When the mind and your spirit is not connected or eager to hear what God has to say then sleep comes through which is a deception. That's why it is good for you in some cases to always pray before the word to open your mind, heart, spirit and soul so as to be attentive and ready to hear from God.


...Or when those to speak the word need more lessons in homiletics. cool

How can evil spirit operate in a Holy Spirit filled church?
Are you listening to yourself, ma ?

Most people go to church tired just to prevent their members from tagging them a "backslider"(d deep sleepers)
Others go to church with more than the thoughts of going to serve the lord hence absentmindedly doze. All in all to sleep in church is like sleeping at work. No evil spirit whatsoever most of the time IMHO

God rested on the Sabbath day (Sunday) so why can’t humans do the same?
They are just obeying the call of nature.

Several reasons.
1. Evil spirit - They never want you to listen to the word of God.

2. Hang over from previous night party or work.

3. Boring pastors.

4. Irrelevant messages in church.

5. Too much comfort in church with ac's, good seats and so on.

6. Abstract minds... Your body is in church but your mind is elsewhere....

either it is boring, or one is tired or one is under attack.

Evil spirits come like birds and steal the word away. Powers are fighting the person, least you hear and be delivered.

On one of my visits to Nigeria, I was returning from the neighboring Benin republic to catch my flight back to North America, I had my face camera on and wanted to see the act of bribery along that road which I have experienced several times. I recorded this police man stylishly collecting bribes from the driver. One was even daring and asking for bribe in broad day light. This was before the Endsar's protest. I am sure these guys are the murderers who kill the youths and rob people at night. The state of the country has worsened from what I read and hear . I wanted them to be arrested at the time, but no one cared to put checks and balance on the Nigerian system anymore. Criminals have been promoted and rewarded
If you look at the faces of these police guys , they may have been deployed to other senior positions since it happened, who knows these may be your DPO
But I had it on video and let us keep shamming them untill their video of crime is brought to the attention of those who still have sanity of mind to prosecute them.
A crime committed by public servants does not have an expiry date for prosecution

When you keep listening to the same boring bvllshit over and over again, why won't you sleep.
Re: Why Do You Always Sleep In Church? by Harrynight(m): 10:27am On Sep 10, 2023
When the Speaker is boring, the talk not interesting, the speaker not arousing interest of the Audience with his talk
Re: Why Do You Always Sleep In Church? by DMerciful(m): 10:28am On Sep 10, 2023
Because you're going to church just in case heaven or afterlife is real...no real intention

Boredom, repeating same story every time.
Who doesn't know what the pastors want to say? Nothing new.

Some preachers don't really know how to preach, it's just like when you're in a class room that is interactive and the teacher is carrying everyone along, you won't find the class boring, how come it's only during the time of preaching people sleep but don't sleep when it's time for praise and worship.

Re: Why Do You Always Sleep In Church? by BigDawsNet: 10:30am On Sep 10, 2023
It's based on boring preaching..

As a pastor... I think it should be part of their Theological Bible Training.. they should learn to be funny when making reference or giving out stories when preaching...

On Sundays, na me Dey enter church last and na me go first leave even before Dey share the grace, I don move. Church ain’t my thing. No church no worries.

I used to blame others until I started working might shifts on Saturdays and was torn between Hoi to church at all or braving sleeping on church.

You never know until you are in other people's shoes.

So you somehow happen to know god enough to speak on spiritual issues, yet you keep making political and leadership choices that are inimical to the overall well-being of the Nigerian nation?

You mean there are Devils inside the church that make people sleep in the presence of the pastor?. Shouldn't the church be a sacred ground that will make Devil's afraid to go near it. Hmmmm something is fishy ?.

God's words are New everyday..lack of revelation makes most ministers repeat and sound repeatitive

Re: Why Do You Always Sleep In Church? by DrAda(f): 10:38am On Sep 10, 2023
It's not strange. Any activity that is not engaging or interactive is bound to induce sleep.

If you watch a boring movie, or listen to an uninspiring speaker talk on and on without any visuals or slide show to captivate the senses, you will sleep off.
