If you are a young person that really wants to grow in life, you need to be careful about the type of church you attend, and the kind of messages you listen to.
Your twenties and thirties are formative years. The church you plant yourself in during this season will shape your faith, your thinking, and your future.
Here are five types of churches every young person should run from.
1. The Church That Calls Every Problem a Spiritual Attack
In this church, nothing is ever just normal. You failed an exam? It's the spirit of failure. You can't find a job? Demons in your village are fighting you. You are sick? It's a generational curse. Your relationship ended? Someone is doing juju against you. Instead of analyzing what you are doing wrong and adjusting, you are fighting an enemy in the spirit realm while the real problem sits in your habits, your choices, your preparation.
You start believing God has abandoned you to attackers. Every problem becomes proof that you are under siege. You live in constant fear, seeing demons in every disappointment.
Yes, spiritual warfare is real, it is so real but so is personal responsibility. Wisdom knows when to pray and when to study. When to fast and when to see a doctor. A church that never teaches you the difference is setting you up for a life of passivity and paranoia.
2. The Church That Says You Can 'Only' Be Blessed 'Only' Through Sowing Seeds
Need a job? Sow a seed. Need a child? Sow a seed. Need academic excellence? Sow a seed. Need financial breakthrough? Sow a seed.
Every problem has one solution: give money.
This is not faith. This is a ponzi scheme with Bible verses attached.
GOD does not run a transaction business. Sowing should come from a heart that wants to expand God's kingdom not from a desperate person trying to bribe heaven into answering a prayer.
If you are a young person in this church, you will be convinced to pour your small salary into seeds for breakthrough instead of investing in your skills, your education, or your savings. You will give money you don't have, believing that your next gift is the one that finally unlocks your miracle.
God gives seed to the sower. He is the source not your return on investment. A relationship with GOD is not a business deal. Any church that treats it like one is using you and will keep you small.
3. Any Church That Makes You Feel Rich People Are Bad People
Some churches preach in a way that makes you believe every wealthy person is either an occultist, a criminal, or someone who sold their soul to the devil. Money becomes automatically associated with evil. If you have money, you must have done something wrong. If you are poor, you are automatically righteous.
This teaching sounds spiritual. It sounds like it is defending GOD and standing for holiness. But it is actually dangerous, especially for a young person who is trying to build a future.
Why This Is Dangerous 'You cannot become what you despise'.
If deep down you believe that rich people are wicked, you will unconsciously sabotage yourself every time you start making progress. You will feel guilty for wanting more. You will be afraid that success will turn you into the kind of person you have been taught to hate. So you stay small because you have been programmed to fear wealth.
You cannot pray for what you condemn.
You cannot kneel down and ask GOD for financial breakthrough while in your heart you believe that those who have money are criminals. That is a divided heart. GOD is not confused. You are asking for something you have already judged as evil. That prayer will not work because your own belief system is fighting against it.
Many wealthy people got there through:
· Discipline and delayed gratification · Years of learning and skill development · Smart investments and financial literacy · Solving problems that people are willing to pay for · Building businesses that employ others · Consistent hard work over many years
4. Churches That Make You Always Pray for a Destiny Helper
Some churches teach that your success in life depends on one mysterious person a "destiny helper" who will suddenly appear and change your life. So every service, every prayer meeting, every vigil, you are crying out for a destiny helper to locate you.
"Father, connect me to my destiny helper." "Lord, send me a helper from above." "Any man or woman that will change my story, let them find me this month."
Why this is dangerous is that it replaces personal responsibility with passive waiting.
Instead of learning a skill, you are waiting for a helper. Instead of applying for jobs, you are waiting for a helper. Instead of saving and investing, you are waiting for a helper. Instead of building your network and adding value to people, you are waiting for a helper.
You become spiritually lazy but emotionally convinced that you are doing the right thing. You are not lazy you are praying. But prayer without works is dead (James 2:26).
While you are praying for miracle alert, miracle money, miracle job, miracle husband, miracle wife, miracle visa, there are people your age learning:
· How to budget and save · How to invest · How to build a business · How to negotiate a salary · How to develop marketable skills · How to network effectively · How to manage their time and resources
5. The Church That Demands Unquestioning Obedience to Leadership
In this church, the pastor is GOD'S only mouthpiece for your life. You are told not to question. Not to think too hard. Not to leave because leaving is rebellion against GOD HIMSELF. They control who you date, what career you pursue, where you live, what you wear. Your personal convictions are dismissed if they don't align with the pastor's.
The pastor becomes a mediator between you and God. You can't hear God for yourself anymore you need to go through him.
As a young person, this stunts your growth. You never learn to hear GOD'S voice for yourself. You never develop discernment. You become dependent on a human being instead of the Holy Spirit. Any church that punishes questions is afraid of what you will find. Any leader who can't be questioned shouldn't be followed.

Thank You Jesus GODSPOWERPROJECT This article is wrong on all levels. Don't fall for demonically inspired motivational speakers. What is wrong in asking God for a helper? What's wrong with praying against enemies when the bible asks us to be wary of enemies? It's not enough for someone to say don't attend XYZ church if they can't tell you the kind of church that is okay to attend |

femi4: Since Tanzania have already qualified automatically as co-hosts, and only one team will qualify alongside them from Group L,
Does that mean Tanzania’s results won’t count?
No! Tanzania’s results still count fully towards the Group L standings.
Although Tanzania have already qualified automatically as co-hosts, they will still play all six (6) of their qualification fixtures in Group L.
Their matches against Nigeria, Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau remain fully active, and the points gained or dropped in those matches will count in the group table.
If Tanzania finish 1st or 2nd, their position will simply be bypassed for qualification, and the next best-placed non-host team will take the available qualification spot.
If Tanzania finish 1st: The team that finishes 2nd will qualify alongside Tanzania.
If Tanzania finish 2nd: The team that finishes 1st will qualify alongside Tanzania.
If Tanzania finish outside the top two: The team that finishes 1st will qualify alongside Tanzania.
So, Tanzania’s matches are not meaningless. Every point won or dropped against Tanzania can directly affect the qualification race between Nigeria, Guinea-Bissau and Madagascar.
That’s why the Eagles cannot afford to drop any point. I said this yesterday. If Nigeria is not careful we won't qualify because only one team will qualify and Guinea Bissau is already ahead of Nigeria. So the boys need to make the effort to win the next match or else they are already quater to going out. Being in that group is a disadvantage to Nigeria |

telad: Did you call them immediately after reaching home. Rushing the calls and texts might come to them as too needy. Give them some days as they might be living in the same place and trying to text your game if you are real or will crumble.
Be calm, give it some time and try again. If it's the same outcome. Move on with your integrity intact. You took the words out of my mouth. When you collect a girl's number on the street and she gives it to you there and then you should know that she is playing games with your emotion. It's either she gave you a wrong number or a number she doesn't use that much. She just wants to use you to boost her ego. The key is not rushing to call immediately cause doing that shows you as being desperate. Play a.matching game with her by calling her after a week or two. Pretend as though you were too busy to think of her |
