I discovered that many youths have abandoned the churches they were born into to other churches (especially modern churches) and in most cases it happens once they enter high institution. Please, tell us why you prefer your current church to the church your parents dedicated you to?
I changed to another church because I became tired of my former church pattern.

You will soon get tired of Jesus Christ. All these millenials sef.

My dad was attending Living Faith when I was born , we where born in the west.
When we moved back to the south we switched church because Living Faith wasn't close to us.
I am a Baptised Catholic now, I think where I later moved to when growing up influenced me been a Catholic.
Times are changing now I am drift towards deism with little or no prayer at times and taking things the way I see it.
I still reverence God and nature in my life.
This is my story.

*The Church I admire now is Jehovah Witnesses I allow them to preach to me on Sunday as though it is my only hope of drifting to God and Jesus.
Why not listen to Catholic teachings? Don't put yourself in a "Neither hot nor cold" category (Revelation 3:16); you will regret it.

IF YOUR CHURCH CAN NOT CHANGE YOU, CHANGE YOUR CHURCH! ----GENERAL OVERSEER (GO), OMEGA POWER MINISTRIES (OPM) WORLDWIDE

I used to be a Catholic member, infact about going into the Priesthood, however I discovered how to really match every single word of God in the Bible with acidic prayers and see it come to pass in my life after I attended OMEGA POWER MINISTRIES (OPM) WORLDWIDE programs in Port Harcourt, and equally discovered GOD IS THERE.

I was inside the Church on a Sunday Mass when I decided it was my last ... I knew I wanted to hear God's word that would make me want to go further in my knowledge of him but it was not there ,,,.... Homilies that didn't speak to your worries and questions. ..Could even meet with witness peeol and discuss with them .....And yet very arrogant because in block rosary thee is this brain washing that we are the only church peeps that will make heaven and other yarn


This is what is lacking that I found elsewhere ...Making the word ever green and practical


Thanksgiving service for the month September
Theme of the month …. Supernatural Breakthrough is my birthright
Teaching series for the month: Gateways to supernatural breakthroughs….Part 4
Call to service: Psalms 126:1-
Ministering: Pastor Tolu Adekoya


Life is designed for progress … Lack of progress is the reason for frustration in life….. Breakthrough is about making satisfactory progress in life …… The beauty of life is motion
Backbiters are stagnated people. The cure for backbiting is progress.
Failure makes a colourful destiny to misbehave …. The covenant of Breakthrough does not allow the past to be better than you today… You are not making progress if your yesterday is better than today ….It is anti covenant

Why Breakthrough

God is against stagnation….. Where you are is not your place of rest ….A higher place awaits you….. Micah 2:10
Destinies of people are tied to you …, You are a saviour. You can't afford to keep destiny on the floor because of you lack of breakthroughs.
It is not enough to pray for prosperity you must give to prosperity …. To have more in this kingdom you give … It is what you give out that prospers you in this kingdom not what you receive.
There is prayer seed and material seeds to sow for you to reap. Prayer clears everything around you. Prayer alone doesn't bring prosperity … If you just have Breakthrough in life there are things you must do spirituality and there are things you must do physically.

The force of love ….The first spiritual things to do is to love God ...Matt 22:36-40…. It is your life for a things that makes you a servant for that thing … If you love money you will become a servant to it and it will push you around …,.It takes love of God to be a servant of God ….And he takes pleasure in the prosperity of his servant ...Psalm 35:27 …… My service is powered by a genuine love for God…….. Don't operate like a bat..,neither a rat nor a bird

What authenticate your service to God is your life for him…… 2 Cor 2:9….. The deeper your root in the love of God the larger the advancement you command in the journey of life. …. If you love God you will love his people and his house.

You need the force of sacrifice to command Breakthrough. Doing your best is diligence but going beyond your best is sacrifice ….Taking steps without looking back. It is the initiative to go the extra mile because it is only those who do what others don't do that gets what others don't get

Successful people are ex-failures who got mad at their failure … There is no star without a scar. …. There is one thing you need to pursue for other things to pursue you….. God
Serving God out of comfort doesn't bring you anything…. You can't suffer pain in this kingdom and not live a life of comfort

Keys to the world of supernatural breakthroughs and prosperity.

Prosperity belongs to the spiritual. It is your spiritual buoyancy that determines your physical buoyancy. …. Pro 10:22 ...3 John 2 ...Exo 13:5 …. When you are spiritual alive you can hear God when he speaks to you on where to go and not go to make it … Be spiritually minded. Until you prosper spiritually you can't prosper physically. You must seek your spiritual prosperity. … ...It is called a weight of glory .. if you don't have the capacity ...God is not a killer ...He won't deliver it to you. …. If you want change of level build capacity because it serves as your foundation for your Breakthrough in life. ….What goes into you and what you do is what builds you. ...What you hear what you see is what determines your attitude per time ….You can't escape spirituality if you want to be successful.. blessings are first spiritual before they became material ….until you have the capacity to bring it you can't have it in the material world ………….Until you change gear spiritual you can't change level
Engage in covenant practice ….whatever seed you are sowing without being spiritual is a wasted seed. … Don't waste your seed ...Clean up spiritually… Go settle with that person first ...Forgive

What is boring about serving God? As long as the word of God is being preached, it can never be boring. Hearing word of God is like fire burning within 1. It's like a sword or lance piercing 1's heart. Every other thing is an add-on.

People will only lie down if the word is green ...He maketh me to lay down in green pastures ... If the word is not feeding him spiritually he should walk out ... Serving God is not boring if the holy spirit is allowed his way in the congregation.

Exactly! That's why I'm changing from Catholic Church. Same routine every Sunday! I even stopped going to church at a point, like for 3 months or so.

I stopped for a whole year ...I was inside the Church preaching was in and I was thinking about my life ...Sighed , got up and left .

Don't be too confident about this statement. I actually had a quarrel with the first lady I would have married ....I will not tolerate her being a member of house on the rocks .... Catholic Church is it or nothing but I am a winner today and extremely grateful to God for the change

You are spiritually lazy hence an easy material for the pleasure of men... You can't see that no scripture recommend what he is been doing with your mangoes in the name of positioning for marriage ... Go look for a word based church and don't forget to report the abuse

The word of God is evergreen. As long as it is the word of God & not the words of flesh, the world or the devil, it is bound to produce fruits if it's applied correctly; see hebrews 4:12. If the word of God isnt feeding 1 spiritually, something is wrong not with the word but the person receiving the word. Remember the parable of the sower Jesus told? The quality of the word of God is unquestionable. It is all good seed (2 timothy 3:16)yet not all of them yielded harvest. The seed that was eaten by birds was of the same quality & pedigree with the seeds that produced a 100 fold harvest. What was the difference? The soil (which Jesus later explained represented the hearts of men). If a man's heart falls into the category of rocky, weed-infested or pathway soils, the word of God can never be truly fruitful. No matter how many churches 1 changes, it would never solve the case of a wrong heart. Allowing the Holy Spirit have His way is a personal decision. The day most of us realize that the greatest enemy we have to win in the battle of the Spirit is ourselves & not external forces, our walk with God would greatly improve.

i guess you are refering to catholic. I would love to see those materials the priest showed you.
I can't remember the names of the materials he gave me about the doctrines of the catholic church but the last book i was given was a true story about the conversion of a presbyterian minister to Catholicism. His name was scott & i think his wife's name was kimberly. He detailed how the Holy spirit & intense study of God's word led him & his family to the catholic church.
