the British who brought Christianity down here.

SIRTee15:


Let me ask u a question. If you see your imam in Lagos smoking cigarettes. How will u perceive him.

SURElee:


Must every founder be like Pa Akindayomi? He chose his interpreter to succeed him.

Why didn't you blame Eli and Samuel who handed over to their sons?

Yes, I know you will soon say their sons failed. Yes, they failed because of their stubborn nature to corrections.

Give Jimmy a chance.

Who even made Christians assistant Jesus to judge. Didnt your Bible's say not to judge so you won't be judged?

Even the one picked my Late general overseer has made the church all about family business with wife heading various things and son openly Calling Pastors goats.


Abeg let God be the judge after all he said the judgement will start from his own house. A lot of pastors don't have long hair and tattoos but seep with female members and rape some.
Na God go judge las las.

How come the people who went to spy out the land, didn't judge Rahab?

Paul killed people yet God called him on his way to persecute some more. The God who called a killer to ministry, the God who didn't castigate the Samaritan woman and Mary with her alabaster jar of perfume is in the ministry of reconciling lost to him, he is looking beyond the physical and errors of men.

Same way even then Christians rejected Paul after h got converted is how Christians are rejecting Pastor J today,

Una go dey alright las las.

Same way some of you judged that foreign tattooed lady saving innocent kids of ill-treatment in akwa ibom, yet those judging without tattoos are nothing to write home about the Christianity you profess.

ANYBODY CAN DO THE WORK OF GOD.

DID IT NOT EVEN CROSS YOUR MIND THAT PASTOR TAIWO NOMINATED HIS CHILDREN TO LEAD THE CHURCH AND THE BOT OF THE CHURCH DIDN'T CONTEST IT LIKE WHAT HAPPENED YEARS AGO AFTER IDAHOSA'S DEATH?

SIRTee15:


Christmas is a festival. It has little to do with Christianity. Most churches don't celebrate it eg redeem church and deeper life.
And it's not compulsory for a Christian to celebrate Xmas.
It has nothing to do with your Christian life. Easter is even more relevant to us than Christmas.

tollyboy5:

Christmas is not celebrated in church. Most christian celebrate Christmas at home. Many churches hold carol night including redeem but its not a yard stick to judge the morals of majority Christians celebrating Christmas.

SIRTee15:


Good u removed the initial picture of the Pope.
This is America, their perception of smoking may be different.

I'm asking about Lagos.
If u see your imam smoking cigarettes in LAGOS, how would u perceive him.

That's my question.
