Too Bad |

victorazy:That was so dumb. The Pastor was taking the safety of his members into consideration, inspite of the millions he would have raked in as offering and seeds. |

Jesus was taken to Egypt as a baby after Herod heard that the King of kings was born. The Angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph to take baby Jesus away from Herod's men. Don't judge whatever any church leader does; Let them be guided according to their Master. |

Lucy001: Your bible has obviously been covered with layers and layers of dust. Pls dust it up and read. Dat is, if you get bible. |

Sm of d comments i'v read here r so dumb. These r d same pple dat'll come on nairaland here nd berate pastors 4 nt taking cautionary measures 2 protect their members. So, because we r christians, we shld nt take caution in d face of evident danger? thehomer:i.d.i.o.t. The last persn i remember saying this was d devil himself wen he was bent on tempting Jesus. Faith without works is dead. |

I dnt knw y pple dont think deeply bfr writing on thread. In d first place isnt it obvious dt ds is not xtian vs muslim war? Knwing quite well dt a lot of muslims has been killed by bokoharam. Secondly is it nt stupidity to jump into burning fire? Believing God is nt to put him on foolish test, |
Re: Okotie Cancels New Year Eve Service by Phony200(m): 12:44pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
Will a man test God wt the lives of so many others? I think not. @Egypt comment, someone needs to look away and slap himself. |
Re: Okotie Cancels New Year Eve Service by erniewhez(m): 12:54pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
"Thou shall nt tempt d lord ur God" says d bible. The israelites did nt get their victory over egypt by staying there to be cheaply slained. They fled to d wilderness and God fought d battle for them. We shld condemn ds bokoharam sect and nt taking advantage to condemn other pple religion. |

Lucy001: Jesus was the one taken to Egypt in Matt 2:14, while Joseph was taken to Egypt in Gen 39:1. The two characters in question were actually taken to Egypt. stagger: |

Lucy001:Hey dear, baby Jesus ws taken 2 Egypt too. I think u were looking at it frm a diff. context. |
Re: Okotie Cancels New Year Eve Service by amefi(m): 1:59pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
isquar3d3: Yeah, baby Jesus was taken by His parents to Egypt when king Herod was after the new born king. Thereafter, He was brought back after the death of Herod. On the other hand, Joseph was sold by his bothers to the Egyptian merchant and one thing led to the other and he became a prime minister there. He never came back to Israel alive, but his bones. |

That is it. Even people can no longer bold enough to go out to the place of worship or even sleep well in their houses anymore just because of the rein of terror by some buffoons Islamist sect who doesn't even represent a true Muslims. This is what we ask for as a Nation, to ignore the fact and choose to embrace tribal and religious sentiment to select a competent leader. Where is GEJ and the rest top leaders and their security chiefs ? Are they too scare to sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep |
Re: Okotie Cancels New Year Eve Service by EvilBrain1(m): 2:13pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
My advice is that all christians should stay at home tonight. Or at the very least, avoid all the megachurches and stick to smaller ones. There's nothing going on in church that is worth getting killed over. Anybody who is banking on divine protection should think about the innocent children who got blown up on christmas day and know that god is not going to protect anybody. This is the new reality, we have to deal with it. |
Re: Okotie Cancels New Year Eve Service by Kushite: 2:23pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
Religion itself is fraud Okotie knows that, hence his advice to his members (fools) not to show up to avoid being slaughtered by mad men of the North, just to keep the members alive long enough to keep donating their money to him in the name of God. BUMBOKLAAT |
Re: Okotie Cancels New Year Eve Service by yesboss20(m): 2:42pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
Father, kindly forgive those making blasphemies on this thread for they comprehend not matters of the Spirit. Amen. In response to some comments, Christianity is not a religion for foolishn behaviour; it is a way of life in total belief & faith in Jesus Christ as the Saviour of mankind! We believers have divine destinies to fulfill and dying for no cause is simply not right! |
Re: Okotie Cancels New Year Eve Service by thameamead(f): 2:44pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
yesboss20: GBAM!!!!!! |
Re: Okotie Cancels New Year Eve Service by thameamead(f): 2:46pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
Kushite: GBAM!!!! Okote is a 24 carat gold fraudster, am sick of all these wealthy pastors scamming people left, right and centre. |
Re: Okotie Cancels New Year Eve Service by OmoPastor(m): 2:47pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
If you start running away from church now, very soon they will sack you from your homes. if you give in to them now, you will keep at it until they take over your life. @ kushite Religion itself is fraud Okotie knows that, hence his advice to his members (fools) not to show up to avoid being slaughtered by mad men of the North, just to keep the members alive long enough to keep donating their money to him in the name of God. BUMBOKLAATwhy are you so concerned and particular about offerings? Is your money involved? Are the people complaining to you? @evil brain (what a name, be it unto you so!) My advice is that all christians should stay at home tonight. Or at the very least, avoid all the megachurches and stick to smaller ones. There's nothing going on in church that is worth getting killed over.. What do you know? how can you understand when you are blind and unlearned! Anyway, you should know that you cannot run forever, you must face them one day, so why not now! |
Re: Okotie Cancels New Year Eve Service by OLASODE2K: 2:53pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
i strongly believe boko haram is too busy trying to avoid the security agencies ever shrinking dragnet in the north to ever try to come south where the consequences of such grand stupidity could greatly endanger the lives of those moslem northerners they claim to protect. unlike in the north where they enjoy vast northern population that is disillusioned and angry with GEJ govt, such cover is lacking down here. however, the decision by those churches not to open for services, will only goad boko haram into seriously attacking them in order to drive them into the atlantic ocean. moreover, these pastors are inadvertently telling their flocks that their faith is much more shallower than those of boko haram. |
Re: Okotie Cancels New Year Eve Service by tlops(m): 3:19pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
Boko Haram is achieving their aim, to scare people away from church. but they can always attack on any regular sunday! so I think its not worth missing the congregational prayer! IMO. |
Re: Okotie Cancels New Year Eve Service by lagerwhenindoubt(m): 3:35pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
I cannot believe abotu 40-50 million christians in Nigeria cannot simply pray the Boko-Haram problem away like they do their other problems -sheesh! |
Re: Okotie Cancels New Year Eve Service by Joagbaje(m): 4:01pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
Security is common sense but not to the extent of canceling worship meetings. |
Re: Okotie Cancels New Year Eve Service by tlops(m): 4:04pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
if they dont attack tonight, it doesn't mean you will escape the nxt sunday, or the next after that and so on. infact we stop going to church because we fear Boko boiz. |
Re: Okotie Cancels New Year Eve Service by Image123(m): 4:07pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
WATCH and pray. Don't just pray, but watch and pray. Many suspected that the bombers will strike on independence day and christmas day, they did. They may also strike on new year day, so why not be wise. Jesus has already died for nigeria, even for the whole world. There's no need for anybody to be killed for nothing. If atheists and sinners like, let them gather. At least if they can't give their lives to Jesus, they'll give it to BH. Wisdom is profitable to direct. |
Re: Okotie Cancels New Year Eve Service by tlops(m): 4:13pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
but the attack is like a theif in the night, no one knows when, but I understand the watching part. |
Re: Okotie Cancels New Year Eve Service by Image123(m): 4:14pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
Joagbaje:Am i very suprised? If it was Christ embassy that cancelled first, you'd be here spewing out scripture verses to support. But no, it's the next door pest, right? And something's wrong with cancelling worship meeting. Better be responsible for the security of your many branches, and not put lives at unnecessary risks. |
Re: Okotie Cancels New Year Eve Service by tlops(m): 4:15pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
Joagbaje: CE better have lots of security checks in place. happy new year1 |
Re: Okotie Cancels New Year Eve Service by logica(m): 4:21pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
They apparently received a security alert being circulated by United Nations officials, claiming an attack is planned for Lagos. We dey wait. |
