There is nothing fantastic about your story. Just like most Africans, you were simply born into a setting where you were entrenched in religious activity from childhood. All you simply did, like most others was to merely continue to reinforce that position ever since. Even when you got of age and could think for yourself, you didn't interrogate the ideologies for their own merit. You simply carried on in the maze like most others.

Well, I was expecting the offering part anyways.


You said you bought a domain and will need donation so you manage it. Bro, you bought a domain name for your personal business, why making it look like a favour you are doing to others? It's a business you make a living from!

Why do they now say Christianity is free but we must buy Bibles, your ebook, pay tithe and offering and donate or risk God's wrath? Dem dey use Naira for heaven?

And the link to donate carries your personal name and account number with a preference for those abroad to donate too...not even the name of the church (just like other entrepreneurs do).


Man, this religion is really big business.

Many years ago, when I was a very young teenager just approaching the adolescence stage of life, I had some destiny-determinant experiences.

Now, I was born and grew up in a part of the country where immorality seems to be the norm. So, young boys can't wait to become adolescents and start doing the nasty things they see adults do - such as immoral sexual adventures, alcoholism, clubbing, and many more.

Yes, like several other young boys in the area, I was waiting to become an adolescent with a bit of freedom from my strict parents so I can also start exploring life. However, in my case, even as a young chap, I always feel the presence of God around me without having an explanation, and I know I have conversations with a Creature I don't know much about.

Then one day, even as a boy, I felt God talking to me, asking me to start walking with Him and be perfect. Now, I was worried, because despite being a boy, I know the meaning of what God was asking me to do. It means I won't 'enjoy' those things the adults around me were doing.

So, in my naivety, I started begging God to just give me one year to enjoy those sinful things too, after which I will start walking with Him perfectly(lol). But God didn't change His mind, but kept pestering me, as an expression of His great love. He asked me to start walking with Him in spirit and in truth as a youngster, and He made some promises to me..

Then, I decided to start a relationship with the LORD JESUS from a tender age. It was not a smooth ride, particularly considering the environment and other challenges. But God made grace available, being meticulous about me to ensure I grew up in Him.

Even as a young boy, I started preaching when the opportunity comes, particularly at church. Here is a picture of one of those moments of ministering as a child at church.

Judging by the way u turned out now I'd say you made a huge mistake setting foot into that church
You might never be a millionaire ride fast cars date pretty models travel around the world to Paris or elsewhere own companies or do anything cool you'll probably die a LOSER because you are in the rat race following useless teachings from when you were small and didn't question said ideology till you became a man
So keep preaching the God of the white man

Sorry to break it to you bro but you're A LOSER at life...

You opened this thread to market your ebook and also solicit donation.

Where is the church? Where’s the ngo? Where’s the charity organisation? Website is a personal one with your name. Bank account is a personal one as well. You people need to stop this.
Stop using Christianity and Sunday as platform and opportunity to make money.

God didn't talk to you, rather you were trying to make sense of life and to find your place in it.
It happens to every child, including those in Saudi Arabia, Japan, China, etc, who don't know Jesus.

Thanks for sharing his account details. I'm too lazy to open the link.

@ Interesting15 : I just sent a Token to support your personal ministry. I would glady give to a Youth like you than indirectly make Yeyebrities on various channels richer with my resources.

Your persistent evangelism in itself is a huge value addition to this rotten country. God is proud of you son. Keep it up.

It won't be too devastating if cash-cows are replenished by their homeland governments like Europeans and Americans! Back home here in Nigeria, cow milkers are brutal and despotic!

Religious belief is an invisible security blanket for insecure individuals.
Closeted minds will continue to allow brainwashing and indoctrination by religious leaders that there is a 'god', and there was a 'jesus', in order that the people with closed minds allow themselves to be controlled so that the various Corporations (churches) remain profitable as the tax-free money continues to roll in.

Oga whatever you have typed here doesn't change anything.

There is a God. Jesus Christ exist. Heaven is real, hell is real. It doesn't matter what you say or believe.

One thing is sure...

One day you will know the truth...either in this life or on the other side of eternity.

I just pray that it won't be too late before you do.

You said it all man

You got 🧠

Peesonal relationship is all that matters
Kenmatt:
You are not talking out of experience.

You were taken to Church as a child, and continued till teen and much more.

You never had the opportunity to check mate others after which you would be able to fish out the best for you.

They say the prove of the pudding is in the eating.

Going to Church and taking part in its activities has nothing to do with God. Thus; "Go you for you do the work without doing the word"

Church and God are like two parallel line that can never meet.

The bottom line is, have a cordial relationship with God the creator, it doesn't count the group you follow.

His ways are not our ways. He doesn't see the manner we do.

It's a personal thing.
