The Average Nigerian Christian Does NOT Worship God, They Worship Their Pastors” by AfricanGlitz(f): 7:26pm On Jan 02, 2019
“The average Nigerian Christian does NOT worship God, they worship their pastors, Daddy/Mummy GO/Prophet, Bishop or Evangelist”. Said popular Nigerian writer, Nekchi Bianze. This comes after pictures and videos of Christians kneeling and bowing to their pastors started circulating the internet this past month.

Nkechi Bianze in her usual Facebook writeup said…

“The average Nigerian Christian does NOT interpret the Bible on their own. They wait for their pastors and GOs to interpret it for them. For instance, if a verse of the Bible says “Eat and merry to the Glory of God” and their daddy GO tells them that it means “Bring all your money to me”, then that verse means that they should bring all their wealth to daddy GO. Any other interpretation of that verse is ignorant and not inspired by the holy spirit. That’s why different churches can have different interpretations for same verse of the Bible. It is what the pastor or GO says that the church members go with.

Tje biggesst truth. The way some ignoramuses of the bible run to defend their MOgs, youd think they are fighting ww3 on that spot. but he is a mere mortal man, a vessel that can be replaced. The Power that gives thr power is what should be worshipped and not the one the power is inside him.


Thats why we have less Josh Mcdowells these days that can defend the scriptures from a sane and truthful way.

That's truly unfortunate. I think people truly desire to see Christ in the flesh...and so the next best thing is to have the man of God (who's supposed to have an upright character) be the substitute.
Many congregants (of all races) here in the U.S. also place more faith and confidence in their leaders rather than God..the father.
There seems not to be a balance.
The leaders (especially pastors) have an important role to play...but any sincere leader will always refer the person back to the Word...and tell them to prayerfully seek the Holy Spirit for wisdom, knowledge and understanding.

If Daddy GO tells them to hold his d*ck and they ask him why, he will simply tell them.............."THE BIBLE SAYS THAT IN YOUR RIGHT HAND SHALL BE PLEASURES FOREVER MORE!!!"

Okay, you mean the "my lips are sealed", is the something I said that you agree with?

So does that means that you actually want me to say nothing here, because that something i said was actually nothing?

Wisdom again....
Look at how you intelligently reasoned the above emboldened?
If only you could channel that kind of wisdom correctly (in many other interpretations of biblical doctrine) ...with all due respect....man oh man...you'd be a powerful force for Christ wink
However, I wouldn't exactly call what you said "nothing".
We, loudly, clearly, and repeatedly, know how you feel about the church, unfortunately.

You mean applying the kind of wisdom that you guys have been applying here before my coming that made you to be so toothless with respect to the works of the satanists here who had taken over the place and were having a swell time here, that you were complaining that someone here who you very knew to be a champion of Christ had suddenly changed and began to follow another part?

I'm sorry for if that's what you mean by a champion for Christ, then I never want to be that, because what I do that may be hard saying and unpleasant for you has already made an authentic champion for Christ here.

I have been able to have more telling impact and inflicted more destruction on the works of Satan here more than the the likes of you combined here before I came.

Maybe you are unable to see the significant difference my light has had on the darkness that was previously here, because you think it's by coincidence that the you can be able to breath better, without having the otems and satanists here dominate the whole place with their blasphemous threads, as they have had to restrategize and reevaluate their tactics just because of a certain jesusjnr here.

As I, using my Christ-like ability has been able to expose them and their works here, which is the worst thing that you could do to their works of deception if you didn't know that already, as that would make their work of deception virtually impossible.

And you remember the moniker otem sapien, who later had to come again in the disguise of an atheist moniker called human droid, whose last appearance here was after my hard saying that busted his disguise, and that he had to start using an active moniker without a link that went by the name nobody.

Which i also think we have also seen the last of, and also the otem atum guy, for I think the blow he received from my hard saying yesterday or so he may never be able to recover with that moniker anymore.

You think wisdom is being sentimental, and about bragging rights, as in us the churches against them e.g. the atheists, well I don't do that for i'm not here to support spiritual substandardness and mediocrity but to do what my Master would have done had He been here, which is to destroy the works of Satan and to speak the hard sayings or Words of the Spirit, and if doing that is going to make a lot of you kind here disapprove of my Words here, then it's indeed a very good sign.

Because what you have that you call wisdom or makes you to think that you are a powerful force for Christ is something that Satan would prefer to continue here, as it makes him to be very comfortable here and even with the church today, as that's why atheism is trending like never before and wickedness etc. in the church is at its highest point.

So I know that you are a good person but good is not good enough at the level I am, otherwise I would be as as toothless as your kind have been here with respect to the works of Satan, for Satan upped his game ever since the kingdom of God was being preached, therefore good is no longer good enough to stop him, but you have to be close to perfect as the Master was to be able to overcome him, for if you didn't know he's indeed a strong man.

So I can't make you happy in this respect and yet have that kind of ability to wreck havoc on his works.

You guys may not know me but i'm well known and respected in where it matters in the spirit world, and also amongst little children, and I knew about my ability and what my spiritual reputation was before I came here, and the glaring difference I have been able to make here is only but a confirmation of what I already knew.

And someone I didn't know a few days ago said that I was the only Christian here that had earned her respect, only to find out that she had never opened any of my thread, and that she made that comment based on what the her subconscious voice told her about me, which I believe was the Holy Spirit.

I know that you'll certainly get to know my spiritual value when my time fully comes but then you'll be no different from anyone else, that's why I respect those that are able to spot the difference about me now that i'm not yet known, just like the little children, because it takes a high level of the spirit to be able to do so.

So i'm sorry I can't be what will make you happy because that would make Satan happy also.

Though i'm hoping you don't take this the wrong way, because I learnt from my Father and Master how to love someone the hard way for their own good.
