Do you think they are there for fun?

Sometimes I just wonder if you people think at all. You assume you're wiser than them ba?

Or like they are senseless? you're obviously an e-rat in one corner of a room with your 100mb typing rubbish.

Those you see there are desperate for God's intervention in their lives and they want God to happen to them at every cost.

You're not wiser then them. There is something they know that you obviously don't know. Your turn is coming.
You are right! they know something we don't know. Let me guess, what they know "shortcut"!

Why can't they organize church service in sections to avoid all these mess and disgrace they are bringing to the body of Christ (The Church). I don tire


You want some people to cash out from the collections?

Every Sunday, hundreds of buses head to Ota, Ogun State, especially from Lagos.Guy man no wan hear stories for tithe and offering. You wonder why no one talks about salvation again? It is now sowing seeds to get blessed.

Keep deceiving yourself, you hear?


God does not know their address.

When Jesus Christ told the woman at the well that time is gone when you must go to mountain to see God, I hope you will you believe he doesn't know what he was saying.

Gistmedia10:
Outrage has erupted after a video surfaced showing congregants sleeping outside the gate of a popular church in Lagos. The incident, which occurred in the early hours of Sunday, has led to widespread criticism of the church for its perceived insensitivity. shocked

The video, shared by a concerned Nigerian man who witnessed the scene, shows dozens of people, including women and children, sleeping on mats and makeshift beds outside the church premises. These congregants had arrived early in anticipation of the Sunday service.

Critics argue that the church, known for its large congregation and significant influence in the community, should take better care of its members. "If they can build massive structures and collect offerings, they can certainly arrange for proper accommodation for those who come early," one social media user commented.

Why should there be outrage and what's the criticism all about? Are y'all so uninformed?

During Katherine Kuhlman programs in America people used to go very early and sleep outside the venue even during winter waiting for the doors to be opened at a specific time. They do this because they want to get seats inside the building.

And this is not limited to religious gathering.

I remember reading somewhere that when Apple Inc releases new iPhone model in America, people who want to get it before others queue up and sometimes the queue is so long that it could be hours or days before it gets to your turn.

So most people erect tents in front of the place. And those who cannot wait pay people who will stand in line for them until it gets to their turn

In this case, the church is not to blame. Even in our places of work, we cant claim because you you live in Ikorodu and work in VI, Your employer must open office for you to enter by 4am because you joined a neighbour who leaves Ikorodu by 3am to avoid traffic.

The church has its programmes and it is voluntary to attend.

Someone even asked here if people still go to church in 2024!

So, na dem no wetin pursue them from their comfortable home go dey sleep for church domot before time.

Pastor sef still dey sleep by that time!

Whoever intentionally video and posted this on the social media is a compound fool and an enemy of Zion ministries. Anybody who's used to Zion ministry will know that there are lodges around the ministry and hotels even places to sleep there. But people must make their choices, why must Ebuka Obi suffer over what he don't know anything about? That the ministry starts 12pm and people decides to be there before 5am just to get front seat, so Ebuka obi should be nailed for it? When will people lean to fear God and maintain good relationship with one another? Hmmm.

Most of these Pentecostal churches are more of a nuisance to society and contribute more to the problems of the society.
If not for religious stupidity,why should this fate befall these unthinking fellows?
Catholics, remain stuck in your church, Anglicans, Methodists same too.
Never ever desert your church for any hopeless Pentecostal church.
God answers prayers in every church.

See how you contradict your fine post with the last statement; meaning even the Pentecostal church you just insult, God answers prayers too.

So, Unfortunately for you, even in the Pentecostal, God is there. More unfortunately, the churches you mention has many evil too underneath, just that you don't see it because you have decided not to see it.

Ask yourself first, was it the church that asked the People to sleep there?
Second question, was there any mention in the Bible that God is in one denomination and desserted another?

All the churches you mention were once considered nuisance to the Roman Catholic Church. If not for Luther, many immoral Roman Catholic practices will still have been going on. Even the the Orthodox churches have there issues and wahala.....

If the church asked the members to come sleep there, that's very bad and ungodly, but if not, let the members themselves hold themselves accountable.

Once upon a time, people lie down to kiss the feet of Pope Leo X in 1400s.

Most of the people here lamenting would not hesitate to seek unconventional solutions to their problems, If need arises. But here they are criticising people that are desperate for change. People that have lost hope in the government and society at large. People that rightly believed that Jesus is the answer to their problems. Abeg make una leave them alone.

If doing this was the solution, Nigeria would not be in a sorry state today

Don't go too far with Katherine Khulman or Apple.
Just last month, people queue for almost 2 to 3 hours under hot sun just to snap with the European Trophy still ongoing.

Imagine if people were not doing this. Full blown evil and wickedness is kept at bay in Nigeria by true believers who still believe in prayes, good deeds and God. And from a medical standpoint, do know the relief and hope people receive by praying and visiting these religious centers? And by the way, how psychiatric hospitals do we have in Nigeria? How many people can afford to visit and pay a psychiatrist for mental health?

Is that redeem church ?

The NAtional assembly should pass a law empowering the state to take 50% of church and mosque earnings. That money should be used to cater for the social welfare of the poor
As if government will not embezzle the 50%. The huge sums the government makes in taxes and other revenue sources, where is it? What social welfare have they undertaken that benefits the masses? Everything is a cesspit of corruption. Sorry, your suggestion is not the solution for now

Religious stupidity had always existed in Nigeria.
But Pentecostalism multiplied the insanity by more than a million folds to the point that otherwise rational beings act and talk like they are under some devilish spell.
