JERRY EZE, SELMAN, NATHANIEL BASSEY, OROKPO AND EVERY OTHER CROWD-PULLING MINISTER NEED TO HEAR THIS by Dae Jumong

Apostle Arome Osayi made some sobering statements:

• Nigeria is not broken because politicians failed. The Church failed.

• The people in government did not come from another planet. Many came from our churches.

• We have produced church members but not disciples.

• We have preached the gospel without the cross.

• Everybody wants a microphone.

• Very few want a cross.

• Everybody wants influence.

• Very few want transformation.

• Everybody wants a platform.

• Very few want the dealings of God.

• We have preachers everywhere, but very few people who have truly died to self.

• We have crowds, but no foot soldiers.

• We have activity, but very little change.

• We have many voices, but very few men.

• Jesus has no men.

Honestly, I agree with him.

One reason I agree is because I am seeing exactly what he is talking about.

I recently watched Christians, pastors and respected church leaders celebrate a massive cathedral built on what many sincere believers would regard as manipulative theology.

The building was celebrated.

The crowds were celebrated.

The money was celebrated.

The influence was celebrated.

The size was celebrated.

Very few people stopped to ask whether the means mattered.

For many Christians today, the end justifies the means.

As long as the auditorium is big enough.

As long as the crowds are large enough.

As long as the offering is high enough.

As long as the church trends online.

Nobody wants to ask difficult questions.

I see the Church rewarding fake testimonies.

I see the Church rewarding fake healings.

I see the Church rewarding fake falling under the anointing.

I see the Church rewarding emotional manipulation.

I see the Church rewarding spectacle.

I see the Church rewarding whatever draws a crowd.

Meanwhile, faithful men labour for decades preaching truth and remain largely ignored.

And what does that teach younger ministers?

It teaches them what the Church rewards.

A Church that rewards manipulation will eventually produce manipulators.

A Church that rewards image over integrity will eventually produce leaders who know how to perform but not how to serve.

Then we wonder why the nation is broken.

The First Lady is a pastor.

Many politicians are churchgoers.

Many public officials call themselves Christians.

Pastors have direct access to power.

Yet millions of ordinary Nigerians can barely feed themselves.

Many cannot afford school fees.

Many cannot afford healthcare.

Many cannot afford rent.

And still, many church leaders seem more comfortable romancing politicians than speaking truth to power.

The really scary part?

Some of the sincere ones are beginning to compromise too.

They see what fills auditoriums.

They see what gets applause.

They see what attracts invitations.

They see what generates money.

And they slowly adjust their message.

Not because they stopped loving God.

But because they see what the crowd rewards.

“If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.” (Luke 9:23)

Maybe Nigeria’s problem is not a shortage of churches.

Maybe it’s a shortage of crucified men.

Maybe we have produced celebrities where Jesus was looking for disciples.

Maybe we have produced religious brands where Jesus was looking for men willing to die.

If Jesus walked into your church next Sunday, would He find a man carrying a cross or just another celebrity carrying a microphone?
