Did you receive the Holy Spirit, does not have to mean you spoke in tongues as a prove, but you felt renewed, and Joy.

If you did, then pray to God and read your bibile and ask him to help you understand and discern, and watch various pastors even from other countries and trust me, you will develop your sense of dicernment with the help of God, not by man.

You are seeking mans wisdom, not the wisdom of God, its time to seek God for yourself not mans wonder. Like your pastors in Nigeria want you to think their drama and high voice is sufficient.

sageb:


Are you a Judaism follower?

NACE13:


LOL. Exactly what I thought.
I'll try my best to enjoy my week ahead. Well, I woudn't wanna judge until I get there though. I hope you do the same too.

joshkke:


Then look for the genuine ones, pls

Icarus99:
Pastor say we don finish bible

Sundays are usually set aside for church, to worship and praise God.

-So many still derive pleasure in going to church despite life's challenges.
-Yet so many have stopped going to church due to one reason or the other.

If you fall in the second category, kindly share why you stopped going to church.
Let's encourage one another in love.

The answers to our questions and the solution to our problems are in the Presence of God- in our personal secret place and the gathering of saints.

Meanwhile, let's prep for service.
Prayers are still being answered.

orumba:
Church people are the most wicked people. Period

That guy na dumbo who lacks simple comprehension. The question was directed @ those who had quit church and their reasons for doing so. And not suggesting that they should quit church as this guy seems to be saying.

oranget:

OP dey ment? And you claim to be a child of God. I tire for this generation of Christians.

MokunfopeAM:


You said Muslims are irritating and start calling them names, that's one thing you'll never hear about Muslims badmouthing or calling christians all sorts of names. Like I still don't know who's more irritatiting

SeriouslySense:
Its okay to talk about it, rather than hiding it.

Why pretend, and its reality and people should be wiser.

Jbleenk:
I read that at 95% Nigeria is next only to Afghanistan at 98% as the MOST PRAYERFUL COUNTRY in the whole world.

It is not a coincidence that both counties are the most corrupt and two of the fastest decaying countries of the world.

Whereas on the other hand, China at 1%, UK at 6% and Switzerland at 6% are ranked as the LEAST PRAYERFUL COUNTRIES in the whole world.

No surprise.

Ironically, my people in Nigeria are praying, fasting, casting and binding and their Pastors are Prophesying for them to get VISAS to go and slave it out in those foreign, less prayerful countries by adding to their LABOUR FORCE and helping to improve the PRODUCTIVITY in those countries.

My people won't have much space to PRAY when they get to Europe. It is all round work else you don't survive.

We were never like this. We were targeted and railroaded into the situation we find ourselves and the people we have become today.

We were deliberately misguided and pulled out of our various peaceful and less congested locations where we are very productive, and brought or perhaps forced out to live the congested city arrangement where we became much less productive and dependent on the finished goods from the lands of the people who railroaded us into the cities.

We need to reverse the sequence that brought us here

The very first step to take control of our lives is to MAN UP TO THE PEOPLE DOING THESE THINGS TO US.

There is an urgent need for a reversal of the trend of Rural-Urban Migration.

We must become INDUSTRIALIZED and the very start point is massive investment in AGRICULTURE.

The various Governments at state levels must work out ways to decentralize their city centers by at least adding value to the rural communities such that our people can return to rejig our society from the very base.

But we are not doing this.

The controllers of our National life are making certain that RELIGION is permanently on the top burner for us and in our consciousness. They are funding these people you see carrying ÒSÙKÁ on their heads and the PASTORPRENEURS to do what they do.

They are making certain through their activities that AS A PEOPLE we are permanently glued to religion and forever listening to the ADEBOYES of this country.

Pastor Adeboye's recent comment on the ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN crises, calling for prayers for Israel, is enough to reveal his hypocrisy, insincerity.and true self.

These people are agents of NEOCOLONIALISM. I don't think anyone should argue this!

I'm still trying to convince myself that I should go and worship a god who expects me to praise him when things go right and still praise him without asking questions when things go wrong.

Ferdinandu:
I just realised that I have been deceiving myself, that I don't even believe in most of the things they preach in church, I was just forcing myself to believe them, like going to heaven, like the cock and bull story of Tithes and offering. I only see the smarter persons outsmarting others either to enrich themselves or up their social standing. Even their sole aim of preparing for their life after death, a communal life that is supposed to take care of every member has been discarded a long time ago for oppression on who bought the best cars,best houses, who dresses best, who has the most influence, who has the best spouse and the best children, who receives the most of their imaginary miracles .Everywhere reeks of hypocrisy. I just left the whole brouhaha behind and since then I never felt I missed anything and I have learnt to take care of myself, understanding that successes and failures , pains and joy are all part of life, you will always meet all in your life irrespective of who you are, or who you claim to serve. Above all we all must die and be forgotten

Skyview01:


You completely missed the purpose of the thread.

This thread has nothing whatsoever to do with muslims. It's a soul searching one where people come out and give reasons why they stopped going to churches.

Churches and mosques are the reasons for the mass decline in critical reasoning in this country.

SAMBARRY:
I like when adults take responsibility for their actions and not blame any pastor and one of the reasons I went to school is to have the requisite capacity to think for myself without relying on any external factor like what pastors say,what society says. blaming pastors or imams for a society that doesn't think critically in itself is not Intelligent.

Na pastor go tell me the types of life choices that I'll make that will better my life? Pastor can only counsel based on their own perspective Na your choice to take it or not and Na your choice to use your brain so don't blame it on any pastor or imam.

Pastor or imam fit tell me sambarry you need to pay your tithes if you want to prosper and that's as far as they can go.them no fit put hand for my pocket make I pay tithes by force so it's left for me to use my brain and know when to detect biblical truth from manipulations (doctrines of men)

EniHolar:
I'm in church

Please let me concentrate

frankblinkz:
I was born in a kind of church were you think that it's only us that will make heaven and every other church are not worshipping a true God.
That's how I was program to accept my own church as a Christian,so I asked myself with this were is the love amongst us as christians with other christians.

Last last No pastor is fulfilling the commandments that said thou shall love thy neighbor as thy self.
If you doubt me,Ask if any deeper life pastor can attend a celestial church program obeying their instructions by removing their footwears too,and also a Lord's choosen pastor attend a Catholic adoration program.
Vice versa for other churches.
Pastors keep scattering the bible to suit their own selfish interests.
Pastors keeps investing members money on different businesses.
Owning of schools that members can't afford.
Competition of biggest churches.
Dunamis is highest capacity more than a football stadium.
They now have five services on a Sunday,Ah !! What happened to preaching against lateness to church.
This time don't worry come any time with your offerings.
Pastors make themselves God, compelling women to respect them more than their husbands.
You cannot visit any church in peace,they will ask for first timers and trap them convincing to always come back,so the person don't have a church before coming to yours or what.
Imagine coming to pay me a visit as a pastor without calling to know if I'm around just because your church is still new..
Once it's members are large,they don't remember you exist.
Once they need more money they hold programs with heavy titles for a week.

Inside church you will bring items as gift for pastor,they stay in your presence and resell it.
I swear person fit buy one garden egg for 30k inside church (no be juju be that)

Church is purely a business
Omo work hard and pray to God, your prayers will be answered
