Different Gospels

 

When you move abroad you’ll notice a difference in preaching styles.

The gospel you’ll hear from Nigerian preachers is absolutely different from abroad gospel.

While many Nigerian preachers focus more on 

tithing and prosperity,

– Breaking generational curses,

– Casting out poverty,

– Binding demons,

– Praying for jobs, husbands, 

– Praying against accidents etc

The preachers abroad focus more on building righteousness:

– Their gospels are less about wealth, or tithes, or poverty,

– They preach about building a relationship with God

– About how to be righteous,

– About Charity, and helping others

– About loving one another, etc

Although different, these two types of gospel are valid and essential in their own way.

But the former is influenced mostly by bad governance, which is what we suffer in Nigeria.

It is true that people stop being overly religious when they move abroad, and this is because all the things they pray for have been taken care of by the government.

• They don’t have to pray for jobs

• They don’t have to pray against accidents, because roads are smooth.

• They don’t have to pray against robbery and kidnapping 

• They don’t have to pray for security 

• They don’t have to pray that Nepa brings the light. 

• They don’t have to pray to get admission to the university!

• They don’t have to pray for a medical condition to go away, because hospitals are working!

All these things are basic necessities of life that we don’t have to ask God for if we have a functional government. 

But we run to God for everything because we have a failed system!

God help us!
