The reason is as a result of departure from the truth... Apostasy. Paul says that a time will come where many will depart from the faith, heeding to false teachers and prophets.

So I couldn't get to my normal redeem parish because of time and decided to use one closer to me. My good people of Nairaland wether na church I dey now or na cinema I don't even know. It's not because they're using an event hall. I came to see a movie showing, a movie where them dey even kiss and knack and this people no even fit censor or forward am. The big projector screen just dey alter and everyone is watching both young and old. What the hell is this worl turning into? Even if it's a Christian movie which I doubt cos I have seen some popular American actresses, what is the essence of all this. I swear I'm still sitting confused as I'm typing and sitting down here. God abeg o 🙏

We have more churches today because of the sharing formula of tithe and offering of a church. The owner of a church takes everything the gullible congregants bring to church, so people who want to partake in the free money quickly open their own church.
I'd say this is a fairly accurate summary of the situation. Not all churches are business schemes run by a venal entrepreneur. But 96.34% of them are.

Today , I was just wondering how did we end up with so many churches.

I happen to be in Maiduguri currently but I can't seem to find my church and the churches that are somehow close I haven't heard of them before. I don't know their doctrines nor the kind of their beliefs.

I am just stock. Thinking of just staying at home today and watch service online.

I wish we christians have just one church so that irrespective of where you are you can be comfortable going to any church.
It's hunger..

In my small street where I live in Lagos we have 7 churches and all of them screaming praises over their microphones simultaneously. It’s one huge cacophony.
We have 2 churches facing each other and another 2 facing each other.

It started from the early days when some followed Peter and others followed Paul.

I have 3 churches and I'm not even a Christian. The free money is magical, you'll be surprised how rich you'll become in a short time. Having so much gullible people in the society is a actually a blessing in disguise. Don't even bother making them understand what's going on. Their brain doesn't have the capacity to understand. You go talk tire.

Do not do yahoo yahoo, it is against the law. Instead open a church. This business is the only government approved scam. Don't be discouraged by the number of churches already in existence. There are more than enough gullible people for the free money to go round.

Go to any Bible college and employ a fresh smart bible college graduate, make sure the graduate is single and good looking, and also make sure he speak fluent English with good accent.

Mat 7:15  Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 
Mat 7:16  Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 
Mat 7:17  Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 
Mat 7:18  A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 
Mat 7:19  Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 
Mat 7:20  Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 
Mat 7:21  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 
Mat 7:22  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 
Mat 7:23  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Why get three churches, when you can get just one with three branches? grin

Branding, advertisement, interoperability, and public recognition is easier under one name. And what's left is photocopying it into another branch.

Be business smart man. cool

The event center where I just left the church now has a lot of churches in the same compound ooo... I counted 4. When I entered and asked the gateman that I'm looking for RCCG he had this sly smile on his face as he answered me because I was visibly confused on entering. So many banners and directions and redirections. He pointed the way and mentioned to me "bros church wey dey here alone too plenty oo but na redeem be that where those cars park.
