@loyaljakeun@100_crown@Decentaviator This is where you shot yourself in the foot. "The people just have to CLAIM...". You can't say it's in the name of Christianity of Christianity does not endorse it!!! This isn't even a religious statement. This should be common logic
@Oye_dele@seunosewa This your comment dey very somehow.
First, this isn't a church service. Secondly, I can even argue that the use of devices doesn't make a spiritual gathering (which this isn't) to be less spiritual, as long as people aren't distracted by them.
@loyaljakeun@Decentaviator "In the name of Christianity". You must have a lot of proof especially from Christianity's rule book (The Bible). If not, YOU ARE A LIAR!
But nobody should be a full-time pastor only. Every pastor should have work they're doing outside ministry. Pastor don charge you now, you dey complain. You "Christian/pastor-haters" are the biggest hypocrites. Kai!
PASTORS IN LACK, CHRISTIANS GIVING IS THE SOLUTION

These are not the only pastors in Nigeria. Read that again. These are not the ONLY PASTORS IN NIGERIA. Yes, these people are men of means. God has helped them. They can be called wealthy, because they are.
But don’t get it wrong - they are not every pastor. They do not represent 97% of Pastors in Nigeria. And if you will ask them, they will tell you the same thing. For many of them have to reach out to struggling pastors.
There are pastors struggling - in mission fields, in hinterlands, in the cities, in your neighborhood, everywhere. They can barely keep the church doors open. Yes, they are seeing conversions. Souls are being won and discipled. Yet their family and children are languishing in pain, and lack. They will not complain - but their children are bearing the brunt of the calling.
In their lack, they still have people they must support. Welfare that must be given. People struggling to pay rents and fees. They can’t turn their face away.
In their lack, they give. And YES MANY PASTORS ARE WEARY, TIRED AND BURDENED. Yet they keep going on. Oh, no, they are not lazy.
Some work menial jobs, and other jobs. Some pay salaries to new converts. Some are permanently fasting, because the monies for food have been given out to some other family. It’s the burden of the calling.
They need your help…especially if you are not attending a mega church. Please do give to your Pastor. Support him. Support the work. Make his life and that of his family easy. Encourage him with your words.
If you can, pay the school fees of some of his wards.
Send food to his house.
Buy him clothes.
Give your offering. Pay your tithes. Buy equipment. Ask him how you can be of help. Support the work.
Don’t listen to the noise online, the world isn’t coming to build God’s Kingdom. You are! We are!!!
Everyday I hear stories that break me. Marriages on the verge of breaking. People going to places you will never dream of going. Souls aren’t just in Lagos, Abuja and Port-Harcourt. There are souls in Oro, Keffi, Jen, Abule-Ero, Ekpoma etc.
Please support your pastor today.
Do share this that other Christians may see it.
Grace to you!!!
In Christ,

When my mum was sick, I only told a friend in the choir about it. During the conversation, he casually asked me if I had told our resident pastor. That was so strange to me because I thought "what's his business with that?"...
After that call, in less than 5 minutes, my resident pastor called me, asked about my mum and me, asked for where she was admitted and ensured I kept him posted. My choir leaders held prayers for her, my friends took good care of me and my pastor came to visit her in the hospital
