Video; Pastor Tunde Bakare speaks on Mohbad’s death
Nigerian clergyman Pastor Tunde Bakare has reacted to the sudden death of Nigerian singer Mohbad, who passed away at 27 on September 12, 2023.
During a sermon in Leicester, United Kingdom, on Sunday, September 24, 2023,
Bakare said that the late singer may have died as a consequence of his actions while alive.
He asserted that when Mohbad was drinking, smoking,
and associating with evil people, he didn’t realize that the harvest would come so soon.
Bakare’s comments have sparked controversy,
with some people accusing him of being insensitive and blaming the victim.
Others have defended Pastor Tunde Bakare’s right to express his opinion,
arguing that he is simply reminding people of the consequences of their actions.
It is important to note that Bakare’s comments are just one perspective on Mohbad’s death.
The cause of Mohbad’s death is still under investigation,
and it is unfair to speculate about his lifestyle or actions without knowing all the facts.
It is also important to note that Bakare’s comments are not representative of all religious leaders.
Many religious leaders have spoken out against Mohbad’s death,
offering their condolences to his family and friends.
The death of Mohbad is a tragedy, and it is important to remember
that he was a young man with a bright future ahead of him.

about trust, privacy, and boundaries in marriage.

Video: “What Kind Of God Is That?”- Nigerian Prophet Calls Out Church Members Over Inadequate Offerings
A Nigerian prophet has sparked outrage online after calling out church members for offering “inadequate” amounts of money.
In a viral video, the prophet, whose name has not been released,
can be seen passionately addressing his congregation,
expressing his disappointment with their offering habits.
“What kind of God do you serve?” he questions.
“Do you think God is satisfied with the little coins you throw into the offering basket?”
He goes on to compare the church members’ offerings to the wealth
they spend on material possessions like expensive cars and smartphones.
“You can afford to buy the latest iPhone, but you can’t afford to give God a decent offering?” he exclaims.
His words have ignited a heated debate on social media,
with some people agreeing with his sentiment and others criticizing his approach.
Those who support the prophet’s message argue that church
members should be more generous in their giving,
especially considering the financial resources they possess.
“If you truly believe in God and appreciate all that he has done for you,
then your offerings should reflect that,” one commenter wrote.
However, others believe that the prophet’s method of shaming and guilt-tripping his
congregation is counterproductive and may even drive people away from the church.
“This is not the way to encourage people to give,” another commenter stated.
“It’s important to teach people about the importance of giving,
but it should be done in a way that is positive and uplifting.”
The prophet’s actions have also raised concerns about the role of money in religious institutions.
Some people believe that churches should focus on spiritual matters
rather than emphasizing financial contributions.

The Shepherd-in-charge of the Celestial Church of Christ International Headquarters in Ketu, Lagos State, Olatosho Oshoffa,
has condemned the invitation extended to singers Portable and
Pasuma to perform at one of the church branch’s praise nights.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Oshoffa stated that the decision to invite the two singers
was “inconsistent with the tenets and doctrines of the Celestial Church of Christ.”
He noted that Portable and Pasuma are known for their controversial lifestyles and music,
which he said are “not in line with the teachings of the church.”
“The Celestial Church of Christ is a spiritual organization, and we cannot allow our sacred spaces
to be used for performances that are not in line with our beliefs,” Oshoffa said.
“I have spoken to the cleric in charge of the parish where the praise night is scheduled to take place,
and he has assured me that the invitation to Portable and Pasuma has been revoked.”
The decision to stop Portable and Pasuma from performing at the praise night has been met
with mixed reactions from members of the Celestial Church of Christ.
Some members have praised Oshoffa for taking a stand against what they see as “unholy” performances.
Others have criticized the decision, saying that it is an infringement on the freedom of worship.
Regardless of the reactions, it is clear that Oshoffa’s decision
has sparked a debate about the role of music in the Celestial Church of Christ.
