Good question! because christianity has been hyjacked by crooked pastors and christians has become so gullible and selfish nawadays that they worship only their pastors not God, and they have become only interested in miracles properity and testimonies and completely ignored what christianity is all about. and churches has been divided into thousands of fractions and given different names were different doctrines is been conducted, and they have completely forgotten and ignored the truth that they are supposed to be worshipping one God, pastors are now like celebrities, actors, amature magicians and musicians who wears expensive designer clothings and drives expensives vehicles (while their members are poor and hungry) with body guards and security men protecting them even though they are preaching that God is the only protector, does it mean that they don't even believe in God to protect them? and so on and so forth.

Its better to stay at home, read your Bible and pray, than to attend some of these so called Churches.

In as much as the points stated by him are correct, l also want to say that bringing comedy during sermons usually make the congregation follow duely but giving only sermons without stories of illustrations or comedy makes the whole thing boring . lt takes the grace of God to be able to conquer sleep,absent mindedness and distractions....

He didn't mention sermon but comedians coming to make jest of the Bible

comedy in the church is not really a bad thing!!! i have seen alot of comedians in churches and have never seen anyone ridicule Christianity! if at all there are som.peopl who do such!! all thats needed is just strict warnings!!!

NOTE!! IT IS BETTER TO DANCE MAKOSA IN THE CHURCH THAN TO DANCE IT IN THE CLUB! IT IS BETTER TO MAKE THE PEOPLE OF GOD LAUGH THAN MAKING WORLDLY PEOPLE LAUGH.

i encourage young people when i see them going to church to use thier talent for worship. comedians should not be discouraged in churches!! it will only push them out of church!!

then the question will be!!! what then have we gained by sending them out ??

what you type here is wrong. Christianity is not to crack jokes ok. Christianity suppose to have a sober mind willingly to surrender to the direction of God. What bro mike said is very true. Most comedians today mock God as if they are the one that create themselves.

"We hear of other religions where they are obsessed with protecting the image of their Leader"

All due respect the general in God's Kingdom who has used theatre arts to do magnificent exploits. I honour you Sir.

My Views;

Because of religion many a people are intolerant beheading each other. Criticising and hating the so called unbeliever, Jesus did not come because of the saved but for the lost.
I keep hearing; Religion is the problem.

A talented comedian does not have a place in his father's house. The Kingdom of God is not for Religious people but for those who have accepted Lord Jesus. A Born again comedian! Vs a sinful prophet, God can use any vessel.

To balance it... Too much of everything is not good. Rather create special comedy program if our elders are not cool with. Comedy

God bless you bro mike for this wonderful insight. It is so unfortunate today that most of our pastors do invite comedians to crack jokes in mockery of God. Even in their shows they do mock God. May God have mercy on us. In the body of christ things have fall apart. What our so called pastors are boasting now is the properties they acquired not the souls they won. The most painful part is that they will be pulled in their legs by their members that have been carried away with the so called wealth they. That's why am the prophet of my own. The Lord is my helper. I thank God for his grace. What a great insight.

Na evrytn dey bad for church


Na wao

Nigerians? Na dm carry religious pass for head

Bt na stil nigeria badt tn dey mostly happen

it is the one that's highly religious in this end time we are that will be bullied with the end time wealthy pastors. They can't even boast of souls they won for christ again. What they do now is to showcase their wealth. All is well.

Abeg
Una carry the religion pass the Oyinbo can introduced it to una self

hmmmm. Even I have not see oyinbo you mention allowing comedian in their churches. I have watch series of don moen concert I have not see comedian in his concert in the united state. We ought to separate worldly things from God things.

you didn't disappoint as i expected, you didn't and couldn't Answer any of my questions, you see? you so called Righteous christians never Answer Any questions about your religion, the religion and God you claim to believe in , i mean, how can you convert me or convince me to becoming A christian and Righteous like you? if you could not even Answer simple questions on the God and religion you know so much about? i actually asked that questions genuinely, what does body of christ means? were is it located? and if you have ever seen it?
you have failed in your Religious Endeavours if you couldn't give an unbeliever like me a simple explaination , i am sure you tell yourself every morning when you wake up that you are a true christian who will go to heaven ( up in the sky) one day.
yet again you are directing me to a quote in a book, the bible, that was written is it 3000 years ago? by people who can not be verified if they even existed.

Oh friend! I need not reply you at this point but I did just to enlighten your thinking a bit... I understand your mockery but The Living GOD can't be mocked... You seem not to understand. You want someone who keeps dwelling in argument with you. Lolz

Well friend...I will advice you to read up the Word...Take the time to read your Bible daily and with time the Power of GOD will guard your wisdom and understanding in the right direction.

I Pray may you not be a regret to your generation... Take care!

heaven is nt for the jester, it sufferth violence and the violent taketh it by force.. u don't blend God rules to suit people desire...it is written already.. Jesus didn't put a comedian among his disciples , so dat he would b entertaining dem.

Here is a list of nonsensical activities that have crept into the church.

1. Football tournament.

2. Beauty pageant.

3. Cultural day.

4. Comedy night.

What about those pastors that uses church as an avenue to make money? After Lil Kesh will tell us that his father owns a church bcs he see it as business. You will not mind your business now, just bcs comedy is trying to pay us and you want to cut it short. Comedy in church must keep going but not to abuse God. Yes some comedians use men of God to make jokes bcs of the way they behave, how can a man of God wake up and tell a jobless youth that by this time next year I see you Piloting plane.. ''My brother how?''.. They will say I see you going to Canada without visa.. You dey craze?

hmmm lol you are very funny ooo.

rckdude:


There lies the problem, experience wasn't meant to be just a musical celebration. It's a service and everything we as Christians do to God must be done in fear and trembling.

They sing to God and worship. A guest preacher comes around and gives a message and that is still not a service to you? So what exactly makes gathering of believers a service to God? Pray tell me.

The ministry was given in song with prayers no program was printed no tithe or offering was taken so please how does it make it a service

what I think is going on is no one expected it to be this big and unite all Christians together

Larablink:
Never knew it was a bad thing to laughter oover spiritual things. I'm serious reading meaning from what his saying. I have learnt something today.

Honestly I have felt repulsive at some Jokes, not necessarily by the Original comedians...but by other persons who rehearse the stinking conjectures at office or other social gathering and the profanity some of these unbelievers put into it. It seems we Christians fuel their propensity to always portray Men of God and Holy things in bad light. I have a friend on the other side. He is full of jokes...but d jokes are always and i mean always, a parody of the gospel and Christian ministers in particular. You almost want to agree with him that most Christians are charlatans and their activities r comical. I used to wonder where he sources his jokes from, or if that is actually what they teach in their religious meetings. I am beginning to see that He might not be to blame entirely . Mike Bamiloye is very much on point, and I pray All Pastors should review thee activities in gatherings, but am hoping in this case humour should not be thrown out completely with the attendant dirty water that has been noticed. We should be careful and thread wisely as There r some positives to the creation of Humour but not at d expense of making light of holy things

hMmmm and souls are perishing. In churches today it is now business as usual. Am not to judge anyone here. No winning of souls for christ again. Seriously everything is going down by the day in the body of christ. What am seeing this days is the acquiring their asset. Most they will always speak on their networth of wealth. God help us in this race.

sweery:

Must you quote everything just to write two words?


@post I don't see anything bad with comedy in church.

Jesus christ died to give us LIBERTY.I don't know why some christians tend to cage themselves in becausé of dogmas/doctrines backward and limiting mentalities.


To those mentioning me just know i ain't gon reply you.

through out the scriptures did u see God crack jokes with Moses , elijah ,elisha and other prophets or did u see Christ crack jokes as well , is the house of God a place to crack jokes or to worship God in truth and in spirit ? Do Muslims , buddisht , siks , crack jokes in their holy temples , not to talk of the most high God !!

Seriously? Are you saying it's until you give tithes and offering before you can consider yourself to be in the presence of God?

I attended the first 3 Experience and believe me the conveyner had always planned it very big. I'd probably tell you that it's less big now because most people I know have stopped attending for one reason or the other.

My thinking still is, anywhere the name of God is mentioned genuinely, God would be in their midst. So it doesnt matter how you choose to call it, most people go there to worship God - and that makes its a service.

Not a bad idea at all if you are discerning. While the Churches leaders are to primarily give themselves to the Word and feed the sheep spiritually..Man is not entirely spirit. He has a social and physical dimension that needs to be catered for as well. The Ministers even in both Old testament times and in the new testament times recognised this and in their wisdom created departments to handle these externalities. For example, to preach to a call girl to repent from what obviously is a thing of joy and economic survival is stupendous and a huge joke. Will you feed her,clotge her and give her a commensurate standard of living and many others like her, and for how long?? If she is hit with lack and want and d negative stigma that comes with the loss of the means to ' good living' for how long will she hold out when temptations roll. So you need to empower, people, whether they be youths,or whatever to have what it takes to hold out on their own without being additional burden to the Church or other good hearted persons. Same reason why the missionaries established schools and the major games we play today.

Just becomes sometin is accepted and normal by man does mean it is accepted by God .. Have u seen , Muslims , Sikhs , Hindus , buddist crack jokes in there various places of worship ? Why do we twist Christianity to our own fantasies and not follow the principles in the bible , did we see Moses , Elisha and elijah cracking jokes while doin the work of God ?

There are churches, & there are 'churches'. If u'v discovered any falsehood around u, QUIT! ......but who's gonna free others languishing in captivity??

my dear there are many things we are doing and don't know we are committing sin against the holy spirit.

That's why people like Bishop chikancy were raised to show what comedy should actually be. He jokes, but there's always a strong message and great spirituality.

You cannot be allowed on pulpit in a place like Christ Embassy with such carnality.

Infact, it should even go beyond what jokes are being made to WHO the comedian is. Is he born again and Spirit filled or is he neither here nor there? Because that's a ministry on its own. How much of the Word is he grounded in?

In church today, in a club tomorrow with worldly jesting.
There should be a difference please!

in reverse case you are saying it's not bad for watch man to sleep on duty, neither is bad for guard to get drunk. that's wat comedy does to the church it's makes us laugh to forget our purpose for being on earth. it turns us to Lukewarm. #HonourAndRespectForChrist
