What Shocked Man Back To Christianity After He Left Christianity For Imenala


Many years ago,I Left Christianity for Omenala—What I Was Asked to Pay Shocked Me Back to My Christian Faith

Awuzie Frankline- Confeses✍️

There was a time in my life when things were really hard. I was broke, confused, and tired of praying without seeing any result. It honestly felt like Jesus wasn’t even hearing me anymore.

Out of frustration, I started thinking… maybe I should try something else. That was how I decided to try Omenala. The very first day I went to see a native doctor, he told me my forefathers had not been “fed” for years. Then he gave me a list of things to bring—goat and other items that would cost almost ₦200,000. I was shocked.

Here I was, struggling to even eat the next day, and someone was telling me to go and find that kind of money just to perform rituals. That was when reality hit me. How can I be asked to feed the dead when I, the living, have not eaten?

I quietly left there and started thinking deeply. Then I remembered something—when you go to church, nobody stops you from praying because you don’t have money. You can worship, cry, and talk to God freely. Even when offerings are mentioned, it’s not by force. You give only if you can, and from your heart.

That experience opened my eyes. Some people complain that pastors are collecting money, but they don’t talk about how much they spend on traditional practices. The difference is, in church, you are not forced. But in that place, everything had a price—especially your desperation. That moment made me realize that what I was looking for wasn’t there. It brought me back to my faith with a better understanding. And Jesus solved my problems

Re: What Shocked Man Back To Christianity After He Left Christianity For Omenala by jesusjnr2020(op):
It's funny that he hadn't even been told the worst part before he took to his heels running back to Christianity, because it gets much worse than that, but they won't tell anyone that initially so as not to scare them away until they're deeply entangled and could hardly leave.

The truth is that what anyone who chooses to serve the devil loses in the process is much more than that lost by anyone who decides to serve God.

Whatever the devil would give to you, he would ensure that he takes exceedingly more from you, because he's a thief who doesn't come to anyone except to steal, kill and destroy.

On the contrary, God only wants to help, heal, save, deliver, restore and add value to a man's life, and whatever God takes from any man, He would give them much more and abundance in return, if not in this life, in the life to come.

So let nobody deceive you.

You're much better off serving God with your life even in penury than the devil in riches.

Don't wait until they ask you to sacrifice one of your loved ones, before you realize yourself and come running back to God.

God bless.

As much as I do not belief this rubbish cock and bullying story..I will however mention one thing- every religion on earth every single one of them is born out of man's deep desire to glorify himself...religion is about making humans the main character while pretending to be weak and vulnerable...think about it

Why did God make man in him image- because man had to stroke his ego

God made super natural beings(angels) and basically turned them to bouncers and messengers for man


God came down from heaven to die because mankind is so so important ...mtcheeew


Every religious book is just we humans glorifying ourselves and how very important we are whilst pretending to be nothing.

Ask yourself what is God's current job- protecting and blessing humans😂😂😂🤣

1. You mean this, of all religions, and over 1 million deities worshipped across all religions, right? 🥱🥱

2. Which God made which man in his own image? Try to be at least specific, so you don't confuse yourself about these things. 😫😫😫

3. You have never really read any religious book out there, have you? As someone who has read a few, I can't say the same of even the few that I have. 🥱🥱

This is a very stewpid write up by a silly man who never really got anywhere outside of the box that was the religion he was raised in. How can anyone attempting a new religion approach it in this manner? No be brain damage be this one? 🥱🥱

Religion does not interest me that much I think you can deduce that from my respond to the original post...Hence I do not care to read many religious books, I only speak based on the ones I have read or better still the religions I have been able to study(based on what and people around me) I have not been to Asia so I know nothing about their Buddha or shiva or whatever...But the two most popular religions (around me) are based on similar ideologies...There is a supreme being who is the maker of everything we can see and cannot see

He made man and gave man dominion over all things

That ideology is what I think is just humans feeling self important.

My stand is any religion that tells you or makes you somehow believe that God created the whole earth and after that he has nothing else to do other than to listen to humans whining(prayers),praises and punish those who refuse to do this or that is just rubbish..because clearly what they are telling you is that humans are so important that God spends every minute of his life doting on us..which makes no sense.

1. You don't need to visit Asia to learn all you can of those religions or any religion. You could simply pick up at least one of the thousands of books out there on the subject to start yourself on any religion you wanted to learn of. The main thing is to at least start. Don't go around pretending! 🥱🥱

2. This particular story here is from the Torah's idea of creation. How did you come about concluding that all religions have this same narrative as far as the creation story is concerned? undecided

3. You said any religion, meaning you think your religion is different from all of the others? undecided

And God so loved the world,that he left His only known enemy (the devil) to keep tormenting and dragging his people into sins and temptations ? Yet he plans a future demise for this enemy in hell fire with the children
he stole from God.....somebody shout mumu!!! Wake up!

Christianity is a lifestyle and not a religion. If everybody can live the Christian lifestyle be you Muslim, traditional worshippers etc then we can live in peace which is the only gospel we need . Love your neighbor as you love yourself for God is Love

When you don't know anything about a people's culture, it's best you shut up or make more inquiries.

Native doctors are not custodians of omenaala as depicted by Nollywood movies.

Omenaala is the original version of commandments given and binding on the old people of the planet (igbos/ ndi mgbo); it forms the basis for the practice of the purest form of democracy as reflected in the activities of various groups in a village : umuada, ndi nze, umuokorobia, umunna/umunnadi.

Stop bringing in the "not so long" form of yahoo yahoo( some native doctors) in your discuss

Many that started preaching on NL from wayback have quited or fallen by way side. Me too I stupidly fell to Tribalism and myopic Politics.
I must commend that You are doing a Great Glorious Job for ALMIGHTY I AM THAT I AM Our CREATOR and JESUS HIS Son our Savior. May HE who is the One and Only SOURCE of Life Grant you Long Life in SoundHealth to fully Fulfill the Original Glorious Purpose for which HE Created you in JESUS' Supremely Powerful Name!

Can that your Jesus kindly solve Nigeria's problems? There are millions of christians praying for years and still wallowing in penury with unanswered prayers.... meanwhile many of them are also working hard in their own way...

Religion, whether Christianity or omenala, have become businesses.

Life is all about natural selection.....the hardest working people are not the richest, the hardest praying and working people are also not the ones with the least problems.

Your best bet is to work hard which may or may not pay off whether you pray or not.

They'll say "grace" or "working smart". You only hear that when you make it regardless of how you make it, you worked smart and you have grace....what a load of balderdash!

Let's remember that this Christianity being talked about is the support base of the largest child trafficking ring in human history headed by Donald Trump. A rapist and a pdfile. Christianity looked at that man, someone so much unlike Christ and put him in the whitehouse.
Christians have no business telling anyone about morality or preaching to anyone about Christ when they have abandoned Christ in vain glorious worship of Donald Trump.

Honestly, it's troubling the number of young Igbos raised in Catholic homes who are increasingly turning to traditional religion.

If you are one of them, it's okay to make that choice. However, don't ever use it to harm the next person because no unforgiven evil deed goes unpunished.
