Idolatory in the house of God in Nigeria

Exodus 20:3 "Thou shalt have no other gods before me"

If I returned to Nigeria today, I will not fit in to many of the current Evangelical - Pentecostal church system because of what I call IDOLATRY. I did not just suddenly develop this mindset, I have always been like this and some in my former church in Nigeria called me "proud" because I would not submit to human worship. Those who knew me would attest I have never disrespected any human authority in the church anywhere but I have never submitted my destiny into the hands of any man as is often demanded of many Christians in Nigeria. Some of my friends would attest to some of my predictions about the outcome of the WITCHCRAFT (effort to control the lives of others for selfish gain) that was (and is still) prevalent in many churches in Nigeria. They put other people's children under bondage and let loose their own - many lives have been ruined, many marriages destroyed, many potential relationship were thwarted, and the course of many live changed for worse.

The level of reverence many church goers in Nigeria give to the so called men of god, they do not accord one tenth of such to the God of the man of god. The say words like: "if not for the man of God, we would not be where we are" - really? What about God?; we honor our father in the Lord. There is no such thing as father in the lord (Matthew 23: 9 - "And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.") - there is only one father in the house of God - that is the ALMIGHTY himself, no man deserve that level of honor - mere mortals, who tomorrows fails and the faith of many is ruined because it was never in God but in the man of god.

We will be surprised on the day of judgement, won't we?

  THE GREATEST ASSET EVER – LAND “Every time I make a movie, I buy a LAND” – Tiffany Haddish (Actress, Comedian, Singer, and Producer). If you do not know yet, I announce to you that the greatest asset that will give you an assured return, whose value hardly depreciates, is LANDED property . Reflect on the major wars going on right now in the world that are predicated on the issue of LAND. WHY? It is one of the GEM God endows humanity with that is finite in quantity. While the human population continues to increase, land area remains the same or is diminishing due to climate change. The Russia's war in Ukraine , the Gaza war , the DRC-M23 war/Rwanda , Sudan's civil war , the Cambodia–Thai war , herdsmen-farmers' violence in Nigeria and the Ethiopian civil war … all are predicated on access to land and what is in it – rare earth minerals . So, in 2026 , if you have the opportunity to invest in an asset, think about landed property.

WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO EXTREMELY GOOD PEOPLE

There is a saying in my language, Yoruba , that “Igi to ba to, kii pe n’gbo” – meaning, the good ones do not seem to last or live long. WHY? Tatiana Schlossberg, granddaughter of John F Kennedy (The U.S. President who championed the civil rights movement to end discrimination; one of the greatest U.S. presidents ever) and daughter of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis , passed away today from cancer at a young age of 35. Like her grandfather and many others in the Kennedy family, she dedicated her life to changing the world. She was a passionate environmental journalist for the New York Times and wrote a book titled "Inconspicuous Consumption: The Environmental Impact You Don’t Know You Have” in 2019 that won the Society of Environmental Journalists’ Rachel Carson Environment Book Award in 2020. Her life’s work sheds light on how individuals’ daily activities and choices exacerbate climate change issues . Tatiana Schlossberg's work focused on making complex environmental issue...
