8. By 2002, BLW had become the most prominent Christian ministry on television in not just Nigeria but all over the African Continent with her Atmosphere for Miracles. Nigerian former President, Olusegun Obasanjo through the NBC in May 2004 stopped the airing of miracles on Television, an action that was largely seen by Pastor Chris as targeting Christ Embassy and subsequently took the matter to court.

16. Today, Christ Embassy has about 3,500 branches in about 5 continents of the world.

21. Though he is a protégé of the late Archbishop Benson Idahosa, Pastor Chris is not a member of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) pioneered by Idahosa and others.

the bible is there to read and it states it clearly. Don't just read one verse and hold on to it. It continues in explanation below.

  Exodus 20:  4“You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth.
 5“You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, 
6but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments

if you want to stay in your ignorance pls do. But stop spreading it.

I never said idols are in heaven. You can make for instance an image of Angel Michael and turn it into an idol. That's wrong.

Oh I think i know what the problem is now lol. Pls Google the meaning of the word idol

But you don't gush over seun, neither do you create threads all over the place in his honor. Do you put up his status on your social media accounts, sending out praise and adoration to him when you can't see him? Have you expressed inspiration from seun in this way?

When last did you use seun as your profile pic? Wallpaper? Bore us with sound bites from him? When have you defended him without knowing him? Sworn that he's a genuine computer programmer? Defended his honor against detractors with facts?

If you haven't, then he's not at the "god" level you've placed this man on yet.

Herod is a reasonable example of why you shouldn't worship any man.

We as humans are connected to the things we believe in or love through physical-representations such as people, pictures, etc.

For instance I love rap music. My express my love for it through Rappers I adour such as NAS, EMINEM AND BIGGIE as my TOP-3.

Same way I love basketball and adour anything that MICHAEL JORDAN has to do with it.

Now I gush over nas, Eminem, biggie and MJ. I have their pictures everywere on my wall. These people represent what I love and believe in which are basketball and music.

Connect this to the op, perhaps he loves and practicalises Christianity as much as I practicalise my music and basketball.

What Michael Jordan, Eminem nas and biggie are to me for music and b ball is what pastor Chris is to him in his religion and to an extent, to God.

Cause pastor Chris inspires him towards God.

I can aware if the op had said this much about leonel messi or Christian Ronaldo or wizkid, neither u nor seun would have responded the same way.

Bottom line, is leave people to express themselves towards the things they believe in and desist from undue sensitivity.

The op didn't cross the line.


Take note I am not a fan of pastor Chris. I admire his teaching & preaching skills more than anything else he has to offer e.g his healings, miracles, tithe-polycies and tongue-speaking, becos I have my doubts and reservations towards these part of what these men of God occasionally do.

But whoever believes in them, I don't judge the person.

Last bullet: I don't HV seun's picture. The only ways I can express my admiration for him is by spending countless hours on his handwork and defending him to detractors around me.

Cheers!

You couldn't have said it better, imagine if everyone had your reasoning, terrorism would be a thing of the past, same way he may like Messi so much to watch him play week in week out, so we love pastor Chris.

I needed not say much.
