Only wrong thing here is jumping from Church to Church. Let her remain in one & all will be fine.

No, from dik to dik. Church is just a camouflage. Sorry to tell you this.

Religion has turned my mother into a shadow of herself.
Ever since our teenage years my mother was not the churchy type. We are raised Catholics
Back then she was active and bubbling.

all of a sudden my mother left Catholic faith and started messing around with different churches.
This has cause countless rift between us, my dad and elder sister have done everything possible but my mum is too brainwashed by these Pentecostal pastors.

How can someone be attending Christ embassy and winners chapel?? I Heard she wants to join mountain of fire but changed her mind.
Everytime church, church, church
Yet she never gain anything from it
I have been sending her money for her for upkeep since November last year only to come back home February this year and discovered she donates everything to different churches


I feel she might have a mental disorder and I don't know how to save her.
She literally spends all the money in church donation tithe and all those craps. And those pastors always calling her to come for one program or the other. I don't know what to do
Is your dad present? These preachers words are like opium.They’ll focus on certain parts of scriptures & be telling your mom how God will bless her when she gives her money to the church .They’ll give her false prophecies so that she can continue enriching the pastors with her money & gifts. I am a Pentecostal but I don’t subscribe to that nonsense & I don’t like drama churches where people fall. It’s very tough to change her mindset after that brainwash. What you need is someone she respects as a Spiritual authority to try study the Bible with her & show her that God doesn’t need her money before He can bless her. It’s difficult but she probably wasn’t reading the Bible much for herself & that’s why the new preachers were able to win her over. These are very dangerous times for those who do not study the word of God.

Don't be surprised that all these church church and prayers is for you and your siblings .
I guess you need to spend time with her and approach the issue with love . 99% of her prayer point is about you and your siblings.

The more you get angry the more she's going to 'fire prayers ' so the 'devil' wont steal you from her .
..Emm.. she nor dey follow pastor Jerry? That is the wahala in my house .

She is just a typical african mum
Brainwashed!
You need the special intervention of God to heal her
She's gone..... forget about it
Iya e ti lor

Mental disorder doesn't mean mad

Sounds like some kind of neurosis marked by compulsive behaviour

Sometimes this may manifest in gambling, excessive cleaning or anxiety.

Life in Nigeria can be tough and church is what helps many maintain the appearance of sanity

Wow.. what an advice indeed. My mother attend church, prays, gave 100 blocks, 10 bags of cements from my house project to church without telling me and when she told me, she said you going to see their prayer in your life. I bought a tractor trailer in one month of hustle. While some of our mother goes too far, NEVER denial your parents what they actually we earn and I believe their prayers open doors.

mine use to do same, until i stop sending her money even if she says shes hungry, her brother also stopped, until she realised the so called men of God were only coming to pray for her cause of money.

So stop sending her money simple. Its like ant n sugar
Re: Religion Has Finished My Mother.. by kingthreat(m): 2:24am On Jul 13, 2023
Nothing bad in being religious but there's something unusual in being overly religious. It affects one's realistic thinking. I see nothing wrong in your mum praying all the time. However, I see something very wrong in using the donations you give for her upkeep to donate to the church. I myself have folks with this problem.
Fact is that you can't change your mum. But you all should be using style to say it is getting too much.

And you believed this rubbish?
What about those without mum?
They are cursed, right?

The day we see organised religion and its effect on our society, our iq will jump to middle and all our locked potentials will be released cos religion has blindfolded us.

Men are part of organised religion to make money. Remove money and men will stop going to church

Your mother's prayer didn't do that. Rather you were diligent and worked hard.
Give yourself the kudos. You did well.

If you're an African and you're a Christian, you're NOTHING but a European/Jewish slave.

At least the Bible sees every human as equal.
My grouse is with Muslims which the Koran explicitly called blacks abeed. And blacks still form majority of those who follow such religion.

The churches he mentioned that she attends aren't the "praying" type of churches.

By the way, did John Wesleys mother attend winners or Christ embassy?

Here's the problem. The God you claim your mother prayed to said clearly He does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous. Basically, all the prayers, praises, offerings, vows, tithes, good works, petitions, etc., offered to Him by the unrighteous are made filthy by their sins and are hence an abomination that He does not accept. None of her prayers reached God's ears and none of her donations /offerings to the church reach God. So, it couldn't have been your mother's prayers to God that made anything happen. Your mother has been filling the pocket of her pastors and mogs for nothing. God has nothing to gain or do with all those churchian rituals. undecided

Now, here's the kicker! You would have gotten that trailer of yours after your hustle even if your mother had never said even a single prayer on your behalf. This is because God said several times in scripture that He pours out His mercy/favor daily on even the wicked and the ungrateful. undecided

You claim you are only credits away from a PhD, so surely you understand how to objectively examine the world around you, right ? I suggest you begin doing that going forward so you see that the same miracles and "blessings" churchians claim happen to all men alike, 3ven to the wicked and the ungrateful. Again, Scripture has it that God pours out the very same mercies/favor daily on all unrighteous including church goers, wicked and ungrateful. The wicked and ungrateful do not pray or regard God in anyway but they enjoy the same exact benefits that church goers do, to show you that their prayers do not change anything or avail much. undecided

You stopped sending your mom money because she does donation to church but you keep a girlfriend that buys brazilian hair on a regular?

You will rather she starve, than send her money she will use some as tithe?

And somehow you want to grow old!

It doesn't matter what she does with the money, she's your mother, she's not asking for your salary, you send her something every months, no monitoring, the gift have be given, however she want to serve her God is her business, she's not forcing you to go to her church to make donation, just mind your business and let her be.

Her prayers did nothing. If you are educated as you claim, you should study beyond your field.
Get busy and research on mind control under social psychology and how the colonial masters used that for their conquest through religion. Its all over the Internet.

And it's worst than chemical nd biological weapon put together. The day you and your likes stop reasoning like this, Africa will see small light. Sub saharan Africa isn't the only colonised place but they are the dumbest. The rest has dropped the poison religion and moved on to greatness and here we are in 21 century believing that a mums prayer is what is keeping us alive or making us prosper.
Exactly how the West want us to think and act.
Surprising those that gave you the religion has decided to ditch it after it has fulfilled the purpose why it was created. Some are now calling God non gender. Yes, you have no right to say which name god will bear cos they gave you god so they can decide to call god a she or he.
Very dumb

Someone has touched her with some charms perhaps they thought she's from a rich family so they can continue extorting money from her.
Many are desperate these days and you just have to be careful the way you receive tracts from people all in the name of preaching because most of those people want crowd in their business centers the call "Church" so they are ready to do anything just to achieve that.
Have you ever seen someone drowning before?
Well it takes a skilled swimmer to rescue such a person otherwise whoever try to save her may end up drowning with her.
I will suggest you study the Bible yourself to be a skilled preacher and teacher then through scriptural discussions you can help your mother, it's not possible speaking to her harshly or criticizing her because the more you do the more she sees you as Satan's agent that has been sent to block her from making heaven.

Wait...


Even if she is sowing seeds,, she cannot sow her feeding money.
You seff, check am naa...
She's giving the excess to the churches, because she had checked her pause well and have known the amount that she would be having immediate need of,, so she gave off all the excesses to the churches,, knowing (not believing Ooo,, she definitely knows) that more will always be coming..

You always give her excess,, and being that she doesn't have any saving culture in her, she already saw all other money that her beyond her immediate needs as “excess money”..
So, she decided to sow them inside the hands of God, so that it will be multiplying FOR YOU INSIDE YOUR OWN POCKET (NOT HER OWN POCKET OOO)..


So bro,, take up the job of sending very little quantities that would just be very Okay for her immediate needs.. You can send as many times as possible, depending on the necessity.
Stop sending money in bulk, and be expecting to see some prudence in spending.

If prudence is not there, then it's not there.
She cannot learn it now that she is already old.
