if you find yourself sleeping in church, then your spiritual life with God is not genuine....some may not be sleeping in church, but their minds is switched off.....some may argue , when the preacher is too slow in speaking. but pastor kumuyi of deeper life is slow in speaking but interesting to listen too.

I don't know why we link everything spiritual.

When the body is weary in one way or the other and need reset to regain strength. It triggers sleep at the slightest element of comfort (fan, ac, soft couch, cool breeze, nice music etc depending on individual.

This sleep thing can and does happen anywhere: parks, lecture halls, seminars, meetings, buses etc. I wonder why church own should be a concern

When our body wants to shutdown, it's oblivious of our location. It's out mind that is aware of location

Make una allow devil breath sometimes. He is not that cause of everything

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.

Forces are definitely behind it...like a smoke they blow...and that sleep seems so sweet..
Holy ghost fire destroy them...I hate when it happens to me and some usher walls up to ya and wakes you up,oh mehnnn!!

Top: if you feel sleepy in church,feel free to stand up and move to a corner without causing distractions..be on your feet till the sleep leaves.

When the talk is too much that is what will happen to people 10 to 30 minutes of sermon is okay but some pastors will talk for hours nonstop

I don't sleep because I am always writing ideals, and taking note from the pastor, or pressing my phone I know it is wrong to press phone in church but to avoid that spirit of sleeping.

When you sleep is like you make other people sleep, so it is good you find something doing in the church to avoid sleeping, and the worst part when you get home the sleep will disappear.. that one nor be juju.. ?

Constant repetitive verses makes anyone tired.The church must begin keeping some Sundays for physical activities.People should be told that workouts is the goal to soul cleansing, vitality and longevity.Running activities and competitions should be on the schedule.Life expectancy in Nigeria is at 55 years and obesity is on the rise.Even lean Nigerians are kind of skinny fat with protruded stomachs.

When the Church programme is too long. The Church should try and split their programs and make it two to three hours per service.

Op, I think say na only me.
Omo, that is one of the reasons I do not go to church. See my case is extreme. It is as if inside church is sleeping tablet. I sleep so hard I will drool, almost fall from the chair sef. Ie when preaching starts. Lol.
If I have to go eg for an occasion involving entering church, my kids assign who to seat next to me to pinch me once I start snoring. Lol.
Another place this happens too is the cinema. If they force me to take them. Omo one will seat next to me oh, if not na snore go disturb other cinema goers. grin

U sleep bcox ur heart is hardden or the preacher is very boring.

If you attend a fellowship I attend, u will not sleep at all

Why do you sleep in church? For me, this question hardly makes any specific sense. Some religious folks would like to argue it's the Devil that makes you asleep during sermon or church service. This is a big lie.

The reason people sleep during church service is not different from the reasons people sleep elsewhere.

They sleep during church service because they are sick, tired, the sermon is long (or [actually boring] depending on the calibre of the speaker) and they have been seated for a long time, the fan or air-conditioner makes it conducive to sleep. They can also sleep if they are not interested in the service, or actively involved in the programmes.

People sleep in their shops, does that mean they are not serious with their business? People fall asleep while watching movies, people sleep during conferences, people fall asleep during class, while reading for a promotional exam; so why make sleeping during a church service a bigger deal than it really is?

We have people who are alert and awake in so many things but the moment the word is being preached or they go to church they sleep off immediately. What do you have to say about it? Don't be used of the devil.

Read, there are thousands of complain. when you read a story book, you can spend 2hrs reading without sleeping. but just open the Bible, read 7 verses, you'll start feeling sleepy. I think you are those crews who will just come online and bully people who believe in God and spiritual life. calling us names.

I stop arguing with such people long time ago. so whatever you say. don't expect any reply from me

Its not just the congregants who's spiritual life with God is weak/not genuine, including that of the church. The church need to check what it is preaching that isn't having impact on the peoples live.
People also need to change their mindset.
We know church is your fathers house, however why would you leave your house in the early hours of the morning just to come and sleep during service.
Most people don't have any expectations or a desire for an encounter before going to church.

Can you sleep when someone like AJS is preaching?

Hmmm ..... maybe the evil spirit is in the one delivering the sermon? ... and the one sleeping is God's way of closing his ears from the deceitful words of the wolf in sheep's clothing?

God works in mysterious ways.

Either when d sermon is boring or when the fan is blowing cold. I dey doze off wella. most people sleep off when d sermon is going on. Atimes sermon is not needed every Sunday. Just let's pray, pay offering and tithes,sing and dance unto the Lord,then d grace and we depart. Its not every Sunday pastors preach the usual Christ is coming or repent from sins. We've been hearing such from donkey years.

With the bolded, it's very obvious you don't know God.
