I was raised Catholic. Altar boy. Baptized. Communion. The full package.Then I started asking questions.
Nobody had real answers.
Asking questions felt like the sin itself. So I left.
I tried other churches. Same pattern every time.
Get close to a pastor, you see fraud.
Get close to another, sexual immorality.
One pastor from Anambra, Ikechukwu something, used to draw massive crowds in some communities in Enugu, especially Nsukka.
So one day he was invited to a crusade at Ime Okpe Obukpa in Nsukka. His car broke down, we went drove him to the ground. That landed me a seat right behind him, under the same canopy as his crew.
I had stopped closing my eyes during prayers long before then; after I saw a woman(Ifunanya Ugwuanyi) under anointing headbutt Erochukwu Eze in the groin so hard he nearly died, so I watched.
Every prophecy he gave? The key details were already written down for him, names, family problems, reputation in the community etc, and tucked inside his Bible.
Once he dropped the right info, the person would fill in the rest themselves.
That was the day I was done. I no longer worship God in churches.
I worship Him in how I live, how I treat people, and the choices I make daily.
To me, Christianity is not a religion.
Itβs a way of life.
Your family will start experiencing transformation.
Once you clock the fraud going on in the church, overcome your fear of hellfire and check out, every part of your life will improve.
Apart from the last time i was in Lagos,I've not stepped foot in a church for over a decade.
