Reverend Yomi Kasali, progenitor/overseer of Substructure of Truth Ministry, while unveiling plans for the last Easter celebration, in an interview with Olasunkanmi Akoni, verbalized on a number of national and religious issues.
He was in Foursquare Gospel Church afore founding the Substructure of Truth Ministry 11 years ago.
The reason why churches subsist is to combat moral issues. The Church is not expected to be a business centre. This is because the word of God is primarily moral in nature. But secondary is the spiritual aspect. If you are spiritual, you will be a moral person. Morality is not about sexual morality alone. There is moral decadence across the country. We have churches everywhere denoting that we are religious in nature.
We are probably the most praying people on earth but corruption, prostitution and alcoholism are still high.
The medicos no longer care for their patients. Rather than people visually examine the issue, what we often verbalize is that we should thank God that we have several churches; that who kens what the caliber of decadence would have been if these were not available.
I oppose that argument and the reason is; why would there be several churches in the country and there would be high cases of corruption, prostitution and alcoholism?
In the early 1960s when we had fewer churches, these were relatively low.
It is indicative of the fact that there is something erroneous with our churches. It is piteous that churches have been turned into business centres and people are not bold to verbally express it. I may not be doted by my colleagues but I rather be doted by God than seek the love of my colleagues.
