Uti Nwachukwu, who won the Big Brother Africa 5, says he hates that some pastors in Africa use fear as a tool to convince their members to worship God.
The actor took to his verified Twitter handle on Sunday to state that the mode of operation of some ministers and pastors in this continent “is extremely wrong.”
He wrote,
I HATE that some African pastors/ministers often use FEAR as a tool to convince people to worship GOD! Fear of Poverty Fear of Failure Fear of Attack & ultimately Fear of Hell!
This is EXTREMELY WRONG! God has not Given us the spirit of Fear! WE HAVE TO BE WISE IN THESE TIMES O!
The 36-year-old native of Ndokwa from Aboh kingdom in Ndokwa-east local government area of Delta state further added that many worshippers may have unwittingly been worshipping the devil.
He wrote
FAITH is to God as FEAR is to the Devil.
Some of you have unknowingly been elevating and honouring the Devil in the same churches that you feel you are worshipping GOD! Open your eyes today and embrace Grace Faith and LOVE! God is LOVE …not fear !!!
