The President of Mount Zion Faith Ministries International, MR Mike Bamiloye has recently voiced out his perception about having comedy in churches.
It’s no more news that 90 percent of our comedians mostly base their jokes on pastors, churches and it’s like and in recent time, having comedy in churches for special programs has been spreading.
This has angered Mike Bamiloye who thinks it’s inappropriate to have comedians come into a church and start cracking jokes with the Holy Spirit and Christianity in totality.
According to him, he says it’s a slap on the face to allow that happen while most believers do not see anything wrong with the fact that our creator is being mocked.
He also disclosed that other religion is never used by comedians for their jokes because believers of those faith guides their religion jealously without allowing anyone blasphemes about it.
He said: “As per COMEDY in Church Meetings and Events!!
I want to address Christians – ALL denominations – this morning without prejudice!
For a long while I have questioned the inclusion of COMEDY in Church events. What do I question? The fact that the comedians brought in are allowed to make jokes of scriptures, the Blood of Jesus, speaking in tongues, the throne of grace etc.’ AND WE SIT THERE LAUGHING!
What are we laughing at? What is funny? Mocking God and Christ and the Holy Spirit and the Word is funny????
We hear of other religions where they are obsessed with protecting the image of their Leader and we gleefully allow people to MOCK our Leader JESUS CHRIST and the Holy Spirit and thereby indirectly MOCKING GOD!!! They look at us with disdain because we are BAD AMBASSADORS of our faith!
Luke warmness and cynicism has crept slowly into the life of Christians. We pull ourselves down publicly; abuse leaders of the gospel will glee, mock certain commandments of God. YET when we run into trouble who do we call upon???
Bible has already stated that towards the end times there will be mockers of the gospel and preachers doing wrong. WHY ARE YOU ALLOWING YOURSELF TO BE ONE OF THEM???
We come into Facebook and spew out curses and abuses – mock the commandments especially when it comes to forgiveness issues and honor of parents etc and we go to church and lift up hands and voices to WHO??? HE who we MOCK with DISOBEDIENCE? We quickly mouth monotonous words – God is in control! Amen! It is I was thinking of all these since Friday when a comedian was allowed in the stage at the EXPERIENCE to use a scripture in the Old Testament as foundation for his jokes! I LAUGHED also but later felt badly convicted and I said I will speak out.”
