Nigerian Pastor Sparks Outrage By Asking Congregation To Bring Alcoholic Drink To Church
A Nigerian pastor has sparked controversy and outrage after asking his congregation to bring an alcoholic drink, Star beer, to church for a prayer session dubbed “Your star must shine.” The unusual request has left many wondering if the pastor’s intention is to bless the drink or use it as a metaphor for something greater. According to reports,
the pastor made the request during a recent sermon, encouraging his followers to bring the alcoholic beverage to church so they could participate in the special prayer session. The request has since gone viral on social media, with many Nigerians expressing their disapproval and outrage. Critics have condemned the pastor’s request as inappropriate and blasphemous, arguing that alcohol has no place in a religious setting. Some have also questioned the pastor’s motives, wondering if he is trying to promote a culture of drinking among his congregation.
Despite the backlash, the pastor remains adamant that the Star beer is a symbol of excellence and that his congregation should strive for excellence in all aspects of their lives. He has also assured his followers that the drink will be used to represent their individual stars and that the prayer session will be focused on helping them achieve their goals and aspirations. The controversy has sparked a wider conversation about the role of religion in Nigerian society and the ways in which religious leaders can connect with their followers.
While some have praised the pastor’s innovative approach, others have called for a more traditional and conservative approach to religion. As the debate continues to rage on, one thing is certain – the pastor’s unconventional request has sparked a much-needed conversation about the role of religion in Nigerian society and the ways in which religious leaders can engage with their followers.
Whether or not the Star beer is a suitable symbol for a prayer session, the pastor’s intention to inspire his congregation and help them achieve their goals is clear. Only time will tell if his unorthodox approach will pay
