Stunning revelation from the former man of God
A lot of people are in the dark as to the kind o activities that goes on behind the scene. This is a very controversial matter and I expect to get a lot of feedback from different quarters, even some of my former colleagues may not be comfortable with these revelation But I've been known not to compromise on the truth.
Prior to becoming an assistant pastor, I always looked for ways to put smiles on peoples faces, it gives me a lot of satisfaction, I could relate with people's pains easily because I didn't have it as well surviving the streets of Port Harcourt and Abuja. But when I can't do anything to help people or ease their predicament I feel this sense of emptiness.
When the opportunity came for me to attend a pastoral course I grabbed it with both hands. I attended the program and graduated.
Finally! I can now fulfill my dreams, at least I wouldn't just listen to people's problems but would also have the ability to solve those problems through prayers and supplications, "I thought";
It was a shock how things turned out. In this article I won't be economical with the truth but I may withhold the names of churches involved in this acts. Being a bright graduate from the pastoral college it endeared me to the leaders in the denomination, before long I was promoted to an assistant to the presiding pastor.
Everything changed for me when we undertook a prayer session or a member in distress. After the prayer session the presiding pastor informed the member that her case required some spiritual actions and sacrifices, on the night o the said spiritual actions and sacrifices I was assigned to carry some items to a particular area and perform some rituals.
This was shocking to me because I'm from Ammuri and there're people who practice The African Traditional Religion (ATR) and this was their method of worship and prayers.
I lived with this confusion for a while Ironically I was very comfortable performing those rituals and each time I carried out those rituals and sacrifices, it felt as if that is what I was called to do. But on a second thought, is this the right place to be doing this?
eventually I relocated to Abuja hoping that things would improve for me generally and hopefully join another denomination to get answers to the nagging questions that had made restless for a long time.
I arrived Abuja with lots of hopes and expectations, unfortunately things didn't just pick up immediately but at least I joined another denomination and started worshiping there. Things didn't turn out differently because I was also promoted to the assistant pastor there.
I was excited but it turned out that they had the same practices as the previous denomination of carrying out rituals and sacrifices just like the Native doctors and they get result Inside me I knew that something was not right, outside, they pretended to do everything by the bible but inside they do all sorts in contrast to what they preached.
