Skillz92: Sometimes, when fortune and fame hits home, especially the one that comes with a highly successful international football career, it becomes a challenge keeping our values, beliefs and religion.
With an estimated two billion Christians in the world, you can expect there to be a large number of Christian football players in the world, right? Well, how many practicing Christians can you name, from the English Premier League, Spanish La Liga, and other international leagues?
Here is a list of top ten international footballers. These footballers have often time professed their allegiance to God either through their way of life, social media posts, or vows publicly made to God, and of course their goal celebration patterns.
Please note that this list is arranged based on a combination of the players’ public commitment to the Christian faith and their net worth.
The former Everton goalkeeper is currently plying his trade at Colorado Rapids.
The United States international is an International Christian Footballers, who considers Jesus Christ most important in his life.
“The most important thing in my life is Christ. He’s more important to me than winning or losing or whether I’m playing or not. Everything else is just a bonus.”
He is also involved with Athletes in Action, a ministry arm of Campus Crusade for Christ.
The Uruguayan striker for several years has embraced the Christian faith and come to be part of that group of professional athletes in all discipline who share love for Jesus Christ and recognise him as the Lord and Saviour of their lives.
The official site of the Athletes of Christ explains, ‘These athletes have the responsibility to live a Christian life to the unanimous will of God in the world of sport’. Cavani, who makes no secret of his faith decided to tell it all in a book he published titled ‘Quello che ho nel cuore. Vita, calico e fede, meaning ‘Series of Enlargements’.
A strong Christian upbringing helped the 30 year-old Ex- Ajax, Borussia Dortmund and Spurs star, find Christ- “My Mum is a very committed Christian and was always on my case’’, he smiles. “No-one can force you to believe, though. I just listened at Church and everything made sense”.
And about the vest- “I wear the vest because God is truly great. He is on high. I believe he is with me and the angels are guiding me on the pitch and the vest is a way of acknowledging this”
The 28 year old Liverpool striker has revealed that he reads the bible every morning. He said his love for the book came from his parents who urged him to read it on Sundays.
According to him; “That was important for me growing up. It’s part of my routine and I do it every day”. After winning the Barclays player award of the month, he said “I do all through Christ who strengthens me”.
Andrés Iniesta Luján is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for FC Barcelona and the Spain national team. He serves as the captain for Barcelona.
The 33 year old player is married with kids and is often known to not only talk about his religion but also travel for pilgrimages.
His pre-match routine sees him kneel on the halfway line with his palms outstretched. Popularly known as ‘Chicarito’. The 29 year old footballer plays for both his country (Mexico) and also recently transferred to West Ham United.
He is a devoted Roman Catholic. Javier once speaking about his faith said;
“I like to ask God to take care of me because he gave me the opportunity to play. I talk to God and I let him take care of the health of both teams because the worst things for a sportsman are injuries and there are a lot of accidents on that pitch that nobody wants.”
International football star and Chelsea defender vowed to abstain from sex until after he is married in an instagram post which included his baptism.
The International Christian Footballers posted a message alongside the picture which read “I have chosen to wait’. Luiz said he will abstain from sex until he marries girlfriend Sara Madeira, according to Telegraph He then added; “How wonderful to live with you Lord, thank you for loving me so much and taking care of me! My life is yours and I am your servant! You are always in the centre of all my decision. I love my God! Amen”.
Rooney is an English football player, a Catholic, and appears to be quite religious. In the year 2002 he was seen wearing a rosary around his neck during practice and he was questioned by a reporter that what is it for-he replied – it’s my religion……”
The reporter stopped him saying “we don’t do religion here”. Luckily, Rooney who is an astute defender of the gospel replied saying “….. Right from my teenage I pray to God to win football games, now that I am an adult, I take my faith even more seriously…”
Though born desperately poor he lived near a dangerous shantytown in the city of Rio de Jameiro, he was able to overcome these hardships and achieve great success in the eyes of the whole world.

mdokaba1: Bill Gate is pictured with kids in Tanzania during one of his school feeding programme in the country.
Hear Him;
" Hello from Tanzania, Instagram! I just had a great lunch with some amazing kids at Kicheba Primary School in Muheza and met Upendo Mwingira, a remarkable physician who has dedicated her career to fighting neglected tropical diseases".
While Atiku Abubakar is picture in same context with school kids two years ago in Yola during one of his school feeding projects in Adamawa state.
Why pick on Atiku's gesture as having a political undertone, but see Gate's within the purview of humanitarianism.

Former President, Goodluck Jonathan, has on Saturday, sent a strong warning to the President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress, APC, to never again intimidate the members of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, or be ready for a showdown.
Jonathan sent this warning during the PDP National non-Election Convention, currently being held at the Eagle Square, Abuja.

“I want to send a strong warning to the Buhari-led APC, never again to intimidate the PDP members, because the opposition party is ready to take over power. We wont be afraid of any intimidation.”

The location of where the man stays isn't actually necessary...Anyway congrats to them
My wife to be's character has been terrible since we did our trad. Now I dont know if I should halt my wedding plans slated for this Saturday.
Her and her family are very domineering and rude. She shouts at me at the top of her voice and does not respect me. I have done Trad and Court wedding. what can I do for God's sake
My dear i want to remind u that marriage is not what u will jump in and jump out at will......is only death that is permitted to separate the both of u for us Christians. Since u've seen her true character, it is better to halt the marriage and run for ur dear life than to regret it all the days of ur life. A broken relationsjip is better than a broken marriage.
ebukahandsome: No:1 is a big lie. I visited that church twice, and after seeing his cars while am using my legedis benz i wondered why all these so called men of God are living large while poor members sow their hard earned money as seed. I wonder if this was what jesus thought
My dear he is not the reason for your inability to have a car. The Bible said u should seek first the kingdom of christ and everything will be added unto u....
hopefulLandlord: only a wasted sperm would take that post of obinna58 so seriously
And u that reacted to the comment, that means u are more of a wasted sperm......i use to think that u are of the fsm category buh it's obvious that u are actually confused
obinna58: I believe in Jon snow accept him as ur personal Lord and Savior cos he is the way, the truth, and the Life, no one goes to the Father without Jon snow
jonbellion: Jesus was born of a virgin Jon snow was born of a prince Jon snow died and rose again with proof Jon snow killed a white walker Jesus was killed by a couple of nails and shiit Jon snow is the prince that was promised Jesus was the messaih the hews rejected Jon snow is ice and fire. Jesus is just Jewish Jon snow united the wildlings. Jesus divided his people in just few years of his ministry Jon snow can warg (I think). Jesus insulted a tree Jon snow is the king in the north despite his bastard status(which he's not anyways). Jesus is also a bastard(he was born out of wedlock) but he he was just the wannabe king of the Jews Jon snow has a fukking direwolf! Jesus rode a donkey Jon snow knows nothing Your true lord and saviour
Is this the origin of the jon in ur name?....heavy sense fall on u
That is not an answer....u sounded as if u've been scammed by all the pastors on planet Earth.....for the fact u've one or two bad experiences with some pastors doesn't mean u should generalize it.
realtem: I would appreciate it if you could please give answers, to the best of your knowledge, to these questions:
1. WHY DID GOD CREATE THE UNIVERSE
2. WHY DID GOD CREATE MAN
3. WHATS YOUR VIEW ON THE TRINITY(IF YOU BELIEVE IN IT)
Cc::: KingEbukasBlog, spacetacular,felixomor huhhhh, Joshthefirst..... I ran out of monikers.
I would've have loved to help u but i will not because ur time is out for some kind of serious arguments. When u need genuine help, just lemme me know.
[quote author=superhumanist post=59337675]I must first state that I am not an atheist but I am a deist. I was enlightened by an atheist when I was a christian and I left the religion.
Having grown up in a religious village, I was exposed to a lot of superstitious beliefs which were sometimes harmful to innocent people. It was an atheist roommate in the city who helped me to understand that life is not kind to ignorant superstitions. I will never forget this roommate of mine who fought with me tirelessly in order to get me to stop doing ignorant things in the name of religion. I hated him in the beginning and now I really respect him.
I still believe in a god but not the christian god or personal god.
I believe that atheists have a role to play in Nigeria even if it only begins on the internet. Atheists could save many people from superstitious rubbish. What if I told you that I regret beating up a child who I thought was a witch? An innocent child. That was who I was when I was deeply religious. My point is that atheists should keep up the arguments and debates. You never know who you could change.
I know some people will disagree with me and that is fine. It is a free world. Peace.[/quote) Congrat on ur new found ignorance....What makes u think that ur new found god is not full of superstitious believes too.
i've recieved mine.. The school contacted us and we went and took the letters. That was on Friday. Pls who knows the deadline for sending the acceptance letters? And are we to send them ourselves or return the letters to the school to send to them since they sent the letters via our schools?
Yhelay: Please father give me the grace to follow You till the very end, oh Lord I pray
And the Grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say no to all ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously and godly, in this present world; looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our saviour Jesus Christ. .......God will see u through dear as u hold on to that which u have received.
profpromise: Female Corps member who shows off her bo-obs & underwear while wearing the NYSC uniform Expelled?
Why on earth will she even do that? Reports Indicates that she is on a querry and she should prayer hard or face expulsion. A NYSC member, Eva,who serves in Lagos, has sent people talking after she showed off her b00bs and underwear while wearing her uniform.
Absolutely no respect for this once respected uniform anymore.
JamieNaijaTeam: Ghanaian Actresses, Ella Mensah and Sophia Diva attended the Africa Movie Academy Award like every other actor did but caused a stir with their indecent dressing.
Ella Mensah's make up though, and Sophia had to cover her coochie with a love smiley.
It's quite saddening how ladies dress these days in other to get approval from men while their male counterpart will dress properly and covered themselves well...#Ladies get sense#
somehow: Has you "god" ever restored any physical body parts that was lost? Physical and I am not talking those in the book. I am talking anything recorded with pictural or video evidence.
I am waiting..
I have answered ur question and am waiting for u to answer mine... I do not intend to enter into argument with u buh if u care to fine out, u can google what God used the likes of Kumar, A.A Allen and the likes of them to do.
hollawaley2: Fire breathing is the act sango worshipers practise by creating a precise mist of fuel from the mouth and spitting it over an open flame. This act is from The Sango Deity As he breathes fire naturally. But this particular sango worshiper at an event got more than he bargained as the mist fuel leaked onto his mouth and in the process, caught fire
JUDASiskariot: How did you know it's a mystery and that God is not a mystery that no one can know?
Since u really wants to know who created God, i will advice u strife to make to Heaven because u will get a chance of asking Him that question personally.
