PASTOR BASHING ON SOCIAL MEDIA

 Man Quits Church As Pastor Tells Congregation To Contribute Money For Wife.

Omooba Adeleye, has joined the crew. It is no news that social media dome is a hangout for lies, malice and exaggerations in negativity against the pastor. He just fired a good one at pastor[s] using[imaginary?] one as a scapegoat. Why not? If social media attacks kills- pastors ,evangelists and other workers in the "vineyard", especially the ones in Nigeria, would have all been cut down by hails of bullets from critics like Adeleye. Should anyone bother? No, of course, after all, one way to get attention, one way to attack clergymen is to go on social media, post a story that sound outrageous and can not be verified; one that would leave us with our mouth hanging, such as the above handle from X. It is a no brainer to bastardize and portray one religious sect in bad light, in a pluralistic society like ours on social media . Many indulge in this campaign of calumny because any bad news against the pastors will attract traffic to their site. Nigeria does not practice monotheism [the worship of one God] why is it that it is only the christian faith that goes under the hammer? And many are ready to gobble any bad news about the pastor, even if it sound impossible and implasuble and can not be verified. Many posts by christian antagonists are the figment of their imaginations and, at best, exaggerations. Every bad man in the society is painted with a brush of being a pastor the more so to smear the Church. I am tempted to consider the above link as one of them. Why not be more specific when you decide to post such weighty allegation against a pastor? Do you have a witness? With everybody feeling the economic crunch, why would a pastor who he,[Adeleye] said have 5 cars [that is a fleet] calls on his church members to buy one for his wife? Sounds incredulous to me. Adeleye also took his time to count how many cars the pastor possesses, when others are busy petitioning thier God and asking for directions. Talk about pure motives! And in such a scenario, what is the board of elders saying? I mean, if a pastor can possess a fleet of cars then the church is rich enough to have board of elders who advise the pastor. Many do not know that there is church administration in most churches; a pastor that can afford 5 cars as personal automobile would be wrong to tell his members to provide another one for his wife. From my 30 years in church ministry, no board of elders would entertain such request . Why is this slew of hate against this one religion? Is it because it is making impact and converting souls? Many have been killed in the northern part of that country, Nigeria. They are met with stiff resistance and death threat from some people in some state in the country. If any religious sect has contributed immensely to Nigeria's growth, it is Christianity. In terms of education, they lead the way more than the government. There are many christian owned. universities [Benson Idahosauniversity, Redeemer'suniveristy, Covenant university, and more] in the country with an excellent result in terms of performance and academic staff. It is no news that often the federal universities go on strike for more than a exceeding one academic section while the student languishes at home losing academic year meanwhile their counterpart in christian schools are doing just fine without interruptions. Christian ministries like Redeem christian church have constructed roads, Christ embassy has built police stations, and gave it to the government. Many have large scale industrialised farms employing millions. Others have hospitals with modern equipments Many give scholarships to students every year. Their schools, churches all speaks of excellence. Electricty and water supplyis constant compare to governemnt owned. For one person to come on social media and speak lies and exaggeratios all to bring pastors in badlight, speaks of nothing, but envy at its worst.Meanwhile, the some northern states are advocating for sharia laws; in a federation where there exist federal laws.

See you in church.

Exodus 12:38 ** And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.                            Numbers 11:4-6 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat? We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlicky: But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes. There ain't nothing wrong with protest against the government, or any large or even small cooperation, but the motive matters. For the Christian, please remember that your God weighs the motive, no matter how good the cause may be. Amongst those that will join the  schedule protest Less than 3 percent of the total tu...

PRIDE DEFLATOR

  Luke 18:13,  And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as   his   eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. Luke 18:11-12,  The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men  are , extortionist, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I possess. Isaiah 64:6,  But we are all as an unclean  thing , and all our righteous nesses  are  as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. Those who have acquired the mind of Christ through desires and seeking [for those who seek shall find] may have discovered that one thing that puts God off from us like other iniquities, is PRIDE. God hates pride and those who have appeared before him with a handbook of qualifications often go home empty. Cross check the opening Bible verses....

The Blood of Jesus

  The blood is one of the most important part of the human body system; it is like an engine oil to a car. If there is no engine oil in an automobile powered by engine the car will not only stop, but the engine is broken which professionals call ‘knock’. Blood! so important in religious circle; indeed there is no religion that does not talk about blood, especially, Christianity and the Judaism. Healthwise, most patients needs blood infusion to recover. Medically, blood  is grouped into four : O, A, B, AB These groups all have their origins and meanings, each blood type contains the genetic message of our ancestors’ diets and behaviors, and though weare a long way from early history, many of their traits still affect us. The original blood type was O. And the most symbolic blood of all, the one you will mostly hear people proclaim, confess and exalt is the blood of Jesus Christ, which is central and sacred to Christianity. This among others reason is that sin, which has separat...
