Pastors should preach more against idolatry than they do about prosperity.

has pervaded the church in unimaginable ways.

People have gone back to the old ways surprisingly.

It is secretly done but its a menace to the christiandom.

I think pastors should direct the people to the appropriate channel whenever they are faced with challenges.

and you think that anyone who goes to church consistently do engage into idolatry?

!how?

!how?

By engaging in the worship of other gods directly or indirectly.

Snakedoctor1:

well, what you should know is, when it comes to worship, you can't judge whether people worship other gods by merely see them engaging with other gods. Worship only comes from the heart.

Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth(not with what you do)confession is made unto salvation.

What this means is that, salvation is not by what we do,but by our faith. And if you see a Christian who consistently goes to church having one traditional juju shrine in his backyard, his heart or his faith may be fully with God though he may have the shrine there at his backyard and ignorantly thinking that the shrine is protecting him.
Such person's worship is still accepted by God so long he has faith in Christ for his eternal life.
In that case, you can't judge him
