Clergyman Mike Bamiloye has taken to social media to criticize Nigerian pastors with large congregations for spreading "fake news, fashion, vainglory, and ego" to their followers.
Bamiloye issued a stern warning that these pastors will be held accountable by God during judgment. In his post, he wrote:
"YOU AND YOUR MEGA-PARISH
You have successfully built a Mega Parish Congregation with more than 50,000 to 100,000 followers on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. Congratulations!
You are now a General Overseer who controls and feeds a large number of followers. But what do you feed your followers with? JUNKS, GARBAGE, TRASH...
You feed them with:
- Your EGO,
- Your PRIDE,
- Your VAINGLORY,
- Your FALSE DOCTRINES,
- PICTURES OF YOURSELF,
- Your new clothes and latest fashions,
- Your new shoes and wristwatches,
- Your plate of food at Mr. Biggs,
- Your roasted chicken lap and fries at Tantalizer.
You always post pictures of your exploits at malls and ice creams from Cold Stone. YOU SEE YOUR LIFE OUTSIDE?
You are blessed with a social media congregation of 40,000 followers, yet you lead them poorly. You give them no good direction, only fake news and outdated wrong information. You feed them with lies.
What about the Bible verses that inspire you? What about the revelations you received during your morning devotions? What about the inspirational thoughts and words that blessed your life? What about the powerful words you received from God, if any?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THE PEOPLE GOD COMMITTED TO YOUR CARE?
You will give account of the lives of your congregation, which you have influenced badly with your posts.
Shalom."
