why must we go to Church?
those who worship from home are they any better or worse off?or it doesnt matter where or how as long we serve God?
If you ask me,I would say that you leave browsing right now and spend a few minutes just meditating on Gods word if you cant go out..
See ya!
Hmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteIt's good to go to church to always appreciate baba God for every thing he is done for us and to worship.
DeleteStella the bible says we should not forsake the fellowship of the brethren. Off course we can worship God at home. However the gathering is important
Delete1. Do not forsake the assembly of the saints
Delete2. On the first day of the week, when they gathwrws to break bread
3. When you come together on the first day of the week, each of you must bring what you kept apart
***bible passages supporting congregational / sunday worship
I will be at home all through
ReplyDelete*Larry was here*

DeleteA word of prayer for me from every BV today😞😞😞😞😞
ReplyDeleteIt is well with your soul dear E-hug
DeleteThe Good Lord is ur strength..
DeleteIt is well.
Whatever be your burden, know that the Lord is able to lift it.
DeleteAs the saying goes.. if Joy is guaranteed us in the morning, why cry at night? So you see my dear, let not thy heart be burdened. Drop it all at His feet. Rejoice my dear, rejoice

DeleteSo now na anticlockwise u dey? Kikikiki.

DeleteEmjay supu!!!!
Ahahah Emjay Emjay. What are u saying na? Lol
DeleteChristianity isn't the African way of worship. We have the colonialist slave traders to thank for confusing and hypnotising us into believing that our traditional ways were pagan. The blind adherence to Christian ways is responsible for most of the confusion we suffer in this country. Look at the Asians, Indians and Chinese, they refused to bow down to colonial subjugation. They hold their traditional religions tight. Look at where they are economically whilst we here are confused and be giving all your money to one pastor so that he can travel to Dubai with his girlfriend. Y'all need to wake up. [BHS]
ReplyDeleteAbeg fly away
DeleteLmao, Jasmine.
DeleteI just remembered 'Two Black Birds.'
Anon, we don't want to wake up. Practice your irreligious lifestyle and leave us to keep slumbering mbok.
God bless you.

You have spoken the truth but our people no go gree hear word o!
DeleteHehehe. Go and sleep. It's usually the poor pple that have the mentality. Do u have madam and Oga anonymous
DeleteHahahaha...
DeleteAnon,I know where you are coming from...
Jasmine,if you live outside the shores of Naija,you will understand what he is saying...
Atheist y u go anon on this?
DeleteQueen living in or outside Nigeria, what u know and believe is constant. Not everyone that stays outside Nigeria thinks that way.
DeleteSome people leave the country and their beliefs change. Perhaps, they never really believed
Worshiping God is what can be done even in your private room, meditate his words, share his blessing with others and follow his words. A lot of churches are not leading people the right way. Jesus Christ is the only way to God, accept him as your savior and be thankful of everything you have. God bless our sundays
ReplyDeleteStop deceiving yourself "when two or three gather in my name I am there in their midst"
DeleteA dead white man is the only way to your god in sky. Right? Abeg park well yare
DeleteStella pray for me oooo
ReplyDeleteI kukuma de my house... Misses first and second service #LFC a.k.a WINNERS
ReplyDeleteBible says that we should not forsake the gathering of brethren (church)
ReplyDeleteWhen you go to church,u meet your brothers and sisters in the lord and you'll also hear the word that will make you to be rooted in Christ Jesus
I think we can worship wherever but the scripture encourages us to fellowship with the brethren (othe people of God). And the church is the symbollic house of God
ReplyDeleteWe have met it like DAT,and we just continue like DAT,but when you are in God gathering you feel totally free and happy .
ReplyDeleteWe go because it's a command from the scriptures which says we should not forsake the assembly of the righteous..
ReplyDeleteI streamed online.
ReplyDeleteVisiting God's house and hearing His word, listening to the choir sing and seeing people who are bigger and richer than you humbling themselves before God mellows our pride and returns us back to the foot of Christ. It shows us God's Omnipotency and how Mighty he is.
Some of the church goers are evil doers! Take that to the bank.
ReplyDeleteNow, i go to church to fellowship with brethren, but i am not a church goer.
It sometimes gets nauseating being in the midst of some evil people all in the name of church.
I love God and i'm passionate about the gospel..
I go to church when i want to, and not because its sunday and a church day.
To pray and worship
ReplyDeleteI believe we can worship God anywhere we want.
ReplyDeleteBut to fulfill all righteousness, we should go to His temple and Serve Him. Just as Jesus did in his time
#My opinion
I go to church for so many reasons
ReplyDelete1. The bible says u should obey the words of your pastor nd u shall prosper. No pastor will tell u not to come to church.
2. The Bible says you should not forsake the gathering of the brethren.
3. the pple in church seems like a family to me so I go to be with my family.
4. I do not club, my club is the church, I go there to dance.
5. I also go to showcase my outfits.
The holy spirit is not just in church but in me so I don't go to church to encouter God.
Just passing....
ReplyDeleteTo showcase my beautiful self, especially when I have a new hairdo or outfit. God is so sweet mehn. Whenever I'm in church, I tend to forget my sorrow, I flow with te rhythm. And because I believe Sunday isn't too much to be dedicated to my maker. He's just the best. I love love Jesus. If u don't love going to church on Sundays, biko change your church ooooooo. I always look forward going to church. Singles and married, Thursday showers, vigils, Sunday services.. and yes I attend The Fountain Of Life Church Ilupeju. Today's service was awesome. God bless Pastor Taiwo and Pastor Nomthi Odukoya... yaaaay, Jesus calls me friend!
ReplyDeleteI've not been to church more than 3 times this year, I stay at home and listen to Inspiration FM 92.3 from 8:30 to 9:30am, then tune in to Daddy freez of cool FM from 9:30am to 10:30am and I'm so blessed from both radio stations. Today's topic by Daddy freez is (5 Steps to Teleguide your destiny). I evaluate my life compared to the church goers around me and I'm like REALLY?? well I advocate for people to know God on a personal level. My two Kobo.
ReplyDeleteCos the bible says to fellowship with the brethren.
ReplyDeleteThere's a great power in like minds coming together and dwelling in the presence of God.
The children of darkness understands this so much that's why they meet in halls, lodges, and what have you, and they don't joke with it.
Heck, they even have their own church!
Wonder why Christians trivialize these things.
Prayer is also a personal thing. You can pray anywhere and at anytime.
Simply put we go to church to fellowship and fellowship is the embassy of the Kingdom!
ReplyDeleteTo keep us in remembrance of the word and for renewing of our minds
ReplyDeleteSTELLA WE HARDLY GO TO CHURCH BUT THERE IS NOTHING MY HUBBY AND I HAVE ASKED JEHOVAH FOR IN OUR ROOM THAT HE HAS NOT GIVEN US.GOD EVEN DID MORE THAN WE ASKED HIM FOR. I CANNOT TELL PEOPLE I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS RECESSION THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. GOD IS REAL.
ReplyDeleteReally...plz retrace your step
DeleteThere's a lot to be gained, from fellowship with the brethren and discussing the word of God. It helps you grow spiritually.
ReplyDeleteI've been able to compare my spiritual growth when I stay home with that when I go to church, and they're not the same.
Meanwhile, I want to thank God for his mercies upon me and mine. And for preventing a major disaster in my parish on Friday.
A fire started in the music room inside the priests' compound. It destroyed two rooms, before it was put out by the gallant fire fighters, and some parishioners who were around at the time. Funny enough, the band members' generating set, filled to the brim with PMS, was intact, despite the fact that the electronics placed on it, and everything else in the room was blown to bits. Awesome God!!
Due to the closeness of the structures in the church compound, it would have been another story, if the fire wasn't put out early enough.
Our monumental parish, took us more than a decade and several millions to build. I shudder to imagine what would have happened if the devil had his way. And no lives were lost, thank heavens.
No, I'm not sorry for the epistle.
Happy new week, fam.
#WhiteDiamondOut
Glory be to Jesus, honour to our mother Mary, God be praised cos he is present in the blessed sacrament.
DeleteLolz....as soon as I saw parish, I just knew it was Catholic church. Glory to Jesus. Who says Jesus isn't present in the blessed sacrament. Imagine what would have happened if that generating set with the PMS got blown. The lord is good.
DeleteAmen, Ollie.
DeleteLa Creamie, yes, He is.
Hehehe, Vivilicious. My dear o. It would have been terrible. All the time. :D
#WhiteDiamondOut
Nigerians goes to church to showcase their beautiful cloths,cars,wrist watches,shoes,bags,jewelleries,to look for husband,chase a babe etc...
ReplyDeleteFake set of people!...that's why God is punishing them through Vuharia!...
Most of them don't worship God with their body and spirit!...
ReplyDeleteNa dem do bad thing pass!,..
My neighbor that is a deeper life member is the most wicked person I have ever seen!...
Same thing my mum would say, but i was born and raised in Deeper life bible church sha... I guess she attended because of my dad, she don port 4 like 7yrs now
Delete*Ugo*
LINDA I DELETE ALL HIS COMMENTS WHEN I SEE IT COS HE ONLY INSULTS ME OR SOMEONE ELSE...FRUSTRATION IS REAL
ReplyDeleteThank you for filtering some filthy comments here. Some bvs have lost sense of decorum when they are in the public domain.
DeleteKwakwakwakwa...
DeleteYou are so funny!...
Imagine that small rat insulting his elders...
Some parents have failed woefully!..
Its not even his fault, no b internet give am power to dey insult his elders.
DeleteKusopa, you are so right.
DeleteThat's how one foolish child called "dumb moves" called her father a retard on that Stella Oduah's son's post.
No respect anymore. One would just cuss out someone else's parents without remorse.
I already told her what to expect in her family.
Rubbish.
I go to church because my nanna and my papa make me to....arrrgggh Nigerians.
ReplyDeleteMy mom doesn't really care, when I visit her in Portugal we watch "last Vida sigue" every Sunday" she says its our bonding time.😊
Oh momma 😊
Millions of innocent men, women, and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined, imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half of the world fools, and the other half hypocrites. To support error and roguery all over the earth. Thomas Jefferson.
ReplyDeleteI was just asking my self the same question Stella but I guess going to church is important. It helps us build our spiritual lives , just that Nigerian churches are annoying these days, all they do is display materialism and focus of raising money for endless projects. I love oyibo churches, 50 mins and ur out.... Naija church 3 hours and u still dey there doing what I don't know. If only churches can just focus on their primary purpose
ReplyDeleteStella, u wan run people's business down abi?
ReplyDeleteMental slavery for Africans. Even Jesus na black man, but maybe no Nigerian will believe that.
You go to church because it is an instruction from God Himself,He says do not forsake the assemby with the brethren,it is a mandate from God so please follow it.there is time for everything!
ReplyDeleteAnyone who questions why we go to church should first answer why we go to school? Is it possible to stay at home and read and study? Do you need a school to enroll you for an exam, to rate you or explain or confirm what you read at home or to give you a certificate that you are qualified for what you studied? How significant is a school to preparing one for the material life? If it is crucial then going to church is much more because we are only passengers in this world.
ReplyDeleteLet is be reminded that we spiritual beings on a journey for a time in this world and going to Church is now what people have turned into -God has become and end to their selfish material desires. Going to church is to prepare us ultimately for the after life, you receive instructions how to live the life after, gathering all the virtues and qualities for the life beyond and in fellowship with our co-travellers because you cannot run the heavenly race on your own. We need each other to lift the weak and to encourage. Going to church on Sunday first and fore most is a consequent of creation of man to rest in imitation of God who rested after his work of creation. It is 3rd of the ten commandment to keep the day of the Lord holy. It is a day of living the covenant and it has a promise of blessings attached to it according to Prophet Jeremiah 59.
You get certain messages and revelations of the bible from a totally different perspective that may never have occurred to you by yourself. Also a burning coal requires other burning coals to stay lit.
