if someone like baba ADEBOYE doesn't have any chieftaincy title, then I don't think I need one as a Christian. because baba is my role model.


It is good to have a general like baba to be your role model. Just drawing your attention to the One who is baba's role model.

Nothing wrong absolutely as long as there is no worship of idol in the process. A well-deserved chieftaincy title always makes sense.

If idol worshipping isn't involved, it's okay.

Worshipping Jesus is idol worshipping

You can’t collect a a chieftaincy title, but if you invited to England to accept a Knighthood from the king you will go.

We’ve been programmed to despise and reject our own traditions while we adore, worship and embrace another man’s culture as being superior.


Who did this to us?!?
they're fools. They don't even know there are priests who are Chiefs

Why should you follow Paul? If this was coming from a Catholic now, you guys will begin to quote scripture after scripture to the effect that it is only Christ we will look up to and nobody else.
Please edit 1 cor.11:1 so I'll have no need to quote it. In Roman catholic church because I'm a member of the catholic church, the culture is literally that of worshiping beings the scripture never recommended.

It will be good to understand who a Christian is and the definition of a Christian, A CHRISTIAN IS ONE THAT FOLLOW THE TEACHINGS AND LIFESTYLE AND FOOTSTEPS OF JESUS CHRIST, if whatever it is is what Jesus will not do, a Christian will not do it, it is written that when people wanted to make Jesus king by force, he declined them, I am saying this about some saying if it does not involve rituals, or whatever, even the titlee some who claim to be Christians are giving and selling in their churches are not normal.
If we want to serve God, we serve him in the way he want us to serve Him and not in the way we want to serve Him

Is it wrong for a Christian to obtain a chieftaincy title?
If yes why?
Yes, if it doesn't require any ritual

If you can obtain academic titles, nothing stop you from obtaining chieftancy title if it's diabolically free.

Biblically, it's acceptable

Exodus 3:16
Go and get together the chiefs of the children of Israel, and say to them, The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has been seen by me, and has said, Truly I have taken up your cause, because of what is done to you in Egypt;

Here we go again.
Even those that brought the religion to us take traditional titles, with sacrifices made before their coronation.
They have dukes and duchess. They have Earls. Even their Lords and Ladies are their traditional titles. Even if most of us were not yet born when Elizabeth III was crowned, we all witnessed the sacrifices that went down in the course of her burial and crowning of the new king. After all, some parts, if not all, was transmitted live. And they called the king the head of the church.
But now we are more religious than those that brought the religion to us.

Talk true, you meant to say he is your god? Role model is just your coded way of saying god since you know that if you say so, you don finish everything.

But he said what he said .... Why is hard for you to just accept others the way they are ... Being a role model to someone dose that make them God... If Rolando or Messi are my role model when it comes to persistency football achievement and wealthy dose that make them God or "my God" a model is like a standard to either attain a role model is someone you look up to in modeling your own life .. also wole Soyinka china Achebe are literally role model to any writing audience it's just endless pls

That's absolutely not. If you're bestowed with a chieftancy title take it. You see our culture has gone forever. Our forefathers believe so much on idols. And the same time they know God more than we current generation. They even live longer than us. But look at our present generation, what have we been able to achieve. Brother do not reject a chieftancy title given to you. That won't make you not to worship you Alfa and Omega.

It depends on the type of Christian you asked.
Catholics, Methodists, Anglicans, Presbyterians, etc will be okay with it.
But Deeper Life, Lord`s Chosen, JW.org, etc frowns at that.

Catholic church does NOT permit members taking Chieftaincy title, plz. sad

However, if a Member secretly goes to take a Chieftaincy title,
The church won't do him Anything. 🤨😒

But if the Fellow takes a 2nd wife, He will be Stopped from taking Holy communion. undecided

Which means christian cant be king? Yet we want idols to disappear from our society.

Any man of God that says christian cant be king or going into politics, is an enemy of Christianity.

And what will be your definition of a Christian?
If you know the TRUE meaning of a Christian you will know that there are certain professions and works and jobs even legal that are not for a CHRISTIAN.
A Christian will not accept any job that contradicts the teachings of Jesus Christ, for example, the law says don't kill, and Jesus says under no condition are you allowed to kill anyone, Jesus told us to forgive any offence committed against us no matter how many times, now the law allowed soldiers to kill people, now does the law of man nullify the law of God? Supercede the law of God? Don't you see a Christian is not supposed to be a soldier? Or will the soldier tell Jesus Christ on judgement day that his govt ordered him to murder?
Anu job or activity that puts you in the position of taking decisions that contradicts the will and commandments of Jesus is not for a Christian.
BTW, A CHRISTIAN IS ONE THAT FOLLOW THE TEACHINGS AND LIFESTYLE AND FOOTSTEPS OF JESUS CHRIST. it's not anymore that claims to be a Christian

it's not community slots bro. The fortunes are beyond your comprehension, although it also depends on the type of monarch giving you the title. Some monarchs possess the powers of great Spirits of Kings while others are just mere political appointees without royal blood. So it depends on who's giving you the title
