It's disheartening to see that the total opposite happens in Nigeria, yet it's the white man that brought Christianity to us. Now pastors and priests in Africa arrogate to themselves lordship over their congregation. They are man-gods worshipped by their followers. Really disheartening what Christianity has turned into in Africa, especially Nigeria. 15 Likes |

thesicilian:I with sight an example from a deeper life church across my street here, the church is a small auditorium and they are not making noise to the environment because there's no need for that, while I've seen another deeper life that has big congregation and use horn speaker outside, this also applies to Catholics church, so it depends. Dont mind the op this people think they can just use oyinbo way to insult us any how without knowing the reason. 1 Like |

thesicilian: I beg to differ on the loud speaker one. I think most people can relate on too loud loudspeakers in most Nigerian churches. You know when you use 50db mic for an auditorium with only a 20db requirement. 2 Likes |

I have similar experience. I went to RCCG in Virginia and the pastor was asking for tithe the first day. I be like WTF.. I stop going and went to local church only to be surprise I over dressed, they only ask if you care for offering envelop before giving it to you and No tithe of first offering scam like naija ish. No special seat for anybody including the pastor and people freely walk up to you and greet you.. since then, I had joined the church... 20 Likes |

Most of the churches in Nigeria are not being set up for the work of God, but as businesses for the so called 'men of God'. Whereas the main mission of churches is meant to be the winning of Souls, in Nigeria, like any other businesses, it is the winning of accounts. little wandered preferential treatments is prevalent even in the Nigerian churches especially the charismatic churches. If you follow them, you just confirmed your visa straight to hell. one has to be weary of their antics. It always give and give, for the promotion of their own well-being. once they are done with you, they drop you and move ahead. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Schwartz: I have the same experience in the church I now attend in the UK as I finally left a popular Nigerian Church that has branches almost everywhere here in the world. I rejoice and congratulate you brother for finding such a Church. What you listed above fits with the true church description in Acts. I have paraphrased some features below which we have going on in our church and I know you have similar in your church too. Leadership is plural and never one Oga Pastor. Giving is emphasised to be cheerful and not grudgingly. Most people are generous givers and give through direct debit and money is never a major item on the sunday program itinerary, therefore money is under our feet and not on top of our head. No ego,no special people who are close to the Senior leader (Or Pastor) No beauty competition dressing among the sisters. (Of course we are not perfect). Major emphasis on prophecy, every Sunday we (people) prophesy and they've been true.It doesn't have to be one single well respected Pastor.Most Nigerians can confirm that when other normal brothers say something like He heard from God in a typical Nigerian church,people don't believe and people only believe its serious when it's one major Pastor saying it. No profiteering from heavenly spiritual gifts (I'm not talking about secular talent)I mean asking money for prayer,or asking money to sing to God. Certainly no superstar. In the same congregation, there are people that design aircraft structures,prison workers,low income people,IT consultants and alcohol addiction recoverer, but you will never know.Nobody respects anyone based on their profession but do love one another as fellow brother or sister. I can go on and on.There is need of a Godly reform and true revival in the Nigerian church.It is very plain and simple. Anyway I celebrate with you brother for finding such a church even though we know there is no perfect church. 26 Likes 1 Share |

thesicilian: The problem is not the use of loud speakers, but they should contain the sound inside the church. There is no need to put the speakers on the streets when the congregation are within. Schwartz: Be careful what you wish for... You know churches (Oyinbo churches) in europe are mostly state financed so there no need to for them to collect money from the members. But it comes at a cost. Don't be surprised if the church says its Ok to be gay and that they will perform the ceremony for the gay couple. Because the churches can't say no less they lose the government's support. 1 Like |
