i like your last sentence.. please grant me the copyright

It is just normal society gathering that put more money into churches pocket.Nothing like new year resolution,it is another gimmick to put fear into you...New year, is a change of a whole 365 days calendar or a break off from olden day/season...and for easy calculation.for all the readers of this comment,you are a year older and a step closer to the grave..you all are gradually departing this world.HAPPY NEW YEAR.

This nails it very well in my own opinion. Live your daily not yearly. It is well with us all

Occultic propensities

most countries celebrate new year with fire works,every where looking so beautiful but my country people would go to church. i hope we get to see fireworks on lekki-ikoyi bridge

It's not for Christians My dear. It's for church people who are always searching for something to celebrate. And also for their pastors looking for formats to loot their congregants. Nowhere in the Holy book will you find the nonsense.

2019 is a scam..... Law of arithmetic says 19 must come before 20, hence in Nigeria �� we are in 1920 backward

See as you just apply science for this simple something

NPComplete:
Modern Christianity is nothing but foolishness and fuckery. They have been crossing over every year in Nigeria yet Nigeria seems to keep getting worse. They will never use their heads but keep insanely repeating the same things over and over again and expecting different results.

These same people will still spend their tithes, offerings and seeds all year to still fight a devourer or another. It seems the Nigerian Christian is condemned to an endless Sisyphean task of battle against invincible enemies. Yet at the slightest opportunity, they will run to Dubai, China and other godless countries that seem to spend their new years eve partying or doing nothing. If u want to know the definition of foolishness just look for the average Nigerian Christian. Devout, religious, superstitious and senseless.

Christianity, especially the pentecostal kind, is foolishness and fuckery. Foolishness and fuckery, I tell ya.


Foolishness.





And fuckery.

Lol. One of the brain dead morons I was talking about. E pain the mugu die.
Who decided the major reason? You? Most churches pray for blessing and kill enemies into the new year. But u won't know that, would u? Pray for brains this crossover night so u can think well before typing. If ur prayers cannot kill your enemies at least it should be able to get u sense. LMAO

Mizwisdom:


U think say u be small picin, bae or wife?


Cross over is significant because if you understand that day & night are the creation of a Supernatural being, you should also understand that when u start a new year, you'll need to seize it through prayers to enable it favor u.

Oya tell me my age since you know me so well

Gullah:
It's that time of the year again, that time of the year when almost everyone begins to reflect on their actions and achievements or failures in the year that is about to end. Many people are already compiling their new year resolutions and plans already no doubt. It's also the time for one of the most interesting and unusual church service that has become an annual end of year ritual among churches all over the world; THE CROSSOVER SERVICE.

The crossover service is perhaps the most attended church service across the country. On the 31st of December every year, millions of people gather in churches so that they can cross over into the new year in the presence of God, They wait expectantly for the clock to strike 12 midnight, for the Man or Woman of God to declare the word of God for the new year and they scream and jump in excitement when the minister says in a solemn voice, "Thus says the Lord, the year 2019 shall be the year of.......". Then the prayers begin, members of the congregation tap into the declaration and present their own personal plans for the new year before God, The minister then proclaims God's blessings for the new year on the people. A usually very elaborate and euphoric service for Christians like me I must say but it's usually just few hours after the service that the questions start ringing in my head,

What exactly is the significance of this service? Are there really special blessings for those who attend that those who don't attend won't receive? How about the curious observation that many people who didn't even bother about God or attend a church service throughout the year suddenly pop into the church on that night to claim God's promises and blessings for the new year? Does God's presence really go into the new year with people as they attend and leave those services? How about the Olive oils, bottled water, handkerchiefs or aprons, stickers with the word for the year printed on them and other " holy items" attendees usually come home with? Are they really effective in helping those who possess them in any way in the new year?

I have my thoughts about all that but since I am not hundred percent sure I am right about it, I'd rather prefer to put it out here and know your opinions on this topic. Does this service have any special or unique importance for Christians?

just a ritual

I don't just know why people panic and cry foul over the decisions and choices of Christians.

That day, If you like
Go to club
Go to church
Sleep at home.
That's your choice
But as for me and my household, we're going to church.

Fullstop

Well, it has depending on the approach.
If you approach God for the new year because you feel there are some personal aggrandizement to achieve and so you need God to watch your back in spite of your ulterior motives, then, Cross over is just another night vigil.
But look at it from this way, you guys assembly together as a denomination to thank God for the previous year and also find out his thought concerning the new year, commit your goals(kind ones) to him, but most especially inquire to know what you ought TO DO in order to bring His thought and your goals to fruition.
Then Cross over service is then a fellowship and a communion with the divine.

Realistically, there is really no need for a crossover because we are not really crossing over. We are just continuing with life.

Man created the divisions. There is nothing new about January 1. We created the idea and the euphoria.

I have Been going to church since I don know how to pronounce Jesus, I haven't seen any difference in the years....but this year's cross over...now I have come to realizes its just another day, I will be spending dec31st night on my bed ooo

People believe starting the new year in Church is a good thing.
To them it signifies that they recognize that God should come first in peoples' lives. 
The service is usually to thank God for being alive and experiencing the blessing of the out going year and the welcoming of the new one.
Usually, during the New year Service in many churches, the new year is dedicated to God and people seek Divine intervention for a smooth and problem free year.

Happy New year in advance to Every good Nigerians, with love from [b][/b]

Good Nigerians? Hmm... you are leaving out the bad ones in the church? Let them not hear you oh!
