The Bible says in Eccl.3.1 - There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:

I completely agree to the fact that Christians shouldn't use the time meant for work or other useful things to pray. That's like being zealous in the wrong way, we should love and do the things of God but in the proper way:

Prov.19.2 - It is not good to have zeal without knowledge, nor to be hasty and miss the way.

Prayer in itself is something that should be done always in the heart not necessarily at defined times. As Christians we must learn to understand the difference between being righteous and being religious.

Work and Pray brethren at the right times, that's how it should be done.

In all this, if you are still living in sin, and still engaging in any religious activity, you are wasting effort and time.

Sin is our number one enemy, deal with it first before engaging with God


Don't just claim you know God, Make sure you use your words and character to preach Christ, let people feel God's holiness and love in you extending to them.

Be kind. Be polite. Be respectful. Be humble. Be diligent. Be Honest.

Please do vigil everyday if you can. After all, did they keep job for you if you stop doing vigil.

And those saying Christianity is scam, why are several developed countries having many Christians. Shebi dey do Christmas in December, to celebrate who? Jesus Christ Birth.

Why America never drop Christianity if na scam? You wey probably feel say you get sense others, wetin you and your gods don produce? You wey probably no believe in religion at all, what value have you added to your community?

Please do your Christianity to your satisfaction, pleasing God. Nigeria's problem is bad government, not Christianity. Abi na Christianity increase fuel?

If you want churches to build industries, let government give the churches money to build. You should not expect people to steal the nation's money, while the church does what the government should do. The church can do their part, but they are not the government.

Hey Pastor I love your teachings but on this I hate what you said...

You pastors have lambasted Obi for his actually truthful comments but have said absolutely nothing on

Muslim Muslim Ticket
Ineptitude of the Nigerian Government
Corrupt Government officials who are of your church
Injustices of the Nigerian justice system and courts..

Stop with your hypocrisy. Obi said the truth irrespective of how it hurts the church, Truth is Truth

People are trying to defend what he said. I don't buy that. This was a man that was moving from one church to another before the election even at night.
Secondly, he makes it look as if the night vigil was the cause of Nigeria problem. I am sure the reason he said that was perhaps Nigerians should be fighting the government instead of that they are spending time to be praying rather than taking the country for themselves.
When protesters were jailed for months, tell me what Obi and Atiku did. See something here, Atiku, Obi and the rest people that the election never favoured should be the once leading protest in Nigeria if they were actually serious and meant well for Nigeria. That was what opposition did before the 2015 election. Making reference to the church was completely nonsense talk because the percentages of churches that engaged in such a practice are not even up to 1.5 percent of the general churches around.
Obi problem is trying to impress people by dropping some punchline. What he said, to me was worrisome and most people defending that rhetorics are his people the Igbos who they themselves are beginning to abandoned Christianity, so why should I take their defence very serious and some talk BS over that as though church is their problem.
Lastly, it should be known that religion is not the greatest problem but those who have used it for their advantages. The top 7 religious country in the world are better than Nigeria.

A typical charismatic pastor. I think Oyakhilomie and Oyedepo are his mentors.

Obi and the pastors are scammer.

Last election, Obi was going from church to church twerking to fake prophecies from them.

When he lost, reality dawn on him that the pastor just lied to the mumu man. Then he started running around mosque and Muslims showed him the exit button.

Now Obi is out to rubbish the church like a woman scorned.

I love what is happening. More of it please.

In the UK, football fanatics are obsessed with anything football. They go to the stadium every matchday and even canonize the football club they , yet people don't blame them. It is wrong to chastise people for what they believe in.

Obidients will drag the hell out of him.

Peter Obi's ers are ers of Kanu who threatened to kill Kumuyi if he comes to the East.
Kumuyi dared Kanu and went to Kanu's home state of Abia to hold a crusade.

Not done with that, Kumuyi was to hold another one in Enugu and Ipob UGM issued threats against him.

Don't forget that Peter Obi's ers in mbaise fought with the pope.

Also don't forget that Peter Obi's ers in Ipob fought with jesus Christ, abandoned Christianity and followed Judaism simply because Kanu said British ed Nigeria during the civil war.

During campaigns, Peter Obi went to the church to campaign and said the church should take back their country. Now, churches are not needed anymore. Unfortunately, his band of demented goats called Obidients are nodding their empty heads in approval.

It is Peter Obi's ers who will eventually destroy Peter Obi. Whatever they touch gets damaged hopelessly.

vigil is good as spiritual exercise but it will not create jobs nor develop the country or economy.

u can attend vigils and be in poverty.

If u like condemn Peter Obi without proper context.
