Some Christians are driven by S+tanism. They fear S+tan more than God — Speaker Esther Ideh

Speaker Esther Ideh has sparked a conversation among Christians after questioning whether some believers’ faith is driven more by fear of s+tan and the desire to solve personal problems than by genuine love for God.

Speaking on The Shining Light Show, Ideh argued that some Christians may be motivated by s+tan rather than God, particularly in their prayers, fasting and pursuit of God.

“A number of Christians are driven by s+tanism, not God. And I say that because s+tan is the reason people want to pray. s+tan is the reason people want to fast. s+tan is the reason people want to seek the face of God, not because of God,” she said.

She also suggested that fear of s+tan has influenced Christian worship, including the songs believers sing.
“Our songs are even shaped by our fear of s+tan. A number of people fear s+tan more than they fear God,” Ideh said.

She then posed a question she believes Christians should seriously consider, “If s+tan didn’t exist, would you still believe in God? Would you still see the need for God? Would you still think of God the way you think of Him?”

According to her, Christianity is sometimes presented primarily as a solution to life’s problems, with believers being promised comfort, wealth and success.

“I think the way Christianity was given to us, I think that Christianity was given to us as a way out of our problems. Come to Jesus, your life will be great. Come to Jesus, everything will be perfect. Come to Jesus, you’ll get the biggest cars, the nicest house, the fanciest jobs,” she said.

Ideh ultimately challenged believers to examine the foundation of their faith, asking, “So if these things do not exist, would we still want God? Would we still love Him?”

CELEBRATION CHURCH INTERNATIONAL HEADQUARTERS MAY MOVE TO HER NEW FACILITY IN DECEMBER.- Apostle Emmanuel Iren

Apostle Iren, while rounding up the Second Service on Sunday, told the congregation that their newly acquired facility may be ready in December.

According to him, though the timeline doesn't work all the time, he's hopeful that it will be a reality. He also mentioned that the earlier proposed design they had made is no longer valid. Their intention before now was to remove the infrastructures on the facility and build a new one.

He further explained that he took two Senior Pastors in Lagos to the property and they told him that one of the warehouses in the facility will cost about a billion naira and demolishing it will be more of a waste. He was also told that getting Government approval for erecting a new building will take time and cause possible delays. He was advised that instead of demolishing the infrastructures, they should be remodeled into a better auditorium.

He concluded by telling the congregation that they are working on creating a good design as regards this latest development.
